GSI Wiki.Java Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the GSI Wiki.Java web. These preferences overwrite the site-level preferences in DefaultPreferences, and can be overwritten by user preferences (your personal topic, i.e. WikiGuest in the GSI Wiki.Main web)

Preferences:

• List of topics of the GSI Wiki.Java web:
  • Set WEBTOPICLIST =

• Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the StandardColors)
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #9999FF
  • Set WIKILOGOIMG = /pub/Java/WebPreferences/java-logo.png

• List this web in the 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. Java.Topic links.
  • Set SITEMAPLIST = on
  • Set SITEMAPWHAT = Java introduction
  • Set SITEMAPUSETO = create a repository for introductory java documentation

• 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)
  • WebTopicEditTemplate: Site-level default template
  • DataForms: How to enable form(s)
  • Set WEBFORMS = WebForm

• Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the Java web: (See AccessControl)
  • 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. AdminGroup)
  • Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = AdminGroup
  • Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = AdminGroup

• 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 System.Macros by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR%, it gets expanded to #9999FF.
• 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 GSI Wiki engine (Perl scripts).
