TWiki System RequirementsServer and client requirements Low client and server base requirements are core features that keep TWiki widely deployable, particularly across a range of browser platforms and versions. Many Plugins and contrib modules exist which enhance and expand TWiki's capabilities; they may have additional requirements.Server RequirementsTWiki is written in Perl 5, uses a number of shell commands, and requires RCS (Revision Control System), a GNU Free Software package. TWiki is developed in a basic Linux/Apache environment. It also works with Microsoft Windows, and should have no problem on any other platform that meets the requirements.
Required CPAN ModulesMost of the CPAN libraries listesd below are part of a standard Perl installation so you most likely have them all! See TWiki:TWiki.HowToInstallCpanModules for detailed information on how to install CPAN libraries The following Perl CPAN modules are used by TWiki:
Optional CPAN ModulesThe following Perl modules may be used by TWiki: See TWiki:TWiki.HowToInstallCpanModules for detailed information on how to install CPAN libraries

TWiki Installation GuideThe following is installation instructions for the TWiki-6.0 production release on an Apache web server on Linux. Visit TWiki:TWiki.InstallingTWiki for the latest updates to this guide and supplemental information for installing or upgrading TWiki, including notes on installing TWiki on different platforms, environments and web hosting sites. If you are upgrading from a previous version of TWiki, you probably want to read TWikiUpgradeGuide instead.Preparing to install TWikiBefore attempting to install TWiki, you are encouraged to review the AdminSkillsAssumptions. This guide assumes you have, at a minimum, basic knowledge of server administration on the system on which TWiki is to be installed. While it is possible to install TWiki with FTP access alone (for example, on a hosted site), it is tricky and may require additional support from your hosting service (for example, in setting file ownership and installing missing Perl CPAN libraries). To help setup a correct Apache configuration, you are very much encouraged to use the automatic tool TWiki:TWiki.ApacheConfigGenerator which generates the contents for an Apache config file for TWiki based on your inputs. While this installation guide specifically describes installation on an Apache web server on Linux, TWiki should work fine with any web server and OS that meet the system requirements (see below). For additional notes on installing TWiki on other systems, see TWiki:TWiki.InstallingTWiki#OtherPlatforms. If you are installing TWiki without Unix/Linux root (administrator) privileges (for example, on a hosted domain), see "Notes on Installing TWiki on Non-Root Account" below for supplemental instructions to the basic steps presented below. If you are upgrading from an earlier major version of TWiki such as Cairo (TWiki-3) or TWiki 4.x you will need the information found at TWikiUpgradeGuide. One of the more difficult tasks is installation of additional CPAN libraries. See TWiki:TWiki.HowToInstallCpanModules for detailed information on how to install CPAN libraries. If you need help, ask a question in the TWiki:Support.WebHome web or on TWiki:Codev.TWikiIRC (irc.freenode.net, channel #twiki).Basic Installation
http://yourdomain.com/do/view and start TWiki-ing away!
Important Server Security SettingsBefore you continue any further there are some basic and very important security settings you have to make sure are set correctly.
misc/twiki_httpd_conf.txt and example misc/htaccess.txt files include the needed settings that protect against all 3 security elements.
Next StepsOnce you have TWiki installed and running, you might consider the following optional steps for setting up and customizing your TWiki site. Many of the references below refer to topics within your TWiki installation. For example,TWiki.TWikiSkins refers to the TWikiSkins topic in your TWiki web. Easy way to jump directly to view the pages is to open your own TWiki in your browser and write TWiki.TWikiSkins in the Jump test box to the right in the top bar and hit Enter. You can find these topics in the on-line reference copy at the official TWiki website: TWiki-6.0 Release.
Enable Authentication of UsersThis step provides for site access control and user activity tracking on your TWiki site. This is particularly important for sites that are publicly accessible on the web. This guide describes only the most common of several possible authentication setups for TWiki and is suitable for public web sites. For information about other setups, see TWikiUserAuthentication, and TWiki:TWiki.TWikiUserAuthenticationSupplement. These are the steps for enabling "Template Login" which asks for a username and password in a web page, and processes them using the Apache 'htpasswd' password manager. Users can log in and log out.
LoginManager option TWiki::LoginManager::ApacheLogin uses a basic Apache type authentication where the browser itself prompts you for username and password. Most will find the TemplateLogin looking nicer. But ApacheLogin is required when you use Apache authentication methods like mod_ldap where all authentication is handled by an Apache module and not by the TWiki perl code. When you use ApacheLogin the apache configuration must be set up to require authentication of the some but not all the scripts in the bin directory. This section in the Apache config (or .htaccess) controls this
<FilesMatch "(attach|edit|manage|rename|save|upload|mail|logon|rest|.*auth).*"> require valid-user </FilesMatch>The TWiki:TWiki.ApacheConfigGenerator includes this section when you choose ApacheLogin. In the example misc/twiki_httpd_conf.txt and bin/.htaccess.txt files this section is commented out with #. Uncomment the section when you use ApacheLogin. It is important that this section is commented out or removed when you use TemplateLogin.
Define the Administrator User(s)Administrators have read and write access to any topic in TWiki, regardless of TWiki access controls. When you install TWiki one of the first things you will want to do is define yourself as an administrator. You become an administrator simply by adding yourself to the TWikiAdminGroup. It is the WikiName and not the login name you add to the group. Editing the Main.TWikiAdminGroup topic requires that you are an administrator. So to add the first administrator you need to login using the internal TWiki admin user login and the password you defined in configure.
Set TWiki PreferencesPreferences for customizing many aspects of TWiki are set simply by editing a special topic with TWiki.
Enable Email NotificationEach TWiki web has an automatic email notification service that sends you an email with links to all of the topics modified since the last alert. To enable this service:
Enable Signed Email NotificationTWiki administrative e-mails are an attractive target for SPAM generators and phishing attacks. One good way to protect against this possibility to enable S/MIME signatures on all administrative e-mails. To do this, you need an an X.509 certificate and private key for the the{WebMasterEmail} email account. Obtain these as you would for any other S/MIME e-mail user.
To enable TWiki to sign administrative e-mails:
Enable WebStatisticsYou can generate a listing manually, or on an automated schedule, of visits to individual pages on a per web basis. For information on setting up this feature, see the TWikiSiteTools topic.Automate removal of expired sessions and lease filesPer default TWiki cleans out expired session and lease files each time any topic is viewed. This however comes at a cost of lower performance. It is an advantage to define a negative value inconfigure for {Sessions}{ExpireAfter} (turn on expert mode to see it), and install a cronjob to run the tools/tick_twiki.pl script. Read The topic TWikiScripts#tick_twiki_pl for details how to do this.
Enable LocalizationTWiki now supports displaying of national (non-ascii) characters and presentation of basic interface elements in different languages. To enable these features, see theLocalization section of configure . For more information about these features, see TWiki:TWiki.InternationalizationSupplement.
Tailor New User Profile TopicWhen a new users registers on your TWiki, a user profile topic is created for them based on the NewUserTemplate topic (and its UserForm). It contains additional resources you can use to:
Custom Start Web and HomepageBy default the TWiki home is Main.WebHome. Users tend to create content starting from the homepage. In most cases it is better to create a new web (workspace) for default content. That way the Main web can be kept clean and used just for users and TWiki groups. For example, you could create an "Intranet" web if TWiki is primarily used as an intranet, or a "KB" web if used as a knowledge base, etc. If you have a dedicated web as a starting point you obviously want users start at the home of that web. This can be configured in two places: 1. Redirect from site home to web home, and 2. Set the wiki logo URL. 1. Redirect from site home to web home When a user enters the domain name of your TWiki she expects to see the homepage. You can do that either with an Apache rewrite rule or an HTML meta redirect to redirect from/ to /wiki/bin/view/Intranet/WebHome . Here is an example index.html containing an HTML meta redirect you can use: Customize it and put it in your HTML document root on your TWiki sever:
<html> <head> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;/do/view/Intranet/WebHome" /> </head> <body> Redirecting to <a href="/do/view/Intranet/WebHome">Intranet home</a>... </body> </html>2. Set the wiki logo URL When a user clicks on the logo in the upper left or on the "Home" link in the top-bar she expects to navigate to the new homepage. You can do that by defining and customizing the following setting in Main.TWikiPreferences as described in the Set TWiki Preferences section: URL of the logo: * Set WIKILOGOURL = %SCRIPTURLPATH{view}%/Intranet/WebHome Customize the Look of Your TWiki!The real power of TWiki lies in its flexibility to be customized to meet your needs. You can easily change the look of the default skins (called TopMenuSkin and PatternSkin) by reading the PatternSkinCustomization. At the official TWiki website you can find more resources. A good place to start exploring what's possible is TWiki:TWiki.TWikiAdminCookBook which offers tips and tricks for customizing your TWiki site. Many of these are appropriate to implement immediately after installing TWiki and before adding content so now's a good time to look at these.Customize Special PagesSome pages are meant to be customized after choice of authentication. If you do not use the internal TWiki password manager the topics that contains the features for changing and resetting passwords and changing the email address should be changed to a note describing how to perform these tasks in your organization. The topics are:Install PluginsTWiki:Plugins.WebHome is an extensive library of plugins for TWiki, that enhance functionality in a huge number of ways. A few plugins are pre-installed in the TWiki distribution. For more information on these, see InstalledPlugins. You activate installed plugin in the Plugins section ofconfigure . In this section you also find a Find More Extensions button which opens an application which can install additional plugins from the TWiki.org website. If you are behind a firewall or your server has no access to the Internet it is also possible to install plugins manually. Manual installation instructions for the plugins can be found in the plugin topics on TWiki.org. Additional documentation on TWiki plugins can be found at TWiki:TWiki.TWikiPluginsSupplement.
Some plugins require that you define their settings in configure . You fill find these under the Extensions section of configure.
WYSIWYG And Raw EditFrom TWiki release 4.2.0 on the WYSIWYG editor has been replaced by a much better and more powerful editor and it was decided that WYSIWYG would be the default edit mode. An Edit Raw link is available for those that have a need or preference for this mode. However you may prefer to have the same user interface as in TWiki 4.1 where Edit was the raw text editor and you had a WYSIWYG button. This is possible by adding the following setting in the Main.TWikiPreferences, WebPreferences or user hompages:
Copyright, License and Classification StatementsAt the bottom of each topic you will find a default copyright message saying "Copyright © by the contributing authors. All material on this collaboration platform is the property of the contributing authors." The WEBCOPYRIGHT setting defines this. This is often not adequate.
TroubleshootingThe first step is to re-run theconfigure script and make sure you have resolved all errors, and are satisfied that you understand any warnings.
If, by any chance, you forget the "admin" password, the same used in "configure" script, then please login to the server. Delete $TWiki::cfg{Password}= ' ...'; . Set the new password using "configure" script.
Failing that, please check TWiki:TWiki.InstallingTWiki on TWiki.org, the supplemental documentation that help you install TWiki on different platforms, environments and web hosting sites. For example:

