Configuring General Layout Options

In addition to its diverse feature list, Tiki includes several administration options to configure its look and feel (that is, the layout).

From the Control Panels page:

  1. Click Look & Feel.

     Tip

    You can also access the Look & Feel page by typing http://www.yourdomain.com/tiki-admin.php?page=look in your web browser or by clicking the Look & Feel button in the Quick Admin area.
  2. The Look & Feel control panel appears.
    Administration: Look and Feel.
    The Administration: Look and Feel page lists the Tiki layout options.
  3. On the Theme tab, use the Theme to select the theme (or "skin") for your Tiki.

     Note

    Some themes, such as Fivealive, include additional theme options that you can configure.

    You can also select the specific theme for jQuery elements.
  4. Click Apply to change your site Theme.
  5. Click the Layout tab.
    File not found.

     Tip

    You can also access the Layout Options tab by using the Look & Feel button in the Quick Admin area.
  6. Here you can:
    • Enable (and add modules to) any of Tiki's additional content areas:
      • Topbar
      • Page top
      • Left and right columns
      • Page bottom
      • Bottom module zone
    • Add your own logo and site name in the Site Logo and Title area.

       Warning

      The Site Logo and Title options will be replaced by additional module areas in later Tiki releases.
    • Enable (or disable) the Site Search Bar and Login Bar.
    • Enable (or disable) the icons and debugging information in the Bottom bar.

       Note

      The "debug" bar displays information about your Tiki's performance, such as the amount of time it takes to load a page or the number of database queries that were issued. While this information may be useful (and interesting), it is not especially helpful to a new visitor.
  7. Click Change preferences. Tiki saves the information and reloads the page.

Later, you will use the other Look and Feel options to further customize your Tiki.
