The maximum number of items in columnsThere are columns having a list of items. The maximum number of items listed in a column is specified as follows.
Affiliation breakdown of views, saves, and uploadsIf you run TWiki in an orgaization, you may want to see division breakdown of topic views, topic saves, and file uploads - in a month, how many topic views are there from the R&D division, the Sales division, etc. You can have affiliation breakdown at the Topic views, Topic saves, and File uploads columns of WebStatistics and SiteStatistics as follows.
Excluding some webs from WebStatistics updateYou can exclude webs from WebStatistics update by specifying{Stats}{ExcludedWebRegex} config parameter as follows.
$TWiki::cfg{Stats}{ExcludedWebRegex} = '^(Trash(x\d+x)?\d*|Sandbox\d*)\b';You may wonder when this is needed. There are webs not worth updating WebStatistics such as the Trash web. When a web is deleted, it becomes a subweb of the Trash web. By default, not only the Trash web but also subwebs of the Trash web are subject to WebStatistics update. On a large TWiki site, you may have dozens of Trash webs - you may rotate Trash webs and you may be UsingMultipleDisks (each disk requires its own Trash - e.g. Trashx1x and Trashx2x). If you have Trash, Trash1, ..., Trash10 for rotation and if you use 3 disks for TWiki, you end up having 33 Trashes. Preventing WebStatistics and SiteStatistics from growing bigWebStatistics topics grow in size every month. By default you have only 10 lines per month, but you may have a lot more. If so, in 5 years, WebStatistics gets really big. Besides, if you run thestatistics script every day, you increase the revision of each WebStatistics by one every day. If a topic has hundreds of revision, some operations such as getting the original creator of the topic takes long.
There is an option to prevent the boundless growth of WebStatistics.
If you set $TWiki::cfg{Stats}{TopicPerYear} true, the statistics script writes the result to WebStatisticsYYYY where YYYY is the current year (e.g. WebStatistics2024) instead of WebStatistics. The parameter is false by default.
{Stats}{TopicPerYear} is true:
Upgrade from pre 6.0Statistics topic conversionThere are several changes made to WebStatistics and SiteStatistics. If existing statistics topics are kept as they are, topic update by thestatistics script doesn't work well.
By running tools/convert_stats_twiki6 after upgrade, all statistics topics are converted for the current version of statistics .
Top Contributors on SiteStatisticsThe number of contributors listed on the "Top Contributors" column on SiteStatistics is specified by{Stats}{SiteTopContrib} .
Prior to TWiki 6.0, it was specified by {Stats}{TopContrib} .
If you have a custom {Stats}{TopContrib} value, you need to set {Stats}{SiteTopContrib} as well. Otherwise, the number of "Top Contributors" on SiteStatistics becomes the default value, which is 10. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

WebNotify - recent changes alert | ||||||||||
Line: 16 to 17 | ||||||||||
Web Changes Notification ServiceEach TWiki web has an automatic e-mail notification service that sends you an e-mail with links to all of the topics modified since the last alert.
Tip: Instead of subscribing here, it is easier to "watch" topics of interest. Watching topics gives you the choice of immediate notification or digest notification.
Users subscribe to email notifications using their WikiName or an alternative email address, and can specify the webs/topics they wish to track, Whole groups of users can also be subscribed for notification.
The general format of a subscription is:
three spaces * subscriber [ : topics ]
Where subscriber can be a WikiName, an E-mail address, or a
group name. If subscriber contains any characters that are not legal in
an email address, then it must be enclosed in 'single' or "double" quotes. Please note that the guest user TWikiGuest does not have an email address mapped to it, and will never receive email regardless of the configuration of that user.
topics is an optional space-separated list of topics:
* daisy.cutter@flowers.comSubscribe Daisy to all changes to topics that start with Web .
* daisy.cutter@flowers.com : Web*Subscribe Daisy to changes to topics starting with Petal , and their immediate children, WeedKillers and children to a depth of 3, and all topics that match start with Pretty and end with Flowers e.g. PrettyPinkFlowers
* DaisyCutter: Petal* (1) WeedKillers (3) Pretty*FlowersSubscribe StarTrekFan to changes to all topics that start with Star except those that end in Wars , sInTheirEyes or shipTroopers .
* StarTrekFan: Star* - *Wars - *sInTheirEyes - *shipTroopersSubscribe Daisy to the full content of NewsLetter whenever it has changed * daisy@flowers.com: NewsLetter?Subscribe buttercup to NewsLetter and its immediate children, even if it hasn't changed. * buttercup@flowers.com: NewsLetter! (1)Subscribe GardenGroup (which includes Petunia) to all changed topics under AllnewsLetters to a depth of 3. Then unsubscribe Petunia from the ManureNewsLetter, which she would normally get as a member of GardenGroup: * GardenGroup: AllNewsLetters? (3) * petunia@flowers.com: - ManureNewsLetterSubscribe IT:admins (a non-TWiki group defined by a custom user mapping) to all changes to Web* topics.
