TWiki Links

The following settings are web preferences of the kyma•tweaky.How web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in TWikiPreferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, i.e. TWikiGuest in the kyma•tweaky.User web)

Preferences:

• List of topics of the kyma•tweaky.How web:
  • Set WEBTOPICLIST = Readme | Changes | Index | Search | Go

• • Set WEBNAVLINKS = How do I...
    Add a question...
    

    ---

    Home 
    Topics 
    More... 
    

• Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the StandardColors)
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #BADBEE

• List this web in the SiteMap:
  • If yes, Set SITEMAPLIST = on, 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. How.Topic links.
  • Set SITEMAPLIST = on
  • Set SITEMAPWHAT = Knowledge base of sound design tips and techniques
  • Set SITEMAPUSETO = ...discuss how to accomplish specific tasks in Kyma

• Exclude web from a web="all" search: (Set to on for hidden webs)
  • Set NOSEARCHALL = on

• Default template for new topics and form(s) 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 template
  • TWikiForms: How to enable form(s)
  • Set WEBFORMS = WEBFORM

• Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the How web: (See TWikiAccessControl)
  • Set DENYWEBVIEW =
  • Set ALLOWWEBVIEW =
  • Set DENYWEBCHANGE =
  • Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = KymaUsersGroup, KymaStudentsGroup
  • Set DENYWEBRENAME =
  • Set ALLOWWEBRENAME = KymaUsersGroup, KymaStudentsGroup

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

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

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 #BADBEE.
• 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 preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the kyma•tweaky engine (Perl scripts).
