Authentication vs. Access ControlAuthentication: Identifies who a user is based on a login procedure. See TWikiUserAuthentication. Access control: Restrict access to content based on users and groups once a user is identified.Users and GroupsAccess control is based on the familiar concept of Users and Groups. Users are defined by their WikiNames. They can then be organized in unlimited combinations by inclusion in one or more user Groups. For convenience, Groups can also be included in other Groups.Managing UsersA user can create an account in TWikiRegistration. The following actions are performed:
Managing GroupsThe following describes the standard TWiki support for groups. Your local TWiki may have an alternate group mapping manager installed. Check with your TWiki administrator if you are in doubt. Groups are defined by group topics located in theMain web. To create a new group, visit TWikiGroups and enter the name of the new group ending in Group into the "new group" form field. This will create a new group topic with two important settings:
The Super Admin GroupA number of TWiki functions (for example, renaming webs) are only available to administrators. Administrators are simply users who belong to the SuperAdminGroup. This is a standard user group, the name of which is defined by {SuperAdminGroup} setting in configure. The default name of this group is theTWikiAdminGroup . The system administrator may have chosen a different name for this group if your local TWiki uses an alternate group mapping manager but for simplicity we will use the default name TWikiAdminGroup in the rest of this topic.
You can create new administrators simply by adding them to the TWikiAdminGroup topic. For example,
Restricting AccessYou can define who is allowed to read or write to a web or a topic. Note that some plugins may not respect access permissions.
Controlling access to a WebYou can define restrictions on who is allowed to view a TWiki web. You can restrict access to certain webs to selected Users and Groups, by:
ALLOWWEBVIEW set, this will also apply to the subweb. Also note that you will need to ensure that the parent web's FINALPREFERENCES does not include the access control settings listed above. Otherwise you will not be able override the parent web's access control settings in sub-webs.
Creation and renaming of sub-webs is controlled by the WEBCHANGE setting on the parent web (or ROOTCHANGE for root webs). Renaming is additionally restricted by the setting of WEBRENAME in the web itself.
Note: If you restrict access to the Main, make sure to add the TWikiRegistrationAgent so that users can register. Example:
Controlling access to a Topic
Controlling access to AttachmentsAttachments are referred to directly, and are not normally indirected via TWiki scripts. This means that the above instructions for access control will not apply to attachments. It is possible that someone may inadvertently publicise a URL that they expected to be access-controlled. The easiest way to apply the same access control rules for attachments as apply to topics is to use the Apachemod_rewrite module, and configure your webserver to redirect accesses to attachments to the TWiki viewfile script. For example,
ScriptAlias /twiki/bin/ /filesystem/path/to/twiki/bin/ Alias /twiki/pub/ /filesystem/path/to/twiki/pub/ RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/+twiki/+pub/+TWiki/+.+ RewriteRule ^/+twiki/+pub/+([^/]+)/+((([^/]+)/+)+)(.+) /twiki/bin/viewfile/$1/$4?filename=$5 [L,PT]That way all the controls that apply to the topic also apply to attachments to the topic. Other types of webserver have similar support. Note: Images embedded in topics will load much slower since each image will be delivered by the viewfile script.
Controlling who can manage top-level websTop level webs are a special case, because they don't have a parent web with a WebPreferences. So there has to be a special control just for the root level.
ROOTCHANGE access to rename an existing top-level web. You just need WEBCHANGE in the web itself.
How TWiki evaluates ALLOW/DENY settingsWhen deciding whether to grant access, TWiki evaluates the following rules in order (read from the top of the list; if the logic arrives at PERMITTED or DENIED that applies immediately and no more rules are applied). You need to read the rules bearing in mind that VIEW, CHANGE and RENAME access may be granted/denied separately.
Access control and INCLUDEALLOWTOPICVIEW and ALLOWTOPICCHANGE only applies to the topic in which the settings are defined. If a topic A includes another topic B, topic A does not inherit the access rights of the included topic B. Examples: Topic A includes topic B
Access Control quick recipesObfuscating WebsAnother way of hiding webs is to keep them hidden by not publishing the URL and by preventing theall webs search option from accessing obfuscated webs. Do so by enabling the NOSEARCHALL variable in WebPreferences:
Restrict Access to Whole TWiki SiteFor a firewalled TWiki, e.g. an intranet wiki or extranet wiki, you want to allow only invited people to access your TWiki. In this case, enable user authentication with ApacheLogin and lock down access to the wholetwiki/bin and twiki/pub directories to all but valid users. In the Apache .htaccess file or the appropriate .conf file, replace the <FilesMatch "(attach|edit|... section with this:
<FilesMatch ".*"> require valid-user </FilesMatch>If needed, you can further restrict access to selected webs with ALLOWWEBVIEW and other access control settings. Note: With this configuration, someone with access to the site needs to register new users. Authenticate all Webs and Restrict Selected WebsUse the following setup to authenticate users for topic viewing in all webs and to restrict access to selected webs. Requires TWikiUserAuthentication to be enabled.
Authenticate and Restrict Selected Webs OnlyUse the following setup to provide unrestricted viewing access to open webs, with authentication only on selected webs. Requires TWikiUserAuthentication to be enabled.
Hide Control SettingsTip: To hide access control settings from normal browser viewing, you can put them into the topic preference settings by clicking the linkEdit topic preference settings under More topic actions menu. Preferences set in this manner are not visible in the topic text, but take effect nevertheless. Access control settings added as topic preference settings are stored in the topic meta data and they override settings defined in the topic text.
Alternatively, place them in HTML comment markers, but this exposes the access setting during ordinary editing.
Back to top TWiki Text FormattingWorking in TWiki is as easy as typing in text. You don't need to know HTML, though you can use it if you prefer. Links to topics are created automatically when you enter WikiWords. And TWiki shorthand gives you all the power of HTML with a simple coding system that takes no time to learn. It's all laid out below.TWiki Editing Shorthand
Using HTMLYou can use most HTML tags in TWiki topics without a problem. This is useful where you want to add some content that is formatted in a way that is not supported using TWiki shorthand, for example, you can write<strike>deleted text</strike> to get
HyperlinksBeing able to create links without any special formatting is a core TWiki feature, made possible with WikiWords and inline URLs.Internal Links