* 'IT:admins' : Web*In addition to single quotes ('), double quotes (") do the same job for a non-TWiki group. A user may be listed many times in the WebNotify topic. Where a user has several lines in WebNotify that all match the same topic, they will only be notified about changes that topic once (though they will still receive individual mails for news topics). If a group is listed for notification, the group will be recursively expanded to the e-mail addresses of all members. Warning: Because an email address is not linked to a user name, there is no way for TWiki to check access controls for subscribers identified by email addresses. A subscriber identified by an email address alone will only be sent change notifications if the topic they are subscribed to is readable by guest users. You can limit what email addresses can be used in WebNotify, or even block use of emails altogether, using the {MailerContrib}{EmailFilterIn} setting in =configure .
Tip: List names in alphabetical order to make it easier to find the names.
Note for System Administrators: Notification is supported by an add-on to the TWiki kernel called the MailerContrib. See the MailerContrib topic for details of how to set up this service.

< < | TWiki handles WebNotify entries that include the WikiName of a user or a TWikiGroup and an optional e-mail address. Example entries in WebNotify:
* Main.FredBloggs * Main.FredBloggs - secondary@home.com * Main.EngineeringGroupThe first entry is the default form, the notification gets sent to the e-mail address specified in the user's home page. The second entry lists an alternative e-mail address. The third entry specifies a group, the notification gets sent to each member of the group. | |||||||
> > | Web Changes Notification ServiceEach TWiki web has an automatic e-mail notification service that sends you an e-mail with links to all of the topics modified since the last alert.
Tip: Instead of subscribing here, it is easier to "watch" topics of interest. Watching topics gives you the choice of immediate notification or digest notification.
Users subscribe to email notifications using their WikiName or an alternative email address, and can specify the webs/topics they wish to track, Whole groups of users can also be subscribed for notification.
The general format of a subscription is:
three spaces * subscriber [ : topics ]
Where subscriber can be a WikiName, an E-mail address, or a
group name. If subscriber contains any characters that are not legal in
an email address, then it must be enclosed in 'single' or "double" quotes. Please note that the guest user TWikiGuest does not have an email address mapped to it, and will never receive email regardless of the configuration of that user.
topics is an optional space-separated list of topics:
* daisy.cutter@flowers.comSubscribe Daisy to all changes to topics that start with Web .
* daisy.cutter@flowers.com : Web*Subscribe Daisy to changes to topics starting with Petal , and their immediate children, WeedKillers and children to a depth of 3, and all topics that match start with Pretty and end with Flowers e.g. PrettyPinkFlowers
* DaisyCutter: Petal* (1) WeedKillers (3) Pretty*FlowersSubscribe StarTrekFan to changes to all topics that start with Star except those that end in Wars , sInTheirEyes or shipTroopers .
* StarTrekFan: Star* - *Wars - *sInTheirEyes - *shipTroopersSubscribe Daisy to the full content of NewsLetter whenever it has changed * daisy@flowers.com: NewsLetter?Subscribe buttercup to NewsLetter and its immediate children, even if it hasn't changed. * buttercup@flowers.com: NewsLetter! (1)Subscribe GardenGroup (which includes Petunia) to all changed topics under AllnewsLetters to a depth of 3. Then unsubscribe Petunia from the ManureNewsLetter, which she would normally get as a member of GardenGroup: * GardenGroup: AllNewsLetters? (3) * petunia@flowers.com: - ManureNewsLetterSubscribe IT:admins (a non-TWiki group defined by a custom user mapping) to all changes to Web* topics.
* 'IT:admins' : Web*In addition to single quotes ('), double quotes (") do the same job for a non-TWiki group. A user may be listed many times in the WebNotify topic. Where a user has several lines in WebNotify that all match the same topic, they will only be notified about changes that topic once (though they will still receive individual mails for news topics). If a group is listed for notification, the group will be recursively expanded to the e-mail addresses of all members. Warning: Because an email address is not linked to a user name, there is no way for TWiki to check access controls for subscribers identified by email addresses. A subscriber identified by an email address alone will only be sent change notifications if the topic they are subscribed to is readable by guest users. You can limit what email addresses can be used in WebNotify, or even block use of emails altogether, using the {MailerContrib}{EmailFilterIn} setting in =configure .
Tip: List names in alphabetical order to make it easier to find the names.
Note for System Administrators: Notification is supported by an add-on to the TWiki kernel called the MailerContrib. See the MailerContrib topic for details of how to set up this service.
Note: If you prefer a news feed, point your reader to WebRss (for RSS 1.0 feeds) or WebAtom (for ATOM 1.0 feeds). Learn more at WebRssBase and WebAtomBase, respectively. | |||||||
You can also use %MAINWEB% instead of Main , but this is not necessary even if you have renamed the main web by configuring $mainWebname in TWiki.cfg . | ||||||||
