Two tracker properties, "Template to display an item" and "Template to edit an item", are currently under "Section Format" of the tracker "Properties" form. This isn't an intuitive location for them IMO. I think they should be under "Display" since they are related to the tracker item interface. They aren't related to tracker item sections as far as I can tell.

Locking a wiki page causes the "Translate" link to not display. As a user (baijianpeng) pointed out, there's no connection between wanting|not wanting original page changes and translations of that page.

Unless I'm missing something, it seems the Translate link should display regardless of whether the page is locked or not.

At first I had the problem with the Login Bug listed here:- http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=LoginBug&highlight=login%20bug

I have tried using all fixes on this page and to no avail.

Since then I have found that any function that uses the 'Click here to confirm action' page and button does not work. Are these interrelated? This happens if I try to delete a user, rollback a page in fact any function that uses that button and page?

Help or fixes would be very much appreciated as I have found tikiwiki excellent to use with my classes but these bugs are leading me to use something different next time!

I tested Trunk on my Ipad (IOS11 Safari).
The login popup for a default install is outside the screen (landscape and portrait).

The ability to login is prevented in IE and FF by a jquery error. It prevents the "log in" button from being clicked after you have entered your account information on the login popup box.

I have not been able to turn this on or off, except by changing browsers.

What I have tried:

Changing Styles - No Effect
Clean Upgrade to 12.1 - No Effect
Enabling & Disabling Countless Options - No Effect
Removing all custom JS from Admin->Look & Feel->Customization - No Effect
Disabled Minify and Optimization Functionality - No Effect
Disabled Cloudflare - No Effect

I have not modified any JS. A clean upgrade confirms this.

I really hope this can be looked at quickly. Users not being able to log in is a serious downer.

See my screenshots for FB Error Reports on the issue.

When using the coelesce theme on v4.1 and using Firefox 3.5.7 on Ubuntu 9.10.

The problem did not occur using Chrome.

I also posted this in the forums..

If I select the option to use facebook as a login feature, and have Social Networks DISABLED, the facebook icon appears under the login popup box and when clicked fails in an error.

I would expect the checkbox under social networks "enable social networks" to disable sub-options, regardless of checked status.

Select Login Auth : Tiki and Pear

Try login with a user who is not in ldap but in tiki own db. Login fails.

When a long description is entered at "edit properties" for a file, and saved, then when you hover over the "i" icon for information, the flyout dialogue is not responsive. It fly's out of the constrained areas.

Look & Feel for http://suite.tiki.org is currently (14.x) worse than expected. It seems as if no one could tweak the look and feel of that domain/perspective/whatever handles the suite.t.o layout/look&feel

Even http://tikisuite.org displays an enormous logo in firefox for me, I don't know why.
Maube it's a known temporary issue, but just in case, I'll drop an item here...

I upgraded my Tiki site to version 15.0, and consequently I was locked out, as my Admin password did not work after the upgrade.

In earlier versions of Tiki, this page would have helped ...
*https://doc.tiki.org/Lost+admin+password

.... but in Tiki version 15.0 there is no user_users table.

So where are the users stored now?
How do I recover my admin password?

Look at this url:

https://tiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=4&comments_parentId=60575&post_reply=1&comments_threshold=0&comments_reply_threadId=60577&comments_offset=0&thread_sort_mode=commentDate_asc&comments_per_page=20&comments_grandParentId=60575&thread_style=commentStyle_threaded#form

It should be truncated or eventually space (to permit having it on several lines) visually.

~~#F00:UPDATE:~~ Now it is ok on Firefox still not working on Chrome and Safari on Mac (may be others too).

/lib/prefs/feature.php contains 11 instances of quote characters that are wrongly escaped. To my understanding of PHP they shouldn't be escaped with a backslash if they are in single quote strings, which they are.

Example:
{CODE(Colors="Tiki")}
'feature_jquery_zoom' => [
'name' => tra('jQuery zoom'),
'description' => tra('Enables zoom in images on mouseover or click. Used in Plugin Img with the parameter \"thumb=zoombox\"'),
'type' => 'flag',
'help' => 'PluginImg#Zoombox',
'default' => 'n',
],
{CODE}

The description string is enclosed in single quotes, yet the double quotes that are part of the string were escaped with backslashes. And the strings are fed into tra().

This leads to the backslashes being visible to the user in English language, and making translating really hard: The only way that tra() will catch these with a content from custom.php is double escaping like this:

{CODE(Colors="Tiki")}
"Enables zoom in images on mouseover or click. Used in Plugin Img with the parameter \\\"thumb=zoombox\\\"" => "Emöglicht, in Bilder hineinzuzoomen bei Mouseover oder Klick. Im Img-Plugin mit dem Parameter \"thumb=zoombox\" verwendet",
{CODE}

I'm not sure if many writers of other translations out there know about this implication...

