Configuring General Admin Options

If you did not enter your site's title on the installer, notice that the title bar in your browser simply says "Administration." Tiki will automatically put the title of the current content page here, but you should also add the name of your website. You can add your website's name on the Administration: General page.
TipTip:
You can Movie watch a short video that demonstrates this procedure.

Release 5.x Release 4.x Release 3.x Release 2.x Release 1.9.x

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

  1. The Administration: General page contains general Tiki options that apply to your entire site.
    The Administration: General page contains the following tabs:
    • General Preferences
    • General Settings
    • Navigation
    • Date and Time Formats
    • Admin Password

    New version
    You should always upgrade your Tiki to the current release.
  4. Scroll down to the Site Identity section. This field includes the Browser Title and Sender email that you entered as part of the installation process. You can change it here, if necessary.
    NoteNote:
    Some web hosts may require that the Sender Email be an actual email address. Check with your web host provider.
  5. Click the General Settings tab.
    Administration: General page
    The Administration: General page, General Settings tab contains additional, site-wide options.
  6. This tab includes options to control site access and performance. Leave these options as their defaults for now.
    NoteNote:
    Confirm that Tiki has full access to write to the Temporary directory on your web server.

    TipTip:
    Notice that Tiki automatically informs you if a prerequisite for an option, such as the Multidomain feature, has not been selected. This helps avoid configuration errors.
  7. Click the Navigation tab.
    Administration: General page
    The Administration: General page, Navigation tab contains settings for menu and folder formats.
  8. This tab includes options for creating dynamic menus and configuring your Tiki's home page. Leave these options as their defaults for now.

  10. Select your Default timezone. Tiki will use this as the default when showing timestamps.
  11. Leave the other options as their defaults and click Change Preferences. Tiki saves the changes and reloads the page.
TipTip:
Use the Reset button ( Reset) to undo any customizations and return an option to its default value.



NoteNote:
You may need to empty your browser's cache to immediately see the updates.
