There is no need to change the TWiki engine (Perl scripts). * A preference is defined in a TWikiShorthand 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 %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs: ==%==. Example: * When you write variable ==%WEB<nop>BGCOLOR%==, it gets expanded to =%WEBBGCOLOR%= . * %X% The sequential order of the 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 webmaster email address. ---++ Related Topics * %WEBPREFSTOPIC% has preferences of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web. * %MAINWEB%.%WIKIUSERSTOPIC% has a list of user topics. User topics can have optional user preferences. * %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiVariables has a list of common =%<nop>VARIABLES%=. * %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiAccessControl explains how to restrict access by users or groups. __Note__: Can't edit?