TWiki VariablesTWiki Variables are names enclosed in percent signs that are that are expanded to some other text when the topic is displayed. For example,%TOPIC% is expanded to TWikiVariablesQuickStart.
Some variables can take arguments in curly braces - for example, %INCLUDE{"OtherTopic" ARG="arg"}% .
Many TWiki variables are built-in, and others are predefined for your convenience. You can also define your own
TWiki Variables at the entire site, individual web, or individual topic level. For more information,
go to TWikiVariables
TWiki Variables are fully expanded before any of the TWiki text formatting rules are applied.
Documentation Graphics: There are many graphics available to use in your topics. Use %ICON{"help"}% , %ICON{"tip"}% , and %ICON{"warning"}% to get: , , and , respectively. TWikiDocGraphics lists them all.
To "escape" a variable, prefix it with an exclamation mark. Write: !%SOMEVARIABLE% to get: %SOMEVARIABLE%.
TWikiPlugin Formatting ExtensionsPlugins can extend the functionality of TWiki into many other areas. There are a huge number of TWiki plugins available from the Plugins web on TWiki.org. Currently enabled plugins on this TWiki installation, as listed by%PLUGINDESCRIPTIONS% :
Common Editing ErrorsTWiki formatting rules are fairly simple to use and quick to type. However, there are some things to watch out for, taken from the TextFormattingFAQ:
TWiki VariablesSpecial text strings expand on the fly to display 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:
Using VariablesTo use a variable type its name. For example,
Variable NamesVariable names must start with a letter. The following characters can be letters, numbers and the underscore '_'. You can use both upper-case and lower-case letters and you can mix the characteres. E.g.%MYVAR% , %MyVar% , %My2ndVar% , and %My_Var% are all valid variable names. Variables are case sensitive. %MyVAR% and %MYVAR% are not the same variable.
By convention all settings, predefined variables and variables used by plugins 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:Spaces 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:Whatever you include in your Variable will be expanded on display, exactly as if it had been entered directly.* Set VARIABLENAME = value starts here and continues here Example: Create a custom logo variableYou can also set preferences variables on a topic by clicking the link Edit topic preference settings under More topic actions . Preferences set in this manner are not visible in the topic text, but take effect nevertheless.
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.

