Category: Feature request

Tiki offers all RSS Feeds for individual and all items of a feature. Like:

RSS Feed for all Blogs
RSS Feed for individual Blogs

This is not the case for Trackers as far as I can see - at least from Admin -> RSS

Tiki can collect RSS feeds from many sources. That is nice. However, it would be nicer to combine many RSS feeds in one nice list.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_aggregator

We now have an RSS feed for last changes to all wiki pages [tiki-wiki_rss.php]

It is possible to ((watch)) a wiki page and receive emails of changes. Next step is to have an RSS feed per wiki page.

If the access to the various pages (and, presumably) the other parts of the system is controlled by passwords, RSS feeds would be more useful if they contained the same items the users will see when they log in.

Currently, RSS feeds only contain pages viewable for anonymous users.

We have RSS feeds for many features.

Articles:
Weblogs:
individual weblogs:
Image Galleries:
individual Image Galleries:
File Galleries:
individual File Galleries:
Wiki:
forums:
individual forums:
mapfiles:
directories:


We now need RSS feeds for
Trackers:

We already are able to show articles, wiki page changes, etc on our calendar. So, how about showing RSS feeds on tiki-calendar.php? That would be a nice way to aggregate all the RSS feeds :-)

RSS feeds could be filtered much the same way as Group Calendars and Tools Calendars. A third column would be added with all available RSS feeds. Users could select via checkbox which RSS feeds they want. (By default none are selected)

Therefore, thanks to RSS in & out for calendars, several Tiki sites could federate calendar data via RSS.
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-calendars_rss.php?ver=2

Later, we can add ical and hcalendar (http://www.microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar). But in the mean time, it's an easy & efficient solution for calendar sharing :-)

WebCalendar has a Remote Calendars feature to support hCalendar (for example)
http://webcalendar.cvs.sourceforge.net/webcalendar/webcalendar/edit_remotes_handler.php?revision=1.7&view=markup

tiki-admin_rssmodules.php permits to import RSS feeds into Tiki, which you can display & combine in wiki pages or module (great).

However, it shows all the article titles the same way (not so good), the most recent at the top (good)

If the user is logged in, and thus, we know the date of their last login, it would be nice to visually distinguish new articles from old ones (putting them in bold for example). Easy to do and would enhance user experience.

I'm sorry if this has been noticed already,

any chance of seeing RSS feeds for comments on articles and blogs?

RSS feed for the wiki now links to the last 10 pages changed. And no text is provided in the RSS feed. So, we click the link and we are provided with little clue of what changed. We then need to click history. Why these extra steps?

It would be much more logical to provide the diff text in the RSS feed. (instead of nothing)

Ex.:
- John has a lamb
+ Mary has a lamb

Also, the URL should link to a nice diff version instead of the page.

Ex.:
tiki-pagehistory.php?page=HomePage&compare=1&oldver=19&newver=20&diff_style=minsidediff

Therefore, we can see basic changes just with RSS and if we click we get the nice colored minsidediff

Stateful? by rpg
posted on: Wed 18 of Jul, 2007 [17:48]
The idea of an aggregator --- and ideally one that could be put on a Wiki page together with other items --- sounds great. But only if it's going to be a stateful aggregator. I.e., I don't want one that will forget which items I have read when I revisit it.
{QUOTE}


A simple fix would be to somehow highlight all the RSS feed items which have a date/time which is after your last login. A bit like the "Since your last visit" module.

setup.sh offers to run Composer only, but how can we launch this from the command line?

For example:
{CODE()}sh setup.sh composer{CODE}

Tiki has a basic feature to generate slides from wiki page data. This permits to prepare slides collaboratively and makes them highly available/searchable/accessible.
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Slideshow+User

However, the feature is not very exciting.

1- I do not want to rely on an external service to distribute my
slides. I want to put on my TikiWiki-powered sites. And I want them to
be searchable & accessible. An export to Flash is not ideal.

2- I want something standards-based to make sure I can use when I am
not using my computer (like at FOSDEM). Sure, Regis did an amazing
presentation at the last TikiFest, made with Keynote. But now, how to
share, mix and re-use?

3- I want a way to collaborate (when preparing) & share slide
information in an easier fashion.
a) I have done dozens of presentations. The collaborative process
using desktop tools is very inefficient. I remember a long night in a
hotel room in Tunis where we where collaborating over Skype to
fine-tune a presentation.

4- As Dogfood, I think these slides could help to
A) Make nicer tutorials/documentation
B) Promotional material on info.tikiwiki.org

5- Finally, I want something much nicer than what we have now. The
quality/design/features of S5 reloaded has nothing to be shy about
compared to Desktop apps:
http://www.netzgesta.de/S5/reloaded/advantages.php?id=sunny_gfx

Some goodies I look forward to using:
A- A second browser window which shows me a timer and some notes.
B- A special syntax to handle handouts.

6- Some of the concepts (ex.: image resizing depending on current
browser size) could be useful for Tiki in general.


