Video about how to set up your new Tiki

Admin quick start:

This is the initial screen that will be displayed when you first access Tiki:

This page displays the Application menu, the login box and a Wiki error message since anonymous (not logged in) users initially can't view the Wiki pages.

• Log in as admin, using the password admin.
• When prompted, change the admin password to something secure that you can remember.
• Now you can see the HomePage of the Wiki (blank). The left navigation bar has a new option: the Admin (click!) link and a button to its left. The contents of the navigation bar change based on which features you enable. In the illustration below, several features have already been enabled. Your initial navigation bar will not show all of these.

• Click the Admin (click!) link in the menu. It will take you to the main admin screen where a lot of parameters for your site can be set up.

• Follow these links for more information on Admin options:
  • TikiAdminSettings

• Additional configuration options are displayed when clicking the button to the left of Admin (click!) (see below).

You are now ready to configure Tiki to meet your needs by using the Admin page and the Admin menu from the navigation bar. Your first step should be to go to the Features menu and start enabling features.

And then?

After you're started you'll soon need more specific information. Here's a ton of links ; bookmark this page😉
