: Site / Site Configuration

Here you find some links to Site configuration and administration pages. Add links to other pages you may need for your site's configuration here, as necessary. Some links may only apply to certain configurations or skins.

The Site group contains configuration pages, and the SiteAdmin group contains administrative pages.

Note to new administrators:

All pages in the 'Site' group (except Site.Side Bar) are locked for editing as the default. Site.SideBar is locked with the site-wide edit password, if one is set.
All pages in the 'SiteAdmin' group are locked for reading and editing as the default.
In order to edit any locked page you need to create in local/config.php a site wide admin password (see Passwords Admin). Then you can edit pages and change the access protection of individual pages by changing the page attributes with ?action=attr.

To create personal user (browser) preferences,

make a copy of this page somewhere, preferably as Profiles.insert_your_name_here-Preferences
edit that page with your new preferred settings,
select Set Preferences of this Page on the page containing your newly created settings.

This sets a preference cookie on your browser which tells PmWiki where to find your personal preference settings.

To revert to the PmWiki default preferences

select Revert to PmWiki Default Preferences to unset the preference cookie

See also Cookbook:UserConfigurations about how to customise the edit form for personal use.

Note that by default, parsing of Site.Preferences is disabled. To make it the default site preference, add

 XLPage('prefs', "Site.Preferences");

to a config file (e.g. local/config.php). Here you find some links to Site configuration and administration pages. Add links to other pages you may need for your site's configuration here, as necessary. Some links may only apply to certain configurations or skins.
