Use direct pagination links:
Maximum number of records in listings:

The two pagination settings should be together in a section "pagination". (on this page is OK)


Would be even better to move all to tiki-admin.php?page=pagination

When editing a new article, the publish date at the bottom defaults to 2000. The month and day are not consistent, but it's always 2000.

I've checked the code. It's using these variables.
{CODE()}
$publishDate = date("U");
$cur_time = getdate();
$expireDate = mktime ($cur_time["hours"], $cur_time["minutes"], 0, $cur_time["mon"], $cur_time["mday"]+365, $cur_time["year"]);
$dc = &$tikilib->get_date_converter($user);
{CODE}
I'm running 1.9.1.

Any ideas?

As the calculated size of the line, depends of the size of the panel (resizable) is wrong (too of some ... <unable to translate, in printing in french the length unit "point">).
Then the line is always too long of a few for the panel (words or half of words cut before splitting the line).

This makes the blog edition unusable in normal conditions because to edit a text we have to make horizontal scroll continuously.

Analysis : the calculation of the length of line written in text editors is always complex. Generally today there is no problem, but the system which is behind editors is very complex to take in account all display configurations.

(nota : For my own I had developed some years ago a draw system - for engineering, Computer Assisted Drawings - system for windows displaying HPGL2 language drawings with fonts conversion from HPGL2 fonts system to True type, then I know well in details the whole problem)

~~#F0C:__With this problem, I can't let use the tikiwiki 5.3 by my bloggers.__~~

So I have written a warning take care "sorry very difficult to use"

There might be some sharp edge somewhere with the new ((doc:PluginGanttChart)) or with the profile to showcase it.

Editing a Gantt Chart through its own UI shows missleading messages after resizing some bars: some success message in a remarksbox, as well as another remarksbox reporting some sort of error:
-+Error: The following mandatory fields are missing: Dependencies+-
---

Reproduced here:

u: admin
p: 12345

The error message is legitimate: field dependencies was set to be "mandatory", and it seems as if that the jquery gantt editor ui doesn't expose this field to Tiki, therefore tiki complains that this mandatory field is missing. Or well, this is my own "educated guess" on what might be happening. I've removed the "mandatory" value in that field in the profile at profiles.t.o (but not in the show2.t.o linked to this bug report).

So that the problem here might be that the success message is fake? (just another educated guess) {sign user="xavi" datetime="2019-08-14T22:04:34+00:00"}

On a Tiki24 using ElasticSearch(7.x), using the console I recreate the index.
It fails after several minutes with the following error:

After starting Elasticsearch service on the server everything is back to normal.

Prior to indexing (or any operation that involve the search engine) there should be a check it is running and if not an appropriate message should be displayed. (with or without fallback set).

When I evaluated the software for my project, I was very happy when the documentation said that it was possible to create a workflow with categories, transitions and watches. But I realized that watching a category only triggered a mail notification when the transition was made in the tiki-admin_categories.php page. It was useless for me!! :-((

Flash plugin doesn't work well embedding videos from vimeo.com

However, from blip.tv (or youtube, etc.), videos are embedded fine

I create a first tracker after enabling the feature.

It show the following error:
Field tracker_id does not exist in the current index. If this is a tracker field, the proper syntax is tracker_field_tracker_id.

It shouldn’t show and error.
Eventually an info about re-indexing but would be better to do the job (first tracker is likely to be done by a new guy).

Export and the subsequent import of Field data is very valuable (and essential) for 'porting' a Tracker design from one TW instance to another.

But as the Tracker functionality has continued to expand, the amount of data that is made available in the Field import/export process has not kept up. e.g Description: Error message: etc. are not currently included.

This means that this data still needs to be typed in again and an existing Tracker design cannot be made available to another TW instance in a 'complete' way.

Some phantom prefs are introduced in each version of Tiki, as devs add/change prefs but don't notice this. So before each major release (ex.: from 11.0 to 12.0, but not from 12.0 to 12.1), a complete check needs to be done, for all admin panels.

