There are other settings to be made in TWikiPreferences , e.g. the =WIKIWEBMASTER= and (probably) the =SMTPSENDERHOST= (normally your mail server or TWiki server). See the TWikiInstallationGuide for more details, what's listed here is just enough to let you run the basic tests.
* Edit a page, and register as a new user - tests page creation, use of =register= script to create a new user entry in =/twiki/data/.htpasswd= (the Apache password file), ability to send email via Net::SMTP, and whether =SMTPMAILHOST= was set correctly in TWikiPreferences .
 
TWikiHistory 02 Feb 2003 - 01:31 - r1.61   Main.PeterThoeny
* New TWikiPreferences  variables =%<nop>HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEW%= , =%<nop>HTTP_EQUIV_ON_EDIT%= and =%<nop>HTTP_EQUIV_ON_PREVIEW%= that define the =<meta http-equiv="...">= meta tags for the TWiki templates. This can be used for example to set a document expiration time.
* Edit preferences topics to set TWiki variables. There are three level of preferences Site-level (TWikiPreferences ), web-level (WebPreferences in each web) and user-level preferences (for each of the Main.TWikiUsers). With this, discontinue use of server side include of =wikiwebs.inc= , =wikiwebtable.inc= , =weblist.inc= , =webcopyright.inc= and =webcolors.inc= files.
 
TWikiInstallationGuide 02 Feb 2003 - 01:29 - r1.53   Main.PeterThoeny
* From your web browser, edit the TWikiPreferences  topic in the TWiki:TWiki web to set the =WIKIWEBMASTER= email address, and other email settings required for registration and WebChangesAlert to work:
* You may want to set up other TWikiPreferences  later on.
* You can add new =%<nop>VARIABLES%=. Define site-level variables in the TWikiPreferences  topic. See also: TWikiVariables.
* Edit the TWikiPreferences  topic in the TWiki:TWiki web to set access privileges.
 
TWikiUpgradeGuide 02 Feb 2003 - 00:06 - r1.3   Main.PeterThoeny
* Rename in the temporary directory the file =$TWIKIROOT/data/TWiki/TWikiPreferences .*= to =TWikiPreferencesSave.*=.
* Merge your original =TWikiPreferencesSave.txt= settings into =$TWIKIROOT/data/TWiki/TWikiPreferences .txt=.

Check on current Plugin status and settings for this site in TWikiPreferences .

Without getting into the TWikiTemplates system yet, you can easily edit the ==view.tmpl== (in the =templates= directory). In the HTML at the top, the body tag has the page background hardcoded to white ==bgcolor="#ffffff"==. You can change that color value to new variable. First, define a new preferences variable in the site-level TWikiPreferences , e.g. =* Set =PAGEBGCOLOR = #d0d0d0=, then edit the ==view.tmpl== template file and change ==bgcolor="#ffffff"== to ==bgcolor="%<nop>PAGEBGCOLOR%"==. If you want you can set the page background color individualy per web, simple add a =* Set =PAGEBGCOLOR = #d0d0d0= bullet to the WebPreferences to overload the site-level preferences. (Without font color control, you'll have to stick to light colors.
This should be enabled, see the "Miscellaneous Settings" in the TWikiPreferences , . If not, look at TWiki:TWiki/TWikiPreferences . Look for variables RED, BLUE etc (which define HTML tag FONT). To copy/paste the variables defining the colors you need to see the source text, but =Edit= is disabled. Instead, go to =More= and view the topic in ==raw== format.
1 Go to the ==Preferences== topic: TWikiPreferences  for site-wide use, or WebPreferences for use in one web only.
For example, you may want to put all your custom variables in TWikiPreferences  right on top of the page, and generate table of contens, like:
The size of Robot icon is 46x50 pixels - there are countless 48x48 standard-sized, free-use grapics if you're stuck. Here are some decent places to look. Attach the new graphic to TWikiPreferences , and change the WIKILOGOIMG variable.
 
