	Know . { Readme | Changes | Index | Search | Go }

The following settings are web preferences of the TWiki.Know web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in TWiki Preferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, i.e. TWiki Guest in the TWiki.Main web)

Preferences:

• List of topics of the TWiki.Know web:
  • Set WEBTOPICLIST = Readme | Changes | Index | Search | Go

• Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the Standard Colors)
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #D0FFD0

• List this web in the Site Map:
  • If yes, Set SITEMAPLIST = on, 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. Know.Topic links.
  • Set SITEMAPLIST = on
  • Set SITEMAPWHAT = Information that isn"t specific to jEdit but may be interesting or useful for jEdit users
  • Set SITEMAPUSETO = Learn stuff

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

• Default template for new topics and form(s) for this web:
  • Web Topic Edit Template: Default template for new topics in this web. (Site-level is used if topic does not exist)
  • TWiki.Trash.Web Topic Edit Template?: Site-level default template
  • TWiki Forms: How to enable form(s)
  • Set WEBFORMS =

• Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the Know web: (See TWiki Access Control)
  • Set DENYWEBVIEW =
  • Set ALLOWWEBVIEW =
  • Set DENYWEBCHANGE =
  • Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE =
  • Set DENYWEBRENAME =
  • Set ALLOWWEBRENAME = TWiki Admin Group?

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

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

Notes:

• A preference is defined as:
  6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
• Preferences are used as TWiki Variables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #D0FFD0.
• The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since %WEBCOPYRIGHT% uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER% variable.
• You can introduce new preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).
