<p>Imported current content</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[TikiWiki]] is a really cool wiki with features and programmability up the kazoo.<br /> <br /> Advantages:<br /> # pretty<br /> # tailorable: cool content management and Smarty template programmability of the whole system plus powerful plugin capability<br /> # full personal and group communications support in addition to wiki including polls and surveys.<br /> # tons of features already available notably attachments and HTML formatting.<br /> <br /> <br /> The tiki homepage is at http://tikiwiki.sourceforge.net/<br /> ----<br /> I had a question about the [[TikiWiki]] package. Apparently it runs using Smarty as the template manager and PEAR to interface with the database. Are these binary executables that run on the host server, or are they just a pile of PHP scripts?<br /> <br /> I have been looking into this recently as there are a few applications that I would like to try to develop on this platform. Everything is customizable as far as I can tell. One can very easily change almost all aspects of the visual presentation using a fairly complex set of styles. I installed it in a flash on my home [[WinXP]] box with [[EasyPHP]]. I am thinking about using it as a personal knowledge management tool. For now I am just playing around with the styles and the functionality to get my mind around all it can do.<br /> <br /> Free collaboration tool. Just add water. ---[[DavidSiegel]]<br /> ----<br /> Smarty templates and PEAR database interface are pure PHP code.<br /> <br /> I&#039;ve been evaluating [http://plone.org Plone] which takes a lot more to run but may be more robust for commertial grade free collaboration. [[FlorianKonnertz]] did a really great [[NooWiki:FrontPage ]](down at the moment, hope it comes back) using Plone. It is writen in Python and Zope.<br /> <br /> [[TikiWiki]] is still the best choice for low budget and time commitment portals.<br /> <br /> -- [[JimScarver]]</div>
