* Fixed bug where an email address starting with a WikiName  was rendered as an internal Wiki link instead of an email address, i.e. SomeWikiName@somewhere.test .

TWikiTopics 01 Feb 2003 - 11:46 - r1.12   Main.PeterThoeny
* *To add a new topic*: the simplest way is to type a new WikiName  in an existing topic, while you're in edit mode. When the topic is saved, the new name will appear highlighted, with a *?* at the end: click the *?* and a new edit window appears. Enter, preview and save as usual. The new topic now exists.
Another way to add a topic is to type a new topic name in the Go box or an unknown topic URL. You can type in either a WikiName  to create the topic in the current web or <nop>Web.TopicName to create a topic in a different web than the current page. Topics created with the Go box or URLs do not have parent meta-data defined.
1. *To rename:* fill in a new WikiName  (otherwise, leave the current topic name)
 
WikiSyntax 01 Feb 2003 - 10:01 - r1.15   Main.PeterThoeny
* When entering <nop>WikiName  signatures - like, <nop>guest - include "Main." as a prefix, since all TWiki member pages are in the Main web: =Main.YourName=.

TWikiUsernameVsLoginUsername 30 Jan 2003 - 08:36 - r1.7   Main.PeterThoeny
__NOTE:__ *To correctly enter a WikiName * - your own or someone else's - be sure to specify the Main web in front of the Wiki username: write ==Main.<nop>WikiUsername== or ==%<nop>MAINWEB%.<nop>WikiUsername==. This assures that the name will be linked automatically to the Main web, where user home pages are stored, even if the text is entered in a different web.
 
TWikiSiteTools 30 Jan 2003 - 07:43 - r1.7   Main.PeterThoeny
TWiki handles <nop>WebNotify entries that include the WikiName  of a user or a [[Main.TWikiGroups][TWikiGroup]] and an optional e-mail address. Example entries in <nop>WebNotify:
 
TWikiPlugins 29 Jan 2003 - 07:21 - r1.21   Main.PeterThoeny
A minimum Plugin release consists of a Perl module with a WikiName  that ends in =Plugin=, ex: =MyFirstPlugin.pm=, and a documentation page with the same name(=MyFirstPlugin.txt=).
 
TWikiGlossary 27 Jan 2003 - 09:11 - r1.2   Main.PeterThoeny
| Topic: | The content of a TWiki _page_, consisting of text, an optional _form_ and optional _attachments_. It has a WikiName  that's unique within its _web_. [[TWikiTopics][Details...]] |
 
ManagingWebs 19 Jan 2003 - 08:22 - r1.23   Main.PeterThoeny
*NOTE:* If you plan to rename the TWiki.Main web, remember that TWiki stores user and group topics in =%<nop>MAINWEB%=, default named =Main=. That means, every WikiName  signature - =Main.<nop>SomeUserName= - points to it and would need updating (unless the variable, =%<nop>MAINWEB%.<nop>SomeUserName=, is used throughout).
 
WikiName 18 Jan 2003 - 09:44 - r1.3   Main.PeterThoeny
For example, Tim Berners-Lee's <nop>WikiName  is TimBernersLee.
 
WikiWord 18 Jan 2003 - 09:22 - r1.4   Main.PeterThoeny
* Sometimes you have to be creative to find a good <nop>WikiName . Examples:
 
TWikiAccessControl 29 Dec 2002 - 02:18 - r1.27   Main.PeterThoeny
* WikiName  and encrypted password are recorded in =.htpasswd= if authentication is enabled.
* A user home page with the WikiName  of the user is created in the Main web.
 
TWikiUserAuthentication 29 Dec 2002 - 02:04 - r1.15   Main.PeterThoeny
* Normally, the ==REMOTE_USER== environment variable is set for the scripts that are under authentication. If, for example, the ==edit==, ==save== and ==preview== scripts are authenticated, but not ==view==, you would get your WikiName  in ==preview== for the ==%<nop>WIKIUSERNAME%== variable, but ==view== will show ==TWikiGuest== instead of your <nop>WikiName .
__NOTE:__ *To correctly enter a WikiName * - your own or someone else's - be sure to include the Main web name in front of the Wiki username, followed by a period, and no spaces. Ex:
 
TWikiMetaData 11 Dec 2002 - 07:30 - r1.11   Main.PeterThoeny
| by | Who did it, is the REMOTE_USER, not <nop>WikiName  |
| user | the REMOTE_USER, not <nop>WikiName  |
| movedby | the REMOTE_USER, not <nop>WikiName  |
 
TWikiTutorial 22 Oct 2002 - 06:42 - r1.12   Main.PeterThoeny
* Go to the Main.TWikiUsers topic in the TWiki.Main web; it has a list of all users of TWiki. Your WikiName  will be in this list after you register.
 
TWikiSite 12 May 2002 - 19:04 - r1.21   Main.MikeMannix
<blockquote> ALERT! If you have to log-in to use TWiki, for example, if Twiki is running on an intranet, it automatically signs pages you edit and create with your WikiName . If your TWiki installation doesn't require a log-in, TWiki gives everyone the same username: Main.TWikiGuest.</blockquote>
