Using the Control Panels
With Tiki, you can complete all configuration and administration tasks from your Web browser, simply by using the Control panels (Administration pages).
Using the Quick Administration module
Use the Quick Administration module (enabled by default on a new Tiki installation) to quickly access some of the most common Control panels.
By default, the Quick Administration module contains the following buttons
- Wizards
- Control panels
- Themes
- Users
- Groups
- Permissions
- Menus
- Clear all caches
- Rebuild search index
- Plugin approval
- Logs
- Modules
- Scheduler
To access the main administration page, select the Settings > Control Panels option in the Menu module.
Tip
The Administration page provides links to each section's own administration page. Features that have not been turned on are shown "grayed out" (such as the Blogs, in the example below).
Use the Help button (available on all administration pages) to find detailed help from the Tiki documentation.
Using recent preferences
Tiki automatically remembers each control panel or administration option that you access.
Use the Recent Preferences option in the Quick Administration module to quickly return to any previously configured option.
Finding and filtering preferences
Tiki has thousands of features, options, and settings. To help new administrators, use the Preference Filters to display only the most common options. If you are following along with this guide, be sure to enable the Basic and Advanced filters.
