About TikiProfiles
TikiWiki has a lot of
features and can be used in a very wide range of
use cases. However, configuring TikiWiki can be very long and complex due to the numerous amount of options.
TikiProfiles will solve this problem partially by allowing to configure sets of options at once and build base configurations.
This website will be used as the documentation center for profiles and as a primary repository for TikiWiki experts to share their experience and collaborate on default configurations.
How
Each profile is a configuration patch that can be applied on top of any TikiWiki installation. Profiles will allow to change configurations in a TikiWiki installation and create various objects. At this time, the exact object types that will be available is not defined. The objective would be to make all objects accessible, but this may take a significant amount of time.

Samples
Currently Supported
At this time, TikiProfiles is only a code-level API and is not ready for prime time. Here is a list of the currently supported features:
Roadmap
Other handlers will be created afterwards in an attempt to support all of TikiWiki's data types. Most needed ones will be used first.
Todo
Nice to have
- After I install a profile I should be able to be sent to a URL (with the data/features I just installed)
Once you have installed a profile you can't install again (even if profile has improved and you may have deleted the stuff created by the profile). Maybe an override option would be good. Done
Multiple YAML sections per page, to facilitate readability Done
- To be able to remove modules (ex.: remove login)
Additional settings for groups, like
- Group Homepage
- Users Information Tracker (should be variables of newly created groups, needed for UserTrackers)
- Users Information Tracker Fields (should be variables of newly created groups)
- User can assign to the group himself
