Utilities for searching, navigation, and monitoring site activity
TWikiSiteTools include utilities for navigating, searching and keeping up with site activity. Preferences can be configured by web or site-wide. You are currently in the TWiki web. In particular, TWiki provides two highly configurable, automated site monitoring tools, WebNotify, to email alerts when topics are edited, and WebStats, to generate detailed activity reports.
Each TWiki web has an automatic email alert service that sends a list of recent changes on a preset schedule, like once a day. Users can subscribe and unsubscribe using WebNotify in each web. The Perl script mailnotify
is called by a background process at regular intervals. The script sends an automated email to subscribed users if topics were changed in a web since the script was last run.
%NOTIFYTOPIC%
Format: TWiki handles entries in bullet list (<space><space><space>*
) format containing the WikiName of a user; a WikiName with e-mail address; or a TWikiGroup. Examples:
Main.FredBloggs
Main.FredBloggs - secondary@home.com
Main.EngineeringGroup
The 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.
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
.
TWiki will use the Net::SMTP
module if it is installed on your system. Set this with the SMTPMAILHOST
variable in TWikiPreferences.
The notify e-mail uses the default changes.tmpl
template, or a skin if activated in the TWikiPreferences.
mailnotify also relies on two hidden files in each TWiki/data/[web]
directory: .changes
and .mailnotify.
Make sure both are writable by your web server process. .changes
contains a list of changes; go ahead and make this empty. .mailnotify
contains a timestamp of the last time notification was done.
You can use an external mail program, like sendmail
, if the Net::SMTP
module is not installed. Set the program path in $mailProgram
in TWiki.cfg
.
SMTPMAILHOST
in TWikiPreferences to an empty value.
SMTPSENDERHOST
variable to define the mail sender host (some SMTP installations require this).
For Unix platforms: Edit the cron
table so that mailnotify
is called in an interval of your choice. Please consult man crontab
of how to modify the table that schedules program execution at certain intervals. Example:
% crontab -e 0 2 * * * (cd /path/to/twiki/bin; ./mailnotify -q)The above line will run mailnotify nightly at 02:00. The
-q
switch suppresses all normal output.
For ISP installations: Many ISPs don't allow hosted accounts direct cron access, as it's often used for things that can heavily load the server. Workaround scripts are available.
On Windows NT/2000: You can use a scheduled task if you have administrative privileges. Note: AT on an NT machine is pretty limited. Microsoft lists several third-party replacements. TWiki:Codev/CronTabWin is a free scheduler for Windows.
You can generate a listing manually, or on an automated schedule, of visits to individual pages, on a per web basis. Compiled as a running total on a monthly basis. Includes totals for Topic Views, Topic Saves, Attachment Uploads, Most Popular Topics with number of views, and Top Contributors showing total of saves and attachment uploads. Previous months are saved.
%STATISTICSTOPIC%
$doLogTopicView, $doLogTopicSave and $doLogTopicUpload
in TWiki.cfg
are set. This will generate log file entries (see below).
twiki/bin/statistics
script from a cron job, once a day is recommended. This will update the WebStatistics topics in all webs.
nobody
on many systems. Example crontab entry: 0 0 * * * (cd /path/to/TWiki/bin; ./statistics >/dev/null 2>&1)
nobody
: Run the utility twiki/bin/geturl
in your cron job and specify the URL of the twiki/bin/statistics
script as a parameter. Example: 0 0 * * * (cd /path/to/TWiki/bin; ./geturl mydomain.com /urlpath/to/TWiki/bin/statistics >/dev/null 2>&1)
twiki/bin/statistics
script can also be executed as a CGI script, just enter the URL in your browser. Examples:
http://mydomain.com/twiki/bin/statistics
http://mydomain.com/twiki/bin/statistics/Main
http://mydomain.com/twiki/bin/statistics/Main?logdate=200001
TWiki generates monthly log files which are used by the statistics
$logDir
variable in TWiki.cfg

WebSearch is an extremely fast and flexible search facility, part of the core TWiki feature set. Options include:
See also: TWikiVariables for including hard-coded searches in text.
To check for the most recently edited topics while on-site, use the WebChanges link, usually located on the upper toolbar. It lists the most recently modified topics, newest first, along with the first couple of lines of the page content.
This is simply a preset SEARCH
. The number of topics listed by the limit
parameter.:
%SEARCH{".*" web="TWiki" regex="on" nosearch="on" order="modified"
reverse="on" limit="50"}%
WebIndex lists all web topics in alphabetical order, with the first couple of lines of text. This is simply a preset SEARCH
:
%SEARCH{"\.*" scope="topic" regex="on" nosearch="on"}%
