Installing and Accessing Plugins

The standard Tiki installation includes more than 100 plugins. However, there is continuous development of new plugins — you can even create your own! There are two methods to install additional plugins:

  • Manually: Simply add the plugin's PHP file to your Tiki's ../lib/wiki-plugins/ directory.
  • Automatically: Use the Mods feature to download and install new plugins.

 Note

The Tiki documentation also includes information on creating your own, custom plugin.

Verifying Installation

There are several methods to verify (or check) which plugins are installed:

  • The Plugins tab of the Enabling Plugins control panel shows all installed plugins.

     Tip

    Use the Filter field to quickly find a specific plugin. Use the Enable option to use the plugin on a wiki page.

  1. In the Help window, access the Plugins section.

  2. Tiki displays an window for the plugin. In this example, we are adding the Category plugin to a wiki page:
