Have just upgraded from 4.3 to 6.7 and find Plugin Showpages is no longer producing output.

Looked at [http://doc.tiki.org/PluginShowpages] for inspiration and notice that the examples there do not seem to be functioning.

Suspect plugin Listpages now has --equivalent-- similar functionality. --but we have at least one other broken plugin (WantedPages), so want to ask if there is a wider issue here, please?--

Was using ~np~{SHOWPAGES(find=>FAQ_ display=>desc) /}~/np~ but I don't see how to simply display the page description with ListPages.

--Also is there an easy way to find all the pages within our wiki where ShowPages has been used so I can change them to Listpages??--

Thanks,

Martin

Updated 08May12. The issue with WantedPages is now felt to be a separate issue and I'll open a new ticket for that.

Have also now found new to v6 Mass Search & Replace tool within Wiki Admin which is great.

If I choose the field type "date and time" in tracker, I can't set a date before 1970 in the data entry even when I say "start date" 1940.

When context menus are unchecked from look and feel and you applay to "share a link to this file" icon, url for download is served without fileId and tiki returns "File has been deleted (404)"

Since Tiki10 the Tiki SMARTY Plugin, using the 'eval' option to simply display a smarty variable, no longer works because the underpinning smarty function.eval.php is no longer part of the Tiki distribution - the SMARTY Plugin code checks for the availability of function.eval.php in either lib/smarty/libs/plugins/ or the lib/smarty_tiki/ folders and gives an error message "Incorrect parameter"  if it is not found. Its removal is probably due to the move Smarty 3  but it is not clear whether there is Smarty 3 version of eval available. The Tiki 9 version of function.eval.php does not work in 10/11/trunk (gives fatal errors) so this doesn't give us a 'quick fix'.  

Solution needed to be able to 'eval' and display any smarty variable type not just strings

Uploading an image to a file gallery in dev.t.o (thorugh the icon "Choose or upload images" in the textarea toolbar, in case it matters) produces:

"Server I/O error"

It seems that the file gallery is set to use that flash file uploader.

To reproduce the issue:

1- Apply profile http://profiles.tikiwiki.org/Jailroot_Demonstration on trunk

2- Pick perspective "B"

3- Search for "contentA1". You find

A1 and B1 (OK)
A1 A2 A3 (Not OK)

tiki-listpages.php exhibits the proper behavior.

lib/tree/categ_admin_tree.php and categ_picker_tree.php use setFlipWithSign() from tiki-js.js. In trunk, as of r30612, this causes a JavaScript error:

setFlipWithSign is not defined
setFlipWithSign('categorizeid1');

And the category flip sign is unusable. The problem is setFlipWithSign() was removed in r30170.

I added a jscalendar field to a new tracker. On the item entry page, the calendar is drawn underneath the form.

Hello all.

Almost by chance I noticed a behavior which seems wrong regarding the LDAP authentication on TikiWiki 2.0. I'm not sure if it was already present in 1.9.11 but I don't think so. We migrated last week.

Regarding the TW configuration:

- authentication method is "Tiki+PEAR::Auth"
- users cannot register and cannot change password
- "Create user if not in Tiki?" is on
- "Create user if not in Auth?" is off
- "Just use Tiki auth for admin?" is on
- The LDAP auth configuration paramters are correct, the auth itself works well, as it worked in 1.9.11. When TW connects to the LDAP server (OpenLDAP 2.1.30) the authentication works as expected.

This means that a Tiki account is created when LDAP users login for the first time. As expected, in presence of such a user, TW connects to LDAP, authenticates, creates Tiki account and logs the user in (I have some doubts in this last item though). However, when users log in again after this, I would expect that authentication is still delegated completely to the LDAP and is not done through Tiki. Instead, I have confirmed by looking at my LDAP logs that when TW finds a Tiki account, it authenticates the user through Tiki and never connects to the LDAP. This is not the expected behavior, because it means that passwords are being stored on the TW database and actually used for authentication. As a consequence, when a user changes his password on the LDAP, this is not "seen" by TW.

