{maketoc(title="Page contents")}
Tikipedia is based on Mediawiki's Vector style, also used at Wikipedia.org. The Tikipedia theme for Tiki CMS was done to illustrate the flexibility of Tiki's design capabilities. Please note that the right-hand column of this web site is turned off when the Tikipedia theme is demonstrated. The right column can be used with the Tikipedia theme if desired, but the appearance is then less authentic since Mediawiki has no right-hand column.
New information for Tiki 7!
Be sure to remove all old template files
Older Tikipedia template files (in templates/styles/tikipedia) are incompatible with Tiki 3 and must be removed, for the theme to work correctly. The Tikipedia theme now uses no special Smarty template (.tpl) files. It relies on the flexibility provided by Tiki's module system for page content.
Uses normal Tiki modules
To retain the Mediawiki appearance, modules shouldn't be put in the Top and Topbar module zones. This assures that the top of the left column, where the logo is, will be flush with the page top.
Recommended module assignments (in this order) -> Pagetop: login_box (nobox=y, mode=popup), search (nobox=y); Left: logo (nobox=y, flip=n, style=overflow: hidden), Tools (title=Tools; custom module data described below), menu (type=vert).
Tools module data (this is moved here from tiki-wiki_topline.tpl, about lines 22-135):
