Category: 1.9.x

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.

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.

When I set the homepage in Administration: General Preferences to "Articles" (which is what I want the homepage to be for both anonymous and registered visitors), the initial viewing for "anonymous" displays a homepage of "wiki".

When I set the homepage in Administration: General Preferences to Group homepage and then set the two group homepages to a typed-in "Articles" in the empty field and then log in as any user, the display is "No page 'Articles' found".

When I set the homepage in Administration: General Preferences to Group homepage and then set the two group homepages to a custom URL (http://www.progressiveomaha.com/tikidir/tiki-view_articles.php), the display is "no such page found".

One day I thought maybe the problem had to do with using Firefox on a Linux box, because my ancient Windows 98/IE machine brought up 'Articles' as the home page.

The next day both machines bring up the Wiki page as the home page. This is with the homepage set to 'Articles' in Admin-General.

Maybe I should be clear that I am refering to which page is brought up when TikiWiki is first accessed (from www.progressiveomaha.com/tikidir/).external link Once I have logged in as a user, I will access the 'Articles' homepage whether returning as another user or as anonymous. The problem only occurs on that initial anonymous access, and only after TikiWiki has had time to "forget" any earlier logons by that user.

The list of tiki pages presented for selection and addition to a structure is truncated at 50 records for no apparent reason and there's no way to add records >50 without running a filter.

I just parroted what I saw in tiki-admin_categories.php for its similar page list and it works.

The diff is below - hope I did that correctly.

*.backup is the original file from the official tiki releast. *.php is the version I modified.

An attempt to log in using PAM (php-auth-pam) gives the following error message:

{CODE}

In the bottom bar of Tiki sites if activated there is some "debug" information. Notably:

{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
[ xx database queries used ]
{CODE}

The SQL counter report is incorrect and reports higher number. Since this is making Tiki look bad for no good reason I am removing until it's fixed.

I'm currently having a major problem after upgrading to 1.9.5 from 1.8. Apparently, now all users can post to all the blogs, whether they are marked public or not. I ran the various database upgrade scripts, but it doesn't seem to have an effect. Users can post to whatever blogs they want by using the blog pull-down menu in the blog posting/editing screen.

If the user clicks "list blogs," there are no options shown to post to the unauthorized blogs. This seems to be a problem with the "blog" dropdown bar in tiki-blog_post.php. Somehow it's bypassing the check and letting users post in whatever blogs they want...

When login fails, I should get an error message.

Help!
The locations drop down menu in my Tiki calendar does not sync with the database.
As I'm new to Tikiwiki, how on earth do I fix this short of dropping the table and re-entering the data?
Thanks for your time.

I need to see the information about the last modification of files on the File Gallery. Date and User.

two more columns are needed in tiki-list_file_gallery.php. Last modified, User. I don't know if more mysql field are required.

An email message hasn't integrated into the forum. Tho forum posting is just empty. I'll attach a zip with the original message.

On clean installs (empty databases) of TW 1.10 and 1.9.11 (also tested and confirmed on the clean 1.9.11 install on opensourcecms.com).
After users (perms tiki_p_create_blogs and tiki_p_blog_post enabled)create a blog they can proceed to post to any other user's blog. More precisely, on the post blog page, a user can select all blogs from the "Blog" field

Setup:
1) Create a new forum
2) Enable the post-by-email function (and create the associated email address)
3) Send an email post
4) Send a second identical post
5) Attempt to visit the forum - denied

We use one of our Tiki forums to archive contents from a mailing list - we have a dedicated address which is enrolled in said (external) list. This normally works great, except we were unable to visit the specific forum recently - the error message notified us that duplicate name and content posts were prohibited. It turns out the mailing list sends out regular (monthly) notifications which happen to be identical. It seems that that the POP server is polled when the forum is accessed - the message is obtained, and the post attempt it denied, and effectively locks the user out of the forum.

Verified on the opensourcecms 1.9.11 demo site.

- Upload images to an image gallery, store in database
- create wiki page with tag {img src=show_image.php?id= }
- the images show for a while, but suddenly they do not show anymore

Hi to all,

I want to know if you can create a protected page that only logged in users can see, I know I can turn off the wiki so only logged in users can access it, but is there any way that I can put under restriction only a few pages since they contain some important info that can be shared only by users that have accounts on the wiki.

Many thanks

Installing BANNER in siteheader crashes with error message about unrecognised BANNER

File Galleries bug.

Uploaded a powerpoint document a few meg in size, with the name "The basics of leasing.ppt" and tikiwiki freaks out and tries to display the contents of the file on screen.

User set forum style as Plain and save it after next login style is Threaded again.

Adding an event to the calendar adds 3 or 5 hours depending if user is at local or UTF time.

Bug reproduced on Tikiwiki.org

Bug is present with or without jscalendar.

Blogs post titles are truncated after posting (saving the post, not just previewing) in a blog when title is longer than 78 characters aprox..
I have no idea if this is an issue related to bbdd (mysql in my cases) or php.

Some MTAs set the message id to "Message-Id" in the mail-headers. Tiki only checks for "Message-ID", so that produces an

__Notice: Undefined index: Message-ID in /tiki-webmail.php on line 425__

when in ''/tiki-webmail.php?locSection=mailbox''

and an

__Notice: Undefined index: Message-ID in /tiki-webmail.php on line 160__

when in ''/tiki-webmail.php?locSection=read''

Subject says it..

in list etc. it is good.. just when reading a mail it doesn't get decoded

The blogs admin area offers an easy way to sort blogs by name rather than id, but the file gallery admin area doesn't. This is important, I think, because if you have lots of files in a given gallery, you may want them to appear in alphabetical order. The id sort method, which seems to be the default, doesn't allow the administrator to build in user-friendly structure for file galleries.

I've put this in as a feature request, but if someone can help me make the change I'm suggesting, I would appreciate the help.

Thanks!
