Sandbox Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the Sandbox web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in TWiki.TWikiPreferences and Main.TWikiPreferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, eg: Main.TWikiGuest in the Main web).

Web Preferences Settings

These settings override the defaults for this web only. See full list of defaults with explanation.

  • Web Settings:
    • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFEC20
    • Set SITEMAPWHAT = Sandbox test area with all features enabled.
    • Set SITEMAPUSETO = ...experiment in an unrestricted hands-on web.
    • Set SITEMAPLIST = on

  • Default template for new topics for this web:
    • WebTopicEditTemplate: Default template for new topics in this web. (Site-level is used if topic does not exist)
    • TWiki.WebTopicEditTemplate: Site-level default topic template

  • Comma separated list of forms that can be attached to topics in this web. See TWiki.TWikiForms for more information.
  • Set WEBFORMS = Main.GraduateForm, Main.PersonForm, Main.StaffForm

  • Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the Sandbox web: (See TWiki.TWikiAccessControl). Remove the # to enable any of these settings. Remember that an empty setting is a valid setting; setting DENYWEBVIEW to nothing means that anyone can view the web.
    • Set DENYWEBVIEW =
    • Set ALLOWWEBVIEW =
    • Set DENYWEBCHANGE =
    • Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = ElvisGroup
    • Set DENYWEBRENAME =
    • Set ALLOWWEBRENAME =

  • Users or groups allowed to change or rename this WebPreferences topic: (e.g., Main.TWikiAdminGroup)
    • Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = Main.TWikiAdminGroup
    • Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = Main.TWikiAdminGroup

  • Web preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by user or topic preferences:
    • Set FINALPREFERENCES = NOSEARCHALL, ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, WIKIWEBMASTER, WEBCOPYRIGHT, WEBTOPICLIST, DENYWEBVIEW, ALLOWWEBVIEW, DENYWEBCHANGE, ALLOWWEBCHANGE, DENYWEBRENAME, ALLOWWEBRENAME

Help on Preferences

  • A preference setting is defined by:
    3 or 6 spaces * Set NAME = value
    Example:
    • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
  • A preferences setting can be disabled with a # sign. Remove the # sign to enable a local customisation. Example:
    • #Set DENYWEBCHANGE = Main.UnknownUser
  • Preferences are used as TWiki.TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
    • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #FFEC20
  • 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 your own preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates.
