SID-01049: in which file is the WEBLIST rendered to HTML

Hello.

Ive just installed TWiki 5.0 and have been playing with it. To meet my company's request im working on customizing the WEBLIST function.

after a few changes in the TWiki.pm file, I can now see the difference between the current Web im on, and the rest.

Now i'd like to use a different color for the current web, and ive been looking everywhere but cannot find:

Where is the WEBLIST rendered out to HTML?

I realize this isnt the best way to change a function, as it will be harder to upgrade to a never version, is there a way to override the weblist function so it won't be changed during a update?

Discussion and Answer

First, each web has a color defined in the web's WebPreferences topic. Change that color per web if needed.

I do not recommend changing the code for WEBLIST. You probably do not need it. You can use the format="" parameter to generate a custom output per web. Details in VarWEBLIST. If you really want to change the code, look at subroutine WEBLIST in twiki/lib/TWiki.pm

You could also use VarSEARCH that searches across all webs.

In general I recommend reading the documentation. You can do a lot with TWiki without touching the code.
