---+!! <nop>%WIKITOOLNAME% Site-Level Preferences

This topic defines *site-level* settings that apply to all users and webs on this site.

*%X% 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 [[%LOCALSITEPREFS%]] (this topic is pointed to by {LocalSitePreferences}, which is set by the admin in the [[%SCRIPTURLPATH{"configure"}%][configure]] interface). Settings in [[%LOCALSITEPREFS%]] will override settings in this topic, and should be used for defining custom settings.

[[Macros#SettingPrefs][Read more]] on how to set preferences.

#DefaultWebPreferences
---++ Default Web Preferences

%X% *NOTE:* These are just defaults; don't change them here. Instead, add them to the !WebPreferences topic in each web

   * List of selected topics in a web (used in menus) 
      * Set WEBTOPICLIST = [[WebChanges][Changes]] %SEP% [[WebIndex][Index]] %SEP% [[WebSearch][Search]] %SEP% Go <input type="text" name="topic" size="16" />

   * Web-specific background color: (is overwritten by web preferences) 
      * Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFD8AA

   * [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon][favicon]]: Attach a =favicon.ico= to a web's WebPreferences or add a =FAVICON= setting to WebPreferences 
      * Set FAVICON = %PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/ProjectLogos/favicon.ico-disabled

   * Image, URL and alternate tooltip text of web's logo. 
      * Set WEBLOGOIMG = /foswiki/pub/STALklubben/WebPreferences/logo.png 
      * Set WEBLOGOURL = %WIKILOGOURL%
      * Set WEBLOGOALT = %WIKILOGOALT%

   * List this web in the %SYSTEMWEB%.SiteMap: 
      * If yes, set SITEMAPLIST to =on=, do not set NOSEARCHALL, 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. <nop>%WEB%.Topic links.
      * Set SITEMAPLIST = on
      * Set SITEMAPWHAT = Describe what this web does.
      * Set SITEMAPUSETO = ...to do something.

   * Copyright notice: 
      * Set WEBCOPYRIGHT = <span class="foswikiRight"> <a href="http://foswiki.org/"><img src="%PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/ProjectLogos/foswiki-badge.gif" alt="%MAKETEXT{"This site is powered by Foswiki"}%" title="%MAKETEXT{"This site is powered by Foswiki"}%" border="0" /></a></span>%MAKETEXT{"Copyright &© by the contributing authors. All material on this collaboration platform is the property of the contributing authors." args="1999-%GMTIME{$year}%"}% <br /> %MAKETEXT{"Ideas, requests, problems regarding [_1]? <a href='[_2]'>Send feedback</a>" args="<nop>%WIKITOOLNAME%,mailto:%WIKIWEBMASTER%?subject=%WIKITOOLNAME%%20Feedback%20on%20%BASEWEB%.%BASETOPIC%"}%

   * Simplified Copyright notice for the WebRss feed (don't use any special characters, html tags, entities, wiki markup or WikiWords) 
      * Set WEBRSSCOPYRIGHT = Copyright %GMTIME{"$year"}% by contributing authors

   * 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 [[AccessControl][AccessControls]] 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. 
      * Set NOSEARCHALL = 
   * Prevent automatic linking of [[%SYSTEMWEB%.WikiWords][WikiWords]] and acronyms (if set to =on=); link <nop>WikiWords (if empty); can be overwritten by web preferences: 
      * Set NOAUTOLINK = 
      * *Note:* Use the =[<nop>[...][...]]= syntax to link topics in case you disabled <nop>WikiWord linking. The =&lt;noautolink&gt; ... &lt;/noautolink&gt;= syntax can be used to prevents links within a block of text.
   * If you use non !WikiWords for topic names (for example "Expenses" or "Mighty1") and if you use bracket notation to link to those topics, it is useful to *turn of all warnings* (like: "WARNING: This topic name is not recommended because it will not be linked automatically") and checkboxes ("Allow non !WikiWord for the new topic name"). Can be overwritten by web preferences. Set to =on= to activate: 
      * Set HIDE_NON_WIKI_WORD_WARNINGS = 

   * Warn if =%<nop>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 =%<nop>INCLUDE{}%= : 
      * Set INCLUDEWARNING = on

   * Generated Table of Contents (TOC) settings 
      * The first header level to appear in the TOC: 
         * Set TOC_MIN_DEPTH =   
            * If not set: =1=
            * Possible values: =1= to =6=
      * The last header level to appear in the TOC: 
         * Set TOC_MAX_DEPTH =   
            * If not set: =6=
            * Possible values: =1= to =6=
            * Can be overridden by =depth= parameter of [[%SYSTEMWEB%.VarTOC][TOC]]
      * The default TOC title: 
         * Set TOC_TITLE =   
            * If not set: nothing
            * Possible values: any string, for example =On this page:=
            * Can be overridden by =title= parameter of [[%SYSTEMWEB%.VarTOC][TOC]]
      * Do not show a TOC if the topic it contains is included in another topic: 
         * Set TOC_HIDE_IF_INCLUDED =   
            * If not set: included TOC is shown
            * Possible values: =on= or nothing

---++ Default User Settings

%X% *NOTE:* They are typically redefined in topics of individual %USERSWEB%.WikiUsers

   * 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 <nop>WikiName, $wikiusername for <nop>%USERSWEB%.WikiName, $topic for the topic name, and $web for the web name 
      * Set LINKTOOLTIPINFO = off
      * #Set LINKTOOLTIPINFO = $username - $date - r$rev: $summary 
         * This is exactly equivalent to:

      * Set EDITBOXWIDTH = 70

   * Vertical size of text edit box: (can be overwritten by user preferences)

