Parts of a Tiki

Let's take a moment to explore the parts that make up a Tiki Site.

A sample Tiki site.

A newly installed Tiki has these parts:

  1. Top
    Right now, the top contains the Tiki logo and a login button. Later, you'll replace this with your own logo and a site title
  2. Top Bar
    Currently, the top bar is empty. Websites traditionally use this area for logos and banner ads, as well as navigation features (such as a search box or menu). Tiki makes it easy to add items to the top bar.
  3. Content
    Here is the "meat" of your Tiki. The content in this area will vary, depending on what features you're using. It might show blogs, forums, or images. Right now, you're looking a wiki page — the HomePage.
  4. Bottom Bar
    The bottom bar contains a "Powered by Tiki" notice and theme credits. Like everything else, this area is fully customizable. For example, you could add a copyright statement, a link to to a "Contact us" form, or anything else you want here.
  5. Table of Contents
    Tiki can automatically create a Table of Contents for each page, based on the headings on the page.


Additionally, you can configure your Tiki with left and right columns, as shown here:

A sample Tiki with columns

The left column and right column can each contain modules. A module is simply a box of information. For example, in the previous image, the left column has two modules: the Menu and Another Menu modules; the right column has a three module: Last Articles, Last Forum Posts, and Please Vote.

The top bar also contains a module for the menu and search bar.
