Introduction
The first version of AulaWiki was developed by
http://www.sociable.es for
Colegio Maria Virgen, a spanish secondary school.
AulaWiki (for Tiki 1.9+ ) has been completely rewritten (since the previous old version for
textTiki 1.8.x) and now it offers a more general set of tools that can be used not only for school (Project management, groupware...). Get the last version known to work on Tiki 1.9.x:
features-aulawiki-1.5.tgz
AulaWiki version 1.6 is a partial (unfinished) adaptation to make it work on Tiki 2.x. It is a work in progress, and new developers joined the effort starting November 2009. See
this forum thread.
The most important concept implemented on AulaWiki, is
Workspaces. It allows groups administration of Tiki resources (users, groups, wiki pages, blogs....).
A workspace can be every thing that you define: a course, a student group, a project....

How to install AulaWiki?
NOTE: Get the last version known to work on Tiki 1.9.x:
features-aulawiki-1.5.tgz
As of October 2008, AulaWiki 1.6 is not yet fully working on Tiki 2.x sites. There some work in progress on that direction.
To see the installation video — Click Here
First you should click on Admin mods, as shown in Figure 1:
Figure 1
The mods page will open and you will need to change the server to get the latest package, because the original one offered is not current. So click on
Mods configuration, see Figure 2:
Figure 2
When the configuration page opens, you'll have the chance to define the mods provider you want to use. By default, you can use
http://mods.tikiwiki.org as in the picture:
Figure 3
NOTE (November 2009):
AulaWiki 1.7.2 is adapted to work on Tiki3.x dev:LTS (Long Term Support) branch.
There we could switch to use other mod providers. In this case, change the settings and click on the Save button. then click on the Mods Install/uninstall link to bring you back to the mods page (see Figure 3). Usually you don't need to change the mods provider, since mods.tikiwiki.org tend to be the most updated and complete one to use.
Now you will need to download and install the package. You may need to go to the root of your install and run the fixperms.sh script to allow you to install this. To ensure that you have the latest version, click on
Update remote index (Figure 4). Lets say that the latest version is 0.5 (change for newer version were needed in the following instructions and figures). Click on the link
0.5 as circled in red on the left. The last step is to install the package by clicking on the link
install that is circled in red on the right (see Figure 4).
Figure 4
If you already have an earlier version of the Mod installed on your site (for instance, 0.5 and the latest version is 0.6), then you'll have the option to upgrade your Mod (you'll see the option
0.5 > 0.6). Click on the
>0.6 link next to the install field to upgrade your AulaWiki Mod.
There are a few ways to get the menu to refresh to bring up the Aulawiki options. But your best bet is to log out and then log back in.
Quick start
- Use "Admin>Admin mods" to get the code, from: http://mods.tikiwiki.org