Notes on Installing TWiki on Non-Root AccountThe following supplemental notes to the Basic Installation instructions apply to installing TWiki on a system where you don't have Unix/Linux root (administrator) privileges, for example, on a hosted Web account or an intranet server administered by someone else. Referring to the Basic Installation steps presented above:
Installing Manually Without ConfigureIt is highly recommended to use run configure from the browser when setting up TWiki. Configure does a lot of the hard work for you. But there may be instances where you do not want to use configure or where configure simply won't run because of a missing dependency. The manual steps you have to take are:

TWiki Upgrade GuideThis guide covers upgrading from a previous version of TWiki (such as TWiki-5.1) to TWiki-6.0OverviewTWiki-6.0.0 is a major release that has a shiny new dashboard look. It brings many usability enhancements, strengthens TWiki as an application platform, and scales to very large deployments with thousands of webs and a million pages. Use this guide to upgrade a previous TWiki release to TWiki-6.0. Use the TWikiInstallationGuide if you do not have data to carry forward.Upgrade Requirements
Major Changes Compared to Earlier TWiki ReleasesSee TWikiReleaseNotes04x00, TWikiReleaseNotes04x01, TWikiReleaseNotes04x02, TWikiReleaseNotes04x03, TWikiReleaseNotes05x00, TWikiReleaseNotes05x01, TWikiReleaseNotes06x00New Upgrade Option with BackupRestorePluginTWiki now has a new solution to backup, restore and upgrade TWiki sites. It can be used via browser and on the command line. The BackupRestorePlugin is pre-installed in TWiki-5.1 and later releases; it can be installed in older TWiki releases as low as TWiki-2001-09-01 (Athens Release) to easily create a backup that can be restored on a new TWiki release. This offers an easy upgrade path for TWiki. The plugin is currently in Beta, check TWiki:Plugins.BackupRestorePlugin for updates.Upgrade ProcedureThe following steps are a rough guide to upgrading only. It is impossible to give detailed instructions, as what you have to do may depend on whether you can configure the webserver or not, and how much you have changed distributed files in your current TWiki release. The main steps are:
Installation
Install Extensions
Copy your old webs to new TWiki
Copy Users And Their Topics From Main Web
Apply Customizations To The Skin
Apply Preferences From Old Installation
Switch-OverOnce you have tested the new TWiki you can switch over to the new site. If the same domain and URL is used:
Customization of Special PagesSome pages in the TWiki web are meant to be customized after choice of authentication. If you do not use the internal TWiki password manager the topics that contains the features for changing and resetting passwords and changing the email address should be changed to a note describing how to perform these tasks in your organization. If you have made such customizations remember to replace these topics in the TWiki web with the tailored versions from your old installation. The topics are:
Upgrading from Cairo to TWiki-4 (additional advice)FaviconTWiki-4's PatternSkin introduces the use of the favicon feature which most browsers use to show a small icon in front of the URL and for bookmarks. In TWiki-4 it is assumed that each web has a favicon.ico file attached to the WebPreferences topic. When you upgrade from Cairo to TWiki-4 you do not have this file and you will get flooded with errors the error log of your web server. There are two solutions to this.
* Set FAVICON = %PUBURLPATH%/%SYSTEMWEB%/%WEBPREFSTOPIC%/favicon.ico TWikiUsers topic in Main webYour old Main.TWikiUsers topic will work in the new TWiki but you will need to ensure that the following four users from the TWikiUsersTemplate topic are copied to the existing TWikiUsers topic in proper alphabetical order:* TWikiContributor - 2005-01-01 * TWikiGuest - guest - 1999-02-10 * TWikiRegistrationAgent - 2005-01-01 * UnknownUser - 2005-01-01What these users are:
Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = TWikiAdminGroup, TWikiRegistrationAgent access control setting. Otherwise people will not be able to register.
Important Changes since TWiki-4.0.5Supported Perl versionTWiki 4.0.5 worked on Perl version 5.6.X. Reports from users has shown that unfortunately TWiki 4.1.0 does not support Perl versions older then 5.8.0. It is the goal that TWiki should work on at least Perl version 5.6.X but none of the developers have had access to Perl installations older than 5.8.0. Since TWiki 4.1.0 has some urgent bugs the development team decided to release TWiki 4.1.1 without resolving the issue with Perl 5.6.X. We will however address this and try and resolve it for a planned 4.1.2 release. The TWiki community is very interested in contributions from users that have fixes for the code which will enable TWiki to run on older versions of Perl. See the WhatVersionsOfPerlAreSupported topic to keep up to date with the discussion how to get back support for earlier Perl versions.Template spec changedUntil TWiki 4.0.5 TWikiTemplates the text inside template definition blocks (anything between%TMPL:DEF{"block"}% and %TMPL:END% was stripped of leading and trailing white space incl new lines.
This caused a lot of problems for skin developers when you wanted a newline before or after the block text.
From TWiki 4.1.0 this has changed so that white space is no longer stripped. Skins like PatternSkin and NatSkin have been updated so that they work with the new behavior. But if you use an older skin or have written your own you will most likely need to make some adjustments.
It is not difficult. The general rule is - if you get mysterious blank lines in your skin, the newline after the %TMPL:DEF{"block"}% needs to be removed. Ie. the content of the block must follow on the same line as the TMPL:DEF.
The spec change have the same impact on CommentPlugin templates where you may have to remove the first line break after the TMPL:DEF. See the CommentPluginTemplate for examples of how comment template definitions should look like in TWiki-4.1.X
An example: A CommentPlugin template that adds a comment as appending a row to a table. Before the spec change this would work.
<verbatim> %TMPL:DEF{OUTPUT:tabletest}%%POS:BEFORE% |%URLPARAM{"comment"}%| -- %WIKIUSERNAME% - %DATE% | %TMPL:END% </verbatim>From Twiki 4.1.0 the old template definition will add an empty line before the new table row. To fix it simply remove the new line before the table. <verbatim> %TMPL:DEF{OUTPUT:tabletest}%%POS:BEFORE%|%URLPARAM{"comment"}%| -- %WIKIUSERNAME% - %DATE% | %TMPL:END% </verbatim>The advantage of the spec change is that now you can add leading and trailing white space including new lines. This was not possible before. Important Changes since TWiki-4.1.0New location for session and other temporary filesAn upgrader upgrading to 4.1.1 should note the following important change The directory for passthrough files and session files have been replaced by a common directory for temporary files used by TWiki. Previously the two configure settings{PassthroughDir} and {Sessions}{Dir} were by default set to /tmp . These config settings have been replaced by {TempfileDir} with the default setting value /tmp/twiki . If the twiki directory does not exist twiki will create it first time it needs it.
It is highly recommended no longer to use the tmp directory common to other web applications and the new default will work fine for most. You may want to delete all the old session files in /tmp after the upgrade to 4.1.1. They all start with cgisess_. It is additionally highly recommended to limit write access to the {TempfileDir} for security reasons if you have non-admin users with login access to the webserver just like you would do with the other webserver directories.
Important Changes since TWiki-4.1.2New WYSIWYG EditorTWiki now ships with a new WYSIWYG editor based on TinyMCE which replaces the Kupu based editor. TinyMCE is not a perfect Wysiwyg editor but it is magnitudes better than the previously used Kupu editor. The WysiwygPlugin that drives the engine behind both TinyMCE has additionally been heavily improved so that fewer TWiki Applications are negatively affected by editing in WYSIWYG mode. When TinyMCEPlugin is enabled, the Edit button by default becomes WYSIWYG editing mode. A new Raw Edit link has been added to enable application developers to edit the good old way. The WYSIWYG button has been removed.NEWTOPICLINKSYMBOL removedThe NEWTOPICLINKSYMBOL preference which was deprecated in 4.1 has now been removed from the code. If you want to control the appearance of new links, you can use NEWLINKFORMAT.UserForm and NewUserTemplate CustomizationWhen a new user registers on TWiki his user topic is created based on theNewUserTemplate and UserForm .
The NewUserTemplate was located in the TWiki web and the UserForm in the Main web. When upgrading TWiki these were some of the topics you had to take care not to overwrite.
From 4.2.0 the UserForm and NewUserTemplate are distributed in the TWiki web. If you create the two in the Main web the Main web version will be used instead. So if you tailor the user topic format or the form then you should always copy the two files to the Main web and modify the ones in the Main web. When you later upgrade TWiki your tailored template and form will not be overwritten.
TWikiUsers no longer distributedTheMain.TWikiUsers topic contains all the registered users. It is a topic you do not want to overwrite when you upgrade TWiki.
From 4.2.0 this file is no longer included in the TWiki distribution. When you register the first time TWiki creates the Main.TWikiUsers topic in the Main web if it does not exist already. This means that you can now upgrade TWiki without risk of overwriting the important TWikiUsers topic.