Here is a proof of concept of
Wiki page:
http://trim.rclaporte.com/svn/slides/tiki-index.php?page=tests5reloaded
Slides:

Investigate:

http://www.netzgesta.de/S5/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S5_%28file_format%29
http://icant.co.uk/domslides/

Ideal:
Long-term collaboration/integration of one of these, or a similar open source project

Perhaps with ((jQuery))?

{THUMB(id=45, url="tiki-browse_image.php?imageId=45")}{THUMB}

#Users would highlight the blocks of time they can be around for
#Their name and a color is automatically added to the block they selected
#Times that we want people around for (like shifts) are given a different background
#You can't overwrite someone else's selection
#You can go back and forth to any day in the future (past should be archived)
#Sign in so users don't have to type their name.%%%ideally allows for permissions, only x users can use the room monitor column
#Can also output it as a text list, username with their hours after it etc

Hello,

We have 2 kind's similar features one is legacy but the interface is more user-friendly and one is modern and powerful with an unusual interface.


Score is a bit limited, use template, a set of badges, it is not possible to design the output, creating an event require file editing, etc...
https://doc.tiki.org/Score
https://doc.tiki.org/Score-Admin
https://doc.tiki.org/Score-Details
https://doc.tiki.org/Score-Details#Creating_new_event

Goal and recognition is better designed, use the rebuilt-index and relation, allow custom badges and goals, etc...
However the interface is not user friendly or consistent with usual Tiki admin interface.
https://doc.tiki.org/Goals
https://doc.tiki.org/Tutorial---Goals

Ideally we should be able to use the Score admin panel at tiki-admin.php?page=score to set the goal options

Search (index) need sometimes to "Explode" a itemList field values as an array of string so each value can be filtered

For an exemple, in a tracker you have an itemList fields using this date field with such values:
* tracker_field_date: 2021-03-24, 2021-01-14, 2020-10-22

To filter per date (we need item that contain "2021-03-24" only) we can should be able to use multivalue.

{CODE(caption="filter set in a smarty template, work the same elsewhere")}
{filter field="tracker_field_date" multivalue="{/literal}{$row.tracker_field_holidayDay}{literal}"}
{CODE}

''Note: if you use content you may filter "2021-03-24 and 2021-01-14 because they both contain "2021"''

This is working fine if you use elasticSearch but doesn’t when you use Mysql.

I know this is a new feature, but it is better to deal with this earlier than later... ;-)

At doc we have : https://doc.tiki.org/System%20Trackers that is about "system trackers" and mention "new section in Control Panels > Trackers > 'System Trackers'"
When I go to a fresh Tiki 23, searching for "System Trackers"in the admin search preferences doesn't help. (results are really not what I'm looking for)
If I search for "System", the option "Exchange rates tracker" is displayed among too many things (yeah System is used I Tiki ;-) )

This feature (section) is important enough to deserve its own tab (it will also rank the degree of "importance") and this section is (will be) a collection of trackers so it will grow and even with 3 or 4 tracker option (accordion) that will be awkward at the bottom of the page.

This tracker item could not be found

I would like to suggest that the search engine takes into account that users sometimes need to have the results of their search grouped.

Per example, here is a screen capture that shows results this way:

#Main result
##Sub-result

::{img type="src" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3166/2777222253_b1f7de9a20.jpg" noDrawIcon="n"}::

Right now, on my site, the result of the search engine gives me *one* link to refer to. Mind you, it is may be better to get one result instead of reciving so many results that we don't get any sense of intelligence.

My 2 cents.

No tool on dev.tikiwiki.org for finding a tracker item by item number. Unable to process IRC request to look at bug 2683 without URL tinkering.

There is no search option on Tiki Webmail.
This is not really an option for real life usage and a search feature is much needed.

The Search preferences at the top of the admin control panels pages should be clever and be able to display "alike" results like for "suggestion" or "suggestions".

Using plural or not, first letters of a term, etc...

We can already filter by section:
http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-searchindex.php?highlight=test&where=trackers

Now, we could use 〈=fr


Also, users can now indicate to Tiki the languages they speak. If a person speaks three languages, s/he should see all three.

Actually on Tiki forums, https://tiki.org/forums, there is a "simple" search field on the main page.
Initiating a search open https://tiki.org/tiki-searchindex.php (out of forums area) I can see 1289 pages of results and it look like forum posts (I didn't;t check all pages ;-) ). The first page of results displayed posts from the mailing list archive (forum26).
You can then use facets to try to narrow search results.
But the filters were though for a general use (Object Type, Language, Federated Search, Category Tree, Categories, Letter, First word) and are bad for searching posts in forum... I don't see a case I would use any of them.?

With 1289 pages of results that just awful.

---

If you go in a forum like : https://tiki.org/forum26
You have also a "simple" search field. Again you are redirected to https://tiki.org/tiki-searchindex.php but then it displays any objects found (not only posts). This is bad too. If I'm in a section or an area like a forum and initiate a search I should see results from this area.
Again filters are not relevant.

---

If I go in a thread then I don't have any search tools but seems ok to me.

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.
