To create a profile:
1. Start a new wiki page on profiles.tikiwiki.org
Do not use spaces or special characters in the page name. Underscore (_) is OK.
2. Insert a template.
Various templates have been set up for each of the
handlers with sample code to imitate. The best is start from a working profile example. Install one first to make sure it works, and copy-paste the wiki text to a new page. Also see the
profile developer documentation for details about the basic syntax.
You can check the syntax of YAML with the syntax highlighter of your text editor (such as
Notepad++)
(Some online checkers:
http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/, an emacs-yaml-mode extension)
3. Save.
Check the details for that kind of handler. See if you got it right.
4. Recheck, Re-save and Categorize.
Categorize it as "Not Tested" until you have successfully used it.
Once it is categorized, it will appear on the list of profiles available on the profile server.
5. Load your profile on your own site.