TWiki VariablesSpecial text strings expand on the fly to display dynamic content, such as user data or system info TWikiVariables are text strings -%VARIABLE% or %VARIABLE{ parameter="value" }% - that expand into content whenever a topic is rendered for viewing. There are two types of variables:
TWiki Variables Wizard
Select a category and a variable
Build Your Variable:
<----><----> Using VariablesTo use a variable type its name. For example,
Variable NamesVariable names must start with a letter, optionally followed by letters, numbers and underscore '_' characters. Both upper-case and lower-case characters can be used,%MYVAR% , %MyVar% , %My2ndVar% , and %My_Var% are valid names. Variables are case sensitive, e.g. %MyVAR% and %MYVAR% are not the same.
By convention all settings, predefined variables and variables handled by extensions are always UPPER-CASE.
Preferences VariablesUnlike predefined variables, preferences variables can be defined by the user in various places.Setting Preferences VariablesYou can set variables in all the following places:
preview will show the wrong thing, and you must save the topic to see it correctly.
The syntax for setting variables is the same anywhere in TWiki (on its own TWiki bullet line, including nested bullets): [multiple of 3 spaces] * [space] Set [space] VARIABLENAME [space] = [space] value
Examples:
* Set VARIABLENAME1 = value * Set VARIABLENAME2 = valueSpaces between the = sign and the value will be ignored. You can split a value over several lines by indenting following lines with spaces - as long as you don't try to use * as the first character on the following line. Example: * Set VARIABLENAME = value starts here and continues hereWhatever you include in your variable will be expanded on display, exactly as if it had been entered directly. Example: Create a custom logo variable
* Set MYLOGO = %PUBURL%/%WEB%/LogoTopic/mylogo.gifYou can also set preferences variables on a topic by clicking the link Edit topic preference settings under More topic actions . Use the same * Set VARIABLENAME = value syntax. Preferences set in this manner are not visible in the topic text, but take effect nevertheless.
Controlling User Level Preferences OverrideBy default, user level variables are set at the step 4 as stated in the previous section. That means a user can finalise some preferences variables so that web level or topic level setting cannot override it. This may result in a situation the web or page owner doesn't expect.$TWiki::cfg{DemoteUserPreferences} has been introduced to avoid it.
If it's set to true, user level variables are set at the last step instead of the step 4.
But this is not enough.
To guarantee a certain result, you need to finalise critical preferences variables set at the web or topic level, which is cumbersome.
So preferences variables DENYUSERPREFEENCES and ALLOWUSERPREFEENCES have been introduced.
* Set DENYUSERPREFERENCES = allIf you allow INYMCEPLUGIN_DISABLE and SKIN to be set at the user level:
* Set ALLOWUSERPREFERENCES = TINYMCEPLUGIN_DISABLE, SKINIf you allow user preferences to set anything other than TINYMCEPLUGIN_DISABLE or SKIN :
* Set DENYUSERPREFERENCES = TINYMCEPLUGIN_DISABLE, SKINPlease note DENYUSERPREFEENCES and ALLOWUSERPREFEENCES affect user preferences regardless of $TWiki::cfg{DemoteUserPreferences} .
You can set those variables at the site level while $TWiki::cfg{DemoteUserPreferences} setting to false.
If you do so, you should finalise DENYUSERPREFEENCES and ALLOWUSERPREFEENCES .
Otherwise, they might be overridden by user preferences.
You will get the most benefit of DENYUSERPREFEENCES and ALLOWUSERPREFEENCES by setting $TWiki::cfg{DemoteUserPreferences} to true.
That way, each web can specify how much user level preferences overriding is allowed.
Parameterized Variables (Macros)It is possible to pass parameters to TWiki variables. This is called a macro in a programming language. To define a parameterized variable, set a variable that contains other variables, such as:* Set EXAMPLE = Example variable using %DEFAULT%, %PARAM1% and %PARAM2% * Set DEMO = Demo using %DEFAULT{ default="(undefined)" }%, %PARAM1{ default="(undefined)" }% and %PARAM2{ default="(undefined)" }%A special %DEFAULT% variable denotes the default (nameless) parameter of the calling variable. Variables optionally may list a default="..." parameter that gets used in case the calling variable does not specify that parameter.
To use a parameterized variable (or call a macro), add parameters within the curly brackets, such as:
* %EXAMPLE{ "foo" PARAM1="bar" PARAM2="baz" }% * %DEMO{ "demo" PARAM2="parameter 2" }% -- note that PARAM1 is missingwhich resolves to:
ExampleDefine variables:* Set DRINK = red wine * Set FAVORITE = My %DEFAULT{default="favorite"}% dish is %DISH{default="steak"}%, my %DEFAULT{default="favorite"}% drink is %DRINK%.The default can be defined with a default parameter ( %DISH{default="steak"}% ), or as a preferences setting (Set DRINK = ... ).
Use Variables:
%FAVORITE{ DISH="Sushi" DRINK="Sake" }%Returns: %FAVORITE{ DISH="Sushi" DRINK="Sake" }% %FAVORITE{}%Returns: %FAVORITE{}% %FAVORITE{ "preferred" }%Returns: %FAVORITE{ "preferred" }% <-- Redefine what is defined in INCLUDE:
Access Control VariablesThese are special types of preferences variables to control access to content. TWikiAccessControl explains these security settings in detail.Local values for variablesCertain topics (a users home topic, web site and default preferences topics) have a problem; variables defined in those topics can have two meanings. For example, consider a user topic. A user may want to use a double-height edit box when they are editing their home topic - but only when editing their home topic. The rest of the time, they want to have a normal edit box. This separation is achieved usingLocal in place of Set in the variable definition. For example, if the user sets the following in their home topic:
* Set EDITBOXHEIGHT = 10 * Local EDITBOXHEIGHT = 20Then when they are editing any other topic, they will get a 10 high edit box. However when they are editing their home topic, they will get a 20 high edit box. Local can be used wherever a preference needs to take a different value depending on where the current operation is being performed.
Use this powerful feature with great care! %ALLVARIABLES% can be used to get a listing of the values of all variables in their evaluation order, so you can see variable scope if you get confused.
Frequently Used Preferences VariablesThe following preferences variables are frequently used. They are defined in TWikiPreferences#Miscellaneous_Settings:
Predefined VariablesMost predefined variables return values that were either set in the configuration when TWiki was installed, or taken from server info (such as current username, or date and time). Some, like%SEARCH% , are powerful and general tools.
Search or List Variables by CategoryDocumenting TWiki VariablesThis section is for people documenting TWiki variables of the TWiki core and TWiki extensions. Each variable is documented in a topic namedVar<name> in the TWiki web. For example, a %LIGHTSABER% variable has a documentation topic called VarLIGHTSABER. The topic is expected to have a specific format so that reports in this TWikiVariables topic, in TWikiVariablesSearch and in category topics work as expected.
Basic structure of a variable documentation topic:
VarLIGHTSABER topic:
#VarLIGHTSABER ---+++ LIGHTSABER -- laser sword to fend of unethical competition * The =%<nop>LIGHTSABER{}%= variable is handled by the LightsaberPlugin. * Syntax: =%<nop>LIGHTSABER{ _parameters_ }%= * Parameters: | *Parameter* | *Description* | *Default* | | =color="..."= | Color: =red=, =glue=, =green= | =white= | | =sound="..."= | Sound: =none=, =standard=, =loud= | =none= | * Example: =%<nop>LIGHTSABER{ color="red" }%= shows a red Lightsaber * Expands to: =%LIGHTSABER{ color="red" }%= * Note: The Lightsaber is a fictional weapon in the Star Wars universe, a "laser sword." * Category: FormattingAndRenderingVariables, UIAndVisualizationVariables * Related: [[%IF{"'%INCLUDINGTOPIC%'='TWikiVariables'" then="#"}%VarPLASMA][PLASMA]], LightsaberPlugin | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

TWiki Formatted SearchInline search feature allows flexible formatting of search result The default output format of a%SEARCH{...}% is a table consisting of topic names and topic summaries. Use the format="..." parameter to customize the search result. The format parameter typically defines a bullet or a table row containing variables, such as %SEARCH{ "food" format="| $topic | $summary |" }% . See %SEARCH{...}% for other search parameters, such as separator="" .
SyntaxThree parameters can be used to customize a search result: 1.
Use the header parameter to specify the header of a search result. It should correspond to the format of the format parameter. This parameter is optional. |

Example: • $query(attachments.arraysize) returns the number of files attached to the current topic • $query(attachments[name~'*.gif'].size) returns an array with size of all .gif attachments, such as 848, 1425, 923 • $query(parent.name) is equivalent to $parent |
$query(query-syntax, quote:") |
Strings in QuerySearch result are quoted with the specified quote. Useful to triple-quote strings for use in SpreadSheetPlugin's CALCULATE, such as $query(attachments.comment, quote:''') which returns a list of triple-quoted attachment comment strings -- the spreadhseet funcions will work properly even if comment strings contain commas and parenthesis |
$query(query-syntax, encode:type) |
QuerySearch result is encoded in the specified type. This is in parallel to $formfield(name, encode:type) mentioned above |
$pattern(reg-exp) |

