Jamaro Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the Jamaro web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in DefaultPreferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, eg: TWikiGuest? in the Main web).

Preferences:

• List of topics of the DBG/400.Jamaro web:
  • Set WEBTOPICLIST = Changes  |  Index  |  Search  |  Go

• Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the %STSTEMWEB%.StandardColors)
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #66FFCC

• List this web in the %TWIKIWEB%.SiteMap:
  • If yes, set SITEMAPLIST to on, do not set NOSEARCHALL, and add the "what" and "use to..." description for the site map. Make sure to list only links that include the name of the web, e.g. Jamaro.Topic links.
  • Set SITEMAPLIST = on
  • Set SITEMAPWHAT = TWiki web for the Rowe family
  • Set SITEMAPUSETO = ...collaborate on, well anything, really...

• Exclude web from a web="all" search: (Set to on for hidden webs)
  • Set NOSEARCHALL =

• Prevent automatic linking of WikiWords? and acronyms (if set to on); link WikiWords (if empty); can be overwritten by web preferences:

  • WebTopicEditTemplate?: Default template for new topics in this web. (Site-level is used if topic does not exist)
  • System.WebTopicEditTemplate: Site-level default template
  • DataForms: How to enable form(s)
  • Set WEBFORMS =

• Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the Jamaro web: (See AccessControl)
  • Set DENYWEBVIEW =
  • Set ALLOWWEBVIEW =
  • Set DENYWEBCHANGE =
  • Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = JamaroAdminGroup
  • Set DENYWEBRENAME =
  • Set ALLOWWEBRENAME = JamaroAdminGroup

• Users or groups allowed to change or rename this WebPreferences topic: (I.e. AdminGroup)
  • Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = AdminGroup
  • Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = AdminGroup

• Web preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by user preferences:
  • Set FINALPREFERENCES = NOSEARCHALL, ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, WIKIWEBMASTER, WEBCOPYRIGHT, WEBTOPICLIST, DENYWEBVIEW, ALLOWWEBVIEW, DENYWEBCHANGE, ALLOWWEBCHANGE, DENYWEBRENAME, ALLOWWEBRENAME

Help on Preferences

• A preference setting lets you define a simple macro? that can be expanded in your output.
• A preference setting looks like this:
  3 or 6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
• A preferences setting can be disabled with a # sign. Remove the # sign to enable a local customisation. Example:
  
  • #Set DENYWEBCHANGE = UnknownUser
• Macros defined using preference settings are expanded by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #66FFCC
• The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. i.e. set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since %WEBCOPYRIGHT% uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER% setting.
• You can introduce your own preference settings and use them in your topics and templates.
• Preferences can be defined in a number of places:
  1. DefaultPreferences
  2. SitePreferences
  3. Parent webs WebPreferences
  4. WebPreferences
  5. In user topics
  6. In Plugin documentation topics
  7. In topics
• Preference settings can be finalised, which means they can't be redefined
