The online translation on i18n.tiki.org is not working.
I want to test on show.tiki.org first and later come back with detailed report.

//Update://
On show.tiki.org the online translation works smoothly! No problems.

So I guess, we have either a configuration problem or a server problem - I will refer aswell to the infrastructure team. //done//

...

The user "gour" did report about an adress error (redirect or .htaccess) in the dev-list and I faced frequently the last days, that the tick-box of the translation is not working, the translation dialogue on i18 is different than ist should be (just compare with show.tiki.org), the translation does not save - is that Ajax or JS? <-> loading for ages, but not finishing - not any result, just endlessly loading.

I use GNU/Linux Ubuntu 14.04
Firefox: tickbox of interactive translation get's not staying ticked, translations are editable on both sides (original and new)
Chromium (Chrome): activating interactive translation seems to work on the first view, but ticking the box or deactivating the interactive translation via quickadmin causes WSOD
~np~(http://i18n.tiki.org/tiki-interactive_trans.php?interactive_translation_mode=on and
http://i18n.tiki.org/tiki-interactive_trans.php?interactive_translation_mode=off)~/np~

As said: no problem on show.tiki.org!

...

I've just installed TW and am focused on the wiki functions at this point. Wiki pages display correctly in Firefox 3.5.2 but as a thin right hand column on IE 7 or 8. The columns get a bit wider once you login to the wiki in IE but not by much. Admin functions are squished in IE but look fine in Firefox as well.

I can't seem to find this in any FAQs or other support links and would appreciate some help.

The following message occurs if you ask for a spell check without even knowing you need to load the Dictionary file.
Which most new users would NOT know.... Certainly I didn't know...

Can I suggest that the error message be more descriptive and contain a link to SourceForge to down load the dictionary.
Perhaps the error message could be "You are missing the dictionary - please down load from ......" <grin>

Would it be possible to have this downloaded and installed from the MODS in Tiki????

Thank you!

Hello,
Installed tikiwiki 1.9 on a CentOS 4.4.
Assigned autenthication to external LDAP server ( Windows AD ) , but the problem
remains even with IMAP.
Login with admin works
Login with external users presents again the login screen ( no "bad password" just the login screen again and again )

I debugged the code and found the both IMAP and LDAP modeles correctly check the user
and at the end of tiki-login.php the "tiki-user-tikiwiki" Cookie is set with the IMAP/LDAP username, but then at start of "tiki-index.php" the $user variable is empty.
A further check states that session_id() at the end of tiki-login.php is different from session_id() at start of tiki-index.php ( and this explains why the value of variables are different ).
10 correct authentication produce 10 different PHPSESS file with correct username but tiki-index.php always load the first one ( without username set ).

This has been reproduced with php-4.3.9-3.22 on a Centos 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4

https://doc.tiki.org/WordPress-importer

Nothing happens when I load the file. I don't know if it just hangs or never starts at all. I do see the percentage countdown in my web browser, it does get to 100% but then nothing happens and no posts are loading into blogs, articles or wikis. Possibly the problem is the WordPress xml file. The only time WordPress has been trouble free (importing) was when it was from WordPress to another WordPress site. Including the OPML (links) file.

Would it be easier to import from Joomla? I tried them for a couple of months and did import most of my WordPress site there. (Images did not make it).

There must be a few others moving from other CMS type software to Tiki. Please help.

Right now PluginJQ documentation ( https://doc.tiki.org/PluginJq ) is very helpful, and I made a profile in 12.x to manage the conditional display of some fields in forms.
http://profiles.tiki.org/Conditional_Display_in_Forms

But in 14.x the required syntax seems to be different, and I don't get it right:

See it reproduced in here:

u: admin
p: 12345

When selecting Case A or Case B in the radio button, all fields are shown, but no bg color for all the shown fields below the radio button.

When selecting Case A in the radio button, still some labels from fields for Case B are shown (text area)

improve doc for devs about the right way to develop permission checks (global, category and local)

I wish there was a place (ideally) were permission checking in tiki was explained for dev dummies: global, categ and local object perm checking.
That documentation at dev.t.o should be linked, at least from:
* https://dev.tiki.org/Permission
* https://dev.tiki.org/Permission+inheritance
* https://dev.tiki.org/Hello+world#To_check_a_permission

This bug is tied to [http://example.com|http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=1964&trackerId=5&show=view]

I have had various issues navigating my wiki seemingly because $base_url is not getting built correctly, or at all. The first of these issues happens at login where the user puts in a bad username or password. The redirect to the error page fails on Firefox and has a URL with doubled forward slashes after the domain because the $base_url is not getting passed. URLs get built as follows (where 'example.com' is my domain):

Firefox:
{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()} http://example.com\/tiki-error.php?error=Invalid+username {CODE}

IE:
{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()} http://example.com//tiki-error.php?error=Invalid+username {CODE}

This happens with relative URLs all over tikiwiki in my installation, which is a WAMP with virtualHost entries in the httpd.conf to resolve 2 distict domains on the same server.

our viki installed on linux platform with apache 2.0.58 , mysql 5.0.41, and php 5.2.3.

we has a tracker with 740 items. recently i found, it goes slowly (more than 2 minutes) if i insert or update an item into this tracker. I can't figure out the reason. could someone please give me some advice?

