< | The following are site-level settings that affect all users in all webs on this TWikiSite. They can be selectively overwritten on the individual web level (see WebPreferences in each web), topic level (the topic being rendered), and on the user level (create preferences in your user account topic in the Main web, ex: TWikiGuest).
-
 NOTE: You can lock individual settings at the site or web levels using User & Group Access Control - see section below.
|
>
> | This topic defines site-level settings that apply to all users and webs on this TWikiSite.
Note: This topic should be regarded as read-only, so that upgrades can safely overwrite it without risk to your customizations.
Preference settings local to your site should be set in Main.TWikiPreferences (this topic is pointed to by {LocalSitePreferences}, which is set by the admin in the configure interface). Settings in Main.TWikiPreferences will override settings in this topic, and should be used for defining custom settings and variables. |

- 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. If the WysiwygPlugin is installed and it is set to 'kupu' (the default), then the Kupu WYSIWYG editor will be enabled. You can change the setting to use any editor that is enabled by setting the cover parameter on the edit URL.

- Mail host for outgoing mail. This is used for WebChangesAlert if Perl module
Net::SMTP is installed. If not, or if SMTPMAILHOST is empty, the external sendmail program is used instead (defined by $mailProgram in TWiki.cfg). Examples: mail.your.company or localhost
- Mail domain sending mail. SMTP requires that you identify the TWiki server sending mail. If not set,
Net::SMTP will guess it for you. Ex: twiki.your.company
- Proxy Server. Some environments require outbound HTTP traffic to go through a proxy server. Set the host in PROXYHOST (example:
proxy.your.company), and the port number in PROXYPORT (example: 8080). No proxy is used if PROXYHOST or PROXYPORT is empty.

- TWikiPlugins configuration: All plugin modules that exist in the
lib/TWiki/Plugins directory are activated automatically unless disabled by DISABLEDPLUGINS. You can optionally list the installed plugins in INSTALLEDPLUGINS. This is useful to define the sequence of plugin execution, or to specify other webs then the TWiki web for the plugin topics. Specify plugins as a comma separated list of topics.
- Set INSTALLEDPLUGINS = DefaultPlugin? , SpreadSheetPlugin
- Set DISABLEDPLUGINS = EmptyPlugin
- Currently activated plugins: SpreadSheetPlugin, ActionTrackerPlugin, AttachmentListPlugin, BreadCrumbsPlugin, CalendarPlugin, CommentPlugin, CompareRevisionsAddonPlugin, EditTablePlugin, FilterPlugin, FlexWebListPlugin, FootNotePlugin, GluePlugin, IfDefinedPlugin, InterwikiPlugin, JQueryPlugin, NatSkinPlugin, PreferencesPlugin, RedDotPlugin, RenderListPlugin, SlideShowPlugin, SmiliesPlugin, TablePlugin, TreeBrowserPlugin, TreePlugin, TwistyPlugin, VotePlugin, WysiwygPlugin
- NOTE: You can enable/disable all plugins with the
$disableAllPlugins flag in the lib/TWiki.cfg file.

- You can enable/disable Plugins using the configure interface.
- Currently activated Plugins: SpreadSheetPlugin, ActionTrackerPlugin, AttachmentListPlugin, BreadCrumbsPlugin, CalendarPlugin, CommentPlugin, CompareRevisionsAddonPlugin, EditTablePlugin, FilterPlugin, FlexWebListPlugin, FootNotePlugin, GluePlugin, IfDefinedPlugin, InterwikiPlugin, JQueryPlugin, NatSkinPlugin, PreferencesPlugin, RedDotPlugin, RenderListPlugin, SlideShowPlugin, SmiliesPlugin, TablePlugin, TreeBrowserPlugin, TreePlugin, TwistyPlugin, VotePlugin, WysiwygPlugin
- NOTE: You can enable/disable Plugins by passing a comma-separated list of Plugin names in the
debugenableplugins url parameter; for example, http://moglen.law.columbia.edu/twiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiPreferences?debugenableplugins=SmiliesPlugin will display this topic with all Plugins disabled except the SmiliesPlugin.
- Detailed diagnostics can be found in InstalledPlugins
- Legacy settings:
- Set DISABLEDPLUGINS = The DISABLEDPLUGINS variable is no longer supported
- Set INSTALLEDPLUGINS = The INSTALLEDPLUGINS variable is no longer supported. You can set the Plugins execution order using the configure interface.

- Allow topic level preferences, on or off: If set to
on, topic preferences will be read, and will override any web- or site-level preferences not set as FINALPREFERENCES. By default, user preferences will override topic preferences.
- Topic level overrides user level preferences, on or off: If set to
on, topic preferences will override user preferences. The user can in turn override this behavior by setting further FINALPREFERENCES in his or her user topic.
- Set TOPICOVERRIDESUSER = off
- Site-level preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by WebPreferences and user preferences:
- Set FINALPREFERENCES = ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, PREVIEWBGIMAGE, WIKITOOLNAME, WIKIWEBMASTER, SMTPMAILHOST, SMTPSENDERHOST, ALLOWWEBMANAGE, READTOPICPREFS, TOPICOVERRIDESUSER

| | 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). |
| |
- 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 webmaster email 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.