TWikiSiteTools 30 Jan 2003 - 07:43 - r1.7   Main.PeterThoeny
TWiki will use the ==Net::SMTP== module if it is installed on your system. Set this with the ==SMTPMAILHOST== variable in TWikiPreferences .
The notify e-mail uses the default =changes.tmpl= template, or a skin if activated in the TWikiPreferences .
* HELP Net::SMTP can be easily disabled (ex: if there is an installation error) by setting ==SMTPMAILHOST== in TWikiPreferences  to an empty value.
 
TWikiPlugins 29 Jan 2003 - 07:21 - r1.21   Main.PeterThoeny
Installed Plugins can be *toggled on or off*, site-wide or by web, through <nop>TWikiPreferences  and individual <nop>WebPreferences:
* All Plugin modules present in the =lib/TWiki/Plugins= directory are activated automatically unless disabled by the =DISABLEDPLUGINS= Preferences variable in <nop>TWikiPreferences . You can optionally list the installed Plugins in the =INSTALLEDPLUGINS= Preferences variable. This is useful to define the sequence of Plugin execution, or to specify other webs than the TWiki web for the Plugin topics. Settings in TWiki.TWikiPreferences are:
 
TWikiGlossary 27 Jan 2003 - 09:11 - r1.2   Main.PeterThoeny
| Preferences: | The site-wide, single _web_ and single user-level preferences settings. The settings are stored in TWikiPreferences , WebPreferences and Main.TWikiUsers home pages. [[TWikiVariables#PreferencesVariables][Details...]] |
 
TWikiVariables 27 Jan 2003 - 08:22 - r1.62   Main.PeterThoeny
__Note:__ There are some more useful variables defined in the TWikiPreferences  like =%<nop>BR%= for line break, colors like =%<nop>RED%= for colored text and small icons like =%<nop>H%= for a HELP Help icon.
 
TWikiDocGraphics 25 Jan 2003 - 07:09 - r1.12   Main.PeterThoeny
This is one way to create a library of common icons, accessible through user-defined TWikiVariables set in WebPreferences, or in TWikiPreferences  for site-wide use.
 
TextFormattingFAQ 09 Jan 2003 - 04:59 - r1.14   Main.PeterThoeny
TWikiPreferences  defines some commonly used colors: * %<nop>YELLOW%, %<nop>RED%, %<nop>PINK%, %<nop>PURPLE%, %<nop>TEAL%, %<nop>NAVY%, %<nop>BLUE%, %<nop>AQUA%, %<nop>LIME%, %<nop>GREEN%, %<nop>OLIVE%, %<nop>MAROON%, %<nop>BLACK%, %<nop>GRAY%, %<nop>SILVER%* and *%<nop>ENDCOLOR%*.

1. Test the new TWikiPlugins by checking the Plugins settings in TWikiPreferences .

* =TWikiPreferences = moved from TWiki.Main to TWiki.TWiki. Merge your changes to =TWikiPreferences = into =TWiki.TWikiPreferences=.
* The following topics in the TWiki.Main web are deprecated (because they moved to TWiki.TWiki), but still need to be present in TWiki.Main because of existing links to them: =FileAttachment=, =TWikiDocumentation=, =TWikiHistory=, =TWikiPreferences =, =TWikiVariables=.
* With links to: =TWikiPreferences = , =TWikiVariables= , =TWikiUsers= , =TWikiWebsTable= and =WelcomeGuest=

Graphics in text (like this: ALERT!) is done also by defining special variables. See [[TWiki.TWikiPreferences ]]. Some may prefer longer names, like =HELP=, =WARN= etc. You can also add your own images, e.g. a =NEW=, or a =ASK= to ask question.
 
TWikiDocGraphics 25 Jan 2003 - 07:09 - r1.12   Main.PeterThoeny
In this example, <nop>TWikiPreferences - this topic - acts as the icon library. Graphics are uploaded and displayed. Then, the paths are set in [[TWiki.TWikiPreferences #DocGraphics]] for site-wide access. You can also create individual library pages in each web. And you don't have to restrict yourself to graphics: Preferences Variables can include text and links to any type of file.