In case of a multiple="on" search, the pattern is applied to the line found in each search hit.• Specify a RegularExpression that covers the whole text (topic or line), which typically starts with .* , and must end in .* • Put text you want to keep in parenthesis, like $pattern(.*?(from here.*?to here).*) • Example: $pattern(.*?\*.*?Email\:\s*([^\n\r]+).*) extracts the e-mail address from a bullet of format * Email: ... • This example has non-greedy .*? patterns to scan for the first occurance of the Email bullet; use greedy .* patterns to scan for the last occurance • Limitation: Do not use .*) inside the pattern, e.g. $pattern(.*foo(.*)bar.*) does not work, but $pattern(.*foo(.*?)bar.*) does • Note: Make sure that the integrity of a web page is not compromised; for example, if you include an HTML table make sure to include everything including the table end tag |
$pattern(reg-exp, encode:type) |
A text extracted by reg-exp is encoded in the specified type. This is in parallel to $formfield(name, encode:type) mentioned above |
$count(reg-exp) |
Count of number of times a regular expression pattern appears in the text of a topic (does not search meta data). Follows guidelines for use and limitations outlined above under $pattern(reg-exp) . Example: $count(.*?(---[+][+][+][+]) .*) counts the number of <H4> headers in a page. |

* Set SKIN = tagme, topmenu, pattern
twiki/templates
directory and are named according to the skin: <scriptname>.<skin>.tmpl
. Skin files may also be defined in TWiki topics - see TWikiTemplates for details.
To start creating a new skin, copy the default TWikiTemplates (like view.tmpl
), or copy an existing skin to use as a base for your own skin. You should only need to copy the files you intend to customize, as TWiki can be configured to fall back to another skin if a template is not defined in your skin. Name the files as described above (for example view.myskin.tmpl
).
If you use PatternSkin as your starting point, and you want to modify the layout, colors or even the templates to suit your own needs, have a look first at the topics PatternSkinCustomization and PatternSkinCssCookbook.
For your own TWiki skin we encourage you to show a small TWiki logo at the bottom of your skin:
%WEBCOPYRIGHT%
variable.
Note: Two skin names have reserved meanings; text
skin, and skin names starting with rss
have hard-coded meanings.
The following template files are used for TWiki screens, and are referenced in the TWiki core code. If a skin doesn't define its own version of a template file, then TWiki will fall back to the next skin in the skin path, or finally, to the default version of the template file.

twiki.tmpl
is a master template conventionally used by other templates, but not used directly by code.
Note: Make sure templates do not end with a newline. Any newline will expand to an empty <p />
in the generated html. It will produce invalid html, and may break the page layout.
twiki.pattern.tmpl
contains %TMPL:INCLUDE{"twiki"}%
, the templating system will include the next twiki.SKIN in the skin path (which is explained below). For example, to create a customization of pattern skin, where you only want to remove the edit & WYSIWYG buttons from view page, you create only a view.yourlocal.tmpl
:
%TMPL:INCLUDE{"view"}% %TMPL:DEF{"edit_topic_link"}%%TMPL:END% %TMPL:DEF{"edit_wysiwyg_link"}%%TMPL:END%and then set
SKIN=yourlocal,pattern
.

to jump to an external web site. The feature is handy if you build a skin that has a select box of frequently used links, like Intranet home, employee database, sales database and such. A little JavaScript gets into action on the onchange
method of the select tag to fill the selected URL into the "Go" box field, then submits the form.
Here is an example form that has a select box and the Jump Box for illustration purposes. You need to have JavaScript enabled for this to work:
Note: Redirect to a URL only works if it is enabled in configure
(Miscellaneous, {AllowRedirectUrl}
).

skin.tmpl
, where skin is the name of the skin e.g. pattern
. If no template is found, then the fallback is to use view.tmpl
. Each skin on the path is searched for in turn. For example, if you have set the skin path to local,pattern
then view.local.tmpl
will be searched for first, then view.pattern.tmpl
and finally view.tmpl
.
The basic skin is defined by a SKIN
setting:
Set SKIN = catskin, bearskin
?skin=catskin,bearskin
:
Setting SKIN
(or the ?skin
parameter in the URL) replaces the existing skin path setting, for the current page only. You can also extend the existing skin path as well, using covers.
Set COVER = ruskin
ruskin, catskin, bearskin
). There is also an equivalent cover
URL parameter. The difference between setting SKIN
vs. COVER
is that if the chosen template is not found (e.g., for included templates), SKIN
will fall back onto the next skin in line, or the default skin, if only one skin was present, while COVER
will always fall back onto the current skin.
An example would be invoking the printable mode, which is achieved by applying ?cover=print
. The view.print.tmpl
simply invokes the viewprint
template for the current skin which then can appropriately include all other used templates for the current skin. Where the printable mode be applied by using SKIN
, all skins would have the same printable appearance.
The full skin path is built up as follows: SKIN
setting (or ?skin
if it is set), then COVER
setting is added, then ?cover
.
* Set SKIN = %IF{ "'%HTTP{"User-Agent"}%'~'*iPhone*' OR '%HTTP{"User-Agent"}%'~'*Android*'" then="print, pattern" else="topmenu, pattern" }%
text
skin is reserved for TWiki internal use.
Skin names starting with rss
also have a special meaning; if one or more of the skins in the skin path starts with 'rss' then 8-bit characters will be encoded as XML entities in the output, and the content-type
header will be forced to text/xml
.

$query(query-syntax, quote:") |
Strings in QuerySearch result are quoted with the specified quote. Useful to triple-quote strings for use in SpreadSheetPlugin's CALCULATE, such as $query(attachments.comment, quote:''') which returns a list of triple-quoted attachment comment strings -- the spreadhseet funcions will work properly even if comment strings contain commas and parenthesis |

In case of a multiple="on" search, the pattern is applied to the line found in each search hit.• Specify a RegularExpression that covers the whole text (topic or line), which typically starts with .* , and must end in .* • Put text you want to keep in parenthesis, like $pattern(.*?(from here.*?to here).*) • Example: $pattern(.*?\*.*?Email\:\s*([^\n\r]+).*) extracts the e-mail address from a bullet of format * Email: ... • This example has non-greedy .*? patterns to scan for the first occurance of the Email bullet; use greedy .* patterns to scan for the last occurance • Limitation: Do not use .*) inside the pattern, e.g. $pattern(.*foo(.*)bar.*) does not work, but $pattern(.*foo(.*?)bar.*) does • Note: Make sure that the integrity of a web page is not compromised; for example, if you include an HTML table make sure to include everything including the table end tag |
$pattern(reg-exp, encode:type) |
A text extracted by reg-exp is encoded in the specified type. This is in parallel to $formfield(name, encode:type) mentioned above |
$count(reg-exp) |

If you need to install an "expensive" plugin, but you only need its functionality only in a subset of your data, you can disable it elsewhere by defining the %DISABLEDPLUGINS% TWiki variable.
Define DISABLEDPLUGINS
to be a comma-separated list of names of plugins to disable. Define it in Main.TWikiPreferences to disable those plugins everywhere, in the WebPreferences topic to disable them in an individual web, or in a topic to disable them in that topic. For example,
* Set DISABLEDPLUGINS = SpreadSheetPlugin, EditTablePlugin
{PluginsOrder}
in the plugins section of configure.
Set VARCACHEPLUGIN_REFRESH = 24
%<pluginname>_<setting>%
, such as %VARCACHEPLUGIN_REFRESH%
.
To learn how this is done, use the TWiki:Plugins.VarCachePlugin documentation and Perl plugin code as a reference.
2. Use configure settings:
The administrator can set plugin settings in the configure interface. Recommended if only site administrators should be able to change settings. Chose this option to set sensitive or dangerous system settings, such as passwords or path to executables. To define plugin-specific configure settings,
lib/TWiki/Plugins/YourPlugin/
with variables, such as$TWiki::cfg{Plugins}{RecentVisitorPlugin}{ShowIP} = 0;
$showIP = $TWiki::cfg{Plugins}{RecentVisitorPlugin}{ShowIP} || 0;

The plugin API handles the details of connecting your Perl module with main TWiki code. When you're familiar with the Plugin API, you're ready to develop plugins.
The TWiki:Plugins.BuildContrib module provides a lot of support for plugins development, including a plugin creator, automatic publishing support, and automatic installation script writer. If you plan on writing more than one plugin, you probably need it.
lib/TWiki/Plugins/EmptyPlugin.pm
to <name>Plugin.pm
. The EmptyPlugin.pm
module contains mostly empty functions, so it does nothing, but it's ready to be used. Customize it. Refer to the Plugin API specs for more information.
If your plugin uses its own modules and objects, you must include the name of the plugin in the package name. For example, write Package MyFirstPlugin::Attrs;
instead of just Package Attrs;
. Then call it using:
use TWiki::Plugins::MyFirstPlugin::Attrs; $var = MyFirstPlugin::Attrs->new();