I'm pretty sure this is not the intended behavior also because if I go to Admin Users, both the "edit user" and the "add user" boxes show the following:

"No password is required
Tikiwiki is configured to delegate the password managment to LDAP through PEAR Auth."

And actually, the "edit user" box also says "Warning: changing the username will require the user to change his password" which is a contradiction since the password should be managed by LDAP and my TW is configured to disallow users from being able to change their passwords.

LDAPv2 is obsolete, and the use of LDAPv3 is now standard practice. In fact, the [http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/822.html|latest releases of OpenLDAP don't even support LDAPv2 properly anymore]. However, PHP's ldap_connect() and PEAR::Auth [http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200204/msg00046.html|default to LDAPv2].

The patch to use LDAPv3 is attached. It shouldn't be difficult to make the LDAP protocol version a configurable preference.

3.0 and 3.1

When the number of messages in the mailbox exceeds the number set to display (regardless of the number set to display) no pagination tool appears so it is impossible to see the rest of the messages.

This is for read or unread messages.

It's happening on my live site, and it is also found in a fresh 3.0 installation under MAMP on my local machine.

It's a show-stopper!

__UPDATE: a clue__

So in Look n Feel=> General Layout

I turned off "Hide pagination when there is only one page"

and went back to the mailbox. Now it's showing

"page 1/1"

So it's not showing pagination tools to see more messages because it has concluded it is already showing them ALL.

So something can't count or can't subtract or has the wrong rule.

Read from bottom up:

2008-05-27 00:46:33 Norrin_Rrr mmh
2008-05-27 00:45:57 prozaq you could probably modify that
2008-05-27 00:45:39 prozaq that displays all categories
2008-05-27 00:45:32 prozaq Norrin_Rrr: in 1.10 there is a module called "categories"
2008-05-27 00:41:25 Norrin_Rrr will try it
2008-05-27 00:41:16 Norrin_Rrr the example in the documentation says its for features not sections that s weird
2008-05-27 00:40:51 prozaq oh - yes I think so, but Ive never tried it
2008-05-27 00:40:34 prozaq beg your pardon?
2008-05-27 00:39:45 Norrin_Rrr the section parameter in the menu its to set wich section (wiki/cms/forums) will display the menu ?
2008-05-27 00:38:54 Norrin_Rrr that should be doable
2008-05-27 00:38:19 prozaq so you should be able to copy some of the code from the tiki-browse_categories pages
2008-05-27 00:34:38 Norrin_Rrr yes
2008-05-27 00:34:16 prozaq but isnät that when you are creating a module from scratch?
2008-05-27 00:34:07 Norrin_Rrr i am not sure but there seems a possibility for hacking ?
2008-05-27 00:33:44 Norrin_Rrr "So if you know about Smarty template editing you can use any Smarty tag in your user modules."
2008-05-27 00:33:05 Norrin_Rrr ah okay i am at the module documentation, and its seems there are some conditionals with TW1.10 for modules but unfortunatly none for specific category
2008-05-27 00:32:56 *** franck has left #tikiwikin
2008-05-27 00:29:43 *** kiilo_ has quit IRCn
2008-05-27 00:28:34 Suprano even more if you paste in in a formular :D
2008-05-27 00:28:15 Suprano hmmm copying 4mb text slows down the pc
2008-05-27 00:28:10 Norrin_Rrr and display a menu that gather the various item of this category
2008-05-27 00:27:59 prozaq marclaporte: earlier I posted a bug to the tracker item Bugs & Wish list on dev.tikiwiki.org but how do I post to the "All Bugs" section or the "Release 110 taged bugs" ? section
2008-05-27 00:27:38 Norrin_Rrr yes
2008-05-27 00:27:30 marclaporte the goal would be to show a certain module only if current item (page, etc) is in category X ?
2008-05-27 00:26:07 prozaq eek...
2008-05-27 00:25:45 Norrin_Rrr its seems it works for feature enabled on the site but not for category (?)
2008-05-27 00:25:16 Norrin_Rrr yep i have the doc about the menu under my nose but i don't understand the section parameter
2008-05-27 00:24:39 marclaporte hi prozaq
2008-05-27 00:24:24 prozaq marclaporte: hi
2008-05-27 00:24:19 prozaq but Iäm not sure a specific category would fall under that
2008-05-27 00:23:57 prozaq it seems that you can tell a module which "section" it should appear in
2008-05-27 00:22:37 Norrin_Rrr for now 1.9.9 but 1.10 soon i hope :)
2008-05-27 00:21:20 *** marclaporte has joined #tikiwikin

