SitePreferences

Foswiki's default preferences are located in DefaultPreferences, however settings defined here have override priority and should be used for local customisations.

Custom Site Preferences

• TEMPLWEB variable for identifying which web holds topic templates
  • Set HELP_BACKGROUND_COLOR = #E0B9A6
  • Set TCAOWEB = TCAO
• Set sidebar style:

      * Set STARTSIDEBAR = <div style="position:relative;float:right;width:30%;background-color:white;border:2px dotted %WEBBGCOLOR%;padding:1em;margin:0.5em;display:inline;">
      * Set STOPSIDEBAR = </div>

• Insert a page break when printing:
  • Set PAGEBREAK =

• Set HOMEWEB = Public

• SUMMARY box - %SUMMARY% and %ENDSUMMARY% variables to create a highlighted box. Nice for summarizing a topic.

   * SUMMARY
      * Set SUMMARY = <table border="1" align=center width=80% bgcolor="#CCFFFF"><tr><td><b>
      * Set ENDSUMMARY = </td></tr></table>
   * TOP
      * Set TOP = <font size=-1> _[[%INCLUDINGWEB%.%INCLUDINGTOPIC%#PageTop][Return to top of page]]_ </font>

This is an example of SUMMARY box formatting.

• Return to topc - %TOP% creates a small, quick-link back to the top of any page. Here's what it looks like:
