Category: Category

This tracker is made to help filtering and sorting the features vs categories vs options we need to tag a bug/regression/wish with.

Tiki perms are very fined-grained: great

But when you need to create a lot of items with individual perms, it can be time consuming and human-error prone.

So copying perms from another page (which we know is OK) will be very helpful.

It will also save tons of time since permissions are not inherited.

lib/tree/categ_admin_tree.php and categ_picker_tree.php use setFlipWithSign() from tiki-js.js. In trunk, as of r30612, this causes a JavaScript error:

setFlipWithSign is not defined
setFlipWithSign('categorizeid1');

And the category flip sign is unusable. The problem is setFlipWithSign() was removed in r30170.

In tiki_categories-admin.tpl, the javascript function toggle is used to toggle tree nodes for subcategories. However, that function appears in two places - PHPLayers menu and tiki-js. Ouch.

This worked in 1.9 and is broken in 1.10



Same is true for the debug console and (I suspect) anything else that uses the toggle function.

I isolated the problem - I added the browse categories module - that includes phplayers-tiki.php, which includes lib/phplayers, which has the toggle function...

More tracking found the problem - it is in lib/phplayers/lib/treemenu.inc.php

the makeNewTree function looks for a menu_name variable that is added to the toggle function name. This works for the standard category view. However, somewhere along the line the name isn't passed properly in categories module.

The other complication is that the normal category browsing page doesn't work right with this module.


Oddly, phplayers is not included in the 1.10 head download, so I don't get it.

This should be migrated to the community site, and handled with ((doc:Organic groups)) and ((doc:User Trackers))

I have a Category structure:

Top > Category XXXX (ID# 31) > Sub Category 11111 (ID #51)
Top > Category XXXX (ID #31) > Sub Category 22222 (ID #62)
etc.

There will continually be new categories added under "Category XXXX" (that is, new "Sub Category #####" items).

I want a wiki page that will list all the items in all the sub-categories under "Category XXXX".... but I want the list to be automatically updated so when I add a new sub category, I don't need to re-edit the wiki page. I want to see this:

Sub Category 11111
- item
- item
- item

Sub Category 22222
- item
- item
- item

etc.


I *thought* I could do this with the ~np~{CATEGORY}~/np~ plugin:
~np~{category id="31" split="y" sub="y" one="y"}~/np~

This lists all the items in all the sub-categories in one long list... but I want the items grouped by sub-category (which is what I *thought* the "split" parameter was supposed to do).

I also tried adding the "showlinks=y" parameter, but again I got only a single list...

Listing categories throws a sql error: no such function max(binary). Reason: in category library the function list_categories does a max() of some comparsions. This should be solved in another way.

Since all trackers (Bug, Bug : Usability, Feature request, Patch & Support request) are all in the same tracker, we need an <span style="color:black;background-color:#ffff66;">easy</span> way to list all trackers items in one category, as we can for other attributes.

This will also be useful to see all tracker items which are in the category "forum" for example.

Would be nice if tracker items were shown in [tiki-browse_categories.php]
This is implemented already.

---
Ideally (no rush for now), there would be an advanced category-tracker search, which would be a mask of all categories and we could search all tracker items which are in more than 1 category.

All tracker items which are in the category "forum" AND "bugs" for example. This should be a permanent URL so people bookmark and check periodically. Ex.: Frank would want to check mostly for stuff which affects maps.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
The LISTPAGES plugin does not display the category or category path for a page, even if so configured.

See demo/test on http://demo.tiki.org/9x/tiki-index.php?page=test_list

It appears that the $listpages variable does not include any category information at all.

PASCAL

Also tested with Version and Category path and also does not display

2008-05-27 00:45:39 prozaq that displays all categories
2008-05-27 00:45:32 prozaq Norrin_Rrr: in 1.10 there is a module called "categories"
2008-05-27 00:41:25 Norrin_Rrr will try it
2008-05-27 00:41:16 Norrin_Rrr the example in the documentation says its for features not sections that s weird
2008-05-27 00:40:51 prozaq oh - yes I think so, but Ive never tried it
2008-05-27 00:40:34 prozaq beg your pardon?
2008-05-27 00:39:45 Norrin_Rrr the section parameter in the menu its to set wich section (wiki/cms/forums) will display the menu ?
2008-05-27 00:38:54 Norrin_Rrr that should be doable
2008-05-27 00:38:19 prozaq so you should be able to copy some of the code from the tiki-browse_categories pages
2008-05-27 00:34:38 Norrin_Rrr yes
2008-05-27 00:34:16 prozaq but isnät that when you are creating a module from scratch?
2008-05-27 00:34:07 Norrin_Rrr i am not sure but there seems a possibility for hacking ?
2008-05-27 00:33:44 Norrin_Rrr "So if you know about Smarty template editing you can use any Smarty tag in your user modules."
2008-05-27 00:33:05 Norrin_Rrr ah okay i am at the module documentation, and its seems there are some conditionals with TW1.10 for modules but unfortunatly none for specific category
2008-05-27 00:32:56 *** franck has left #tikiwikin
2008-05-27 00:29:43 *** kiilo_ has quit IRCn
2008-05-27 00:28:34 Suprano even more if you paste in in a formular :D
2008-05-27 00:28:15 Suprano hmmm copying 4mb text slows down the pc
2008-05-27 00:28:10 Norrin_Rrr and display a menu that gather the various item of this category
2008-05-27 00:27:59 prozaq marclaporte: earlier I posted a bug to the tracker item Bugs & Wish list on dev.tikiwiki.org but how do I post to the "All Bugs" section or the "Release 110 taged bugs" ? section
2008-05-27 00:27:38 Norrin_Rrr yes
2008-05-27 00:27:30 marclaporte the goal would be to show a certain module only if current item (page, etc) is in category X ?
2008-05-27 00:26:07 prozaq eek...
2008-05-27 00:25:45 Norrin_Rrr its seems it works for feature enabled on the site but not for category (?)
2008-05-27 00:25:16 Norrin_Rrr yep i have the doc about the menu under my nose but i don't understand the section parameter
2008-05-27 00:24:39 marclaporte hi prozaq
2008-05-27 00:24:24 prozaq marclaporte: hi
2008-05-27 00:24:19 prozaq but Iäm not sure a specific category would fall under that
2008-05-27 00:23:57 prozaq it seems that you can tell a module which "section" it should appear in
2008-05-27 00:22:37 Norrin_Rrr for now 1.9.9 but 1.10 soon i hope :)
2008-05-27 00:21:20 *** marclaporte has joined #tikiwikin

2008-05-27 00:18:38 Norrin_Rrr i am not sure, a module with a menu would be nice
2008-05-27 00:18:08 prozaq a menu item or a module with menus?
2008-05-27 00:17:29 Norrin_Rrr and hello everybody ;)
2008-05-27 00:16:39 Norrin_Rrr Is it possible to show a menu only when a user reach an item belonging to a given category ?

Sylvie has recently added some useful code in BRANCH-1-10 so we can use categories as conditions in templates (.tpl)

[http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Hello+World#To_do_something_specific_in_a_template_ex_tiki_tpl_conditional_to_the_current_item_being_in_a_category_Ex_different_header_picture_|related info in Hello World]

Complete error-message is:
''Notice: Undefined variable: modcatlist in /modules/mod-change_category.php on line 72''

Steps to reproduce:

- assign mod-change_category.php to a column
- go to Admin->General or tiki-print.php
- see the error message

Editing my wiki HomePage I even had Tiki dieing completely with errors:

Notice: Undefined variable: modcatlist in /home/amette/public_html/tikiwiki-BRANCH-1-9/modules/mod-change_category.php on line 72

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/amette/public_html/tikiwiki-BRANCH-1-9/modules/mod-change_category.php:72) in /home/amette/public_html/tikiwiki-BRANCH-1-9/tiki-editpage.php on line 775

On the category module I set a custom url link using the category id argument;
~pp~%catId%~/pp~
{img fileId="1500" thumb="box"}

But the link doesn’t get the real catId value
{img fileId="1501" thumb="box"}

See: https://tiki.org/forumthread76022-Smart-list-filter-customSearch-filter-from-a-category-page-category-module-link

A show instance has been created.

see mod-change_category.tpl


Also, this module should offer subcategories...

If you enter a category like: Product Development
Then Save/Apply settings
the category gets changed to ProductDevelopment.
The only way around this at the moment is to enter the category id.


Module displayed depending on category. Separate multiple category IDs or names by semi-colons.

I tried to upload a screenshot but got this error:
File upload failed: SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 1 column 1 of the JSON data

When you get a display of all of the items in a category, the list is chopped into multiple pages, and the list is unordered.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
it seems there is a bug in 4.1 not allowing to assign perms per file in file galleries. i can only download the file as anonymous if i assign tiki_p_download_files to the whole file gallery where the file is saved in but not when the file is categorized in category with that permission assigned (which should work)

Hello, I have been receiving this error ever since I upgraded to 2.0 (I have since upgraded to 2.1 and then 2.2). When I click on admin_categories, I receive this MySQL error message. I have not found any workaround.

I did a clean install and clean database install and was unable to admin_categories there either.
MySQL version 4.0.18 local on a Suse OES 1 box. TikiWiki 2.2, started occuring in 2.0.

{img src=show_image.php?id=60}


Please help! Thanks a lot!

I don't know exactly well the following questions are related of Feature request or Bug issues. But I need to describe that issues as follows;

# When the Tracker refer the Item Link, need to show the values not of itemId.
# What is the correct expression when I try to refer the category field? I have tested it, and I got it returned category ID not of Category name. I need the later.
# Can I use 'link' not 'value' from Dynamic items list field?

__Case 1)__
{img type="fileId" fileId="607" imalign="left" align="left"}

__Case 2) & 3)__
{img type="fileId" fileId="608" imalign="left" align="left"}

Hi,

It just occurred to me that when upgrading to 1.10, users will need a script or something to create tiki_p_edit_categories perms for each tiki_p_view_categories perm that category objects have in the db.

This is necessary to preserve backward compatible state when upgrading, because tiki_p_edit_categories does not exist in 1.9.

Anyone good enough in SQL to write this purely in SQL, or should this be part of the PHP in the upgrade/install script for 1.10?

My users, sub-Admins, Editors, and registered users cannot edit any wiki page(s) because they cannot see the Category tab when editing any wiki page. Any edits are not saved. The wiki says a Category is mandatory, even if the page being edited is already Categorized.

This tracker item could not be found

Using 1.9.cvs from june 13th 2007.

When I make changes to a forum as admin, I get
^
Notice: Undefined index: categId in /home/httpd/tiki19/categorize_list.php on line 48
^

I haven't tried at other places...

My categories have subcategories, and some of them have letters with accents (Spanish tilde, etc.)

Every Time, i use the Categories-Feature in File-Galleries or when uploading Pictures, it got the following error:

Notice: Undefined offset: 20 in categorize_list.php on line 38

Notice: Undefined index: categId in categorize_list.php on line 44

The Item itself is categorized

Current feature Profiles in the Control Panels in Tiki searches profile names by category filters (15.x, etc).

Most profiles in profiles.t.o were reviewed in the last years and the suitable ones were added to the ((Profiles Wizard)), in most cases, and added tags to them to facilitate the discovery of profiles that will let you learn how to master feature X or Y that you might be more interested in (e.g., trackers in general, plugin listexecute, spreadsheets, tracker field itemlink, mathematical calculation field, staging and approval, etc).

Searching profiles from within Tiki by tags (folksonomy-based search) is not yet possible. The interface is ready to search by categories (top-down approach, if the naming of the profile doesn't match your expectations, you will miss it probably). "Who knows that Barter_Market will let you practice with itemslist tracker fields? or which profiles will let you learch how to use maps with tracker items? or with convene plugin? or with listexecute plugin? etc.

We currently allow the profiles control panel to search by profile name filtering by category matching the corresponding tiki version. __We should allow that profiles control panel (and /or the Profiles Wizard interface!) to search by tag name while filtering by the same category corresponding to the corresponding tiki version.__

https://profiles.tiki.org/tiki-browse_freetags.php?tag=listexecute&category=18.x ...

I tried once, but my php skills were not high enough, and didn't get the desired result.
Anyone willing to give it a go? (it shouldn't be that difficult for a senior dev, I reckon)