2008-05-27 00:18:38 Norrin_Rrr i am not sure, a module with a menu would be nice
2008-05-27 00:18:08 prozaq a menu item or a module with menus?
2008-05-27 00:17:29 Norrin_Rrr and hello everybody ;)
2008-05-27 00:16:39 Norrin_Rrr Is it possible to show a menu only when a user reach an item belonging to a given category ?
2008-05-27 00:15:24 *** Norrin_Rrr has joined #tikiwikin







Sylvie has recently added some useful code in BRANCH-1-10 so we can use categories as conditions in templates (.tpl)

[http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Hello+World#To_do_something_specific_in_a_template_ex_tiki_tpl_conditional_to_the_current_item_being_in_a_category_Ex_different_header_picture_|related info in Hello World]

While digging through some html I found the following:

{CODE()}<div class="rbox-data"">{CODE}

the line in remarksbox.tpl is:

{CODE()}<div class="rbox-data{$remarksbox_highlight}"{if !empty($remarksbox_width)} style="width:{$remarksbox_width}{/if}">{CODE}

When the second if statement evaluates to false an extra double-quote is still output.

Missing (12.x) or wrong (13.x) feedback to comment poster when Comments Moderation is on and post is not shown

However, in the show.t.o instance for 12.x, I couldn't get the same behavior I saw a few weeks in a 12.x in localhost.

Current issues reproduced in the show.t.o 12.x instance:
Adding a comment as anon to the homepage (with comments moderation enabled):
http://xavi-9794-5310.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php

{CODE()}
Notice: Array to string conversion in /var/www/xavi-9794-5310/vendor/bombayworks/zendframework1/library/Zend/Filter/Alnum.php on line 144
{CODE}

{CODE()}
Your comment was posted.

No object information provided.
{CODE}

In 13.x I saw the same output (without the initial array notice):
{CODE()}
Your comment was posted.

No object information provided.
{CODE}

This seems to be an error message:
{QUOTE()}
__No object information provided__
{QUOTE}

And "Your comment was posted." is a missleading information, since the comment is not visible yet (until moderation happens). So a better message could be shown in this case, something like:

"__Your comment was posted but is pending moderation, and until approval, it will not be shown__"

When viewing the page again, it says:
"There are no comments at this time."

when you would expect to see something like:

"__There are some comments hidden pending moderation__"
---
^ __And last, as registered users, there is no feedback of what happens in that tiki site that their comments are gone after clicking at "post".__ ^

Contrary to TikiWiki documentation (and contrary to TikiWiki common sense) it is NOT possible in a 3.0 wiki (specifically http://jiamcatt.ourwiki.net) to assign any permissions to Newsletters. This means that NO ONE, other than Admins can even see the list of Newsletters, to say nothing of viewing past newsletters (the archives). This is unacceptable – and contrary to TikiWiki documentation.

