Using a Custom Page

Tiki also allows you to use any valid web page as the Home Page. This could be a static HTML page, a Flash-based video, or anything else.

First you need to create a simple HTML file that will become your site's home page. Here is an example:

New Home Page
<html>
 <head>
  <title>Welcome</title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <h1>My Site</h1>
  <p>Welcome to my web site.</p>
  <p><a href="tiki-index.php?page=HomePage">Click Here</a> to enter.</p>
 </body>
</html>


This is a very simple page that contains a link to the wiki page named HomePage.

Name this HTML page new_home.html and copy it to your web host. Place the new_home.html in the same directory in which you originally installed Tiki.

Now let's set this new page as the site's home page:

From the Navigation tab of the General control panel:

  1. Enable the Use custom hompage option, and enter the name (including relative path, if necessary) of the HTML file you created (new_home.html).
    Selecting the new_home.html files as your new Home Page.
  2. Click Apply. Tiki saves the information and reloads the page.


Now logout. Tiki automatically displays your new home page.

Welcome page.
This is your new Home Page. Click the link to enter Tiki.
