---+!! <nop>%WIKITOOLNAME% Site-Level Preferences

This topic defines __site-level__ settings that apply to all users and webs on this TWikiSite.

__%X% Note:__ This topic should be regarded as read-only, so that upgrades can safely overwrite it without risk to your customizations.

Preference settings local to your site should be set in [[%LOCALSITEPREFS%]] (this topic is pointed to by {LocalSitePreferences}, which is set by the admin in the =configure= interface). Settings in [[%LOCALSITEPREFS%]] will override settings in this topic, and should be used for defining custom settings and variables.

#DefaultWebPreferences
---++ Default Web Preferences

%X% *NOTE:* These are just defaults; don't change them here. Instead, add them to the !WebPreferences topic in each web

   * List of selected topics in a web (used in menus)
      * Set WEBTOPICLIST = [[WebChanges][Changes]] %SEP% [[WebIndex][Index]] %SEP% [[WebSearch][Search]] %SEP% Go <input type="text" name="topic" size="16" />

   * Web-specific background color: (is overwritten by web preferences)
      * Set WEBBGCOLOR = #AAC9FF

   * [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon][favicon]]: Attach a =favicon.ico= to a web's WebPreferences or add a =FAVICON= setting to WebPreferences
      * Set FAVICON = %PUBURLPATH%/%BASEWEB%/%WEBPREFSTOPIC%/favicon.ico

   * Image, URL and alternate tooltip text of web's logo.
      * Set WEBLOGOIMG = %WIKILOGOIMG%
      * Set WEBLOGOURL = %WIKILOGOURL%
      * Set WEBLOGOALT = %WIKILOGOALT%

   * 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. <nop>%WEB%.Topic links.
      * Set SITEMAPLIST = on
      * Set SITEMAPWHAT = Describe what this web does.
      * Set SITEMAPUSETO = ...to do something.

   * Copyright notice:
      * Set WEBCOPYRIGHT = <!--<span class="twikiRight"> <a href="http://www.twiki.org/"><img src="%PUBURLPATH%/%TWIKIWEB%/TWikiLogos/T-logo-80x15.gif" alt="This site is powered by the TWiki collaboration platform" width="80" height="15" title="This site is powered by the TWiki collaboration platform" border="0" /></a></span>-->%MAKETEXT{"Copyright &&copy; by the contributing authors. All material on this collaboration platform is the property of the contributing authors." args="1999-%GMTIME{$year}%"}% <br /> %MAKETEXT{"Ideas, requests, problems regarding [_1]? <a href='[_2]'>Send feedback</a>" args="<nop>%WIKITOOLNAME%,mailto:%WIKIWEBMASTER%?subject=%WIKITOOLNAME%&#32;Feedback&#32;on&#32;%BASEWEB%.%BASETOPIC%"}%

   * Simplified Copyright notice for the WebRss feed (don't use any special characters, html tags, entities, wiki markup or WikiWords)
      * Set WEBRSSCOPYRIGHT = Copyright %GMTIME{"$year"}% by contributing authors

   * Exclude web from a =web="all"= search: (Set to =on= for hidden webs; is overwritten by web preferences) __Note__ it is much better to use TWikiAccessControls in individual webs to control who can and can't view the contents of a web. NOSEARCHALL is retained for compatibility, but you should avoid using it.
      * Set NOSEARCHALL = off
   * Prevent automatic linking of [[%TWIKIWEB%.WikiWords][WikiWords]] and acronyms (if set to =on=); link <nop>WikiWords (if empty); can be overwritten by web preferences:
      * Set NOAUTOLINK = off
      * __Note:__ Use the =[<nop>[...][...]]= syntax to link topics in case you disabled <nop>WikiWord linking. The =&lt;noautolink&gt; ... &lt;/noautolink&gt;= syntax can be used to prevents links within a block of text.