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="" .
SyntaxTwo parameters can be used to specify a customized search result: 1.

select
, checkbox
or radio
types from other topics:
Example:Field values can also be set using the result of expanding other TWiki variables. For example,
- In the WebForm topic, define the form:
Name Type Size Values Tooltip message Attributes TopicClassification select 1 blah blah... OperatingSystem checkbox 3 blah blah... OsVersion text 16 blah blah...
Leave theValues
field blank.
- Then in the TopicClassification topic, define the possible values:
| *Name* |
| NoDisclosure |
| Public Supported |
| Public FAQ |
Name NoDisclosure Public Supported Public FAQ
%SEARCH{"Office$" scope="topic" web="%USERSWEB%" nonoise="on" type="regex" format="$web.$topic" separator=", " }%
When used in the value field of the form definition, this will find all topic names in the Main web which end in "Office" and use them as the legal field values.
WEBFORMS
variable in WebPreferences is optional and defines a list of possible form templates.
Example:
- Set WEBFORMS = BugForm, FeatureForm, Books.BookLoanForm
WEBFORMS
enabled, an extra button is added to the edit view. If the topic doesn't have a Form, an Add Form button appears at the end of the topic. If a Form is present, a Change button appears in the top row of the Form. The buttons open a screen that enables selection of a form specified in WEBFORMS
, or the No form option.
SEARCH
to define WEBFORMS
.
WebTopicEditTemplate
topic in a web, or a new topic that serves as an application specific template topic. Initial Form values can be set there.
formtemplate
parameter in the (edit or save) URL. Initial values can then be provided in the URLs or as form values: name
, ex: ?BugPriority=1
namevalue=1
, ex: ?ColorRed=1
. <form name="newtopic" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"edit"}%/%WEB%/"> <input type="hidden" name="formtemplate" value="MyForm" /> New topic name <input type="text" name="topic" size="40" /> <input type="submit" class="twikiSubmit" value="Create" /> </form>
save
script instead of the edit
script in the form action. When you specify the save
script you have to use the "post" method. Example: <form name="newtopic" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{"save"}%/%WEB%/" method="post"> ..... </form>
edit
and save
scripts understand many more parameters, see TWikiScripts#edit and TWikiScripts#save for details.
Name
, Type
, Size
, Values
, Tooltip message
, and Attributes
.
The Name
, Type
and Size
columns are required. Other columns are optional. The form must have a header row (e.g. | *Name* | *Type* | *Size* |
).
Name
is the name of the form field.
The Type
, Size
and Value
fields describe the legal values for this field, and how to display them. Type
checkbox
specifies one or more checkboxes. The Size
field specifies how many checkboxes will be displayed on each line. The Value
field should be a comma-separated list of item labels. Type
checkbox+buttons
will add Set and Clear buttons to the basic checkbox
type.
Type
radio
is like checkbox
except that radio buttons are mutually exclusive; only one can be selected.
Type
label
specifies read-only label text. The Value
field should contain the text of the label.
Type
select
specifies a select box. The Value
field should contain a comma-separated list of options for the box. The Size
field can specify a fixed size for the box (e.g. 1
, or a range e.g. 3..10
. If you specify a range, then the box will never be smaller than 3 items, never larger than 10, and will be 5 high if there are only 5 options. select
type: select+multi
turns multiselect on for the select, to allow Shift+Click and Ctrl+Click to select (or deselect) multiple items.
select+values
allows the definition of values that are different to the displayed text. For example: | Field 9 | select+values | 5 | One, Two=2, Three=III, Four | Various values formats |shows but the values or options
Two
and Three
are 2
and III
respectively.select+multi+values
Type
text
specifies a one-line text field. Size
specifies the text box width in number of characters. Value
is the initial (default) content when a new topic is created with this form template.
Type
textarea
specifies a multi-line text box. The Size
field should specify columns x rows, e.g. 80x6
; default size is 40x5. As for text
, the Value
field specifies the initial text
Type
date
specifies a single-line text box and a button next to it; clicking on the button will bring up a calendar from which the user can select a date. The date can also be typed into the text box. Size
specifies the text box width in characters. As for text
, the Value
field specifies the initial text
Tooltip message
is a message that will be displayed when the cursor is hovered over the field in edit
view.
Attributes
specifies special attributes for the field. Multiple attributes can be entered, separated by spaces. H
indicates that this field should not be shown in view mode. However, the field is available for editing and storing information.
M
indicates that this field is mandatory. The topic cannot be saved unless a value is provided for this field. If the field is found empty during topic save, an error is raised and the user is redirected to an oops
page. Mandatory fields are indicated by an asterisks next to the field name.
| *Name* | *Type* | *Size* | | Name | text | 80 | | Date | date | 30 |Field Name Notes:

