Sandbox/Sandtub Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the Sandbox.Sandtub web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in %TWIKIWEB%.DefaultPreferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, eg: TWikiGuest? in the Main web).

Preferences:

• List of topics of the DBG/400.Sandbox/Sandtub web:
  • Set WEBTOPICLIST = Changes  |  Index  |  Search  |  Go

• Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the %TWIKIWEB%.StandardColors)
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #B9DAFF

• List this web in the %TWIKIWEB%.SiteMap:
  • If yes, Set SITEMAPLIST = on, 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. Sandbox/Sandtub.Topic links.
  • Set SITEMAPLIST = on
  • Set SITEMAPWHAT = Sandbox test area with all features enabled.
  • Set SITEMAPUSETO = ...experiment in an unrestricted hands-on web.

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

• Prevent automatic linking of WikiWords? and acronyms (if set to on); link WikiWords (if empty); can be overwritten by web preferences:
  • Set NOAUTOLINK =
  • Note: Use the [[...][...]] syntax to link topics in case you disabled WikiWord linking. The <noautolink> ... </noautolink> syntax can be used to prevents links within a block of text.

• 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)
  • %TWIKIWEB%.WebTopicEditTemplate?: Site-level default template
  • %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiForms: How to enable form(s)
  • Set WEBFORMS =

• Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the Sandbox/Sandtub 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 WebPreferences topic: (I.e. TWikiAdminGroup?)
  • Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE =
  • Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = TWikiAdminGroup?

• Web preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by user preferences:
  • Set FINALPREFERENCES = NOSEARCHALL, ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, WIKIWEBMASTER, WEBCOPYRIGHT, WEBTOPICLIST, DENYWEBVIEW, ALLOWWEBVIEW, DENYWEBCHANGE, ALLOWWEBCHANGE, DENYWEBRENAME, ALLOWWEBRENAME

Notes:

• A preference is defined as:
  6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
• Preferences are used as %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #B9DAFF .
• 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 DBG/400 engine (Perl scripts).