   * Warn if =%<nop>INCLUDE{}%= of topic fails: Fail silently if empty or =off=. Output warning message (defined in templates/oopsalerts.tmpl) if set to =on=. Otherwise output specific text (use =$topic= for topic). You can override this in web preferences, or by using a =warn="..."= parameter with =%<nop>INCLUDE{}%= :
      * Set INCLUDEWARNING = on

---++ Default User Settings

%X% *NOTE:* They are typically redefined in topics of individual %MAINWEB%.TWikiUsers

   * Show tool-tip topic info on mouse-over of WikiWord links. Setting can be on, off, or customized. An empty setting or off setting disables the tool-tips (for better performance). The setting can contain $summary to show the topic summary, $date for the last change date, $rev for the revision, $username for the login name of the last editor, $wikiname for the <nop>WikiName, $wikiusername for <nop>%MAINWEB%.WikiName, $topic for the topic name, and $web for the web name
      * Set LINKTOOLTIPINFO = $summary
      * #Set LINKTOOLTIPINFO = $username - $date - $rev: $summary

   * Some skins have two editors available; the default editor, and a second editor which is usually a WYSIWYG editor (the second editor is used by hitting the %MAKETEXT{"WYSIWYG"}% link in =pattern= or =classic= skins). If COMPOSER is not set, the second editor will work the same as the _default_ editor. If the !WysiwygPlugin is installed and it is set to 'kupu' (the default), then the *Kupu* WYSIWYG editor will be enabled. You can change the setting to use any editor that is enabled by setting the =cover= parameter on the edit URL.
      * Set COMPOSER = kupu

   * Horizontal size of text edit box: (can be overwritten by user preferences)
      * Set EDITBOXWIDTH = 70

   * Vertical size of text edit box: (can be overwritten by user preferences)
      * Set EDITBOXHEIGHT = 22

   * Style of text edit box. Set to =width: 99%= for full window width (default; this will overwrite the EDITBOXWIDTH setting), or =width: auto= to disable. This setting works for IE and some other recent browsers. (can be overwritten by user preferences)
      * Set EDITBOXSTYLE = width: 99%

   * Default state of the __Force New Revision__ (ForceNewRevision) check box in preview. Check box is initially checked if =Set FORCENEWREVISIONCHECKBOX = checked="checked"=, or unchecked if empty: (can be overwritten by user preferences)
      * Set FORCENEWREVISIONCHECKBOX = 

   * Default state of the __Minor Changes, Don't Notify__ (DontNotify) check box in preview. Check box is initially checked if =Set DONTNOTIFYCHECKBOX = checked="checked"=, or unchecked if empty: (can be overwritten by user preferences)
      * Set DONTNOTIFYCHECKBOX = checked="checked"

   * Default state of the __link__ check box in the attach file page. Checkbox is initially checked if =Set ATTACHLINKBOX = checked="checked"=, or unchecked if empty (=Set ATTACHLINKBOX ==). If checked, a link is created to the attached file at the end of the topic: (can be overwritten by user preferences)
      * Set ATTACHLINKBOX = 

   * Format of file link when the __link__ check box is checked: (can be overwritten by user preferences)
      * %H% *NOTE:* Keyword ==$name== gets expanded to filename; ==$comment== to comment; ==\t== to tab (3 spaces for bullets).
<!-- verbatim tag required to prevent error in Apache log; does not suppress Set -->
<verbatim>
      * Set ATTACHEDFILELINKFORMAT = \n   * [[%ATTACHURL%/$name][$name]]: $comment
</verbatim>

   * Format of images when the __link__ check box is checked: (can be overwritten by user preferences)
      * %H% *NOTE:* Keyword ==$name== gets expanded to filename; ==$comment== to comment; ==$size== to ==width="..." height="..."== attribute of ==img== tag; ==\t== to tab and ==\n== to linefeed (3 spaces for bullets).

---++ Access Control Settings

   * Users or groups allowed to change or rename this <nop>%TOPIC% topic:
      * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup
      * Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup


---++ Creating New Preference Variables
 
You can introduce new VARIABLES and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).
   * A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand bullet item: ==[3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value== <br /> Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
      * S<nop>et WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
   * Preferences are used as %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: ==%==. Example:
      * When you write variable ==%WEB<nop>BGCOLOR%==, it gets expanded to =%WEBBGCOLOR%= .

   * %X% The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set ==<nop>WEBCOPYRIGHT== before ==<nop>WIKIWEBMASTER== since the copyright notice uses the TWiki administrator e-mail address.
   * %X% In order to protect your custom variables from being overwritten when upgrading the [[%TWIKIWEB%.%TOPIC%]] topic, it is recommended that custom variables are defined in [[%MAINWEB%.%TOPIC%]].