The AeroplaneManufacturers topic must contain a table, where each row of the table describes a possible value. The table only requires one column, Name
. Other columns may be present, but are ignored.
For example:
| *Name* | | Routan | | Focke-Wulf | | De Havilland |Notes:

SubmitExpenseReport
topic where you can create new expense reports, a SubmitVacationRequest
topic, and so on. These can specify the required template topic with its associated form. Template topics has more.
FORMFIELD
, SEARCH
and METASEARCH
variables in TWikiVariables, and TWiki Formatted Search.
ExampleSearching forms this way is obviously pretty inefficient, but it's easy to do. If you want better performance, take a look at some of the structured wiki extensions that support higher performance searching e.g. TWiki:Plugins.DBCachePlugin.
TWiki users often want to have an overview of topics they contributed to. With the$formfield
parameter it is easy to display the value of a classification field next to the topic link:| *Topic* | *Classification* | %SEARCH{"%USERSWEB%.UserName" scope="text" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="modified" reverse="on" format="|<b>[[$web.$topic][$topic]]</b> |<nop>$formfield(TopicClassification) |" web="Sandbox"}%
text
fields when a topic is saved. If you need linefeeds in a field, make sure it is a textarea
.
.tmpl
.
They are usually HTML with embedded template directives.
The directives are expanded when TWiki wants to generate a user interface screen.
%TMPL:<key>%
and %TMPL:<key>{"attr"}%
.
%TMPL:INCLUDE{"file"}%
: Includes a template file. The file is found as described below.
%TMPL:DEF{"block"}%
: Define a block. All text between this and the next %TMPL:END%
directive is removed and saved for later use with %TMPL:P
.
%TMPL:END%
: Ends a block definition.
%TMPL:P{"var"}%
: Includes a previously defined block.
%{...}%
: is a comment.
twiki.tmpl
master template, like twiki.print.tmpl
, that redefines the header and footer.
%TMPL:DEF{"x"}% x%P%z%TMPL:END%
then %TMPL:P{"x" P="y"}%
will expand to xyz
.
Note that parameters can simply be ignored; for example, %TMPL:P{"x"}%
will expand to x%P%z.
Any alphanumeric characters can be used in parameter names.
You are highly recommended to use parameter names that cannot be confused with TWikiVariables.
Note that three parameter names, context
, then
and else
are reserved.
They are used to support a limited form of "if" condition that you can use to select which of two templates to use, based on a context identifier:
%TMPL:DEF{"link_inactive"}%<input type="button" disabled value="Link>%TMPL:END% %TMPL:DEF{"link_active"}%<input type="button" onclick="link()" value="Link" />%TMPL:END% %TMPL:P{context="inactive" then="inactive_link" else="active_link"}% for %CONTEXT%When the "inactive" context is set, then this will expand the "link_inactive" template; otherwise it will expand the "link_active" template. See IfStatements for details of supported context identifiers.
twiki/templates/view.tmpl
is the default template file for the twiki/bin/view
script.
You can save templates in other directories as long as they are listed in the {TemplatePath}
configuration setting.
The {TemplatePath}
is defined in the Miscellaneous section of the configure page.
You can also save templates in user topics (IF there is no possible template match in the templates
directory).
The {TemplatePath}
configuration setting defines which topics will be accepted as templates.
Templates that are included with an explicit '.tmpl'
extension are looked for only in the templates/
directory.
For instance %TMPL:INCLUDE{"example.tmpl"}%
will only return templates/example.tmpl
, regardless of {TemplatePath}
and SKIN settings.
The out-of-the-box setting of {TemplatePath}
supports the following search order to determine which template file or topic to use for a particular script or %TMPL:INCLUDE{"script"}%
statement.
The skin path is set as described in TWikiSkins.
view
, edit
View
dragon
, pattern
. All skins are checked at each stage, in the order they appear in the skin path.
Dragon
example
template file will be searched for in the following places, when the current web is Thisweb
and the skin path is print,pattern
:
templates/Thisweb/example.print.tmpl
deprecated; don't rely on it
templates/Thisweb/example.pattern.tmpl
deprecated; don't rely on it

