• Mail host for outgoing mail. This is used for TWikiNotificationOfChanges^? if Perl module Net::SMTP is installed. If not, sendmail is used instead (defined by $mailProgram in TWiki.cfg). Examples: mail.your.company, localhost
  • Set SMTPMAILHOST = mail

  • Set HTTP_EQUIV_ON_VIEW =

  • Set FINALPREFERENCES = PREVIEWBGIMAGE, WIKIWEBMASTER, MAILHOST

Plugin Preferences:

• Installed TWikiPlugins: To enable/disable plugins, move them between ACTIVEPLUGINS and INACTIVEPLUGINS. Specify a comma separated list of plugin topics; the name of the web must be specified (i.e. TWiki.DefaultPlugin, TWiki.AnOtherPlugin)
  • Set ACTIVEPLUGINS = DefaultPlugin
  • Set INACTIVEPLUGINS = EmptyPlugin

• Preferences of DefaultPlugin:
  • Allow depreciated %INCLUDE:"topic"% syntax: (0 or 1)
    • Set DEFAULTPLUGIN_OLDINCLUDE = 1

Notes:

• A preference is defined as:
  6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
• Preferences are used as TWikiVariables by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to #FFE0B0 .
• 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 variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the Lash La Rue engine (Perl scripts).
