WAPAWeb.Wapa Web Preferences

The following settings are web preferences of the WAPAWeb.Wapa 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 WAPAWeb.Main web)

Preferences:

  • #Set BROADCASTMESSAGE = ALERT! Worcester Airport Reopens ORH reopened for fixed wing traffic Thursday

  • List of topics of the WAPAWeb.Wapa web:

  • Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the StandardColors)
    • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #4444FF

  • Image, URL and alternate tooltip text of Foswiki logo: (can be overwritten by web preferences)
    • #Set WEBLOGOIMG = /pub/Main/WebPreferences/wapahead_40.gif
    • #Set WEBLOGOURL = http://worcesterapa.org/
    • #Set WEBLOGOALT = WAPA Home
    • #Set WEBHEADERART = /pub/Wapa/WebPreferences/wapatop2.gif

  • List this web in the SiteMap:
    • 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. Wapa.Topic links.
    • Set SITEMAPLIST = on
    • Set SITEMAPWHAT = Worcester Area Pilots Association
    • Set SITEMAPUSETO = …collaborate on All things Aviation

  • 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:

  • Users or groups who are not / are allowed to view / change / rename topics in the Wapa web: (See AccessControl)
    • Set DENYWEBVIEW =
    • Set ALLOWWEBVIEW = *
    • Set DENYWEBCHANGE =
    • Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = WapaGroup
    • Set DENYWEBRENAME =
    • Set ALLOWWEBRENAME = WapaGroup

  • Users or groups allowed to change or rename this WebPreferences topic: (I.e. AdminGroup)
  • Set FPLIM = 9
  • 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:
    6 spaces * Set NAME = value
    Example:
    • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
  • Preferences are used as Macros by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
    • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #4444FF .
  • 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 WAPAWeb engine (Perl scripts).
Related Topics:
  • DefaultPreferences has site-level preferences.
  • WikiUsers has a list of user topics. User topics can have optional user preferences.
  • Macros has a list of common %VARIABLES%.
  • AccessControl explains how to restrict access by users or groups.
