Re: How do I configure the user home and user pages?

posts: 4656 Japan

No, "Home" is the site homepage. Yes, this is a wiki. But one with a rather comprehensive permission system. You need to assign permissions for page editing and other things. Please see the documentation, at http://doc.tikiwiki.org about "Permissions" and "Groups". Permissions are set per group; typically the Registered group has page-editing permission.

There is a "list pages" menu item to see others' pages (and all pages that the user has permission to see) in the default menu (or tiki-listpages.php if you make a custom menu). Also you can assign a module to show recently-created/changed pages (see "Modules" in the docs).

You can activate "each user is admin of his/her pages", which I think will prevent other users from editing that person's pages. But I'm not sure of the details, without checking the docs. You can also have Tiki make a group for each user (group of one), which could be used in assigning editing permissions. Since each group can have its own homepage, this would probably accomplish that goal for you. You can see if the docs have info on this. The best method is to make a few test users yourself to check that permissions and homepages, etc, work as you intend.

I'm not sure offhand about giving each user a form to fill in for a personal homepage. This may be possible using Trackers, but is probably a little involved and I'm not sure if it's fully documented yet. There is also a feature called "content templates" in which, on the edit page, the page author can paste pre-made (by admin or other) content into a wiki page, which can then be edited or added to or whatever, if that meets your needs.
