- 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.
- Prevent automatic linking of WikiWords and acronyms (if set to
on); link WikiWords (if empty); can be overwritten by web preferences:
- Set NOAUTOLINK = off
- 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.
- Warn if
%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 %INCLUDE{}% :
Default User Settings
NOTE: They are typically redefined in topics of individual TWikiUsers
- Show tool-tip topic info on mouse-over of WikiWord links. Setting can be on, off, or customized. An empty setting or off setting disables the tool-tips (for better performance). The setting can contain $summary to show the topic summary, $date for the last change date, $rev for the revision, $username for the login name of the last editor, $wikiname for the WikiName, $wikiusername for Main.WikiName, $topic for the topic name, and $web for the web name

- Some skins have two editors available; the default editor, and a second editor which is usually a WYSIWYG editor (the second editor is used by hitting the WYSIWYG link in
pattern or classic skins). If COMPOSER is not set, the second editor will work the same as the default editor.

- Format of file link when the link check box is checked: (can be overwritten by user preferences)
-
NOTE: Keyword $name gets expanded to filename; $comment to comment; \t to tab (3 spaces for bullets).
* Set ATTACHEDFILELINKFORMAT = \n * [[%ATTACHURL%/$name][$name]]: $comment
- Format of images when the link check box is checked: (can be overwritten by user preferences)

Access Control Settings
- Users or groups allowed to change or rename this TWikiPreferences topic:
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
Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces):
- 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. For example, set
WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since the copyright notice uses the TWiki administrator e-mail address.
- In order to protect your custom variables from being overwritten when upgrading the TWiki.TWikiPreferences topic, it is recommended that custom variables are defined in Main.TWikiPreferences.
