*%WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% Web Preferences*

The following settings are __web preferences__ of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web. These preferences overwrite the __site-level preferences__ in %TWIKIWEB%.%WIKIPREFSTOPIC%, and can be overwritten by __user preferences__ (your personal topic, i.e. %MAINWEB%.TWikiGuest in the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%MAINWEB% web)


__Preferences:__

   * List of topics of the %WIKITOOLNAME%.%WEB% web:
      * Set WEBTOPICLIST = %WEB% . {
            [[%HOMETOPIC%][Home]]
          | [[%WIKIUSERSTOPIC%][Users]]
          | [[TWikiGroups][Groups]]
          | [[OfficeLocations][Offices]]
          | [[WebChanges][Changes]]
          | [[WebIndex][Index]]
          | [[WebSearch][Search]]
          | Go <input type="text" name="topic" size="16" />
        }

   * Web specific background color: (Pick a lighter one of the %TWIKIWEB%.StandardColors)
      * Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0

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

   * Users or groups who __are not__ / __are__ allowed to change topics in the %WEB% web: (See %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiAccessControl)
      * Set DENYWEBCHANGE = 
      * Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE = 

   * Users or groups allowed to change this <nop>%TOPIC% topic: (I.e. %MAINWEB%.TWikiAdminGroup)
      * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = 

   * Web preferences that are *not* allowed to be overridden by user preferences:
      * Set FINALPREFERENCES = WEBTOPICLIST, DENYWEBVIEW, ALLOWWEBVIEW, DENYWEBCHANGE, ALLOWWEBCHANGE

__Notes:__
   * A preference is defined as: <br /> =6 spaces * Set NAME = value= <br /> Example:
      * 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%= .
   * The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set =<nop>WEBCOPYRIGHT= before =<nop>WIKIWEBMASTER= since =%<nop>WEBCOPYRIGHT%= uses the =%<nop>WIKIWEBMASTER%= variable.
   * You can introduce new preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the %WIKITOOLNAME% engine (Perl scripts).
