Learn how to customize a wiki’s appearance.

You can use a wiki’s admin settings to do the following:

Change the wiki’s title, description, contact email, and icon Â

Change the wiki’s theme Â

Choose which group services are available Â

Create a podcast and integrate it with iTunes Â

Choose who can read, write, or administer the wiki Â

Choose who can make comments and which comments are moderated Â

Add a custom tag-search sidebar to the main page Â

These settings are sucient for most wikis. However, if you have special needs—for

example, if you want to use a specic organization’s style, or if you want to change the

appearance and names of the default sidebars on the front page—you must edit les

located on the server.

The settings you customize aect wikis when you view them in a desktop Internet

browser or on a mobile device, such as iPhone.

Theme File Structure Overview

A theme is composed of Cascading Style Sheet (.css) les, property list (.plist) les,

image les (usually .png and .jpg), and sometimes JavaScript (.js) and Extensible

Stylesheet Language (.xsl) les.

All themes use the CSS les located at:

/usr/share/collaboration/css/required/

However, CSS les located in individual theme folders take precedence and override

the settings in this folder.

Individual theme folders are subfolders with a .wikitheme extension that are located

within this folder:
