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

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

<div class="twikiNotification"> __%X% NOTE:__ Don't edit this topic, changes will be lost on the next TWiki upgrade. Define new site-level settings, or overload below settings in [[%LOCALSITEPREFS%]] </div>

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 [[%SCRIPTURLPATH{"configure"}%][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 = #FFD8AA

   * [[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 %SYSTEMWEB%.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

#CopyrightNotice
   * Copyright notice:
      * Set WEBCOPYRIGHT = %MAKETEXT{"Copyright &&copy; [_1] by the contributing authors. All material on this collaboration platform is the property of the contributing authors." args="2008-%GMTIME{$year}%"}% <br /> %MAKETEXT{"Ideas, requests, problems regarding [_1]? <a href='[_2]'>Send feedback</a>" args="<nop>%WIKITOOLNAME%,mailto:%WIKIWEBMASTER%?subject=%WIKITOOLNAME%%20Feedback%20on%20%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 = 

   * Prevent automatic linking of [[%SYSTEMWEB%.WikiWords][WikiWords]] and acronyms (if set to =on=); link <nop>WikiWords (if empty); can be overwritten by web preferences:
      * Set NOAUTOLINK = 
      * __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.

   * 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:
      * Set HIDE_NON_WIKI_WORD_WARNINGS =
      
   * 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

#TableOfContents
   * Generated Table of Contents (TOC) settings
      * The first header level to appear in the TOC:
         * Set TOC_MIN_DEPTH =
            * If not set: =1=
            * Possible values: =1= to =6=
      * The last header level to appear in the TOC:      
         * Set TOC_MAX_DEPTH =
            * If not set: =6=
            * Possible values: =1= to =6=
            * Can be overridden by =depth= parameter of [[%SYSTEMWEB%.VarTOC2][variable TOC]]
      * The default TOC title:
         * Set TOC_TITLE =
            * If not set: nothing
            * Possible values: any string, for example =On this page:=
            * Can be overridden by =title= parameter of [[%SYSTEMWEB%.VarTOC2][variable TOC]]
      * Do not show a TOC if the topic it contains is included in another topic:
         * Set TOC_HIDE_IF_INCLUDED =
            * If not set: included TOC is shown
            * Possible values: =on= or nothing

   * Format of file link when the __link__ check box is checked:
      * %H% *NOTE:* Keyword ==$name== gets expanded to filename; ==$comment== to comment; ==\t== to tab (3 spaces for bullets).

   * Format of a NewWikiWord link:
   * Note that =$text= is the topic link text, =$topic= is the name of the new topic, and =$web= is the name of the web for the new topic. Values for the 3 are taken from the link syntax =[<nop>[$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.$topic=.
      * default setting:
         * Set NEWLINKFORMAT = <span class="twikiNewLink"><a href="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"edit"}%/$web/$topic?topicparent=%WEB%.%TOPIC%;nowysiwyg=%IF{ "$ EDITMETHOD='wysiwyg'" then="0" else="1"  }%" rel="nofollow" title="%MAKETEXT{"$text (this topic does not yet exist; you can create it)"}%">$text</a></span>
      * alternative setting:
         * #Set NEWLINKFORMAT = <a class="twikiNewLink" href="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"edit"}%/$web/$topic?topicparent=%WEB%.%TOPIC%" rel="nofollow" title="%MAKETEXT{"Create this topic"}%">$text</a>

#NewPreferences
---++ 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 %SYSTEMWEB%.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 [[%SYSTEMWEB%.%TOPIC%]] topic, it is recommended that custom variables are defined in [[%USERSWEB%.%TOPIC%]].

#ProtectedSystemSettings