      * Set EDITBOXSTYLE = width:99%

   * Work-around for sluggish/erratic wikitext editing in Internet Explorer 8. When this browser is in standards mode, at least some versions suffer sluggish response to keystrokes and erratic scrolling. For skins that are aware of it, this setting forces IE8 into compatibility mode for the edit template only. 
      * Set EDIT_FORCE_IE8_COMPATIBILITYMODE = on

   * Default state of the *Force New Revision* (ForceNewRevision) check box in preview. Check box is initially checked if =Set FORCENEWREVISIONCHECKBOX = checked="checked"=, or unchecked if empty: (can be overwritten by user preferences)

   * Default state of the *Minor Changes, Don't Notify* (DontNotify) check box in preview. Check box is initially checked if =Set DONTNOTIFYCHECKBOX = checked="checked"=, or unchecked if empty: (can be overwritten by user preferences) 
      * Set DONTNOTIFYCHECKBOX = 

   * Default state of the *link* check box in the attach file page. Checkbox is initially checked if =Set ATTACHLINKBOX = checked="checked"=, or unchecked if empty ( =Set ATTACHLINKBOX ==). If checked, a link is created to the attached file at the end of the topic: (can be overwritten by user preferences) 
      * Set ATTACHLINKBOX = 

   * Format of file link when the *link* check box is checked: (can be overwritten by user preferences) 
      * %H% *NOTE:* Keyword ==$name== gets expanded to filename; ==$comment== to comment; ==\t== to tab (3 spaces for bullets).
<!-- verbatim tag required to prevent error in Apache log; does not suppress Set --> <verbatim>
      * Set ATTACHEDFILELINKFORMAT = \n   * [[%ATTACHURL%/$name][$name]]: $comment
</verbatim>

   * Format of images when the *link* check box is checked: (can be overwritten by user preferences) 
      * %H% *NOTE:* Keyword ==$name== gets expanded to filename; ==$comment== to comment; ==$size== to ==width="..." height="..."== attribute of ==img== tag; ==\t== to tab and ==\n== to linefeed (3 spaces for bullets).
<verbatim>
      * Set ATTACHEDIMAGEFORMAT = \n   * $comment: <br />\n     <img src="%ATTACHURLPATH%/$name" alt="$name" $size />

---++ Miscellaneous Settings

   * Format of a NewWikiWord link:
   * Note that =$text= is the topic link text, =$topic= is the name of the new topic, and =$web= is the name of the web for the new topic. Values for the 3 are taken from the link syntax =[<nop>[$web.$topic][$text]]=. For normal plain !WikiWord links =$text= and =$topic= are the same.

      * default setting: 
         * Set NEWLINKFORMAT = <span class="foswikiNewLink">$text<a href="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"edit"}%/$web/$topic?topicparent=%WEB%.%TOPIC%" rel="nofollow" title="%MAKETEXT{"Create this topic"}%">?</a></span>
      * alternative setting: 
         * #Set NEWLINKFORMAT = <a class="foswikiNewLink" href="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"edit"}%/$web/$topic?topicparent=%WEB%.%TOPIC%" rel="nofollow" title="%MAKETEXT{"Create this topic"}%">$text</a>

   * %SYSTEMWEB%.PreviewBackground image: 
      * Set PREVIEWBGIMAGE = %PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/PreviewBackground/preview2bg.gif

   * User-friendly synonyms for system webs 
      * Set DOCWEB = %SYSTEMWEB%

   * show extra help for !ApacheLogin users for Main.AdminUser login 
      * Set ADMINLOGIN = %IF{"{LoginManager} = 'Foswiki::LoginManager::ApacheLogin' AND NOT context authenticated"
        then="Foswiki is configured using <nop>ApacheLogin, please [[%LOGINURL%][login]] as a normal user first. Then the Admin Login will replace this text"
        else="[[%SCRIPTURL{login}%?sudo=sudo;origurl=%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%BASEWEB%/%BASETOPIC%][internal admin login]] (use the username suggested and the password set in configure)."}%

---++ Access Control Settings

   * No-one (except admins) should change this topic 
      * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = %USERSWEB%.AdminGroup
      * Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = %USERSWEB%.AdminGroup

---++ Creating New Preference Settings

You can introduce new [[PreferenceSettings][preference settings]] and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the Foswiki engine (Perl scripts).
   * A preference is defined in a ShortHand bullet item: ==[3 spaces] * [space] Set NAME = value== <br /> Example (as a nested bullet item, indented 6 spaces): 
      * S<nop>et WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
   * Preferences are used as [[%SYSTEMWEB%.Macros][Macros]] by enclosing the name in percent signs: ==%==. Example: 
      * When you write ==%WEB<nop>BGCOLOR%==, it gets expanded to =%WEBBGCOLOR%= .

   * %X% The sequential order of the [[PreferenceSettings][preference settings]] is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences FIRST. For example, set ==<nop>WEBCOPYRIGHT== before ==<nop>WIKIWEBMASTER== since the copyright notice uses the Wiki administrator e-mail address.
   * %X% In order to protect your custom preferences from being overwritten when upgrading the [[%SYSTEMWEB%.%TOPIC%]] topic, it is recommended that all custom settings are defined in [[%USERSWEB%.%TOPIC%]].

---++ Protected System Settings

The following macros are declared final to protect them as read only. These are system macros that should never be attempted set or altered in any preference topic or topic settings.

   * Set FINALPREFERENCES = WEB, TOPIC

---++ Related Topics

   * %WEBPREFSTOPIC% has preferences of the <nop>%WEB% web.
   * User topics in %USERSWEB% can have optional user preferences.
   * [[%SYSTEMWEB%.Macros][Macros]] has a list of common =%<nop>MACROS%=.
   * %SYSTEMWEB%.AccessControl explains how to restrict access by users or groups.
   * Foswiki:Extensions.PreferencesPlugin makes editing preferences a snap.
