Configuring the Articles

Tiki's Article feature allows you to post date-sensitive material (such as news items or notices). You can control when the article appears and when it is removed.

 Tip

The Article feature was called CMS in earlier TIki versions.


From the Control Panels page:

  1. Click Articles.

     Tip

    You can also access the Administration page by typing http://www.yourdomain.com/tiki-admin.php?page=articles in your web browser.
  2. The General Settings tab of the Administration: Articles page contains the site-wide options for the articles system. You can also configure the article information to display when users list the available articles.
    Use the Administration: Articles page to configure the Articles.
  3. Enable Submissions in the features area. This will allow visitors to submit new articles to your site.
    Leave the other options as their default.
  4. Click Apply. Tiki saves the information and reloads the page.
  5. From the menu, select Articles > List Articles. The Articles page appears. The Articles page lists the current articles. Right now there are no articles.
    Articles page.

 Tip

The columns that appear in the table (such as Title, Type, Topic, etc.) are determined by the selections in the Fields to display on page List articles area on the Administration: Articles page. By default, all fields are shown. Since you left the defaults, Tiki shows all the fields.


Each Tiki article can be grouped by type (such as a review or advertisement) and topic.

 Note

The article's Type and Topic is different (and in addition to) Tiki's Category feature. You will learn about categories later, in the Using Advanced Features section.
