As I understand the feature Auto TOC, once enabled at a system level it automatically applies to ALL pages, but can be disabled on any individual page.
On our site, only a small minority of pages benefit from having a table of contents and we've been making use of the maketoc plugin to achieve that for many years across multiple versions of TW on those few pages as required. On our site we would need to edit several thousand pages to disable Auto TOC on a page by page basis as currently implemented..
Whilst we appreciate the maketoc plugin has its issues, we read with great concern on page Endangered Features https://dev.tiki.org/Endangered-features that consideration is being given to deprecate the maketoc plugin in favour of autotoc.
Before such a change is make, we would wish that a new option be added that allows Auto TOC to be enabled but by default it DISABLES the appearance of a toc on every page. Those few pages which would then benefit from a toc would be able to enable it. This would essentially reverse the current situation where it can be disabled in some pages.
Thank you
To help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show2.tiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show2.tiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show2.tiki.org.
The URL for the show.tikiwiki.org instance that demonstrates this bug is at: http://emmarrbee-11078-7714.show.tikiwiki.org. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show". This is different from the initial login and password for a new Tiki which is "admin" and "admin".
For the install log, see http://emmarrbee-11078-7714.show.tikiwiki.org/info.txt
Note that if you see PHP errors or a Tiki claiming to be missing third party software, the instance creation is probably not finished. Please wait a couple minutes and reload.
Snapshots are database dumps of the configuration that developers can download for debugging. Once you have reproduced your bug on the show.tikiwiki.org instance, create a snapshot that can then be downloaded by developers for further investigation.
Snapshots can be accessed at: http://emmarrbee-11078-7714.show.tikiwiki.org/snapshots/. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show".
