Send notification email to forum moderator when a user posts a message which is queued pending moderation.

To reproduce the environment:
log is as user
u: user1
p: user1

here:
http://xavi-9794-5370.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=1

and post a message.

User "admin" is moderating all messages of that forum, but he gets no email nor intratiki message of new forum posts pending moderation.

admin credentials:
u: admin
p: 12345

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
This message ("Multivalue configuration not found") seems to be an error message and it's displaying in every forum post footer in master currently.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
Sometimes we have forum topics with a large number of comments. Let's say the default settings allow to display only the first 20 comments on the first page and provides a "next page" link to the following 20 comments.

But this link doesn't work correctly, there aren't any comments displayed on page 2 (only the initial posting).

I tried this behaviour on the tikiwiki demo page, too ... it's the same bug in the demo.

How can I correct this?

At the Tiki.org forums ( [https://tiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=4&comments_parentId=62116#threadId=62160] ), after submitting a reply, I get an error: "No thread indicated." Of course I was in a thread when I submitted the post. This happened in one thread but I was able to post a reply in another thread at about the same time, with no problem.

File attachments to a forum post results in 0 (zero) byte size.
* Results are the same using either database or file system for storage.
* File attachment description shows correct file size.
* Downloading the attachment results in 0 byte size.
* Files stored in database shows (using phpmyadmin) correct file size.
* Files stored in file system shows 0 byte size.

Configuration:
* "Can attach to forum posts (tiki_p_forum_attach)" set to allow.


You can log into the show.tikiwiki.org instance using "tester" and "tester". Attachments created as "admin" and "tester" are 0 byte size when downloaded.

Updated from Xavi:
Confirmed in trunk, and this used to work as expected at least in 12.x {sign user="xavi" datetime="2016-01-20T10:04:07+00:00"}
I fetched a snapshot of the b dump (since there was no admin password indicated in the bug report, and to make it easy to see any apache error message logged in the server), but I don't get any error shown in the local apache logs (using trunk).

Apologies... "admin" and "tikiwiki"

When posting to a forum in 1.10cvs (from mid june 2007), if you preview your post, you cannot see by default the html form to edit your content again. If you press on "new topic", the form opens with your content... (but it should be shown by default, as in previous releases)

phpBB is a popular open source forum software.
Sometimes, a forum is not enough.
So, the data must be migrated from phpBB to Tiki forums...

If you want to help:
Please post links to similar scripts.
ex.: phpbb to invision board, etc
If/when we do a script, we should do for all major forums.

__From kerrnel22 on 11/20/07:__

I have almost completed an integrated TikiWiki forum migration tool for 1.9.8.x and 1.10. Initial release will be to migrate only Tiki forums from one Tiki install to another. However, hooks are in place, and the intention is there, to work on extending the migration tool to importing of phpBB2 (or any other forum software) into Tiki. If you would like more information, email tiki.kerrnel@kerris.com. I expect a general release of the forum migration tool (for Tiki forums only) into cvs of both branches for beta testing by December 1/07. If all goes well, I'll have something released for phpBB2 migration prior to Dec 31.

12.x: accents not shown properly in forum posts when wysiwyg-html is on

Reproduced in precarios~~black:.org~~

And in
http://xavi-9794-5228.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=1&comments_parentId=1&thread_sort_mode=commentDate_asc#comments

See he reply that says:
{CODE()}
Otro más
{CODE}

and it should say:
{CODE()}
Otro más
{CODE}

If you disable storing syntax as HTML but revert it to store wiki syntax, then everything is fine again for new posts.

This should be migrated to the community site, and handled with ((doc:Organic groups)) and ((doc:User Trackers))

13.x: --Forum Thread Rating doesn't display icons for value 0, wrong icon for value 1-- (fixed) {sign user="xavi" datetime="2014-06-03T22:14:56+00:00"}, and no icons when labels are set beyond values (unfixed still) {sign user="xavi" datetime="2014-06-03T22:14:56+00:00"}

I have it reproduced reusing the show instance of this other bug report:

and try to rate the thread. No options are allowed, just a button to rate with a "User Rating" and no options.

