| 1 | 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. Being logged in as the admin user, 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**. | ||

| 3 | ### Measures | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | * Delete non-required extensions: | ||
| 6 | * Extensions > Extensions > In the selection menu, select "Installed Extensions" > Search for "Tour Application", "Help Application" and "Sandbox Application" and uninstall them | ||
| 7 | * Upload Logo (displayed in the upper left corner of the website): | ||
| 8 | * Look & Feel > Themes > Color Theme > COLOR THEME > Customize > Logos > Choose an attachment > Browse > Upload and select > Safe & View | ||
| 9 | * Add a tab bar below the website header: | ||
| 10 | * Look & Feel > Menus > Add new entry > (create a menu, for example "Header Menu") | ||
| 11 | * Add links to each bullet point so that users who click on the tab are directed to the appropriate page. | ||
| 12 | * At the bottom of the Menu page: Menu Display Location = After the page header; Menu Visibility Scope = Global. | ||
| 13 | * Adapt navigation panel items to your needs (the boxes at the edges like "Navigation" or "Recently Created") | ||
| 14 | * Look & Feel > Panels > Panel List | ||
| 15 | * Adapt the footer - Hide XWiki version and add copyright information. | ||
| 16 | * Look & Feel > Presentation > Footer > Here you can find the fields "Copyright" and "Version". | ||
| 17 | * 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 are two examples: | ||

| 22 | |||
| 23 | * Change browser tab title: | ||
| 24 | * Look & Feel > Presentation > Header > Title > Remove the " - XWiki" | ||
| 25 | * 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](http://sandbox.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/How+do+I+add+a+favicon+for+my+wiki). For example, svg files must be named "icons.xwiki.favicon.svg". > Upload and select image > Save & View | ||
| 26 | * Enable justification in editor: | ||
| 27 | * Editing > WYSIWYG Editor > | ||
| 28 | * Default WYSIWYG Editor > CKEditor > Save (Note: There are two "Save" buttons on this page.) | ||
| 29 | * CKEditor > Disables Plugins > Open selection of disabled plugins > uncheck "justify" plugin > click on "Save" button **below** | ||
| 30 | * Disable registration of new accounts: | ||
| 31 | * Users & Rights > Rights > XWikiAdminGroup > Add a check at "Register". Implicitly all other groups (including unregistered users) lose their right to register new accounts.

| 32 | * Allow comments feature for unregistered users: | ||
| 33 | * Users & Rights > Rights > Remove the "Comment" check for each group. This implicitly allows all groups (including unregistered users) to use the comments feature. | ||
