CryptPad

Introduction

The CryptPad feature integrated into Tiki (introduced via Merge Request 9190 and available starting in Tiki 30) allows users to securely view and collaboratively edit office documents directly from their Tiki interface. By connecting Tiki to a CryptPad instance, you benefit from a rich "Office" editor with real-time simultaneous editing, while keeping the organization and storage of your files within Tiki's File Galleries.

Requirements

To use this feature, you need:

• An up-to-date version of Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware (Tiki 30 or later).
• Access to a functional CryptPad instance. This can be the official public instance, or your own self-hosted instance for greater privacy.

Configuration

To enable and link CryptPad to your Tiki platform, follow these steps:

1. Log in as an administrator.
2. Go to the Control Panels.
3. Navigate to the Features tab or use the global preferences search bar.
4. Locate and enable the preference: CryptPad Office Documents (cryptpad_feature).
5. Once enabled, a new field appears: CryptPad base URL (cryptpad_base_url).
6. Enter the base URL of the CryptPad instance you wish to use (for example: https://cryptpad.example.org).

Note: This URL is mandatory to allow the editor's iframe integration in Tiki.
Click on Apply to save your settings.

Usage

Once the configuration is complete, the CryptPad integration is operational for compatible files within your File Galleries.

Supported Formats

The CryptPad integration supports viewing and editing the following modern document formats (Microsoft Office and OpenDocument Format files):

• Word Processing: .docx, .odt
• Spreadsheets: .xlsx, .ods
• Presentations: .pptx, .odp

Editing a Document

1. To edit an office document:
2. Navigate to the File Gallery containing your document (or upload a new one).
3. Click on the file's edit option, and click on Edit with CryptPad.

The CryptPad interface will open directly in your browser, allowing you to modify the content in real-time.
