Hello,

!The basic problem
The function that are called from external should be declared "public static";
Why : because they are used in http request and href definition.

!Consequences
Often the navigator hangs on the babelfish request http://... babelfish
It can be necessary to restart the computer.


!Solution

public static function host

public static function url

I'd like to see some sort of an "autosave". That way when you're engaged in editing a really lengthy page, it will save itself periodically. For those of us that have flaky internet connections, this would be a huge boon. My edits wouldn't necessarily be lost if my internet connection goes pouf for a few minutes.

1- Go to ((Keywords))
2- Check Backlinks

You will see a backlink to __Why Use 2.0 for devtwo__ but this page no longer exists. It was renamed or deleted or something :-)

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
You can see:
* http://profiles.tikiwiki.org/Admin#List_pages
* ((doc:backlinks))

In a tracker item, we often refer to wiki pages. From those wiki pages, we should be able to see the trackers in the backlinks.

Related:
Tracker plugin to get title and make link to tracker item
http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=1768

With this second thing done, we could have backlinks among tracker items.


This will be useful for a ((Mindmap))

Any text generated by a plugin is having it's backslashes doubled. Looks like "addcslashes" is being called somewhere it shouldn't. Eg: Put a single slash into a CODE plugin block, and examine the output.

I have a 3.3 Tiki Application with a File Gallery configured to store files in the MySQL database. It IS possible to upload zip files and unzip them during the upload. Very useful!

I'm testing a 4.0 instance of the same application, and now the "batch upload" feature does not upload and unzip *.zip files.

I noticed the following comment in the Tiki docs....

~~#f00:"Note that you can use the Batch uploads only when you don't use the database to store the content of the files!"~~

Was some functionality taken away?! I sure miss it.

If I change to storing files in a directory (instead of the DB),
will that also mean the loss of full-text search capabilities?

We already have:
* ((doc:PluginTrackerStat))
* ((doc:Computed Tracker Field))

But we would need something additional for the following use case:

We have a tracker with a list of tasks. Each task has typical values:
*Open/Pending/Closed (tracker status field)
*Name (text)
*Description (text area)
*Assigned to (user)
*Assigned by (user)
*Priority (drop-down of 1 to 5)
*Creation date (system generated field)
*Last modification date

This is very similar to:
http://profiles.tikiwiki.org/Simple+Bug+Tracker

((doc:PluginTrackerStat)) could provide some stats on how many tasks are in each priority.


Now, imagine each task has 3 additional values:
*Original estimate (do not change the value of this field)
*Hours spent so far
*Time remaining estimate.

((doc:Computed Tracker Field)) could calculate 2 additional values.

* ''Current estimate'' would calculated by ''Time remaining estimate'' plus ''Hours spent so far''
* ''How on-target are we?'' would calculated by ''Current estimate'' divided by ''Original estimate'' times ''100''

So far, so good!

However, we would like to know:
*The total number of all hours of work remaining.
*The overall ''How on-target are we?''

((doc:PluginTrackerList)) coudl be extented to have a report of the total number of hours, with certain filters.

Then, Tiki could be used to manage a Tiki Sheet:
http://profiles.tikiwiki.org/Time+Sheet

In the future, we could generate ((doc:Graphics and Charts)) from this data, like we do in the ((doc:spreadsheet))

Please see: ((tw:CMS Landscape)) and ((tw:Wiki landscape)) and try to edit those pages without getting lost.

Now you understand what we need :-)

Also: https://doc.tiki.org/Unified+Index

This looks cool:
http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Plugins/EditTablePlugin

TikiWiki.org gets a lots of referral links from other sites that have the "Powered by TikiWiki" footer enabled. It would be great if we could take advantage of this.

I propose that the referring site's URL should be appended to the link, so that we could create (if desired) custom landing pages for incoming links from high-traffic sites (such as the FireFox support site). I envision the incoming list to be something like:

http://www.tikiwiki.org/powered+support.mozilla.org

Then on the wiki page "powered+support.mozilla.org" we could "sell" Tiki, explain why it was chosen to power that particular site, specific features, etc. In the .htaccess we could have a fallback page (simply "powered" to collect all other referrals that do not have a custom page.

It would be useful to extract all permissions of File Galleries or Wiki pages or Forums, etc

This would provide a way for admins to know who actually has access to what.

Every now and then dev.tw.o becomes unaccessible. The site gets slower and slower and eventually it stops working. The problem is with the database. Line 767 in lib/trackers/trackerlib.php

$query_cant = 'SELECT count(DISTINCT ttif.`itemId`) FROM '.$base_tables.$sort_tables.$cat_table.$mid;

Under some circumstances this query never returns from the database, runs forever and blocks the complete dev.tw.o database, making the site unresponsive.

Setting feature_tell_a_friend=n doesn't affect the "Email This Post" functionality for the blog, so visitors is always offered to mail the link for a post. Imho the admin should be able to choose if this is allowed or not.

If a user edits a blog post (ex.: to correct a typo), it becomes the post author and after, the original author can no longer edit it.


author should not change, or even better, let the admin pick the user from a drop-down list.

If there is a comma in the URL (testet in the Wiki-Module), the link isn't complete clickable.

Only the part before the comma is linked. Everything after the comma in the URL is shown as normal text in the TikiWiki.

I know, commas should not be part of an URL, but there are many webages out there, how have this.

This bug is testet on TikiWiki 2.2 and 3.0

Here an example of a broken link:
http://this-is-a-testlink.com/foo,bar

[http://this-is-a-testlink.com/foo,bar|this is my link with comma]

But when you use "external Link Icon" with ~091~ Link~124~ Descripton ~093~ That will work.

TheDayAfter

On our site we use the short URLs enabled by the SEO feature. We have used the default TikiWiki .htaccess file.

One of our blogs has grown to a reasonable size and users of it were claiming that the link at the bottom of the page to the next set of entries wasn't working. I confirmed this to be the case.

Looking at the source loaded into my browser for the page on clicking the "next page" button the following link should have been called :
{CODE()}/blog1?offset=20{CODE}
Manually entering this link did not work either. However if I entered the full URL below I did get the blog posts I was hoping for:
{CODE()}tiki-view_blog.php?blogId=1&offset=20{CODE}

I therefore suspected that the ReWrite rule was not correct. The standard rule is:
{CODE()}RewriteRule ^blog([0-9]+) tiki-view_blog.php?blogId=$1 [QSA,L]{CODE}

This standard rule chops off the end of the requested URL after the blog number, thereby removing the __~amp~offset=20__ parameter.

When you click on the browse button/link in the file gallery, a new window opens and that is it, it displays the same as the normal page. No preview, images or what ever

I have installed TikiWiki 3rc1 on an IIS (Windows Server 2003) installation with PHP 5 and MySQL. This is a root-level installation. For some reason having to change PATH_TRANSLATED to SCRIPT_FILENAME in line 31 of lib/setup/tikisetup.class.php, which if I don't do I get errors relating to directories not existing and the site not loading at all; this is not the purpose of the support request.

Once I make these tweaks, as well as after setting the tweaks identified in tiki-filter-base.php (that is, changing forward slashes to double-backslashes in quotes), I get the site up and running. ***But*** on administration pages, the buttons created by lib/smarty_tiki/function.button.php (such as "CLEAR CACHE" on the Modules admin page) don't seem to work when accessing the site from Safari or Firefox (Internet Explorer works fine for this).

Instead, in Safari, the clicking on the button will load the script name where the domain name is supposed to go; if my site was on http://site.com/somescript.php?something, it would load http://otherscript.php?something. I don't have my machine handy, so I can't get the Firefox results up at the moment, but IIRC they involved the format http://site.com/\/otherscript.php?something (with a backslash and forward-slash inserted).

A Linux installation of TW3 works fine in Safari and Firefox, so my guess is that it's an IIS issue that has something to do with backslashes and root-directory determination, but I'm somewhat clueless here. I've examined lib/smarty_tiki/block.self_link.php and some tweaking there has produced no viable results.

Also note that this goes away when TikiWiki 3 is placed into a non-root directory; it only affects a root installation at /, rather than at a server subdirectory.

Bug:
*New all-day events are not created.

To reproduce:
*Create an event, select a start-day in the future, select "All-Day", and then save it.

Reason:
*The event doesn't get created because the end-day is before the start-time.

Problem:
*This is confusing for the user.
*No error message or warning is generated.

There is currently no sanity check
