Category: Alert

I get an annoying "Error" AJAX: error 0 (rejected) for URL: tiki-search-lookup?... on top of pages when requesting some query/navigating away from the page before it finished loading.

Is this necessary to show when I do not care if something did not finished loading yet and I simply want to take another action than waiting till the page finishes loading ajax in the background?

((doc:Alert)) brings some cool new stuff, but it just works for file galleries.

There should be one feature which works everywhere which permits to inform all kinds of people/websites/computers about something. (via email, IM, etc.

possibilities:
http://phpmailer.codeworxtech.com/
http://www.swiftmailer.org/
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.mail.html

While writing my feature request for a history on the article feature, I got several errors from d.t.o.:

{CODE(Colors="Tiki")}


Unable to communicate securely with peer: requested domain name does not match the server's certificate.. RC : 0

Error

Unable to connect to fd8f1a8b53674d9c8d46caffb484411d.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243 . Error #0: stream_socket_client(): unable to connect to fd8f1a8b53674d9c8d46caffb484411d.eu-central-1.aws.cloud.es.io:9243 (Connection refused)

Error

Contact the site administrator. The index needs rebuilding.

Just downloaded 12.o.beta from SourceForge following Jonny's Tiki-devel email of Fri. 22 Nov 2013. Unpacked fine (using zip file). ran "sh setup.sh" going through three standard steps, (c) composer, (f) fix and (x) exit, smoothly.
Started up, automatically switched to install. Went through all steps smoothly.
Entered tiki.
Went through Wizzard. Getting better and smoother all the time; congrats all who are working to make this better.

Before logging off as admin from every new Tiki I create, I always create myself a new user. Did so again this time, and get an annoying (and confusing) error message:
---
__Error(s): No index available.__
---
directly above the information:
"Notice: Account validated successfully.
Information
Account validated successfully. "

The only option provided is in the upper right, to "clear errors".
---
For the record, during the Admin Wizard, I did NOT chose the "Basic Search" but the "Advanced Search" with "MySQL Full-Text Search as my "Unified Search Engine" and "Incremental Index Update".

I think this is just a small annoyance, but can see how this confuses and worries a new user/admin.

In a project management mode, you can use ((watch)) and ((alert)) but not everybody may be watching and alert is extra time.

For small teams and short delays, it could be good to have since_last_visit_new module content to be emailed to each group member periodically.

People get personalized content based on their last login (cool!)


Also, they don't get watches if they login regularly

Tiki does not send out e-mail notification when tracker items are closed. They do get sent when set to pending.

Found that Tiki 9.x (9.0->9.4) has this issue.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
Monitor emails from tiki.org are presently almost always being sent twice at the same time.

One noticeable difference in the two emails is the following indented text near the top of one email and absent from the other:

If you don't want to receive these notifications follow this link:
http://doc.tiki.org/tiki-user_watches.php?id=####

We do not see this with our own installed Tiki 7.2.

I would like to suggest that the search engine takes into account that users sometimes need to have the results of their search grouped.

Per example, here is a screen capture that shows results this way:

#Main result
##Sub-result

::{img type="src" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3166/2777222253_b1f7de9a20.jpg" noDrawIcon="n"}::

Right now, on my site, the result of the search engine gives me *one* link to refer to. Mind you, it is may be better to get one result instead of reciving so many results that we don't get any sense of intelligence.

My 2 cents.

The ((doc:Inter-User Messages)) system is quite nice.

However, it means:
1- That users have duplicate mailboxes
2- And the recipient can't just click reply

On dev.tikiwiki.org, this is not so nice because people already have an internal tiki mailbox on tikiwiki.org

So, let's think about an additional/modified feature called "direct message" or "direct mail".

This would simulate a regular email. (let's plan ahead that this should be able to send other types of messages (jabber, sms, etc.)

The headers could be:
"from" is Full Name ({$Username}) {senderemail}
"to" is Full Name ({$Username}) {recipientemail}
"bcc" to {senderemail} (So we have a trace of what we sent)

In case some spammers get a hold of it, let's have something like this at the bottom:
This message was sent via {$name of site}


Not sure if this should be done with the ((doc:webmail)) feature, or maybe as an option of ((doc:Inter-User Messages))

See how MediaWiki does it for a good example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser/Marclaporte

A lot of people who install this aren't doing it via Fantastico and trying to change email settings to suit your hosting provider is a pain. Editing the php.ini isn't always wise either because what works for one app will break another. I know that you can copy the php.ini to the directory, but that's something of a security risk. There's a reason that the default php.ini is stored outside the web root directory.

I know that I see a lot of users posting on the TikiWiki forums with questions about configuring SMTP.
