I just changed the WIKITOOLNAME on the global [[TWiki/TWikiPreferences]] page. Hmmm. I hope this doesn't screw up anything! I think it looks great on the upper left of every page. + +-- [[Main/GrantBow]] - 05 Jan 2003 + +It looks great! There are still a lot of things that I need to learn about regarding TWiki, but it's real fun so from here on I'll consider it an educating "ride". + +There where some other minor side effects caused by your change, for insance, take a look at: + +* [[Main/WebHome]] +* [[TWiki/TWikiRegistration]] + +put the <code>**?raw=on**</code> after the URL in the location bar in your browser to see what I mean.

Hmmm, in thinking about upgrading to the next release, the process to move from a TWiki Alpha release to a TWiki Beta release is to take a CVS checkout and then add (after processing by a special script I think) the Main and TWiki webs from the twiki.org site. If that's the case our customizations we do in these two "webs" might get blown away. Well, this isn't a problem right now but it may become an issue if we want to upgrade our installation. Just a relatively advanced TWiki admin thought to keep in mind. + +I'm glad nothing broke horribly when making the change! + +I know when Peter sees this he might not like it very much, but I think the toolname should be customized per site. It's negative for the TWiki marketing intent, but very positive for personalized site usage, pride of ownership and buy-in to see a familiar name there. Honestly, I kind of get sick seeing the TWiki name plastered all over the code and the configurations. This feels so much nicer now. It's hard to convey the feeling accurately. + +-- [[Main/GrantBow]] - 09 Jan 2003 |