Not all strings in feature.php have been escaped like this, actually there are 11 instances of \" in there. Some, actually many, strings were written the right way like this example:

{CODE(Colors="Tiki")}
'feature_jquery_reflection' => [
'name' => tra('Reflection'),
'description' => tra('Creates a reflection under an image. Used in Plugin Img with the parameter "class=reflect"'),
'type' => 'flag',
'help' => 'JQuery#Reflection',
'default' => 'n', // reflection effects on images
],
{CODE}

The 11 instances are on lines 1526 (2), 1841 (2), 2084 (2), 2191 (2), 2928 (2). Line 2496 uses \" for something else.

((MemoryConsumption))


Here is a very famous error: "Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted"
http://tikiwiki.org/art82

And they often cause blank pages. How can we can catch them and render a simple & descriptive error page (not enough memory) instead of a blank page?

Search index rebuild fails. I've tracked it down to the file and it fails at php:s function rename. Where the code tries to rename the index-new folders content to the current index. This used to work in version 11. Possible issue with file-permission systems, php is not allowed to access the folders. The file in question is searchlib-unified.php and rows close to 250. rename($index_location, $swapName)) this fails.
I'm not sure if this is a problem on Linux servers.

Settings:
Windows server 2008 R2 Standard
MySQL server 5.6
PHP 5.4.19

Workarounds:
1: Comment out the rename and delete lines from code.
2:
Build a batch file to do your file transfer.
OR
Move the files manually if you don't have to build indexes very often
OR
build indexes with previous versions and move the files
OR
Fix the code by making a recursive loop that moves the files from the folder to another folder.

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.

On the Tiki Webmail (tiki-webmail.php) there is a selector to choose what mailbox folder to display:
__Inbox__
Draft
Queue
Sent
Trash

Seems only Inbox shows something.
Sent and Trash are not working (email sent or trashed are not displayed).

About the others, I’m not sure what should be done;
* Do a user need to see the queue ?
* Tiki Webmail can't create/save draft yet

Hi:

I want to allow users to send photo moblog posts to our Articles section. After setting up an "Article-Put" account, I'm finding that only the text makes it into the article post, not the attached image file. Just to test, I set up a "Wiki-Put" account, and it DOES recognize and include the attachment (not inline, though, but as an icon and a link).

Does the Article-Put feature have handling for including images inline?

Rob

In my installation, I've tested sending tes

The mails sent for updates to wishes are text/html only.
A choice to get them in text/plain would be nice.
I'd prefer "either or", but both as mixed/alternative would be an improvement, too. ;-)

See this topic in the forum:

http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=6&comments_parentId=32076&thread_sort_mode=commentDate_asc&was_queued=n

Short: Missing \r before each \n prevents sending of mail with tikiwiki installation on windows server.

When you are on a page of a wiki structure, you can click on the print icon, but you will only print that single page.

The icon and option to "__print this page and all the subpages__" (= in the the sub-structure) right from there (without going through all the clicks at "Wiki > multiprint > select structure > print") would be very welcome, since the base feature to rpint the full structure exists.

From the home of the structure, it would print the full structure (as it can be done with one click from a structure within a Workspace through ((doc:AulaWiki)) mod, or through many clicks as usual, as explained above).

If the user is on a subpage of the structure, that button would print that page and all subpages from the same structure.

Does it make sense?

Hi,

I think there is a usability bug when the option "Re-validate user by email after unsuccessful logins" is selected.
After x unsuccessful logins, the user gets an email with a link like :

http://www.mydomain.com/tiki/tiki-confirm_user_email.php?user=xxxxxxx&pass=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

When following this link, the user gets the message: "This feature is disabled". Nothing is clear on what to do next, if one's account is still valid or not, and how to change one's password if forgotten.

Tikiwiki version used: 2.2
Options selected:
* Crypt password method: crypt-md5
* Validate users by emails: yes
* Registered Users can change password : yes
* Re-validate user by email after unsuccessful logins: 3

The option
''Send an email to the user in order to allow him to validate his account. ''
in /tiki-adminusers.php ''Add New User'' tab
is only available if in /tiki-admin.php?page=login
''Users can register'' is ticked
Then and only then the hidden option becomes visible:
''Validate new user registrations by email''

By tickinig it the option
''Send an email to the user in order to allow him to validate his account. ''
in ''Add New User'' tab bcomes availabale.
This option should be available independend if or not the option ''Users can register'' is selected.

The ticking of a hidden configuration shouldn't be relevant for any functionality.

At tiki-admin.php?page=general when "Server Fitness" is activated or clicked, the page never loads, and the rest of the tiki site stalls as well.
A browser reboot must be performed or browser clear cache in order to access the tiki site.

A show instance will be created to test if this issue persists here as well.

My own instance:
Tiki 18.2svn
