Category: Copyright

Copyright and license notices are missing from several *.tikiwiki.org sites. These are required, or participation and content become legally ambiguous.

Perhaps no one is using copyright management, but it totally doesn't work. The copyrights.php file says it can only be called as an include (and has access checking for that), yet it is in fact called directly by the copyright license page.

Also, there is an access check to see whether the feature is installed that appears to fail completely. As a hack I commmented it out to make it work.

Tied to that, the copyright module doesn't work - it looks for "copyrightpage" as the parameter, when the pagename is sent via "page"

I have no idea whether it was broken in 1.9, but looking at the code, I suspect so.

I'm using TikiWiki 2.2. As far as I understand an URL has to be entered into the "license page" field in the Copyright sections of the Admin menu.

In order to show a link to http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ and to display "Creative Commons License" as link text I tried to enter a HTML link using a

{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
a href tag with a target="..." element
{CODE}

and a Wiki link

{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/|Creative Commons License]
{CODE}

Both didn't work as "broken texts" were displayed at the bottom of my wiki page.

The HTML link produced the following output

{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
The content on this page is licensed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0&copyrightpage=HomePage">Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0

and the Wiki link produced

{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}

Plugin Copyright doesn't work: it does not produce any output, following the syntax provided at wiki edit form > "wiki help".

See attempts to document its usage (looking at the notes inside the code aswell), but no success either....

Wiki Syntax for special characters seems to fail in 1.10 (I can get it in WYSIWYG). Thus, ~np~~169~~/np~ no longer shows the copyright symbol.

The problem appears to lie in TikiLib - parse_data
if (!$simple_wiki and $prefs['feature_wysiwyg'] == 'n') {
$this->parse_htmlchar($data);

Here's this issue - I have WYSIWYG set to Y, but NOT showing by default. It seems that the test should be whether WYSIWYG is actually showing - I have no idea what the variable is.
