Ilanet Site-Level Preferences

  • ALERT! NOTE: You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.

  • Graphics used in TWiki documentation - view all images in TWikiDocGraphics. (There are various ways to set up common icons as text variables. This is simply one quick approach.):

Access Control Settings

  • Users or groups allowed to change or rename this TWikiPreferences topic: (ex: TWikiAdminGroup)

Preferences Control Settings

  • Allow topic level preferences, on or off: If set to on, topic preferences will be read, and will override any web- or site-level preferences not set as FINALPREFERENCES. By default, user preferences will override topic preferences.
    • Set READTOPICPREFS = on

  • Topic level overrides user level preferences, on or off: If set to on, topic preferences will override user preferences. The user can in turn override this behavior by setting further FINALPREFERENCES in his or her user topic.
    • Set TOPICOVERRIDESUSER = off

  • Site-level preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by WebPreferences and user preferences:
    • Set FINALPREFERENCES = ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, PREVIEWBGIMAGE, WIKITOOLNAME, WIKIWEBMASTER, SMTPMAILHOST, SMTPSENDERHOST, ALLOWWEBMANAGE, READTOPICPREFS, TOPICOVERRIDESUSER

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 #FFD8AA .

  • ALERT! 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.
