TWiki Site-Level Preferences

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

Line: 49 to 49
 
    • Set NOAUTOLINK =
    • Note: Use the [[...][...]] syntax to link topics in case you disabled WikiWord linking. The <noautolink> ... </noautolink> syntax can be used to prevents links within a block of text.
Added:
>
>
  • Use topic title instead of topic name in forced links, such as in link [[BugItem1234]]. If enabled, the link label is set to the form field named "Title", the topic preferences setting named TITLE, or the topic name if neither exists. Forced links with label such as [[BugItem1234][bug 1234]] are not affected. The topic title can be shown even with disabled flag by using syntax [[+BugItem1234]]. NOTE: Page rendering may be slower if enabled and if there are many forced links in a topic.
    • Set SHOWTOPICTITLELINK =
 
  • If you use non WikiWords for topic names (for example "Expenses" or "Mighty1") and if you use bracket notation to link to those topics, it is useful to turn of all warnings (like: "WARNING: This topic name is not recommended because it will not be linked automatically") and checkboxes ("Allow non WikiWord for the new topic name"). Can be overwritten by web preferences. Set to on to activate:

<
  • URL of current topic
>
>

  • Parent breadcrumbs for headings:
    • Add %PARENTBC% to a heading of a topic to show the breadcrumb of its parents. Parent topics are linked, topic names are shown spaced out in a smaller font, and are separated by » quotes. In addition, a parentlist SetGetPlugin variable is set to the parent list, and a parent variable is set to the immediate parent. This can be retrieved later in the topic using %GET{parentlist}% and %GET{parent}%, respectively.
    • Example raw text:
      ---+ %PARENTBC% Myself and me
    • Expands to:

      Grandma And Granpa » Mother And Father » Myself and me

    • Set PARENTBC = »

 
Changed:
<

  • Vertical bar / pipe symbol:

    • Set VBAR = |

  • Hint: Above shortcuts are useful in TWiki tables where you cannot use newlines
Line: 284 to 328
 
    • Set S = PICK
    • Set T = TIP
    • Set U = UPDATED
Added:
>
>
    • Set WIP = Work in Progess!
 
    • Set X = ALERT!
    • Set Y = DONE
Line: 387 to 432
 
  • Format of a NewWikiWord link:
  • Note that $text is the topic link text, $summary is the HTML-cleaned topic link text, $topic is the name of the new topic, and $web is the name of the web for the new topic. Values are taken from the link syntax [[$web.$topic][$text]]. For normal plain WikiWord links $text and $topic are the same. The value of $web is the current web unless the link is in the format $web.$topic.
    • default setting:
Changed:
<
<
      • Set NEWLINKFORMAT = $text
>
>
      • Set NEWLINKFORMAT = $text
 
    • alternative setting:
Changed:
<
<
      • #Set NEWLINKFORMAT = $text
>
>
      • #Set NEWLINKFORMAT = $text

  • User signature format. The SIGNATUREFORMAT is used when creating new topics, BUBBLESIGNATUREFORMAT is used when adding comments with CommentPlugin:
    • default setting:
      • Set BUBBLESIGNATUREFORMAT = -- TWiki Guest - 2025-03-14
      • Set SIGNATUREFORMAT = -- TWiki Guest - 2025-03-14
      • Note: The USERSIG is defined in section "user_sig" of UserReports. The desired expanded signature format in a topic is %USERSIG{%WIKINAME% - %DATE%}%, this with unexpanded USERSIG, but expanded WIKINAME and DATE. A hack using CALCULATE is used to keep USERSIG unexpanded: %CALCULATE{%U}%SERSIG{...}%
    • alternative legacy setting:
      • #Set SIGNATUREFORMAT = -- TWikiGuest - 2025-03-14
 
  • PreviewBackground image:
    • Set PREVIEWBGIMAGE = /wiki/twiki-6.1.0/pub/TWiki/PreviewBackground/preview2bg.gif
Line: 426 to 479