Machine translation ( http://doc.tiki.org/Machine+Translation ) seems to be broken in Tiki 6 LTS, at least.
No content is translated from the page.

The same site (before upgrading months ago to tiki6) had that feature working.

Is this feature working for anyone on any stable (non deprecated) tiki version?

Update:
I've just checked on localhost with 8.x (r38429), and the feature still exists in admin panels. When enabled, and attempted to request to have a wiki page google-translated, a blank page is shown :-/

===My Setup===
I have file galleries set up with categories, so each category grants permission for a specific group to view and edit file galleries which are categorized to that group. E.g., I have a "group 1" category which grants the group "group 1" permission to access the "group 1" file gallery.

I have a "group administrator" group which has the "tiki_p_remove_files" permission granted in each category. This gives me one group which I can add to a user to give them permission to remove files from whichever file gallery they have permission to view.

Technically, the group admins have permission to remove files from all sections, every category grants them this permission, but because they cannot see the other sections, this is not an issue.

===My Problem===
Even having the "tiki_p_remove_files" permission, group admins are unable to remove files which they did not upload.

I have "tiki_p_remove_files" set for the "group administrator" group in global permissions but the issue still remains.

To do some testing, I granted registered (thus all groups) "tiki_p_remove_files" in the global permissions, and in the category permissions, but section admins (and normal users) were still only able to delete their own uploaded files.

I have a sym link set to my old tiki version, so I can access it via tiki-url/old. I used to this to determine that this is an existing bug, and not a regression. When adding the "/old" to my url, and going back to Tiki6, group admins were still unable to remove these files. The perms are stored in the db, so this would be a valid way to determine this correct?

This makes me think that the bug has been around for a while, as it was present in Tiki6 as well.

I cleared the tiki cache before each testing of permissions, and also cleared my browser cache (just to be sure) multiple times while testing this as well.

It makes it difficult to assign a single user to be a file gallery manager if I cannot give that user the ability to delete other user's files.

after new tracker item is added there should be any variable like itemId or lastItemId that can be used after adding, like:

{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{TRACKER(trackerId="8",fields="51:52:53:79",showdesc="n",showmandatory="n",showstatus="n",embedded="n",reset="Reset",newstatus="o")}
Action Point was added with itemId = {{lastItemId}}
{BUTTON(href="tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId={{lastItemId}}",_text="Details")}
{BUTTON(href="tiki-index.php?page=Add+Action+Point",_text="Add_Next")}
{TRACKER}{CODE}

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
We just updated our tikiwiki from 6.2 to 8.3 and came across a difficulty when viewing the rss-seed of tracker items. We cloned the database and have not changed anything about permissions, but it seems that only people from a certain group (and admin) can view the rss seed of the tracker while logged in, while others can't. This wasn't previously the case.

We kept the old wiki (6.2) and the tracker rss seed works. See for the example:
http://www.svi.nl/tikiold/tiki-tracker_rss.php?trackerId=5

The rss tracker in the new wiki doesn't. See:
http://www.svi.nl/tiki-tracker_rss.php?trackerId=5

Both have a different database, but they are identical. Also all the permissions concerning trackers are identical.

Is this a bug or has the functionality of the tracker changed? Tried to search in the tikiwiki and bug-reports but couldn't find anything.

EDIT: Apparently this wasn't working in 6.2 either but we created a workaround for it, which also seem to work for 8.3 (see below).

Uploading a file larger then around 30Mb results in an endless view of "Uploading file..." while the upload was actually finished. Found a previous ticket about this problem explaining that an invisible error is shown. It is assumed that this error has something to do with settings of upload_max_filesize or other settings in php.ini. See ticketID 4107.

However, this is clearly not the problem here. Especially since our old wiki (6.2) (which uses the same configuration and php) has no problems uploading files. So this sounds more like a bug in tikiwiki 8.3, then an wrong setting in the configuration files. I also checked all of our .htaccess files, which do not overrule the settings of php.ini.

Because the uploads do work in 6.2, but it doesn't in 8.3, I fear it is a bug in the new tikiwiki.

If there are more places that I could check that may cause the problem, please let me know. The upload feature on our wiki is quite important, so I would like to find a solution as soon as possible.

