## <a name="_WIKITOOLNAME_WEB_Web_Preference"> %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% Web Preferences </a> The following settings are **_web preferences_** of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web. These preferences overwrite the **_site-level preferences_** in %TWIKIWEB%.%WIKIPREFSTOPIC%, and can be overwritten by **_user preferences_** (your personal topic, i.e. %MAINWEB%.TWikiGuest in the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%MAINWEB% web) **_Preferences:_** * List of topics of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web: * Set WEBTOPICLIST = [[WebPreferences]] | [[WebChanges]] | [[WebIndex]] | [[WebSearch]] | Go <input name="topic" size="16" type="text" /> * Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the %TWIKIWEB%.StandardColors) * Old setting Set WEBBGCOLOR = #D0D0D0, #EEEEEE is not in 256 color palette either. * Set WEBBGCOLOR = #CCCCCC * Exclude web from a `web="all"` search: (Set to `on` for hidden webs) * Set NOSEARCHALL = * Default template for new topics and form(s) for this web: * [[WebTopicEditTemplate]]: Default template for new topics in this web. (Site-level is used if topic does not exist) * [[TWIKIWEBWebTopicEditTemplate]]: Site-level default template * %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiForms: How to enable form(s) * Set WEBFORMS = [[HurdReleaseForm]], [[KnownLimitForm]] * Users or groups who **_are not_** / **_are_** allowed to **_view_** / **_change_** / **_rename_** topics in the %WEB% web: (See %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiAccessControl) * Set DENYWEBVIEW = * Set ALLOWWEBVIEW = * Set DENYWEBCHANGE = * Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = * Set DENYWEBRENAME = * Set ALLOWWEBRENAME = * Users or groups allowed to change or rename this %TOPIC% topic: (I.e. %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup) * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup * Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup * Web preferences that are **not** allowed to be overridden by user preferences: * Set FINALPREFERENCES = WEBTOPICLIST, DENYWEBVIEW, ALLOWWEBVIEW, DENYWEBCHANGE, ALLOWWEBCHANGE, DENYWEBRENAME, ALLOWWEBRENAME **_Notes:_** * A preference is defined as: <br />`6 spaces * Set NAME = value`<br /> Example: * Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0 * Preferences are used as %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example: * When you write variable <code>%WEBBGCOLOR%</code> , it gets expanded to `%WEBBGCOLOR%` . * The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set <code>WEBCOPYRIGHT</code> before <code>WIKIWEBMASTER</code> since <code>%WEBCOPYRIGHT%</code> uses the <code>%WIKIWEBMASTER%</code> variable. * You can introduce new preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the %WIKITOOLNAME% engine (Perl scripts). **_Related Topics:_** * %TWIKIWEB%.%WIKIPREFSTOPIC% has site-level preferences. * %MAINWEB%.%WIKIUSERSTOPIC% has a list of user topics. User topics can have optional user preferences. * %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables has a list of common <code>%VARIABLES%</code>. * %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiAccessControl explains how to restrict access by users or groups.