configure
configure
rather than trying to use TWiki preferences variables. These extensions use Config.spec
files to publish their configuration requirements.
Config.spec
files are read during TWiki configuration. Once a Config.spec
has defined a configuration item, it is available for edit through the standard configure
interface. Config.spec
files are stored in the 'plugin directory' e.g. lib/TWiki/Plugins/BathPlugin/Config.spec
.
Config.spec
file Config.spec
file for an extension starts with the extension announcing what it is:
# ---+ Extensions # ---++ BathPlugin # This plugin senses the level of water in your bath, and ensures the plug # is not removed while the water is still warm.This is followed by one or more configuration items. Each configuration item has a type, a description and a default. For example:
# **SELECT Plastic,Rubber,Metal** # Select the plug type $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{PlugType} = 'Plastic'; # **NUMBER** # Enter the chain length in cm $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{ChainLength} = 30; # **BOOLEAN EXPERT** # Set this option to 0 to disable the water temperature alarm $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{TempSensorEnabled} = 1;The type (e.g.
**SELECT**
) tells configure
to how to prompt for the value. It also tells configure
how to do some basic checking on the value you actually enter. All the comments between the type and the configuration item are taken as part of the description. The configuration item itself defines the default value for the configuration item. The above spec defines the configuration items $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{PlugType}
, $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{ChainLength}
, and $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{TempSensorEnabled}
for use in your plugin. For example,
if( $TWiki::cfg{BathPlugin}{TempSensorEnabled} && $curTemperature > 50 ) { die "The bathwater is too hot for comfort"; }The Config.spec file is read by
configure
, which then writes LocalSite.cfg
with the values chosen by the local site admin.
A range of types are available for use in Config.spec
files:
BOOLEAN | A true/false value, represented as a checkbox |
COMMAND length | A shell command |
LANGUAGE | A language (selected from {LocalesDir} |
NUMBER | A number |
OCTAL | An octal number |
PASSWORD length | A password (input is hidden) |
PATH length | A file path |
PERL | A perl structure, consisting of arrays and hashes |
REGEX length | A perl regular expression |
SELECT choices | Pick one of a range of choices |
SELECTCLASS root | Select a perl package (class) |
STRING length | A string |
URL length | A url |
URLPATH length | A relative URL path |
EXPERT | means this an expert option |
M | means the setting is mandatory (may not be empty) |
H | means the option is not visible in configure |
lib/TWiki.spec
for many more examples.
Config.spec
files for non-plugin extensions are stored under the Contrib
directory instead of the Plugins
directory.
Note that from TWiki 5.0 onwards, CGI scripts (in the TWiki bin
directory) provided by extensions must also have an entry in the Config.spec
file. This entry looks like this (example taken from PublishContrib)
# **PERL H** # Bin script registration - do not modify $TWiki::cfg{SwitchBoard}{publish} = [ "TWiki::Contrib::Publish", "publish", { publishing => 1 } ];
PERL
specifies a perl data structure, and H
a hidden setting (it won't appear in configure
). The first field of the data value specifies the class where the function that implements the script can be found. The second field specifies the name of the function, which must be the same as the name of the script. The third parameter is a hash of initial context settings for the script.
TWiki:TWiki/SpecifyingConfigurationItemsForExtensions has supplemental documentation on configure settings.

TWiki::Plugins
version in which the handler was first deprecated. For example, if we need to define the endRenderingHandler
for compatibility with TWiki::Plugins
versions before 1.1, we would add this to the plugin:
package TWiki::Plugins::SinkPlugin; use vars qw( %TWikiCompatibility ); $TWikiCompatibility{endRenderingHandler} = 1.1;If the currently-running TWiki version is 1.1 or later, then the handler will not be called and the warning will not be issued. TWiki with versions of
TWiki::Plugins
before 1.1 will still call the handler as required.
%PLUGINVERSION%
TWiki variable, and accessed in code using
$TWiki::Plugins::VERSION
. The 'Since' field in the function
documentation refers to $TWiki::Plugins::VERSION
.
Notes on use of $TWiki::Plugins::VERSION
6.00 and later:
$TWiki::Plugins::VERSION = 6.78
.
6.79
, TWiki-6.7.10 will have 6.7910
, and TWiki-6.7.11 will have 6.7911
. This ensures that the version number can sort properly.
TWiki::Plugins::VERSION
also applies to the plugin handlers. The handlers are documented in the EmptyPlugin, and that module indicates what version of TWiki::Plugins::VERSION
it relates to.

Example:
my $response = getExternalResource($url, ['Cache-Control' => 'max-age=0'], {timeout => 10});The
$response
is an object that is known to implement the following subset of
the methods of HTTP::Response
. It may in fact be an HTTP::Response
object,
but it may also not be if LWP
is not available, so callers may only assume
the following subset of methods is available:
code() |
message() |
header($field) |
content() |
is_error() |
is_redirect() |
require LWP
.
is_error()
will return
true, code()
will return a valid HTTP status code
as specified in RFC 2616 and RFC 2518, and message()
will return the
message that was received from
the server. In the event of a client-side error (e.g. an unparseable URL)
then is_error()
will return true and message()
will return an explanatory
message. code()
will return 400 (BAD REQUEST).
Note: Callers can easily check the availability of other HTTP::Response methods
as follows:
my $response = TWiki::Func::getExternalResource($url); if (!$response->is_error() && $response->isa('HTTP::Response')) { $text = $response->content(); # ... other methods of HTTP::Response may be called } else { # ... only the methods listed above may be called }Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.2 Note: The optional parameters \@headers and \%params were added in TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 6.00
getExternalResource()

an HTTP POST method and that the additional $text
parameter is required.
The $text
is sent to the server as the body content of the HTTP request.

Meta data object and topic text
$meta
is a perl 'object' of class TWiki::Meta
. This class is
fully documented in the source code documentation shipped with the
release, or can be inspected in the lib/TWiki/Meta.pm
file.
This method ignores topic access permissions. You should be careful to use
checkAccessPermission
to ensure the current user has read access to the
topic.
See usage example at TWiki::Func::saveTopic.
Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.000 (7 Dec 2002)
$web
- Web name, e.g. 'Main'
, or empty
$topic
- Topic name, e.g. 'MyTopic'
, or "Main.MyTopic"
$rev
- Topic revision to read, optional. Specify the minor part of the revision, e.g. "5"
, not "1.5"
; the top revision is returned if omitted or empty.
$ignorePermissions
- Set to "1"
if checkAccessPermission() is already performed and OK; an oops URL is returned if user has no permission
$text
Topic text with embedded meta data; an oops URL for calling redirectCgiQuery() is returned in case of an error
This method is more efficient than readTopic
, but returns meta-data embedded in the text. Plugins authors must be very careful to avoid damaging meta-data. You are recommended to use readTopic instead, which is a lot safer.

$query
and $contentLength
parameters. Both were marked "you should not pass this parameter".

$query
- CGI query object. Ignored, only there for compatibility. The session CGI query object is used instead.
$url
- URL to redirect to
$passthru
- enable passthrough.
$viaCache
- forcibly cache a redirect CGI query. It cuts off all the params in a GET url and replace with a "?$cache=..." param. "$viaCache" is meaningful only if "$passthru" is true.
$passthru
parameter allows you to pass the parameters that were passed
to the current query on to the target URL, as long as it is another URL on the
same TWiki installation. If $passthru
is set to a true value, then TWiki
will save the current URL parameters, and then try to restore them on the
other side of the redirect. Parameters are stored on the server in a cache
file.
Note that if $passthru
is set, then any parameters in $url
will be lost
when the old parameters are restored. if you want to change any parameter
values, you will need to do that in the current CGI query before redirecting
e.g.
my $query = TWiki::Func::getCgiQuery(); $query->param(-name => 'text', -value => 'Different text'); TWiki::Func::redirectCgiQuery( undef, TWiki::Func::getScriptUrl($web, $topic, 'edit'), 1);
$passthru
does nothing if $url
does not point to a script in the current
TWiki installation.

This is useful for Plugins that want to include some javascript and custom css. $id
- Unique ID to prevent the same HTML from being duplicated. Plugins should use a prefix to prevent name clashes (e.g EDITTABLEPLUGIN_JSCALENDAR)
$header
- the HTML to be added to the section. The HTML must be valid in a HEAD tag - no checks are performed.
requires
optional, comma-separated list of id's of other head blocks this one depends on. Those blocks will be loaded first.
$header
will be expanded before being inserted into the
section.
Note that this is not the same as the HTTP header, which is modified through the Plugins modifyHeaderHandler

- The name of the variable, i.e. the 'MYVAR' part of %MYVAR%. The variable name must match /^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*$/ or it won't work.
\&fn
- Reference to the handler function.
$syntax
can be 'classic' (the default) or 'context-free'. 'classic' syntax is appropriate where you want the variable to support classic TWiki syntax i.e. to accept the standard %MYVAR{ "unnamed" param1="value1" param2="value2" }%
syntax, as well as an unquoted default parameter, such as %MYVAR{unquoted parameter}%
. If your variable will only use named parameters, you can use 'context-free' syntax, which supports a more relaxed syntax. For example, %MYVAR{param1=value1, value 2, param3="value 3", param4='value 5"}%
sub handler(\%session, \%params, $topic, $web)where:
\%session
- a reference to the TWiki session object (may be ignored)
\%params
- a reference to a TWiki::Attrs object containing parameters. This can be used as a simple hash that maps parameter names to values, with _DEFAULT being the name for the default parameter.
$topic
- name of the topic in the query

- name of the web in the query
$meta
- topic meta-data to use while expanding, can be undef (Since TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.4)

%EXEC{"ps -Af" silent="on"}%
Registered tags differ from tags implemented using the old TWiki approach (text substitution in commonTagsHandler
) in the following ways: commonTagsHandler
is only called later, when all system tags have already been expanded (though they are expanded again after commonTagsHandler
returns).
FRED
defines both %FRED{...}%
and also %FRED%
.
return '%SERVERTIME%';

