# %WIKITOOLNAME% Site-Level Preferences The following are **_site-level_** settings that affect all users in all webs on this [[TWikiSite]]. They can be selectively overwritten on the **_individual web level_** (see [[WebPreferences]] in each web), and on the **_user level_** (create preferences in your user account topic in the Main web, ex: Main.admin). - %X% **NOTE:** You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.
---- ## General Preferences: - List of %WIKITOOLNAME% webs - on the first line of the upper toolbar (to add a new web, see [[ManagingWebs]] and [[TWikiWebsTable]]): - Set WIKIWEBLIST = [[Main|Main/WebHome]] | [[TWiki|TWiki/WebHome]] | [[Know|Know/WebHome]] | [[Test|Test/WebHome]] - %T% **NOTE:** To automatically list all non-hidden webs in alphabetical order, use this variable instead:
Set WIKIWEBLIST = - List of selected topics in a web - the second line of the upper toolbar (usually overwritten in individual [[WebPreferences]]): - Set WEBTOPICLIST = [[Home|Main/WebHome]] | [[Changes|Main/WebChanges]] | [[Index|Main/WebIndex]] | [[Search|Main/WebSearch]] | Go - Copyright notice: - Set WEBCOPYRIGHT = Copyright © 1999-2002 by the contributing authors. \\nAll material on this collaboration tool is the property of the contributing authors.

Checkbox is initially checked if `Set RELEASEEDITLOCKCHECKBOX = checked="checked"`, or unchecked if empty. If checked, make sure to click on Edit to do more changes; do **not** go back in your browser to the edit page, or you risk that someone else will edit the topic at the same time: (can be overwritten by user preferences) - Set RELEASEEDITLOCKCHECKBOX = - 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 = - Default state of the **_link_** check box in the attach file page.

$name ## Email Settings - TWiki webmaster email address: - Set WIKIWEBMASTER = - Mail host for outgoing mail. This is used for [[WebChangesAlert]] if Perl module **Net::SMTP** is installed. If not, or if `SMTPMAILHOST` is empty, the external sendmail program is used instead (defined by **$mailProgram** in **TWiki.cfg**). Examples: **mail.your.company** or **localhost** - Set SMTPMAILHOST = mail - Mail domain sending mail. SMTP requires that you identify the TWiki server sending mail. If not set, **Net::SMTP** will guess it for you. Ex: **twiki.your.company** - Set SMTPSENDERHOST = ## Plugins Settings - [[TWikiPlugins]] configuration: All plugin modules that exist in the `lib/TWiki/Plugins` directory are activated automatically unless disabled by DISABLEDPLUGINS. You can optionally list the installed plugins in INSTALLEDPLUGINS. This is useful to define the sequence of plugin execution, or to specify other webs then the TWiki web for the plugin topics. Specify plugins as a comma separated list of topics. - Set INSTALLEDPLUGINS = [[DefaultPlugin]] - Set DISABLEDPLUGINS = [[EmptyPlugin]] - Currently activated plugins: [[SpreadSheetPlugin]], [[CommentPlugin]], [[EditTablePlugin]], [[InterwikiPlugin]], [[PreferencesPlugin]], [[SlideShowPlugin]], [[SmiliesPlugin]], [[TablePlugin]], [[TwistyPlugin]] - %T% **NOTE:** You can enable/disable all plugins with the **$disableAllPlugins** flag in the **lib/TWiki.cfg** file. ## HTTP-EQUIV Settings - **http-equiv** meta tags for **view**, **rdiff**, **attach**, **search\*** scripts: * Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEW = - **http-equiv** meta tags for **edit** script. Example, to expire immediately:
`Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_EDIT = ` * Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_EDIT = - **http-equiv** meta tags for **preview** script: * Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_PREVIEW = ## Preferences Access Control - Users or groups allowed to change or rename this %TOPIC% topic: (ex: [[TWikiAdminGroup]]) - Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = - Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = - Site-level preferences that are **not** allowed to be overridden by [[WebPreferences]] and user preferences: - Set FINALPREFERENCES = PREVIEWBGIMAGE, WIKIWEBMASTER, SMTPMAILHOST , SMTPSENDERHOST ## 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**
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces): - Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0 - Preferences are used as [[TWikiVariables]] by enclosing the name in percent signs: **%**. Example: - When you write variable **%WEBBGCOLOR%**, 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 **WEBCOPYRIGHT** before **WIKIWEBMASTER** since the copyright notice uses the webmaster email address. ## Related Topics - [[WebPreferences]] has preferences of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web. - [[TWikiUsers]] has a list of user topics. User topics can have optional user preferences. - [[TWikiVariables]] has a list of common `%VARIABLES%` . - [[TWikiAccessControl]] explains how to restrict access by users or groups.
