Using a Custom Page

Tiki also allows you to use any valid web page as the Home Page. This could be a static HTML page, a Flash-based video, or anything else.

First you need to create a simple HTML file that will become your site's home page. Here is an example:

New Home Page

<html>
 <head>
  <title>Welcome</title>
 </head>
 <body>
  <h1>My Site</h1>
  <p>Welcome to my web site.</p>
  <p><a href="tiki-index.php?page=HomePage">Click Here</a> to enter.</p>
 </body>
</html>

This is a very simple page that contains a link to the wiki page named HomePage.

Name this HTML page new_home.html and copy it to your web host. Place the new_home.html in the same directory in which you originally installed Tiki.

Now let's set this new page as the site's home page:

From the Navigation tab of the General control panel:

Enable the Use custom hompage option, and enter the name (including relative path, if necessary) of the HTML file you created (new_home.html).
Click Apply. Tiki saves the information and reloads the page.