EDIT_TEMPLATE
sets the template for editing a topic.
view
and edit
respectively. The template search order is as specified above.
%TMPL:INCLUDE{"twiki"}%
, the templating system will include the next twiki.SKIN in the skin path.
For example, to create a customisation of pattern skin, where you only want to over-ride the breadcrumbs for the view script, you can create only a view.yourlocal.tmpl:
%TMPL:INCLUDE{"view"}% %TMPL:DEF{"breadcrumb"}% We don't want any crumbs %TMPL:END%and then set SKIN=yourlocal,pattern The default
{TemplatePath}
will not give you the desired result if you put these statements in the topic Thisweb.YourlocalSkinViewTemplate
. The default {TemplatePath}
will resolve the request to the template/view.pattern.tmpl
, before it gets to the Thisweb.YourlocalSkinViewTemplate
resolution. You can make it work by prefixing the {TemplatePath}
with: $web.YourlocalSkin$nameTemplate
.
twiki.tmpl
is the default master template. It defines the following sections.
Template variable: | Defines: |
---|---|
%TMPL:DEF{"sep"}% |
"|" separator |
%TMPL:DEF{"htmldoctype"}% |
Start of all HTML pages |
%TMPL:DEF{"standardheader"}% |
Standard header (ex: view, index, search) |
%TMPL:DEF{"simpleheader"}% |
Simple header with reduced links (ex: edit, attach, oops) |
%TMPL:DEF{"standardfooter"}% |
Footer, excluding revision and copyright parts |
Topic Name: | What it is: |
---|---|
WebTopicViewTemplate | Alert page shown when you try to view a nonexistent topic. This page is usually used as a prompt to help you create a new topic. |
WebTopicNonWikiTemplate | Alert page shown when you try to view a nonexistent topic with a non-WikiName. Again, this page is used as a prompt to help you create the new topic. |
WebTopicEditTemplate | Default text used in a new topic. |
<MyCustomNamed>Template | Whenever you create a topic ending in the word "Template", it is automatically added to the list of available templates in the "Use Template" drop down field on the WebCreateNewTopic page. |
edit
script, TWiki locates a topic to use as a content template according to the following search order: templatetopic
CGI parameter Variable: | Description: |
---|---|
%DATE% |
Signature format date. See VarDATE |
%GMTIME% |
Date/time. See VarGMTIME |
%GMTIME{...}% |
Formatted date/time. See VarGMTIME2 |
%NOP% |
A no-operation variable that gets removed. Useful to prevent a SEARCH from hitting an edit template topic; also useful to escape a variable, such as %URLPA%NOP%RAM{...}% escaping URLPARAM |
%STARTSECTION{type="templateonly"}% |
Text that gets removed when a new topic based on the template is created. See notes below. |
%SERVERTIME% |
Date/time. See VarSERVERTIME |
%SERVERTIME{...}% |
Formatted date/time. See VarSERVERTIME2 |
%USERNAME% |

