TWiki Site-Level Preferences
The following settings are site-level preferences , e.g. affecting all users in all TWiki webs. These preferences can be overwritten by web preferences (topic WebPreferences in each TWiki web) and user preferences (your personal topic, i.e. TWikiGuest in the TWiki.Main web)
Preferences:
Set PREVIEWBGIMAGE = /twiki/pub/TWiki/PreviewBackground/previewbg.gif
Background color of non existing topic: ( default cornsilk or #FFFFCE )
Set NEWTOPICBGCOLOR = #FFFFCE
Font color of non existing topic: ( default #0000FF )
Set NEWTOPICFONTCOLOR = #0000FF
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 = 15
Default state of the link check box in the attach file page. Check box is initially checked if Set ATTACHLINKBOX = CHECKED , 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 =
http-equiv meta tags for view, rdiff, attach, search* scripts:
Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEW =

Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_EDIT =

Site-level preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by WebPreferences and user preferences:
Set FINALPREFERENCES = WIKIWEBMASTER, PREVIEWBGIMAGE
Notes:
A preference is defined as: 6 spaces * Set NAME = value Example:
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 .
The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since %WEBCOPYRIGHT% uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER% variable.
You can introduce new variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts).
