Local customizations of site-wide preferences

Site-level preferences are located in TWiki.TWikiPreferences, however this Main.TWikiPreferences prefs topic has override priority and should be used for local customizations. This allows for easier upgrades as you don't need to worry about the shipped preferences clobbering yours. It's easier to keep a handle on if you only copy over the settings you actually change.

Site Specific Site-wide Preferences

• Set SKIN = pattern
• Set EDITMETHOD = raw
• # Set BROADCASTMESSAGE = [4/19/2014] After a recent upgrade, we have been having problems with runaway TWiki processes that cause this server to eventually freeze. We are working on it.
• Set ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT = 20000

Final Preferences

• FINALPREFERENCES locks site-level preferences that are not allowed to be overridden by WebPreferences or user preferences:
  • Set FINALPREFERENCES = ALLOWROOTCHANGE, ATTACHFILESIZELIMIT, DENYROOTCHANGE, DOCWEB, ICONTOPIC, PREVIEWBGIMAGE, SYSTEMWEB, TWIKICOLORSURL, TWIKILAYOUTURL, TWIKISTYLEURL, USERSWEB, WIKIHOMEURL, WIKITOOLNAME

Security Settings

• Only TWiki administrators are allowed to change this topic:
  • Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup
  • Set ALLOWTOPICRENAME = TWikiAdminGroup
• Disable WYSIWYG editor for this preferences topic only:
  • Local TINYMCEPLUGIN_DISABLE = on