%URLPARAM{"name"}% |
Value of a named URL parameter. See VarURLPARAM. |
%WIKINAME% |
WikiName of user who is instantiating the new topic, e.g. TWikiGuest |
%WIKIUSERNAME% |
User name of user who is instantiating the new tpoic, e.g. Main.TWikiGuest |
%STARTSECTION{type="templateonly"}% ... %ENDSECTION{type="templateonly"}%
section. For example, you might want to write this in the template topic:
%STARTSECTION{type="templateonly"}% This template can only be changed by: * Set ALLOWTOPICCHANGE = Main.TWikiAdminGroup %ENDSECTION{type="templateonly"}%This will restrict who can edit the template topic, but will be removed when a new topic based on that template topic is created.
%NOP%
can be used to prevent expansion of TWiki variables that would otherwise be expanded during topic creation. For example, escape %SERVERTIME%
with %SER%NOP%VERTIME%
.
type="expandvariables"
section in the template topic, such as:
...Example: If you have the following content in a template topic:
* %TWIKIWEB%.ATasteOfTWiki - view a short introductory presentation on TWiki for beginners * %TWIKIWEB%.WelcomeGuest - starting points on TWiki * %TWIKIWEB%.TWikiUsersGuide - complete TWiki documentation * Sandbox.%HOMETOPIC% - try out TWiki on your own * Sandbox.%TOPIC%Sandbox - just for meyou will get this raw text in new topics based on that template topic:

formtemplate
CGI parameter to the edit
script to specify the name of a form to attach.
See TWikiScripts for information about all the other parameters to edit
.
AUTOINC<n>
to the topic name in the edit and save scripts, and it will be replaced with an auto-incremented number on topic save. <n>
is a number starting from 0, and may include leading zeros. Leading zeros are used to zero-pad numbers so that auto-incremented topic names can sort properly. Deleted topics are not re-used to ensure uniqueness of topic names. That is, the auto-incremented number is always higher than the existing ones, even if there are gaps in the number sequence.
Examples: BugAUTOINC0
- creates topic names Bug0
, Bug1
, Bug2
, ... (does not sort properly)
ItemAUTOINC0000
- creates topic names Item0000
, Item0001
, Item0002
, ... (sorts properly up to 9999)
DocIDAUTOINC10001
- start with DocID10001
, DocID10002
, ... (sorts properly up to 99999; auto-links)
[[%SCRIPTURLPATH{edit}%/%WEB%/BugIDAUTOINC00001?templatetopic=BugTemplate;topicparent=%TOPIC%;t=%SERVERTIME{"$day$hour$min$sec"}%][Create new item]]
templatetopic
specifies ExampleTopicTemplate as the template topic to use. Here is the HTML source of the form:
<form name="new" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{edit}%/Sandbox/"> * New example topic: <input type="text" name="topic" value="ExampleTopicAUTOINC0001" size="30" /> <input type="hidden" name="templatetopic" value="ExampleTopicTemplate" /> <input type="hidden" name="topicparent" value="%TOPIC%" /> <input type="hidden" name="onlywikiname" value="on" /> <input type="hidden" name="onlynewtopic" value="on" /> <input type="submit" class="twikiSubmit" value="Create" /> </form>Note: You can create a topic in one step, without going through the edit screen. To do that, specify the
save
script instead of the edit
script in the form action. When you specify the save script you have to use the "post" method. Example:
<form name="new" action="%SCRIPTURLPATH{save}%/Sandbox/" method="post"> ... </form>The
edit
and save
scripts understand many more parameters, see TWikiScripts#edit and TWikiScripts#save for details.
TIP: You can use the %WIKIUSERNAME%
and %DATE%
variables in your topic templates to include the signature of the person creating a new topic. The variables are expanded into fixed text when a new topic is created. The standard signature is: -- %WIKIUSERNAME% - %DATE%
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 customise, 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 you are encouraged to show a small 80x31 pixel logo at the bottom of your skin:
<a href="http://twiki.org/"><img src="%PUBURL%/%SYSTEMWEB%/TWikiLogos/T-logo-80x15.gif" alt="This site is powered by the TWiki collaboration platform" width="80" height="15" title="This site is powered by the TWiki collaboration platform" border="0" /></a>
The standard TWiki skins show the logo in the %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.
%TMPL:INCLUDE{"twiki"}%
, the templating system will include the next twiki.SKIN in the skin path.
For example, to create a customisation 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
.
Because ClassicSkin and the default templates use the same Template definition names, you can over-ride the edit links in them (or any skin derived from them) using the same view.yourlocal.tmpl
(just set SKIN=yourlocal,classic either in TWikiPreferences for globally, or a Web's Webname.WebPreferences for a particular web)

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 "Go" 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
.
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
.

