The BookStacked theme for Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware uses color and other design cues from the MIT-licensed BookStack wiki software (https://www.bookstackapp.com/). Since the underlying HTML is different between the two software platforms, Tiki configuration changes can be made to further emulate a BookStack website.

Optimize page content width for reading in large displays

To limit the width of "book pages" for good readability (lines not too wide) as the original BookStack does:

• Create a category "Bookpage" at tiki-admin_categories.php.
• On tiki-admin.php?page=category, for the item "Categories to add as CSS classes to body", add the category "Bookpage".
• Then assign to the "Bookpage" category each wiki page that is a BookStack page. (The only effect of this currently is to limit the widths of the page title and content, etc. to 940px in screens over 1400px wide.)

About the sticky side menu

The BookStack app's side menu stays in view when the page is scrolled. This limits the display of menu dropdowns to the width of the side column, so Tiki's Smartmenus feature, the dropdowns of which extend horizontally, should not be used with the BookStacked theme, if the side column menu has dropdowns. The default vertical Bootstrap menus' dropdowns extend vertically so work well with this theme.

Organizing the wiki content as books and pages

Presumably, a Tiki structure will be used the for each book in order to get the navigation links at the top of the pages (which perhaps could be styled to be more similar to the original but this isn't done yet). Or there could be one "Books" structure and then each book would be a branch within this structure.

Emulating the BookStackapp top page ("Books")

There is no out of the box solution to emulating https://demo.bookstackapp.com/books as this is beyond the scope of what a Tiki theme does so the solution for this involves site configuration. Ideally, Tiki would offer a display of wiki structures as shown on https://demo.bookstackapp.com/books. For this, each structure would have to have an image, description and activity reports associated with it along with the title that it currently has. Also there would need to be a way to display this perhaps be means of a "Structures" module whose parameters might include which structures to display or which not to, whether to display them as a simple list or as a vertical array of cards or as rows of cards as shown on the original page.

Simple method without a tracker

Since this isn't coded at the present time, such a page could be created by hand in a wiki page, in the simplest way just by listing the links to each book's (structure's) top page. This listing could be embellished by an image for each book, etc. This page would need to be edited by hand every time a new book is created or removed.

Using a tracker

Listing things in Tiki's wiki pages in a more elegant way usually means using a tracker to provide the information. In this scenario, there could be a "Books" tracker and each book would be a tracker item. There would be fields for the book title, description, image, wiki page (top page of structure), etc. Then probably PluginList, with a wiki template to provide the layout for each item, would be used to display the information on the "Books" page.

After this is set up, then the book author would create a new tracker item (could also be done via a form on a wiki page). I am not aware of a way to create a structure from within a tracker, though. If this isn't possible, then the first step should probably be to create the structure for the book, and then select it's top page in the tracker via the page selector field.
