Oh, I posted before reading/responding to your last paragraphs.

>Basically, I'm using the collaborative aspect of tikiwiki for the developers and maintainers of the site, but the users won't intereact with the site. The users will see the other features of tikiwiki, e.g., faqs, galleries, calendars, etc.

OK, this is the typical Tiki site arrangement. At a Tiki site I'm in charge of http://phinixi.com, we have public pages but also a number of working groups, each of which has private pages, file galleries, etc. An interesting quality of Tiki is that the typical black-and-white anonymous public vs. site insider arrangement is made much more flexible.

> It looks like "Control by Objects" will solve my problem. But will it assign a theme only to the specific page listed as an object, or will it also assign the theme to all pages referenced by that page? In other words, am I going to have to manually assign a theme to all the public pages or will the control work hierarchically?

I may not be up to speed on that question myself. As far as I know, the assignment is only for the specific page. You can also use Categories to group pages and other objects, and then assign a theme to a specificy Category (and Categories are very useful in themselves when you start getting a lot of content). But here again the issue may not be the need to assign a theme, but rather to assign a permission.

> Thanks again for all your help; it is much appreciated.

Well, I'm often the person asking questions, so I try to help when I can.
