Save record.

When viewing, the name of the field is not displayed, even for the user that entered it.

Add support for all relevant microformats

As this is an ongoing process, we'll use a wiki page to coordinate efforts. Please see: ((microformats)).

GroupMail
Project to perform many of the functions of CRM using as many existing Tiki features as possible (dev notes).

Send direct message via tiki-user_information.php
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:

SQL error saving a Contact
tracker item
tiki_contact doesn't "shared" fields correctly.
'Shared' contacts don't shared the field names. If userA creates an entry with a 'custom' field of 'Company' as 'The Smith Company', we see this in the db:


||contactId|fieldId|value|hidden
1 | 7 |The Smith Company|0||


The problem is that other users do not 'inherit' that custom field: so other users seeing that record will see no description of the field name. Indeed, if another user chooses 'Company' from the list of fields to add, it will get a new fieldId:

||contactId | fieldId | value | hidden
1 | 7 | The Smith Company | 0
2 | 23 | Smith Industries | 0 ||

It should, especially for the predefined (semi-custom fields, like 'Company' and 'Street Address', defined in lib/webmail/contactlib.php) 'share' these values with others instead of creating new fieldId's.

Using desktop mail client (ex.: Thunderbird) to reach Tiki contacts, groups or newsletter
Tiki newsletter works well for small volumes.

But for large volumes, as with any web app, sending emails from a server can be a challenge. Risk of being flagged as spammer, high server load/difficult to throttle, limits from your web hosts (ex.: max x emails per hour), etc

A helpful alternative would be something like this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4883

So my Thunderbird client or desktop newsletter application (ex.: [http://gammadyne.com/mmail.htm|Gammadybe Mailer]) should be able to access the TikiWiki database to generate recipient list.



---

Another approach is to make the Tiki contacts (address book) accessible via the LDAP protocol and thus, email clients can access.

Keywords

The following is a list of keywords that should serve as hubs for navigation within the Tiki development and should correspond to documentation keywords.

Each feature in Tiki has a wiki page which regroups all the bugs, requests for enhancements, etc. It is somewhat a form of wiki-based project management. You can also express your interest in a feature by adding it to your profile. You can also try out the Dynamic filter.
