Content and spaces

This section explains what predefined types of content Tricia supports, how they are organised in spaces and how they are linked. On the basis of wiki pages you can define further types of content with additional attributes, relationships and rules (see Basics types)

Predefined types of content

The following predefined content types have special properties and functions and are represented by special icons.

• Files contain all kinds of digital content (text, images, music, etc.) and can be edited with desktop applications direct. Users can find text contained in Office documents and other popular file formats (PDF, etc.) by doing a full text search.
• Wiki pages contain HTML text with hyperlinks and can have types, attributes and comments. A wiki page can also have a higher-level parent page. In addition, a wiki page can have an attachments directory of files which contains embedded images or multimedia elements as well as linked files.
• Blog posts have a publication date and time and contain HTML text and, like wiki pages, can have comments and an attachments directory.
• Persons have a password and an email address.
• Groups have a list of members (references to persons or groups) and special rules for group management.

Organisation of Tricia server content in spaces

Each content item is stored in precisely one space and is identified by a URL, which is composed of the name of the space and the name of the content item.

A Tricia server is divided into the following separate spaces. You can also identify the space by the structure of the URL (address in browser):

• A set of named Wikis (/wikis/), each of which contains wiki pages.
• One of the wikis is the server’s home wiki and is displayed without path input when the server is started.
• A wiki can have a home page where the child pages are displayed in the form of a hierarchical menu for wiki navigation.
• A wiki can also have other wiki pages which are not shown in the hierarchical menu. They can be accessed from search functions or links.
• A set of named Blogs (/blogs/), each of which contains blog posts.

• A single Root folder (/file/), which is structured as a hierarchy of named folders. Each folder can contain files and folders.
• The root folder contains a predefined folder (/file/attachments/), which contains the attachments directories of all wiki pages and blog posts.
• A set of named Groups (/groups/) and named persons (/persons/), related through memberships.
• A space Deleted, which stores deleted or overwritten content (wiki pages, blog posts, files, comments).
