  • Set SITEMAPLIST = on
  • Set SITEMAPWHAT = Motion - information about the motion detection software

• A preference is defined as:
  6 spaces * Set NAME = value
  Example:
  • Set WEBBGCOLOR = #FFFFC0
• Preferences are used as Macros by enclosing the name in percent signs. Example:
  • When you write variable %WEBBGCOLOR% , it gets expanded to =#99FF66 = .
• The sequential order of the preference settings is significant. Define preferences that use other preferences first, i.e. set WEBCOPYRIGHT before WIKIWEBMASTER since %WEBCOPYRIGHT% uses the %WIKIWEBMASTER% variable.
• You can introduce new preferences variables and use them in your topics and templates. There is no need to change the Foswiki engine (Perl scripts).

• DefaultPreferences has site-level preferences.
• WikiUsers has a list of user topics. User topics can have optional user preferences.
• Macros has a list of common %VARIABLES%.
• AccessControl explains how to restrict access by users or groups.
