Category: 1.9.x

Steps to reproduce:

1. Goto http://tikiwiki.org/TikiFeatures and click on an upcoming event.

2. click on the calendar tab. choose monthly view.

3. now navigate backwards or forwards with the "Week" navigation buttons.

3. If the currently selected cell is prior to today's date the dates display correctly. If the currently selected cell is after today the entire month view displays incorrect dates.

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.

{syntax type=tiki}
{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
This is the ((Tracking system for Tiki issues)).
If this is your first time, please read: ((How to Submit a new item on the Wishlist))

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 }

Minor annoyances:
-Manually entered times in "add item" do not always show up in the calendar as entered (often an hour off). Simply editing the item and re-entering the time fixes this.

-I ran across a limit on the number of calendar items. I had entered a large list of events and later ones disappeared from tha calendar -even in whole year view. I deleted old events and they came back. maybe this is isolated.

-If I mistakenly created a calendar, I could not delete it until it had at least one event entered.

Nice to haves:
-Some way of differentiating calendar entires from different calendars when they are combined. Ex:one calendar shows events people can go to volunteer to actually do something , one shows speaking engagements people can go and listen to. I now simply use HTML bold tags in the description of one of the calendars. This works but maybe some other way? Colors, different font perhaps?

-Ability to easily add link for a Google Map. Perhaps fields to enter address info and then auto generate a map link. Google Maps has this and can be put into a Tiki page but Google Maps lacks important features, like a list view and multiple calendars, that Tiki Calendar has.

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.

I can't see the reason for the separation between the structures feature and the menu feature - structures are massively easier to create and edit, but only menus can be shown collapsibly. Separation of functions leads to confusion and harder support.

I've accepted a friendship request, using 1.9cvs code from a couple of days, and I saw those two lines at the top of the page,

^Notice: Undefined variable: local_sender_email in /home/httpd/tiki19/lib/messu/messulib.php on line 90

Notice: Undefined variable: local_sender_email in /home/httpd/tiki19/lib/messu/messulib.php on line 91
^

plus the normal output below:
^
Accepted friendship request from userXXX^

tiki-friends.php?accept=userXXX

BTW, "friendship network" is missing from categories Feature in this website dev.tw.o! (so that, nowadays, it cannot be selected at bug report time)

i get:{img src=http://doc.tikiwiki.org/img/wiki_up/tiki_installer.gif width= height= align= desc= link=http://doc.tikiwiki.org/img/wiki_up/tiki_installer.gif }

then it asks me to enter username and pass and db name of MySQL
i enter username and pass and db
and it shows me the same but with bonus message:

what its source?

HELP!

Actions in tracker fields don't post variables
though they post parameters
I used the example
Register,post,tiki-register.php,name:login,pass:pass,passAgain:pass,email:email,register=register
from tikiorg but doesn't pass any new user
If I use the syntax Register,post,tiki-register.php,name=login,pass=pass,passAgain=pass,email=email,register=register
it works but it doesn't register variables but words (login, pass etc.)

I'd like to see the UI on the Admin Calendar page get more consistent with the Admin Groups page.
Current behavior: Select Admin Calendars from menu. List of Calendars and "Create/Edit Calendars Label comes up in Entry Area. After entering and saving a new calendar, the last information stays in the text entry boxes. The user must click on Admin Calendars and re-load the page to clear the boxes for the next entry.

Desired Behavior: Select Admin Calendars from menu. List of Calendars and a form with "Add a Calendar" are opened. Buttons for "Edit Calendar" and "Create Calendar" are located below the Admin Calendar heading and load the appropriate forms.
Thanks for considering this request. dthacker.

When setting preferences in each of the modules that Tiki supports, it would be of HUGE benefit and assistance to be able to click on a HELP ICON and get comments on what the setting or preference means and whether this should be used by you.

Ex.:
tiki-adminusers.php?group=Editors


It will make it easier to manage groups.

Forums are getting powerful enough to substitute mailing lists on many tiki sites (yahhogroups, etc.). However, notification messages from forums cannot be added easily to local email filters since the subject doesn't contain a label like [[Forum X - site Y] to ease this task.
{CODE()}
[Forum X - site Y]
{CODE}

I guess this must be very easy for a coder (just adding some variable to a smarty template? and adding a call to that variable if needed from the related .php or .tpl file - I just get the rough idea... I wish I could do that myself...)

Admin -> General -> Navigation

I've been thinking for ages that this kind of option is REALLY needed, and I thought it should not be much coding effort:

Automonitoring each own's posts, through either:
# Add a select box to monitor each own's forum post or tracker submission at post time, in a "per forum post or tracker item insertion" basis, or
# with a user preference for all forums, or all trackers, blogs, etc..

Still needed...

When allowing anonymous users to suggest a new FAQ question, need to include a CAPTCHA to eliminate spam.

While adding field Group as a group selector got following error (Tried again for a text field & same error):

Warning: mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Group TEXT' at line 1 in query:

Then when list tracker items:

Then when edit item:

Checking DB: Group column was not created in table.

This is from a test site http://tiki.vamason.org while trying to recreate trackers as mirrors from http://cms.vamason.org. I installed lastbranch1.9 on 8/3 and copied the DB & ran 1.8-1.9 upgrade. Deleted old trackers, changed Tracker feature to use mirror tables. Emptied tracker tables using SQLyog before starting. Loaded data from CVS using SQLyog.

You cant set it that individual polls can be set to viewed by only certain groups.

Right now, all messages from tiki forums of the same tiki site have the same subject. Or all tracker items from different trackers from the same tiki site.
I suggest that notifications from each forum, or tracker, etc., have some label like in e-mail lists [[LABEL], that they look like:
* "[[TRACKERNAME] Current notification subject"
* "[[FORUMNAME] Current notification subject"

Or even better: allow an empty text field to be filled at tracker and forum admin screen where the admin can write the content of the label sent in subjects of notification emails from this feagture/site.

I could be nice to have the "preview" button at tracker item submission time, to preview the parsing of wiki syntax, and to avoid submitting and editting later on for simple wiki syntax errors... (It happened to me, for instance, with bug report:
http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=184&show=view&status=op&trackerId=5&sort_mode=f_41_desc&filterfield=54 )

I am using Tiki for educational scenarios, and frequentñy I (or my students) want to change misspelled words (for instance) on long wiki pages.

Nowadays I'm taking the content out of the wiki-edit form, search and replace on in external program, anb back.
I could be nice to have this feature integrated into the edit page form.

When creating a wiki link ~np~((foo)))~/np~, Tiki uses the target pages's ''description'' as the the link's TITLE attribute. It would be nice for external links to also have a TITLE attribute. Tiki could use the link's description, or a generic text. For example:

~np~[http://foo.com|my link]~/np~ would become:
<a href="http://foo.com" title="External link: my link">.....

and

~np~[http://foo.com]~/np~ would become:
<a href="http://foo.com" title="External link">.....

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.
