Question
Currently, any user who goes to mywebsite.org automatically sees the "Main" web. Is there a way to configure TWiki so that they see "MyWeb" instead of the Main web? I would like to do this INSIDE of TWiki- I'm trying to avoid using some kind of Apache redirect. I've checked TWikiVariables and TWikiPreferences, but I was unable to find anything there. I also checked in configure.pl - it's error free, and I don't think I should have to change the default webpage to refer to /bin/view.pl/MyWeb , as that seems kind of a weird hack. Thanks.Environment
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. If either the web or the topic is defined, will generate a full url (including web and topic). Otherwise will generate only up to the script name. An undefined web will default to the main web name.So it's hard-coded -- not configurable. And further on, a slightly different description:
WARNING if there is no web specification (in the web or topic parameters) the web defaults to $TWiki::cfg{UsersWebName}. If there is no topic specification, or the topic is '0', the topic defaults to the web home topic name.The line of code that does that (
$web ||= $cfg{UsersWebName}; ) is in a function that is used a lot, so untolled things would break or work differently.
Compare that to the options you ruled out: - Apache redirect:
Alias / "<Drive>:/<...>/bin/view/MyWeb/WebHome"
- Editing the default web page (index.html):
<html><head> <META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="0; URL=bin/view/MyWeb/WebHome"> </head> Logging on... [that's only if you have a slow single sign-on, like NTLM] </html>
