How to Edit a Template in Your Tiki

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Be aware that there is a difference between Content Templates and Tiki Templates.

   This is where you will find your Theme tab.
   
   By 'Look and Feel'
   
   it is the look and the feel of your Tiki that is being addressed. ,, You will see a very long list of templates.
   
   You should have an idea of what you are looking for.
   
   For example: if you want to edit your SendMail template, hold down CTRL F (for your find feature) and search for SendMail.
   
   If you don't find it, experiment with spacing or check your spelling.
   
   If you decide to customize your template files, you should create your own theme instead of changing an existing theme's template files.
   
   This will make future Tiki upgrades easier — you don't want to overwrite your customizations each time you upgrade! , You will not be able to save any page that has JavaScript in it.
   
   This includes a page that already has it in it.
   
   As a protective measure, the code will be stripped by the editor.
   
   Use your FTP program to get into the page and edit it.
