History: TikiLite

Motivation

Some users with limited resources (be it hosting with a specified disk and/or file quota) often wonder how they could get rid of all those features they do not need. Even if the features are nice and cool, they are often not anything everybody needs. An end-user installing tiki would nowadays install many 1000's of files, as well as several 100 tables for every database they install.

This page would be a documented guide to help them determine what they can easily remove, where to do it and what tables it uses. Please feel free to add to this page. Add to it a versioning scheme ...

It may become a resouce also for further development and for crossreferencing all files related to certain pieces of tiki, should something like TikiCoreWishlist or TikiCorePrototype be developed in the future and step by step conversion of the existing features would need to be done. It would also give us a picture of how intertwined some features are with others in contrary to distinct features.

The works

How this page is to be edited/read:

for every feature, add the database tables it needs. Then add the files that are theirs solely. Then add the files they depend on that are files belonging to other features. As well as database tables that belong to others.

Also make sure that any library used (besides Smarty/adodb) is also mentioned, every img for a theme, ...

An example would be

MyFeature
