Key Function and sub-features

Site Identity can be enabled by switching the checkbox on (off by default) at Admin -> (Admin Home ->) Features page. In Tiki 2.2, the Site Identity checkbox is on the Admin -> (Admin Home ->) Look & Feel page, in the Theme tab. The main sub-feature is the Site Logo which will appear on the top Site Header of every Tikiwiki page and by default it links to the index page ("./") of the used site as is common.
Site Identity Settings can be found on Admin -> (Admin Home ->) Site Identity (it used to be on the General settings page). In Tiki 2.2 these settings can be found on the Admin -> (Admin Home ->) Look & Feel page, in the General Layout tab.

Currently you can:
  • enable Site Location bar (aka breadcrumbs)
  • customize the Site Logo image source, background color, title and alt attributes
  • put your own Custom Code in the Site Header
  • setup banner zones and enable the Banner area
  • enable Site Search bar

This is the admin interface at "Admin -> (Admin Home ->) Site Identity" (similar to the corresponding interface at "Admin -> (Admin Home ->) Look & Feel -> General Layout" in Tiki 2.2)

Requirement: You need the feature 'tell a friend' activated and the permission tiki_p_tell_a_friend.

Note:
In case you can publish more than 250 characters under "Custom code > content", and you can't see the option to enable more than 250 characters in the tiki interface as in the above screenshot, you can manually do so in the database itself.

Image


You can go to your database using PhpMyAdmin? (database tiki19_drecerca in this example above, select tiki_preferences table, and edit the "value" field of the table (see the hand icon on the screenshot, on the edit button) from "varchar(250)" to "text", so that it ends like in the previous screenshot.

Examples

Adding a banner logo so that it fills the top of your site.

Here is one of several different ways. This one in particular puts your banner logo image in the top left corner and then repeats another image from the right side of that image all the way across to the right side of the page (in effect, continuing the vertical pattern on the right side of your logo horizontally all the way across the page).

Image

To do this, first upload into your gallery your banner logo (image id=3 below) and a 1px wide image of the right side of your logo (image id=14 below). Then go to: Admin, Admin Home, Look & Feel, General Layout (./tiki-admin.php?page=look#layout), Custom Site Header. Check Activate and Publish checkboxes. In the Content text box, enter something like:
<div style="height: 120px; background: transparent url('/tw2/show_image.php?id=14') repeat-x"><img src="/tw2/show_image.php?id=3" /></div>