$alias
- The name .
\&fn
- Reference to the function.
sub handler(\%session)where:
\%session
- a reference to the TWiki session object (may be ignored)
TWiki::Func::registerRESTHandler('example', \&restExample);This adds the
restExample
function to the REST dispatch table
for the EmptyPlugin under the 'example' alias, and allows it
to be invoked using the URL
http://server:port/bin/rest/EmptyPlugin/example
note that the URL
http://server:port/bin/rest/EmptyPlugin/restExample
(ie, with the name of the function instead of the alias) will not work.
\&fn
- Reference to the function.
sub handler(\%session, $url) -> (\@headers, \%params)where:
\%session
- a reference to the TWiki session object (may be ignored)
$url
- a URL being requested
\@headers
and \%params
are added to the request in the same
manner as getExternalResource
, except that \%params
will not override any
entries that have been set earlier.
All the params explicitly given by the caller of getExternalResource
or
postExternalResource
will have the highest precedence.
Example:
sub initPlugin { TWiki::Func::registerExternalHTTPHandler( \&handleExternalHTTPRequest ); } sub handleExternalHTTPRequest { my ($session, $url) = @_; my @headers; my %params; # Add any necessary @headers and %params push @headers, 'X-Example-Header' => 'Value'; $params{timeout} = 5; # Return refs to both return (\@headers, \%params); }Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 6.00
format
parameters that are used to block evaluation of paramater strings.
For example, if you were to write
%MYTAG{format="%WURBLE%"}%
then %WURBLE would be expanded before %MYTAG is evaluated. To avoid
this TWiki uses escapes in the format string. For example:
%MYTAG{format="$percntWURBLE$percnt"}%
This lets you enter arbitrary strings into parameters without worrying that
TWiki will expand them before your plugin gets a chance to deal with them
properly. Once you have processed your tag, you will want to expand these
tokens to their proper value. That's what this function does.
Escape: | Expands To: |
---|---|
$n or $n() |
New line. Use $n() if followed by alphanumeric character, e.g. write Foo$n()Bar instead of Foo$nBar |

files_without_match
- true to return files only (default false). If files_without_match
is specified, it will return on the first match in each topic (i.e. it will return only one match per topic, and will not return matching lines).

Escape special characters to HTML numeric entities. This is not a generic
encoding, it is tuned specifically for use in TWiki.
HTML4.0 spec:
"Certain characters in HTML are reserved for use as markup and must be
escaped to appear literally. The "<" character may be represented with
an entity, <. Similarly, ">"
is escaped as >, and "&" is escaped
as &. If an attribute value contains a
double quotation mark and is delimited by double quotation marks, then the
quote should be escaped as ".
Other entities exist for special characters that cannot easily be entered
with some keyboards..."
This method encodes HTML special and any non-printable ASCII
characters (except for \n and \r) using numeric entities.
FURTHER this method also encodes characters that are special in TWiki
meta-language.
$extras is an optional param that may be used to include additional
characters in the set of encoded characters. It should be a string
containing the additional chars.

URL encoded text
Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 6.00
Encoding is done by converting characters that are illegal in
URLs to their %NN equivalents. This method is used for encoding
strings that must be embedded verbatim in URLs; it cannot
be applied to URLs themselves, as it escapes reserved
characters such as = and ?.
RFC 1738, Dec. '94:
...Only alphanumerics [0-9a-zA-Z], the special characters $-_.+!*'(), and reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used unencoded within a URL.Reserved characters are $&+,/:;=?@ - these are also encoded by this method. This URL-encoding handles all character encodings including ISO-8859-*, KOI8-R, EUC-* and UTF-8. This may not handle EBCDIC properly, as it generates an EBCDIC URL-encoded URL, but mainframe web servers seem to translate this outbound before it hits browser - see CGI::Util::escape for another approach.

version in which the handler was first deprecated. For example, if we need to define the endRenderingHandler
for compatibility with TWiki::Plugins
versions before 1.1, we would add this to the plugin:
package TWiki::Plugins::SinkPlugin; use vars qw( %TWikiCompatibility ); $TWikiCompatibility{endRenderingHandler} = 1.1;If the currently-running TWiki version is 1.1 or later, then the handler will not be called and the warning will not be issued. TWiki with versions of
TWiki::Plugins
before 1.1 will still call the handler as required.
The following functions are retained for compatibility only. You should
stop using them as soon as possible.
getScriptUrl
instead.
Return: $path
URL path of TWiki scripts, e.g. "/cgi-bin"
WARNING: you are strongly recommended not to use this function, as the
{ScriptUrlPaths} URL rewriting rules will not apply to urls generated
using it.
Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.000 (7 Dec 2002)
$web
- Web name, e.g. 'Main'
. The current web is taken if empty
$topic
- Topic name, e.g. 'WebNotify'
$template
- Oops template name, e.g. 'oopsmistake'
. The 'oops' is optional; 'mistake' will translate to 'oopsmistake'.
$param1
... $param4
- Parameter values for %PARAM1% ... %PARAMn% variables in template, optional
$url
URL, e.g. "http://example.com:80/cgi-bin/oops.pl/ Main/WebNotify?template=oopslocked¶m1=joe"
DEPRECATED since 1.1, the recommended approach is to throw an oops exception.
use Error qw( :try ); throw TWiki::OopsException( 'toestuckerror', web => $web, topic => $topic, params => [ 'I got my toe stuck' ]);(this example will use the
oopstoestuckerror
template.)
If this is not possible (e.g. in a REST handler that does not trap the exception)
then you can use getScriptUrl
instead:
my $url = TWiki::Func::getScriptUrl($web, $topic, 'oops', template => 'oopstoestuckerror', param1 => 'I got my toe stuck'); TWiki::Func::redirectCgiQuery( undef, $url ); return 0;Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.000 (7 Dec 2002)
$web
- Web name, required, e.g. 'Sandbox'
getPreferencesValue
instead to determine
what permissions are set on the web, for example:
foreach my $type ( 'ALLOW', 'DENY' ) { foreach my $action ( 'CHANGE', 'VIEW' ) { my $pref = $type . 'WEB' . $action; my $val = getPreferencesValue( $pref, $web ) || ''; if( $val =~ /\S/ ) { print "$pref is set to $val on $web\n"; } } }
getListOfWebs
instead.
Get list of all public webs, e.g. all webs that do not have the NOSEARCHALL
flag set in the WebPreferences
Return: @webs
List of all public webs, e.g. ( 'Main', 'Know', 'TWiki' )
Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.000 (07 Dec 2002)
formatTime
instead.
Format the time to GM time $time
- Time in epoc seconds
$format
- Format type, optional. Default e.g. '31 Dec 2002 - 19:30'
, can be 'iso'
(e.g. '2002-12-31T19:30Z'
), 'rcs'
(e.g. '2001/12/31 23:59:59'
, 'http'
for HTTP header format (e.g. 'Thu, 23 Jul 1998 07:21:56 GMT'
)
$text
Formatted time string
Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.000 (7 Dec 2002)
$dir
Data directory, e.g. '/twiki/data'
This function violates store encapsulation and is therefore deprecated.
Since: TWiki::Plugins::VERSION 1.000 (07 Dec 2002)
$dir/Web/TopicName
Return: $dir
Pub directory, e.g. '/htdocs/twiki/pub'
This function violates store encapsulation and is therefore deprecated.
Use readAttachment
and saveAttachment
instead.

twiki/bin
and twiki/tools
directories. This topic describes the interfaces to some of those scripts. All scripts in the twiki/bin
directory can be called from the CGI (Common Gateway Interface) environment or from the command line. The scripts in the twiki/tools
directory can only be called from the command line.
twiki/bin
directory.
guest
).
twiki/bin
directory on the perl path to run the scripts from the command line. To avoid issues with file permissions, run the scripts as the web server user such as nobody
or www
.
Parameters are passed on the command line using '-name' - for example,
$ cd /usr/local/twiki/bin $ save -topic MyWeb.MyTopic -user admin -action save -text "New text of the topic"All parameters require a value, even if that is the empty string.
Parameter | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
topic |
If this is set to a URL, TWiki will immediately redirect to that URL. Otherwise it overrides the URL and is taken as the topic name (you can pass Web.TopicName) | |
user |
Command-line only; set the name of the user performing the action. Note: this usage is inherently insecure, as it bypasses webserver login constraints. For this reason only authorized users should be allowed to execute scripts from the command line. | |
skin |
Overrides the default skin path (see TWikiSkins) | |
cover |
Specifies temporary skin path to prepend to the skin path for this script only (see TWikiSkins) |
attach
upload
. This script is part of the transactions sequence executed when a file is uploaded from the browser. it just generates the "new attachment" page for a topic.
Parameter | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
filename |
Name of existing attachment (if provided, this is a "manage attachment" action) | none (in which case this is a "new attachment" action) |
changes
changes
script can receive one parameter:
Parameter | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
minor |
If 0, show only major changes. If 1, show all the changes (both minor and major) | 0 |
%SEARCH%
, while this script reads the changes
file in each web, making it much faster.
Note: The result from changes
script and the topic WebChanges can be different, if the changes
file is deleted from a web. In particular, in new installations the changes
script will return no results while the WebChanges topic will.
configure
configure
is the browser script used for inspection and configuration of the TWiki configuration. None of the parameters to this script are useable for any purpose except configure
. See configure.

