Applying a Profile

To apply a profile to your site, Tiki must contact a profile repository and download the configuration information. By default, Tiki is configured to use the official Tiki Profiles repository at http://profiles.tiki.org.

  1. From the Administration page, click Profiles.

     Tip

    You can also access the Administration: Profiles page by typing http://www.yourdomain.com/tiki-admin.php?page=profiles in your web browser.
  2. On the Profiles page, select the Apply tab.
    Selecting a profile to apply.

     Tip

    Use the Advanced tab to configure additional profile repositories and data channels.
  3. Click Featured Profiles to display a list of the top profiles.
    Tiki offers additional lists of profiles (Full, Mini, and Learning) as well as customizable filters to help you select a profile.
  4. Tiki contacts the profiles repository and displays a list of profiles that match your filters.
    If Tiki is unable to contact the repository:
    • Test your connection. On the Advanced tab, in the Repository Status area, click Refresh and Tiki will attempt to contact the repository.
    • Check the Repository URL. Confirm that the Repository URL is correct.

    Profiles
    If Tiki successfully contacts the repository, the system displays the available profiles:
    Profiles
  5. Click a profile name. Tiki displays the release information for the selected profile.
    Customizing and applying the profile.
    Some profiles allow you to customize the installation. For example, you can configure the Name or Title of your site.
  6. Read the profile information then click Apply Now to apply the profile to your site.
  7. Tiki prompts for confirmation before installing the profile. Click OK.

After installing the profile, Tiki displays a list of all configuration changes that have been made.

File not found.

You can now explore your new site. Depending on the profile you selected, you may notice:

  • A different theme
  • New menus, modules, and pages
  • Additional features

 Note

You may need to log out or clear the cache before the changes take affect.
