| Figure 1. The Admin: Features page |
Clicking the Features
icon on the Admin Panel (see TikiAdminSettings ) takes you to the Features screen, where you can enable or disable Tiki features. See Fig 1.
Figure 1. A view of the Features Page
Use this screen to choose which features will be available in your tiki. Thus, you can tailor Tiki to your specific needs without configuring the entire application. The default installation of Tiki enables very few features.
Remember, when you disable a feature, all the screens and modules related to the feature will produce an error screen if accessed. If you are receiving an error screen when accessing a feature, check this page first.
TikiFeatures provides short descriptions of the main Tiki features. Follow the links below for additional documentation on each of the features you can enable or disable from this screen. In addition, while viewing the Administration screen, you may click any term for help!
Starting with Tikiwiki 1.10, the Admin: Features page has each feature grouped into common sections.

General Layout options
Figure 5. The General Layout Options section
| Left column | Display left column |
| Right column | Dispaly right column |
| Top bar | Display the top bar, possibly including site tabs, search, banners, logo and/or login field (depending on theme and preferences) |
| Bottom bar | Display the bottom bar, possibly including server stats, powered by logos and/or RSS XML links (depending on theme and preferences) |
| Layout per section | When this is enabled the page layout can be individually configured for different Tiki sections. |
| Admin layout per section | Access the admin layout screen by clicking the Admin layout per section link. |
This part of the features section can be used to control the look and feel (layout) of your Tiki site. Basically, you can enable/disable the columns, the top bar (where the Tiki version is indicated) and the footer. If you want a 1-column layout without changing anything in the code, this is the way to go.
Some users ask if there's a need to display the copyright message for Tiki. The answer is a clear NO. You can use Tiki for whatever you want and you can customize it to look exactly as you want.
Note that you may want to enable the Layout per section option. When this is enabled the page layout can be individually configured for different Tiki sections. For example, you may want to remove the right column only in the forums. If so, enable the layout per section option and use the admin layout screen to select individual layouts for sections. (Access the admin layout screen by clicking the Admin layout per section link.)