To edit the topic once the EDITACTION is defined as form simply remove the action=form from the browser URL of the edit script and reload the edit window |
|
onlynewtopic |
If set, error if topic already exists | |
onlywikiname |
If set, error if topic name is not a WikiWord | |

redirectto |
If the user continues from edit to save, and if the save (or cancels the edit) process is successful, save will redirect to this topic or URL. The parameter value can be a TopicName , a Web.TopicName , or a URL.Note: Redirect to a URL only works if it is enabled in configure (Security setup > Miscellaneous {AllowRedirectUrl} ). |
|
t |
Provide a unique URL each time a topic is edited, typically specifying parameter t=%SERVERTIME{$epoch}% in an edit link. This is done to prevent browsers from caching an edit session, which could result in editing outdated content. The parameter name and value is arbitrary, but must be unique each time. |

mdrepo
rest
TWiki::Func::registerRESTHandler
method. The rest
script will print the result directly to the browser unless the endPoint
parameter is specified, in which case it will output a redirect to the given topic.
The rest
script supports the following parameters:
username |
If TemplateLogin , or a similar login manager not embedded in the web server, is used, then you need to pass a username and password to the server. The username and password parameters are used for this purpose. |
password |
See username |
topic |
If defined as the full name (including web) of a topic, then when the script starts up plugins will be passed this as the "current" topic. If not defined, then Main.WebHome will be passed to plugins. |
endPoint |
Where to redirect the response once the request is served, in the form "Web.Topic" |
rest
script should always require authentication in any TWiki that has logins. Otherwise there is a risk of opening up major security holes. So make sure you add it to the list of authenticated scripts if you are using ApacheLogin
.
rest
script assumes that it will be called with URL in the form:
http://my.host/bin/rest/<subject>/<verb>
where <subject>
must be the WikiWord name of one of the installed TWikiPlugins, and the <verb>
is the alias for the function registered using the TWiki::Func::registerRESTHandler
method. The <subject>
and <verb>
are then used to lookup and call the registered function.
<subject>
and <verb>
are checked for illegal characters exactly in the same way as the web and topic names.
As an example, the EmptyPlugin has registered a function to be used with the rest
script under the subject EmptyPlugin and the verb example. Click below to see the rest
script in action (run as TWikiGuest).
Call the Plugin
Note that for Plugins to register REST handlers, they must be enabled in configure
.

statistics
Parameter | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
webs |
comma-separated list of webs to run stats on | all accessible webs |
logdate |
YYYYMM to generate statistics for | current month |
upload
multipart/form-data
format.
Parameter | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
hidefile |
if defined, will not show file in attachment table | |
filepath |
local (client) path name of the file being uploaded. This is used to look up the data for the file in the HTTP query. | |
filename |
deprecated, do not use | |
filecomment |
Comment to associate with file in attachment table | |
createlink |
if defined, will create a link to file at end of topic | |
changeproperties |
if defined, this is a property change operation only - no file will be uploaded. | null |
updatefield |
If defined and if the value matches the name of a form field, it will update that form field with the name of the uploaded file. |
curl
to upload files from the command line using this script.
Note: The upload
script can only be called via http POST method, not GET.
view
Parameter | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
raw=on |
Shows the text of the topic in a scrollable textarea | |
raw=debug |
As raw=on , but also shows the metadata (forms etc) associated with the topic. |
|
raw=text |
Shows only the source of the topic, as plain text (Content-type: text/plain). Only shows the body text, not the form or other meta-data. | |
raw=expandvariables |
Similar to raw=text but TWiki variables are expanded. |
|
raw=all |
Shows only the source of the topic, as plain text (Content-type: text/plain), with embedded meta-data. This may be useful if you want to extract the source of a topic to a local file on disc. | |
section |
Allows to view only a part of the topic delimited by a named section (see VarSTARTSECTION). If the given section is not present, no topic content is displayed. | |
contenttype |
Allows you to specify a different Content-Type: (e.g. contenttype=text/plain ) |
|
rev |
Revision to view (e.g. rev=45 ) |
|
template |
Allows you to specify a different skin template, overriding the 'view' template the view script would normally use. The default template is view . For example, you could specify /wiki/bin/view/TWiki/TWikiScripts?template=edit. This is mainly useful when you have specialized templates for a TWiki Application. |
|
topic |
redirects to show the specified Web.Topic, or, redirects to a URL, if allowed by {AllowRedirectUrl} and {PermittedRedirectHostUrls} configure settings |
|
createifnotexist |
If createifnotexist is set to 1 and in case the topic does not exist, it is created automatically on view. Useful to create topics automatically based on a specific template (see example below). Behind the scene, the view script redirects first to the save script, passing along all URL parameters. Thus all URL parameters of the save script can be used, such as templatetopic , topicparent and redirectto . Next, the save script creates the topic and redirects back to the view script (or displays an error in case there were any issues creating the topic). |
|
extralog |
Add additional text to TWiki log, next to the user agent string. Useful to log actions by cache scripts and crawlers. |
createifnotexist
to link to the bookmark page of a user, and to create the page on the fly if needed:[[%SCRIPTURL{view}%/%USERSWEB%/%WIKINAME%Bookmarks?createifnotexist=1&templatetopic=%SYSTEMWEB%.UserBookmarksTemplate&topicparent=%WIKINAME%][Bookmarks]]
For historical reasons, the view
script has a special interpretation of the text
skin. In earlier TWiki versions the skin=text
parameter was used like this:
http://.../view/MyWeb/MyTopic?skin=text&contenttype=text/plain&raw=on
which shows the topic as plain text; useful for those who want to download plain text for the topic.
Using skin=text
this way is DEPRECATED, use raw=text
instead.
viewfile
pub
) directory using a URL. However if it contains sensitive information, you will want to protect attachments using TWikiAccessControls. In this case, you can use the viewfile
script to give access to attachments while still checking access controls.
Parameter | Description | Default |
---|---|---|
filename |
name of attachment | |
rev |
Revision to view |
filename
parameter, you can append the attachment name
to the end of the URL path (after the topic) e.g. https://wiki.appx.com/wiki/bin/viewfile/Webname/TopicName/Attachment.gif
twiki/tools
directory.
geturl.pl
wget
and curl
commands. geturl.pl <host> <path> [<port> [<header>]]
geturl.pl some.domain /some/dir/file.html 80
http://some.domain:80/some/dir/file.html
rewriteshebang.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
shebang lines specific to your local Perl installation. It will rewrite the first line of all your TWiki cgi scripts so they use a different shebang line. Use it if your perl is in a non-standard location, or you want to use a different interpreter (such as 'speedy').
tick_twiki.pl
0 0 * * 0 cd /usr/twiki/bin && perl ../tools/tick_twiki.pl
Note: The script has to be run by a user who can write files created by the webserver user.

is called by a background process at regular intervals. The script sends an automated e-mail to subscribed users if topics were changed in a web since the script was last run.
%NOTIFYTOPIC%
*
subscriber [ :
topics ]
Where subscriber can be a WikiName, an E-mail address, or a
group name. If subscriber contains any characters that are not legal in
an email address, then it must be enclosed in 'single' or "double" quotes. Please note that the guest user TWikiGuest does not have an email address mapped to it, and will never receive email regardless of the configuration of that user.
topics is an optional space-separated list of topics:
*
in a topic name, where it is treated as a wildcard character. A *
will match zero or more other characters - so, for example, Fred*
will match all topic names starting with Fred
, *Fred
will match all topic names ending with Fred
, and *
will match all topic names.
* daisy.cutter@flowers.comSubscribe Daisy to all changes to topics that start with
Web
.
* daisy.cutter@flowers.com : Web*Subscribe Daisy to changes to topics starting with
Petal
, and their immediate children, WeedKillers and children to a depth of 3, and all topics that match start with Pretty
and end with Flowers
e.g. PrettyPinkFlowers
* DaisyCutter: Petal* (1) WeedKillers (3) Pretty*FlowersSubscribe StarTrekFan to changes to all topics that start with
Star
except those that end in Wars
, sInTheirEyes
or shipTroopers
.
* StarTrekFan: Star* - *Wars - *sInTheirEyes - *shipTroopersSubscribe Daisy to the full content of NewsLetter whenever it has changed
* daisy@flowers.com: NewsLetter?Subscribe buttercup to NewsLetter and its immediate children, even if it hasn't changed.
* buttercup@flowers.com: NewsLetter! (1)Subscribe GardenGroup (which includes Petunia) to all changed topics under AllnewsLetters to a depth of 3. Then unsubscribe Petunia from the ManureNewsLetter, which she would normally get as a member of GardenGroup:
* GardenGroup: AllNewsLetters? (3) * petunia@flowers.com: - ManureNewsLetterSubscribe
IT:admins
(a non-TWiki group defined by a custom user mapping) to all changes to Web* topics.
* 'IT:admins' : Web*In addition to single quotes ('), double quotes (") do the same job for a non-TWiki group. A user may be listed many times in the WebNotify topic. Where a user has several lines in WebNotify that all match the same topic, they will only be notified about changes that topic once (though they will still receive individual mails for news topics). If a group is listed for notification, the group will be recursively expanded to the e-mail addresses of all members. Warning: Because an email address is not linked to a user name, there is no way for TWiki to check access controls for subscribers identified by email addresses. A subscriber identified by an email address alone will only be sent change notifications if the topic they are subscribed to is readable by guest users. You can limit what email addresses can be used in WebNotify, or even block use of emails altogether, using the
{MailerContrib}{EmailFilterIn} setting in =configure
.
Tip: List names in alphabetical order to make it easier to find the names.
Note for System Administrators: Notification is supported by an add-on to the TWiki kernel called the MailerContrib. See the MailerContrib topic for details of how to set up this service.
Note: If you prefer a news feed, point your reader to WebRss (for RSS 1.0 feeds) or WebAtom (for ATOM 1.0 feeds). Learn more at WebRssBase and WebAtomBase, respectively.
You can also use %USERSWEB%
instead of Main
, but this is not necessary even if you have renamed the main web by configuring {MainWebName}
in configure.
SEARCH
. The number of topics listed by the limit
parameter.:
%SEARCH{ ".*" web="TWiki" type="regex" nosearch="on" sort="modified" reverse="on" limit="50" }%
%SEARCH{}%
.
SEARCH
:
%SEARCH{ "\.*" scope="topic" type="regex" nosearch="on" }%
%STATISTICSTOPIC%
TWiki also generates overall site usage statistics in Main.SiteStatistics (do not create that page, it is created automatically based on SiteStatisticsTemplate). On a monthly basis, the following items are recorded using system data and TWiki log data across all webs: Number of webs, number of topics, number of attachments, number of topic views, number of topic updates, number of files uploads, data size, pub size, disk use, number of users, number of groups, number of plugins installed compared to total number of plugins available, and the 10 top contributors.
{Log}{view}
, {Log}{save}
and {Log}{upload}
are set in configure. This will generate log file entries (see below).
twiki/bin/statistics
script from a cron job - once a day is recommended. This will update the SiteStatistics and the WebStatistics topics in all webs.
nobody
or www-data
. Example crontab entry: 0 0 * * * (cd /path/to/twiki/bin; ./statistics >/dev/null 2>&1)
nobody
: Run the utility twiki/tools/geturl.pl
in your cron job and specify the URL of the twiki/bin/statistics
script as a parameter. Example: 0 0 * * * (cd /path/to/twiki/tools; ./geturl.pl mydomain.com /urlpath/to/twiki/bin/statistics >/dev/null 2>&1)
geturl.pl
will do a TWiki CGI request as the TWikiGuest user, so if you use this workaround, the WebStatistics topics you are updating will have to be writable by TWikiGuest.
cd twiki/bin; ./statistics -logdate 2011-05 -webs TWiki,Sandbox
{Stats}{DisableInvocationFromBrowser}
config parameter is false (it's false in this installation), the twiki/bin/statistics
script can also be executed as a CGI script - just enter the URL in your browser. Examples: /wiki/bin/statistics
/wiki/bin/statistics/Main
/wiki/bin/statistics/Main?logdate=2024-10

