    I went for Categories for permissions and am regretting it a bit now, as the initial amount of work on them is equal to no. of Categories*no. of usergroups*no of features. The other thing is that child pages do not inherit the Category of their parents, which undermines the Category approach. If you have static pages I can see why Categories would not be so important. Articles are well implemented. The modules work well with them as well.


    It is important to remember than permissions are inherited downward but override upward. This primerQuestion might help.

    Child pages do inherit the category permissions of their parents, if it is included in the category. For example, if you have:

    • Category A
      • Page 1
      • Category B
        • Page 2


    Category B is a child of Category A. However, you can potentially have Page 2 included in Category B but not Category A. Tiki is highly flexible — but the trade-off is complexity.

    PS I do like the way you have setup those text blocks on your site. I assume they are modules that you've set up a CSS for?


    Thanks, Wayne, you just have go to 'Edit CSS', paste the additional css (in this case 'classes' - beginning with a full stop) in, then save. Then you can use the classes in Tiki boxes and divs, as on this page: http://www.opgo.co.uk/twx/BOXQuestion

    You need to click on the link at the bottom to see the CSS.


    An alternative is to include the custom CSS within Tiki instead of adding it to the .css file, as illustrated hereQuestion. This method has two distinct advantages:

    1. Giving write access to the .css is a potential security risk (as you're allowing users to write to your server root)
    2. When you customizing the .css you'll need to re-apply the customizations for each subsequent Tiki upgrade.

    But we might get told off for mis-using the forum thread/topic, however,not sure where to move a discussion like this too. I will investigate 😊


    Not at all! Please do use the forum (and feel free to create wiki pages, as needed) on the Community site. That's what it is here for!
