Question

I have installed the ChecklistPlugin and it is working. I want to set some default parameters. For example, I want the STATEICONS to be and instead of and , I want SHOWLEGEND to be set to on. I have put these lines in the TWikiPreferences but it is not taking effect. If I put these parameters while defining the checklist, like %CHECKLISTSTART{anchors="yes" notify="off" showlegend="on" pos="top" states="todo|done" stateicons=":no:|:yes:" }%, it works fine.

Here are the lines from my TWikipreferences:

Checklist Plugin

• One line description, is shown in the TextFormattingRules topic
  • Set SHORTDESCRIPTION = Create simple checklists
• Setup states and icons (defaults: todo¦done and :-I¦:ok:; remove # for setup):
  • Set STATES = todo|done
  • Set STATEICONS = :no:|:yes:
• Enables/Disables state legend (default: off)
  • Set SHOWLEGEND = on

Where did I go wrong ?

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

instead of Set STATES = todo|done, change to todo or done. Not both. The same for the yes or no. without the ":"

an example...

Set STATES = done

Set STATEICONS = yes

A fast way would be to copy the animated images overtop of the none animated images

No. I am sure that the STATES should be todo|done, because it tells the plugin how many states are to be included (like todo|doing|done). Same for STATEICONS. It is stated clearly at http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/ChecklistPlugin#Plugin_Settings. Moreover, the legend is not shown even if I set SHOWLEGEND = on

Actually, I tried your suggestion but it didn't work.

Well, I changed the relevant parameters in the Checklistplugin.pm file under sub initDefaults() to get the desired defaults.

You don't have to edit the .pm file -- you can just edit the Plugins page (ChecklistPlugin) to set preferences.
