Creating Structures

Let's create a structure for an online book of wiki pages.

From the Admin menu:

1. Select Wiki > Structures.
2. On the Structures page, click the Create Structure tab.
   
3. In the Create new structure area, enter the following information in each field:
   • Structure ID: Enter a name for the structure, such as My Tiki Book. You can have multiple structures, but each ID must be unique.
     

      Tip

     Use the Alias field to create a "display" name for the page. This allows you to create pages that appear to have the same name, even though Tiki requires a unique page name for each wiki page. See Using a Page Alias for more information.
   • Tree: When you create a new structure, you can have Tiki automatically create a set of wiki pages in the structure. (Later, you will learn how to add existing wiki pages to the structure, or create new pages in the structure.
   
   For now let's populate the new structure with some pages. In the Tree area type:
   

   Overview
   Chapter One
    Introduction
   Chapter Two

   
   

    Note

   Be sure to indent the Introduction — this tells Tiki that the Introduction is a child page of Chapter One.
4. Click Create new structure. Tiki saves the information and reloads the page.

Your new structure is now listed on the Structures tab.

Remember the four sections (pages) you included in the Tree area when you created the structure? Tiki has automatically created a wiki page for each item.

This is the quickest (and easiest) method to create new wiki pages — create the pages when you create the structure.

But what if you want to add pages to an existing structure...