Thanks!

Edit: It seems that when I upload a small file, which gives no problems, and then replace this file with an other file of 50Mb, then there is no problem.

Edit2: It seems that the upload is also dependent on the memory_limit value, but this should not be the case. At least, it wasn't before. When the memory_limit is increased larger files can be uploaded. We had set our memory_limit to 64Mb, which allowed an upload of files around the 30 Mb (probably 32?), so there may be a factor two involved.

This is already possible via ((doc:PluginTag)) but dedicated plugins could be cleaner/simpler in certain cases

I am referencing forum post: https://tiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=43682&topics_offset=1

I would like the ability for users in child domains to access the TikiWiki site the same way users in the parent site are able to access it. According to the forum post, "Tiki is not currently capable of authenticating against multiple domains (or multiple LDAP servers)" and "The code could be modified to search, say, the global catalog for the user's DN and then authenticate against the corresponding domain, but this would be custom coding"

I would like an option to specify multiple domains, or a custom code I could use to search the global catalog for the user's DN.

Basically I want all of my users in all of my offices to access the Tiki site. Not just the home office users.

Uploading a file larger than ~8 Mb leads to the following message: An error occurred while performing the request. With suggested comments: 1. Did you complete the Tiki Installer? 2. Is your database corrupt? Please see how to repair your database 3. Are your database credentials accurate? (username, database name, etc in db/local.php).

With smaller files there is not problem. I tried at two different time, but after 40~45 sec. the error occurs.

My Tikiwiki installation seems to limit file size around 128 MB.

In the file php.ini I set both max_execution_time and max_input_time to 60.

Since nowadays 8Mb for files is common, this bug is really limiting the functionality of file gallery.

It is not possible to write a comment for a Tracker entry. If you click the "comment" button, there is no editor or anything.

[https://dl.dropbox.com/u/13543865/comment-error-tracker.jpg|Picture of missing editor]

All permissions for tracker comments are granted. No admin and no other user can comment on a Tracker entry. The comment feature is activated and it is possible to comment on wiki-pages.

Some plugins were not loading in the Plugin Help tab.

I have a problem with search in tiki.I wish i can search blog,article,forum... belong to author or creator.I'm researching Zend_Search_Lucene.If you have a solution of this problem.Please help me!!!thankful for all.

When creating a list of pages for a new structure with the Tree list. The Tiki stalls out and does not create the pages but dies randomly half way or three quarters of the way through the list. I then created a VM environment to test against that same version 9.1LTS and same symptom.
The problem is not there under 6.3LTS. I can create the structure just fine. Then export the structure and import it into 9.1LTS. Not exactly the workaround I want.

I want to use the zotero plugin.
Referencing citations with the {zotero key=XXX} style works, while with the {zotero tag=XXXX} only works for short tags (e.g. does not work for tags with 15 chars).

To use this feature I created for each entry in Zotero a unique tag with authorYearTitle(1st word).

Is there a limit?

It would be good to make the 'User' (i.e. user name) a required field when adding a new Tiki User (Admin Users)

Recently, I tested adding a new user without this (left blank), but added the password (2x) and an email. Tiki went the the next step, 'Confirm adding new user', then went to the full user list. Of course it was not visible anywhere in the full list of users (only one page, under 10 users total).

Also, it might make sense to change the name from 'user' to 'user name', or even more direct 'login'.

Mike

__Hey there Tikiwiki dev team !__

I've been looking all over for info about this, but even on the irc channel, no one seems to know what to do about my issue : I'm pretty new to all this, and I enabled spreadsheets in my tikiwiki platform. I can list spreadsheets, create new ones, edit them.

I chose a jquery theme that allows a pretty good display in spreadsheet (I can see multiple selections, all menus are displayed correctly). Only trouble is : none of the menus in the three drop-down menus in the upper-left corner (edit/view/style) seem to operate.

''__Other contextual menus__'' (when right-clicking on the sheet, or in the column labels) ''__work fine__'', but when I click any of the three above-mentionned buttons (edit/view/style), even though the submenus are displayed, ''it doesn't seem like I'm acutally clicking anything'' : nothing happens, and it doesn't "feel" like my clicking is even registered.

I have tried on my current platform which runs on Ubuntu in a Virtual Machine, I've also tried on the online 15.0 demo platform you provide on your website, and another person from your IRC has also tried and we all get the same result.

So I thought maybe you guys could help ?

thank you very much in advance,

Have a wonderfuk day,

Kind regards,

Nicolas AINETO.

I upgraded from 1.85 to 1.9.0 without any problems. Things were working fine. Today, however, I logged in to access the admin area, and no admin links from the menu! All gone! What do I need to do to fix this? How can I access the admin area without links?
