Configuring Tiki Features
One of the best things about Tiki is the number of features that it includes...
right out-of-the-box. Even better, these features are all unified under a single product — Tiki.
Now that your site is configured to allow new users to register, you can add features to your site. By default, Tiki starts with only one feature turned on - the wiki feature. Let's look at what other features are available.
- From the Administration page, click Features
.
 | Tip: You can also access the Administration page by typing http://www.yourdomain.com/tiki-admin.php?page=features in your web browser. |
- The Administration: Features page, appears.
| Figure: The Administration: Features page lists all Tiki features. |
 |
 | Tip: Select the No tabs option to display all the features on a single page, instead of on separate tabs. |
