Managing WebsAdding, renaming and deleting webs are all web-based operations.OverviewA TWikiSite is divided into webs; each one represents one subject, one area of collaboration. Administrators can add/rename/delete webs.Choose Web TemplateThere are two methods used to create a new web. First you can use a specially designed TemplateWeb. This is an invisible web that begins with an underscore "_" character (for example_default ). 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.
Adding a New WebNotes:
Hierarchical WebsYou can only create hierarchical webs (webs within webs) if the{EnableHierarchicalWebs} setting in configure is enabled. Hierarchical webs are currently enabled.
![]() Bar inside a web named Foo , use Foo/Bar or Foo.Bar as the new web name in the form above.
Subweb Preferences are InheritedThe preferences of a subweb are inherited from the parent web and overridden locally. Preferences are ultimately inherited from the TWiki.TWikiPreferences topic. Example Preference Inheritance forSandbox/TestWeb/SubWeb.SubWebTopic topic:
NavigationThe Pattern skin (default) indicates Subwebs by indenting them in the sidebar relative to their level in the hierarchy.Renaming or Deleting a WebRename a web via the Tools section in each WebPreferences topic. You may delete a web by moving it into a Trash web.PermissionsYou may only rename a web if you have the following permissions
Edit ConflictsIf anyone is editing a topic which requires updating, or which lives in the web being renamed, a second confirmation screen will come up which will indicate which topics are still locked for edit. You may continue to hit the refresh button until an edit lease is obtained for each topic which requires updating (the "Refresh" button will change to "Submit"), or hit "Cancel", which will cancel your edit lease on all affected topics.Renaming the webs in the distributionIt is possible, though not recommended, to change the names of the webs in the distribution. If you plan to rename the Main web, remember that TWiki stores user topics in this web. That means that every WikiName signature -Main.SomeUserName - points to it and would need updating (unless the variable, %USERSWEB%.SomeUserName , is used throughout). This potentially large change can be performed automatically if you rename the web from the Tools section of WebPreferences, as described above.
