TWiki Meta Data | ||||||||
Line: 11 to 11 | ||||||||
By default, TWiki stores topics in files on disk, in a really simple and obvious directory structure. The big advantage of this approach is that it makes it really easy to manipulate topics from outside TWiki, and is also very safe; there are no complex binary indexes to maintain, and moving a topic from one TWiki to another is as simple as copying a couple of text files. | ||||||||

TWiki Meta DataTopic data not editable from main freeform text box, stored in name/valueMETA variable pairs
OverviewTWikiMetaData usesMETA variables to store topic data that's separate from the main free-form content. This includes program-generated info like FileAttachment data, and user-defined Form Template info.

FORM
FIELDShould only be present if there is a FORM entry. Note that this data is used when viewing a topic, the form template definition is not read.
Recommended SequenceThere no absolute need for meta data variables to be in a specific order, however, it does for the following reasons:
Viewing Meta Data in Page SourceWhen viewing a topic theRaw Text link can be clicked to show the text of a topic (ie: as seen when editing). This is done by adding raw=on to URL. raw=debug shows the meta data as well as the topic data, ex: debug view for this topic
Rendering Meta DataMeta Data is rendered with the %META% variable. This is mostly used in theview , preview and edit scripts.
Current support is fairly basic:
Known IssuesThere is currently no support for meta data for Plugins. However, the format is readily extendable and theMeta.pm code that supports the format needs only minor alteration.