And compare with this 12.x installation (ask Xavi if you want a Tiki account to log in this 12.x installation):

An email message hasn't integrated into the forum. Tho forum posting is just empty. I'll attach a zip with the original message.

Setup:
1) Create a new forum
2) Enable the post-by-email function (and create the associated email address)
3) Send an email post
4) Send a second identical post
5) Attempt to visit the forum - denied

We use one of our Tiki forums to archive contents from a mailing list - we have a dedicated address which is enrolled in said (external) list. This normally works great, except we were unable to visit the specific forum recently - the error message notified us that duplicate name and content posts were prohibited. It turns out the mailing list sends out regular (monthly) notifications which happen to be identical. It seems that that the POP server is polled when the forum is accessed - the message is obtained, and the post attempt it denied, and effectively locks the user out of the forum.

Verified on the opensourcecms 1.9.11 demo site.

User set forum style as Plain and save it after next login style is Threaded again.

This should be migrated to the community site, and handled with ((doc:Organic groups)) and ((doc:User Trackers))

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
Whenever we select »Rating (descending)« for the parameter »Default sorting of topics« (I hope this is close enough to the english i18n, because we actually make use of the german i18n of Tiki) in a forum's settings (second to last parameter in the settings), and try to view the respective forum, we are presented a page with the error message:
* »[[Titlebar:] System Error
+
+ [[Body:] Things to check:
+
+ 1. Did you complete the Tiki Installer?
+ 2. Is your database corrupt? Please see how to repair your database
+ 3. Are your database credentials accurate? (username, database name, etc in db/local.php)«
As long as we stick to »Newest Postings«, we can use the respective forum as usual. Also, the ratings of topics are displayed in the topics list with no problem.

This issue may possibly be related to the following bug reports:

Can you please retest in currently supported Tiki versions (e.g. Tiki12, ...)? Thanks in advanced {sign user="xavi" datetime="2014-02-07T09:48:35+00:00"}

Attachements (on file tree, not db) are not uploaded as expected to forum post with attached file + preview button.

Perms seems to be ok (full admin user). Directory to upload forums chmoded to 777 and no change.

Similar dirs for image gals, file gals, etc. work fine.

Working with 1.9.2 on linux.

We recently upgraded precarios.org site from 3.6 to 5.0 (and migrated to a new server; dns propagating right now).

Since then, when you post a message in a forum that you are watching, you don't get a copy of your own email, but only copies of emails sent by others.

This is expected to allow users to follow a full thread in the email program.

For wiki page changes, you get also notification of your own changes.

In v. 1.9.4 forum the number of topics and posts is not working properly. I have added posts just to test the forum functions, but when I delete them the number of topics and posts is not reduced! This can be very confusing for students, that is, to go to a forum that says 6 posts and 6 topics (because I added them during testing), and then not find any posts!

I (kerrnel22) am seeing this when migrating individual topics from one forum to another. The forum_prune() function does not appear to be operating correctly. I cannot see any errors so not sure what's causing the problem.

As described in title. Problem exists when forum attachments are stored in linked files (vs. database)

Something should be done also for case where forum topic or thread is deleted. function remove_comment($threadId) does not do this either.

Problem is that the following function in commentslib.php does not delete linked file
function remove_thread_attachment($attId) {
232 $query = "delete from `tiki_forum_attachments` where `attId`=?";
233
234 $this->query($query,array($attId));
235 }

A user with all forum-perms except tiki_p_admin_forum can edit any forum post.
That shouldn't be like that..

A user is subscribed to a forum. Everything works fine (no messages are sent by the server to blank email addresses).

An admin deletes that user.

When a new message is posted to that forum, there is a message sent to a blank address, which is then returned to the server users from which the posts where sent.

It seems as if the forum still tries to send a copy of the post to that user, but has no address to send it to, since the user was deleted.

Currently Forum Sections can be created when a forum is being created/edited.

(described here https://tiki.org/forumthread72458-Editing-or-removing-Forum-sections )

However, once created, Forum Sections cannot be easily edited or deleted. There is a workaround described in the link above, but the aim of this ticket is to improve the management of Forum Sections, so that they can be

* easily edited
* easily deleted
* sortable, without having to resort to numbers or spaces in front of them



This has been discussed with Marc Laporte and work should begin shortly.