JIAMCATT is the community of IT-oriented managers of language (translation and interpretation) services of major International organizations and European multilateral bodies. After a slow start about a year ago this community has now agreed to try to use a TikiWiki-based system. Within the past month (since several of the TikiWiki team participated in the JIAMCATT annual meeting in Ottawa, Canada early May 2009) close to 200 users have joined up.
One key aspect of the work of JIAMCATT are Working Groups. One of these has just started work. It’s tools include wiki pages in the two working languages (En + Fr), a discussion forum (consisting already of 13 topics), and – last but NOT least – a Newsletter to keep everyone abreast of developments. This feature, it now turns out doesn’t work in a very bad way: NO ONE, other than Admins can even see the list of Newsletters, to say nothing of viewing past newsletters (the archives). This is unacceptable – and contrary to TikiWiki documentation.

I expect this should be a simple fix for a TikiWiki insider (the feature existed at the time the documentation was written); albeit impossible for someone not intimate with the insides of this system.

Screen shots are attached. The first – now shows as the last – called “ButtonsAvail-inJiamcatt-ourwiki-net-Newsletter-admin.gif” shows the buttons seen by an Admin user when trying to do “Admin Newsletters”. The second, called “MissingButton-from-doc-tikiwiki-org.gif” shows the buttons in doc.tikiwiki.org in the http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Newsletters section in the http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Newsletter+Admin&bl=y page, under the segment titled “Changing Existing Newsletters”. The third screen shows you what a non-Admin user who should have access to view newsletters and archives of this Working Group, sees (file: “Empty list of newsletters for (nonAdmin) WG members.gif”).

Unless someone can provide a fix quickly, this group will abandon TikiWiki as its working tool.

templates/modules/mod-events.tpl uses mktime and under php5 it needs to have all arguments as integers.
Simple patch:

For the Google Adsense Module:

Google Adsense Client IDs are in the format pub-0123456789012345
Line 42 of mod-func-adsense.php sets this data input type to 'alpha'.
When the user tries to assign the module, the numbers get stripped from the client ID, which is a required field.

I changed 'alpha' to 'striptags' to allow an alpha-numeric entry and then Adsense output works correctly.

I have set feature_comment_moderation=y, so new comments are invisible until approval, but they are shown as new comments on the since_last_visit_new module. So if user clicks on this link they come to the page where the comment was made (currently only tested with blog comment, but should be the same with other comments), and don't see this new comment.
I've no idea if this also affects coming version 4, only working with v3.2

Tiki 1.9.8 ships with 94 modules. (excellent)


Need a "module manager"

Module should come with a screenshot or preview.

A page listing all modules with descriptions and parameters- grouped by feature.


currently, the "user modules" and "assigned modules" titles are very non-intuitive. Should say "custom modules" and "active modules"




However, all modules are listed at all times. Module listing should check for features which are activated. It would be easier on new Tiki admins. For example, if articles are deactivated, don't show me last_articles in tiki-admin_modules.php



Admin modules does not display titles of available modules or provide easy method for selecting unused modules, such as with a listbox. The missing information is not available unless a Tiki admin has system admin permissions.



Also, all possible parameters for the current module should be listed (or picked from a drop-down)
See:
[http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Module]

When viewing a specific blog post (tiki-view_blog_post.php), users should be able to go to the NEXT / PREVIOUS post in the blog.

When creating a newsletter item, both HTML and plain text versions are requested. The plain text information is empty if the newsletter is edited.

Sometimes, it is useful to attach files to a newsletter.

Alternatively, it could be a newsletter with a link to a file (a unique, very long URL, which provides access to the file without entering a password)

Once a language has been selected for a page there is no way to set it back to its original state with no language associated with it. This is not that big an issue, but once you select a language you are stuck with the multilingual menu item at the top of the page, even if there are no other translations available.

I think it is preferable to have a link on the top of the page only if there is an available translation for the page. Regardless, it is bad practice to allow a user to change something with no way of returning that something to its original state

The "Tentative" status for a calendar event always reverts to "Confirmed" after it is saved.