# Start with a fresh install (this is important because some of these issues could only happen once)
# Visit tiki-admin.php
# Activate all Preference Filters (Basic, Advanced, etc.)
# For each of the approx 50 panels on tiki-admin.php
## Activate or deactivate any checkbox (any pref really) on the page (only one per URL, no need to do it per tab).
## Confirm that the pref change is reported.
## If any ''other'' pref change is reported, figure out why and resolve.

When the FAQ feature is enabled, hovering over feature 'Blogs' in the 'Main' tab generates a floating box that says 'Wiki'. Likewise, hovering over 'Mini Chat' on the 'More Functionality' tab generates a floating box that says 'HTML Pages'

No matter if you disable feature_wiki_1like_redirection
it in the "Wiki" part of Administration Page

the engine always tries to show you a page name
similar to the one you asked for.

This should be optional, like the rest.

But beware of:
[wish1697|permission "minor" seems useless on doc.tw.o: registered can't use it even if granted to them]

In trackers, you have fields, and fields have field types.
Practically all (at least all I checked so far) field types have, under the tab "Advanced" the possibility to change the field type to something else.

I know, changing a field type may lead to loss of data, so this should only be done well thought-through.

But if the field type is "checkbox", there is no field type setting in "Advanced", therefore a field type checkbox cannot be changed.

If you are in the design phase of a tracker loss of data is no issue. But being stuck with a checkbox is. The only workaround is to delete the field with the checkbox altogether and re-create it with the other field type.

But has other side effects: The field ID is always incremented, so the re-created field has a field ID "at the end of all fields", while the former ID is now unused, so you have to rewrite all tracker plugin calls "minding the gap" so to speak B-)

The only way to work around this is erase all fields and re-create them all. Which is, of course, cumbersome. As there is another (unnecessary) obstacle waiting: If you want to make admin life a little easier, you might want to export all fields, edit the export (if necessary), and re-import. But the export dialog does not exist if you have the tracker open. There is only an import button. The export exists only on the wrench icon of the tracker...

Tested in v3.1. When choosing to store File Gallery items in a directory instead of the database, the directory field requires the full server path. If the abbreviated relative path to the wiki is entered, file uploads fail.

This conflicts with both doc.tw.o (as of today's rev) and Admin > Wiki, which allows the attachment directory to be specified relative to the wiki directory.

I got a problem to see thumbnail and download file from File Gallery.
What I did are:
1. create a customized a folder for file gallery
2. point the file gallery folder destination to the new folder in setting.
3. upload a file
4. try to view the file and download the file, the system goes to endless loop, and no responds from server to client, logs are continuously generated till disk full.
[Thu Jan 01 12:56:38 2014] [error] [client 192.168.1.102] PHP Notice: ob_end_clean(): failed to delete buffer zlib output compression. in /apps/tiki/tiki-download_file.php on line 147, referer: http://tiki.mydomain.com/file1
5. after I check the code. in the tiki/tiki-download_file.php, line 146, it has below
~~#60F:while (ob_get_level()) {
ob_end_clean();
}// Be sure output buffering is turned off
~~
6. I googled the coding, looks it should be changed as below.
~~#60F:while (ob_get_level()>1) {
ob_end_clean();
}// Be sure output buffering is turned off
~~
7. I changed, the code, the file viewing and download are perfect. problem is solved.

Could any developer please review the code, if it is the way to go, please merge the change into the main trunk for future releases.

Thanks.

the wrench near the gallery name shows "<gallery name> - settings" but leads you to the global admin fgal page, same for the (?) button... doesnt lead to "<gallery name> - help" but to file gallery help on doc.tw.o.

when you have a gallery A opened at offset 270, and switch to gallery B, that other gallery is opened at offset 270 too. which shows NO entries when your gallery B has less than 270 entries.

Go on http://demo.tiki.org/trunk/tiki-list_file_gallery.php.

If you click on the title of the page "File Galleries" you'll download a picture (seams the first one in the gallery).

browse a gallery, hover over wrench under image and click "Page View" on the image menu... now the top of the page still says the gallery name, but if you click it, it does an "download image". Either the image name should be shown there, or the link lead to the gallery it names.
