Creating Profiles

In a Tiki Profiles Repository, each profile is stored as YAML (YAML Ain't Markup Language) on a separate wiki page. YAML is a human-readable method to express complex programming data structures.

Note: See http://www.yaml.org/ for more information on YAML.

There are two methods to create a new profile:

Creating a Profile from a Site

Starting with Tiki 7.0, you can create a new Tiki profile from an existing site by exporting the site's information to YAML.

1. From the Administration page, click Profiles .
2. On the Profiles page, click the Export tab.
   
   

   Exporting to a new profile
   • Use the Object type option to select which objects (such as permissions) to export to YAML.
   • Use the Export modified preferences as YAML area to select specific preferences.
3. Click Export.
   Tiki creates the necessary YAML.
