Basic Variables

<< | PmWiki.Variables | LayoutVariables >>

$DefaultGroup
WikiGroup used by default (on startup) when no group is specified in the URL. Note that changing this value doesn't change the locations to existing distributed pages such as Main.SearchWiki, Main.SideBar, etc.

$DefaultName
Name of the default HomePage of each WikiGroup. Used when the group doesn't have a page with the same name as the group.

$DefaultPage
Startup page when PmWiki is called without a page specified, normally $DefaultGroup.$DefaultName

$SpaceWikiWords
If set, then WikiWords in pages are automatically spaced according to $AsSpacedFunction. Note that this value can also be affected by the (:spacewikiwords:) and (:nospacewikiwords:) directives.
        $SpaceWikiWords = 1;          # turn on WikiWord spacing
        $SpaceWikiWords = 0;          # turn off WikiWord spacing

$LinkWikiWords
If set, then bare WikiWords in a page are automatically linked to pages of the same name. Note that this value can also be affected by the (:linkwikiwords:) and (:nolinkwikiwords:) directives.
        $LinkWikiWords = 1;           # turn on WikiWord links
        $LinkWikiWords = 0;           # disable WikiWord links

$AsSpacedFunction
The name of the function used to convert WikiWords into normal, spaced strings. Defaults to 'AsSpaced'.
        $AsSpacedFunction = 'MyAsSpaced';

$EnablePGCust
Allows/disables per-page and per-group customizations. Can be set to zero in any local customization file to prevent remaining page/group customizations from being loaded.
        $EnablePGCust=0;              # turn off per-page/group configs

$GroupPattern
The regular expression pattern used for valid WikiGroup name specifications. Defaults to allowing any group name beginning with an uppercase letter, but can be set to limit the valid group names (see Cookbook:LimitWikiGroups).
        # limit groups to Main, PmWiki, and MyGroup
        $GroupPattern = '(?:Main|PmWiki|MyGroup)';

$NamePattern
The regular expression pattern used for valid page names. Defaults to allowing pages beginning with an uppercase letter or digit, followed by sequences of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores.

$WikiWordPattern
The pattern that describes a WikiWord.
