You can create a category tree with as many sub-categories as you want. Any Tiki object can then be added to one or many categories. The user will be able to use a category browser--navigating the category tree with links to the objects in the category. This can be used to let the users find all the information your Tiki site has about a specific topic/subject regardless if the information is in an article, a weblog or a file gallery. >todo> ((Category)) >todo> ((Category User)) >todo> ((Category Admin)) >todo> ((Categories Details)) !!Banner ads Some time ago banners were used to generate revenues for successful websites. Today this practice is not that frequent but banners are still popular. Why? Because they are a great way to generate traffic for a web site. Community sites, weblogs, e-zines and many sites can use banners and exchange banners with other sites to generate more visitors, more page views and more traffic to their sites. Tiki supports image banners, HTML banners (used in banner exchange sites), and text ads. Banners are assigned to zones in your application. There are a lot of configurable options for banners such as maximum number of impressions, weekdays when the banner can be displayed, hours, etc. Banners clients are normal Tiki users and they can view banners assigned to them accessing a page where banner stats are displayed. Including banners in Tiki is easy using a very simple syntax in any template or user module. >todo> ((Banners)) >todo> ((Banner User)) >todo> ((Banner Admin)) !!Modules Those boxes in right and left columns are modules. The role of modules is to reach the informations in a synthetic visual box. A whole list of 60 existing modules are provided in tikiwiki for accessing other features content, and admin can make his own modules very easily. >todo> ((Module)) >todo> ((Module Admin)) !!ChatRooms Admins can create chat channels that users can join. Once in a channel, users post messages that are broadcast to all the users in the same chatroom.

This feature makes TikiWiki a perfect tool to create voice services fast and easy.

HAWHAW and TikiWiki are optimized for the Voxeo voice browser. !!Mobile Tiki Mobile permits web developpers to offer a WAP / PDA / i-mode version of their site with the same content and without any extra work!

Basically, it lets you send/receive objects to and from other Tiki-powered sites. You can control who can send you objects and who can admin the received objects. A special inbox is used to examine received objects and you can edit the objects, remove them or accept them from this inbox. Accepted objects will appear as normal Tiki objects. For example, if you see a nice Wiki page about a specific topic or a set of pages useful to your site you can ask for them and use this feature to receive the pages from another site. The communications center is based on an XMLRPC api to send/receive objects so you can build desktop applications or adapt existing systems to interact with your Tiki site. >todo> ((Communication Center)) !!Spellchecking The use of an extetrnal spell checker make easier the input of data in wiki and articles. >todo> ((Spellcheck)) >todo> ((Spellcheck User)) >todo> ((Spellcheck Admin)) !!JgraphPad drawings JGraphPad is a powerful java drawing applet. >todo> ((Draw)) >todo> ((Drawings (Legacy doc))) !!HTML pages >todo> ((HTML Pages)) !!Dynamic Content System The Dynamic Content System (DCS) is a very simple concept. You can edit blocks of HTML code or text from a admin screen and you can display a block in any Tiki template or user module. Updating the block content will update the template.

You can display anything you like anywhere in the screen and you can set up portions that can be changed or that change automatically along time. >todo> ((Dynamic Content)) >todo> ((Dynamic Content Admin)) !!Polls >todo> ((Polls)) >todo> ((Poll User)) >todo> ((Poll Admin)) !!RSS feeds Tiki is remarkably flexible when it comes to RSS.

Search picks through forums, image/file galleries, link directories, CMS articles, blogs and Wiki pages to find the terms you specify. And Tiki compiles search statistics for admins so that they may keep an eye on what users want from their sites. There are two forms of searching: regular and full text. Full-text searching sorts results by the relevance of the match to the search query. Also, search results will be ordered first by relevance, and then by section (Wiki, blog, etc.). Regular, non-full-text searching continues to sort first by section, and then by hits. >todo> ((Search)) >todo> ((Search User)) >todo> ((Search Admin)) >todo> ((Search Details)) !!MyTiki section Logged-in users can enjoy many convenient features in the MyTiki section.
