Here is a summary of the steps I took to configure this XWiki website via GUI. The configurations required for your XWiki website may vary depending on your needs. The Administration page can be found here: Triple bar icon (upper right corner) > Administer Wiki. Here you can find the different options like Look & Feel or Extensions.
Measures
- Delete non-required extensions:
- Extensions > Extensions > In the selection menu, select "Installed Extensions" > Search for "Tour Application", "Help Application" and "Sandbox Application" and uninstall them
- Upload Logo (displayed in the upper left corner of the website):
- Look & Feel > Themes > Color Theme > COLOR THEME > Customize > Logos > Choose an attachment > Browse > Upload and select > Safe & View
- Add a tab bar below the website header:
- Look & Feel > Menus > Add new entry > (create a menu, for example "Header Menu")
- Add links to each bullet point so that users who click on the tab are directed to the appropriate page.
- At the bottom of the Menu page: Menu Display Location = After the page header; Menu Visibility Scope = Global.
- Adapt navigation panel items to your needs (the boxes at the edges like "Navigation" or "Recently Created")
- Look & Feel > Panels > Panel List
- Adapt the footer - Hide XWiki version and add copyright information.
- Look & Feel > Presentation > Footer > Here you can find the fields "Copyright" and "Version".
- Since an empty "Version" field results in the current XWiki version being displayed, I left the "Copyright" field empty and entered the license in the "Version" field. Here is the content of the license for this website:
The contents of this website are available under the <a style="text-decoration:underline;" href="https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/deed.en">CC0 1.0 Universal license</a>; additional terms may apply.
- Change browser tab title:
- Look & Feel > Presentation > Header > Title > Remove the " - XWiki"
- Change favicon: Look & Feel > Themes > Skin > Customize > Edit > Logo > Choose Attachment > Browse > Select the image you want to have as a favicon. Make sure that the name of the image matches the names mentioned in the documentation. For example, svg files must be named "icons.xwiki.favicon.svg". > Upload and select image > Save & View
- Enable justification in editor:
- Editing > WYSIWYG Editor >
- Default WYSIWYG Editor > CKEditor > Save (Note: There are two "Save" buttons on this page.)
- CKEditor > Disables Plugins > Open selection of disabled plugins > uncheck "justify" plugin > click on "Save" button below
- Editing > WYSIWYG Editor >
- Disable registration of new accounts:
- Users & Rights > Rights > XWikiAdminGroup > Add a check at "Register". Implicitly all other groups (including unregistered users) lose their right to register new accounts. See the docs for further details.
- Set up mailing:
- Mail > Mail Sending > Email address to send from > (enter the necessary fields to enable XWiki's mailing functionality)
- Users & Rights > Registration > User Email verification > Yes
- Adapt the timezone:
- Content > Localization > Date/Time > Timezone
