SID-00798: Set WebPreferences not via Interface (maybe using plugin API)

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	4.3.2	Perl version:
Category:	CategoryAPI	Server OS:	Centos	Last update:	15 years ago

Hi,

How can I create a Web and Set Preferences (mainly only Access Control preferences such as ALLOWWEBCHANGE) not using the interface in TWiki. I'm thinking of create a plugin to set the preference for the web, but I can't find any API in the TWiki::Func supporting that feature.

I can use the createWeb( $newWeb, $baseWeb, $opts ) to create a Web using plugin, but I don't know how to set preference for it.

Are there any API supporting it ?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Ann

Discussion and Answer

There is no API per se, but you can programmatically read/modify/save the WebPreferences topic in the newly created web. Simply do a regex search for the "* Set ALLOWWEBCHANGE =" line and add the group to it.