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 SHORTDESCRIPTION = Control attributes of tables and sorting of table columns
%<pluginname>_<var>%
, such as %TABLEPLUGIN_SHORTDESCRIPTION%
. They can also be redefined with the %<pluginname>_<var>%
setting at a lower level in the Main.TWikiPreferences or at the web level. For an easier upgrade it is recommended to customize plugin preferences variables in Main.TWikiPreferences only.

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 a plugin starts with the plugin announcing what it is:
# ---+ 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** # Turn this option off 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, and
configure
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

Config.spec
files are also used for other (non-plugin) extensions. in this case they are stored under the Contrib
directory instead of the Plugins
directory.

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

$meta
is a perl 'object' of class TWiki::Meta

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
checkAccessPermissions

- 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.

$contentLength
- Length of content (optional, in most cases 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.
$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.

to the HTML header (the tag).
This is useful for Plugins that want to include some javascript 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.
$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
.

. $var
- The name of the variable, i.e. the 'MYVAR' part of %MYVAR%. The variable name must match /^[A-Z][A-Z0-9_]*$/ 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
$web
- name of the web in the query
sub initPlugin{ TWiki::Func::registerTagHandler('EXEC', \&boo); } sub boo { my( $session, $params, $topic, $web ) = @_; my $cmd = $params->{_DEFAULT}; return "NO COMMAND SPECIFIED" unless $cmd; my $result = `$cmd 2>&1`; return $params->{silent} ? '' : $result; } }would let you do this:
%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%

$alias
- The name .
\&fn
- Reference to the function.

- 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.
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 |
$nop or $nop() |

Double quote (" ) |
$percnt |
Percent sign (% ) |
$dollar |
Dollar sign ($ ) |
$searchString
- the search string, in egrep format

hash may contain the following options: type
- if regex

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 qw( ALLOW DENY ) { foreach my $action qw( 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.

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
.

mailnotify
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.
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.

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

* 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 an alternate user mapping) to all changes to Web* topics.
* 'IT:admins' : Web*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 %NOTIFYTOPIC%, or even block use of emails altogther, 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.

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.

Net::SMTP
module if it is installed on your system. Set this with the SMTPMAILHOST
variable in TWikiPreferences.
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.
You can use an external mail program, such as sendmail
, if the Net::SMTP
module is not installed. Set the program path in {MailProgram}
in configure.
SMTPMAILHOST
in TWikiPreferences to an empty value.
SMTPSENDERHOST
variable to define the mail sender host (some SMTP installations require this).
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/bin; ./mailnotify -q)The above line will run mailnotify nightly at 01:00. The
-q
switch suppresses all normal output.
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.

The Trash

). All topics in the template web will be copied into your new web.
The second method is to use an existing web as a template web. This may be useful if you already have a web that you would like to use as a starting point. Only topics that have names beginning with Web... (like "WebHome", "WebNotify", etc.) are copied.
In either case you will want to be sure to verify that your new web has all the custom modifications that you desire. Any TWikiVariables defined in the form below will automatically be set in the WebPreferences of the new web.
ROOTCHANGE

{EnableHierarchicalWebs}
setting in configure is enabled. Hierarchical webs are currently enabled.
Note: You might not need hierarchical webs. TWiki topics already have a parent/child relationship within a web, which is shown in the breadcrumb. Try to keep the number of webs to a minimum in order to keep search and cross-referencing simple.
You can create hierarchical webs via the Adding a New Web form above, by using a slash- or dot-separated path name which is based on an existing web name in the Name of new web: field.
Example:
To create a subweb named Bar
inside a web named Foo
, use Foo/Bar
or Foo.Bar
as the new web name in the form above.

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. eg:
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%" }%
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%

{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).
