Difference: WebPreferences (r3 vs. r2)

Foswiki.Main Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the Foswiki.Main web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in DefaultPreferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, i.e. WikiGuest in the Foswiki.Main web)

Preferences:

• List of topics of the Foswiki.Main web:
  • Set WEBTOPICLIST = Main . { Home | Users | Offices | Changes | Index | Search | Go }

• Web specific background color:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0

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

Notes:

• A preference is defined as:
  6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
• Preferences are used as Macros by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #FFEFA6 .
• 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 Foswiki engine (Perl scripts).
