UCM Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the UCM web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in Default Preferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, eg: TWiki Guest in the Main web).

Preferences:

• Corner logo preferences
  • Set WIKILOGOIMG =
  • Set WIKILOGOURL = Web Home
  • Set WIKILOGOALT = UCM User Group Home
• List of topics of the Foswiki.UCM web:
  • Set WEBTOPICLIST = Changes  |  Index  |  Search  |  Go

• Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the Standard Colors)
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #D0D0D0

• List this web in the Site Map:
  • 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. UCM.Topic links.
  • Set SITEMAPLIST = on
  • Set SITEMAPWHAT = Use Case Map User Group
  • Set SITEMAPUSETO = ...collaborate on the User Requirements Notation, Use Case Maps, and UCMNav

• 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:
  • Web Topic Edit Template?: Default template for new topics in this web. (Site-level is used if topic does not exist)
  • TWiki.Web Topic Edit Template: Site-level default template
  • TWiki Forms?: How to enable form(s)
  • Set WEBFORMS = Form For Req?, Form For Change Req?

• Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the UCM web: (See TWiki Access Control?)
  • 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. TWiki Admin Group)
  • Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE =
  • Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = TWiki Admin Group

• 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 TWiki Variables? by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #D0D0D0 .
• 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).