{Stats}{Breakdown}
configuration papameter true by putting the following line in lib/LocalSite.cfg

{Stats}{ExcludedWebRegex}
config parameter as follows.
$TWiki::cfg{Stats}{ExcludedWebRegex} = '^(Trash(x\d+x)?\d*|Sandbox\d*)\b';You may wonder when this is needed. There are webs not worth updating WebStatistics such as the Trash web. When a web is deleted, it becomes a subweb of the Trash web. By default, not only the Trash web but also subwebs of the Trash web are subject to WebStatistics update. On a large TWiki site, you may have dozens of Trash webs - you may rotate Trash webs and you may be UsingMultipleDisks (each disk requires its own Trash - e.g. Trashx1x and Trashx2x). If you have Trash, Trash1, ..., Trash10 for rotation and if you use 3 disks for TWiki, you end up having 33 Trashes.
statistics
script every day, you increase the revision of each WebStatistics by one every day. If a topic has hundreds of revision, some operations such as getting the original creator of the topic takes long.
There is an option to prevent the boundless growth of WebStatistics.
If you set $TWiki::cfg{Stats}{TopicPerYear}
true, the statistics
script writes the result to WebStatisticsYYYY where YYYY is the current year (e.g. WebStatistics2024) instead of WebStatistics. The parameter is false by default. {Stats}{TopicPerYear}
to true but before you run the statistics
script, you should run twiki/tools/switch2yearlystats
to rename WebStatistics of all webs to WebStatisticsYYYY of the year. In case WebStatistics is not in the same format as its current template, it's renamed to WebStatistics0000.
{Stats}{TopicPerYear}
is true: twiki/tools/switch2yearlystats
renames Main.SiteStatistics to Main.SiteStatisticsYYYY of the year or Main.SiteStatistics0000.
statistics
script doesn't work well.
By running tools/convert_stats_twiki6
after upgrade, all statistics topics are converted for the current version of statistics
.
{Stats}{SiteTopContrib}
.
Prior to TWiki 6.0, it was specified by {Stats}{TopContrib}
.
If you have a custom {Stats}{TopContrib}
value, you need to set {Stats}{SiteTopContrib}
as well. Otherwise, the number of "Top Contributors" on SiteStatistics becomes the default value, which is 10.

Net::SMTP
module if it is installed on your system. Set this with the {SMTP}{MAILHOST}
setting in configure.
{SMTP}{SENDERHOST}
configure setting to set the mail sender host - some SMTP installations require this.
$ sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_sendmail on
$ sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect on
sendmail
, if the Net::SMTP
module is not installed or not functioning properly. Set the program path in {MailProgram}
and set {SMTP}{MAILHOST}
to an empty value in configure.
The notify e-mail uses the default changes.tmpl
template, or a skin if activated in the TWikiPreferences.
mailnotify also relies on two hidden files in each twiki/data/Web
directory: .changes
and .mailnotify.
Make sure both are writable by your web server process. .changes
contains a list of changes; go ahead and make this empty. .mailnotify
contains a timestamp of the last time notification was done.
cron
table so that mailnotify
is called in an interval of your choice. Please consult man crontab
of how to modify the table that schedules program execution at certain intervals. Example:
% crontab -e 0 1 * * * (cd /path/to/twiki; perl -I bin tools/mailnotify -q)The above line will run mailnotify nightly at 01:00. The
-q
switch suppresses all normal output. Details at MailerContrib.
For ISP installations: Many ISPs don't allow hosted accounts direct cron access, as it's often used for things that can heavily load the server. Workaround scripts are available.
On Windows: You can use a scheduled task if you have administrative privileges. TWiki:Codev/CronTabWin is a free scheduler for Windows.

from all groups and from all the ALLOWWEB/ALLOWTOPIC...
declarations, if any.templates/registerconfirm.tmpl
templates/registernotify.tmpl
templates/registernotifyadmin.tmpl
templates
dir, this cannot use Template topics.
These template files have a specific format that matches the raw format of emails sent via SMTP, so be careful and test your changes. It is easiest to start by copying the default templates:
cd twiki/templates cp registernotify.tmpl registernotify.myskin.tmpl cp registerconfirm.tmpl registerconfirm.myskin.tmpl cp registernotifyadmin.tmpl registernotifyadmin.myskin.tmplthen add
myskin
to the beginning of the SKIN
setting in TWikiPreferences.
From this point on, your myskin templates will be used for the registration emails.
To make it possible for TWikiUsers to modify the email contents, you could use a parameterized %INCLUDE%
statement in your customized version. e.g.:
From: %WIKIWEBMASTERNAME% <%WIKIWEBMASTER%> To: %FIRSTLASTNAME% <%EMAILADDRESS%> Subject: %MAKETEXT{"[_1] - Registration for [_2] ([_3])" args="%WIKITOOLNAME%, %WIKINAME%, %EMAILADDRESS%"}% MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=%CHARSET% Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit %INCLUDE{ "Main.RegistrationNotification" WIKINAME="%WIKINAME%" FIRSTLASTNAME="%FIRSTLASTNAME%" EMAILADDRESS="%EMAILADDRESS%" }%Note: The use of %WIKINAME%, %FIRSTLASTNAME%, %EMAILADDRESS% passed in from the INCLUDE so that the topic below is similar to the original template. And then create a topic Main.RegisterNotifyEmail:
Welcome to %WIKITOOLNAME%. %MAKETEXT{"Your personal [_1] topic is located at [_2]. You can customize it as you like:" args="%WIKITOOLNAME%, %SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%USERSWEB%/%WIKINAME%"}% * %MAKETEXT{"Some people turn it into a personal portal with favorite links, what they work on, what help they'd like, etc."}% * %MAKETEXT{"Some add schedule information and vacation notice."}% Regards %WIKIWEBMASTERNAME% Your TWiki Admin %MAKETEXT{"Note:"}% 2 %MAKETEXT{"You can change your password at via [_1]" args="%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%SYSTEMWEB%/ChangePassword"}% 3 %MAKETEXT{"If you haven't set a password yet or you want to reset it, go to: [_1]" args="%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%SYSTEMWEB%/ResetPassword"}% %MAKETEXT{"Submitted content:"}% %FORMDATA%Note: Remember to secure the topic appropriately to prevent attackers from getting emailed sensitive passwords.

.
{SiteLocale}
setting in configure - this enables you to have a slightly different spelling of the character set in the server locale (e.g. 'eucjp') and the HTTP header sent to the browser (e.g. 'euc-jp').
This feature should also support use of Mozilla Browser with TWiki:Codev.TWikiOnMainframe (as long as mainframe web server can convert or pass through UTF-8 URLs) - however, this specific combination is not tested. Other browser-server combinations should not have any problems.
Please note that use of UTF-8 as the site character set is not yet supported - see Phase 2 of TWiki:Codev.ProposedUTF8SupportForI18N for plans and work to date in this area.
This feature is complete in TWiki releases newer than February 2004.
Note for skin developers: is no longer required (TWiki:Plugins.InternationalisingYourSkin).

{SiteLocale}
setting in configure - this enables you to have a slightly different spelling of the character set in the server locale (e.g. 'eucjp') and the HTTP header sent to the browser (e.g. 'euc-jp').
This feature should also support use of Mozilla Browser with TWiki:Codev.TWikiOnMainframe (as long as mainframe web server can convert or pass through UTF-8 URLs) - however, this specific combination is not tested. Other browser-server combinations should not have any problems.
Please note that use of UTF-8 as the site character set is not yet supported - see Phase 2 of TWiki:Codev.ProposedUTF8SupportForI18N for plans and work to date in this area.
This feature is complete in TWiki releases newer than February 2004.
Note for skin developers: is no longer required (TWiki:Plugins.InternationalisingYourSkin).
