Using Categories

You can use categories to organize the items (such as wiki pages or images) in your site. With Tiki, you can put any item into one or more categories. Your visitors can then browse all of the items in a specific category.

To use categories you must first enable the Categories feature.

From the Administration: Features page:

  1. Enable the Categories check box on the Global Features tab. Click Apply. Tiki enables the Category feature and reloads the Administration page.
    Administration: Features page
  2. In the Features area at the top of the page, click the Category icon.

     Tip

    You can also access the Administration: Category page by typing http://www.yourdomain.com/tiki-admin.php?page=category in your web browser.

    Administration: Category page
    Enabling the Category Path.
  3. On the Administration: Category page, enable the following options in the Features area:
    • Category Path: For each categorized object, Tiki will display the category path (breadcrumbs) so that users can see to which category the object belongs.

       Note

      You can use the Exclude these categories field to add the ID of a category that Tiki should not display.

     Tip

    You will need to enable the Advanced Preference Filter to view the category features.
  4. Click Apply Tiki saves the information and reloads the page.

 Warning

Be careful with the Ignore category restrictions option. If it is enabled, visitors will be able to see all categories, regardless of the category's permissions. This option overrides the standard Tiki permissions.

Now, let's create a category...
