(10:33:47 AM) ***dthacker also wonders if there is a login-timestamp wiki syntax such as mediawiki's ~~~~ that would auto sign with user id and date/time.
{CODE}


Wiki pages are great to produce Neutral Point of View (NPOV) content. If we need to know who added what, we check the edit history.

For debates, discussions, opinions, etc, people will often use Tiki blogs, Tiki forums or comments at the bottom of wiki pages. These are more natural formats and it's clear who thinks what and who said what. Comments & forum threading make it clear who is responding to who/what.

However, in some cases, it is useful to have this type of interaction in wiki pages. The [http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Editorial+Board|TikiWiki documentation Editorial board] has monthly meetings to discuss and make decisions. Members can edit, comment and vote on motions.

The way people add their comments is not standard and if we are not careful, it can get messy. This often happens in wikis.

Some wikis use a special syntax for "signature". This would be a way to associate the name of the user and maybe the date to a specific comment. It would be nice to clearly and visually associate the user to the comment. Maybe the comment & signature are in a same box?

It would be nice also for people to be able to express support to an idea in the wiki page, with a thumbs up (+1) or a thumbs down (-1). Right now, the wiki ratings feature let's us vote only once per wiki page.

These syntaxes should be quicktags to it's easy to add. Maybe some of the less important meta data (ex.: date of comment) would be only visible on mouse-over. (and thus not in printed mode). The mouse over could also contain a link to the user's personal wiki page and some data about the user (his avatar, score, etc).


Ex.:
*click my PluginComment tool (in toolbar)
*Pre-fill text that will be mouse-overed with previously selected text
**add date & signature (with link to userpage)


Everyone: please share your ideas on this and how you have seen it implemented elsewhere.

Thanks!

File is delivered as below, thus causing the rest of the page after the embedded poll to be bolded.

CVS update of 1.10 at 04:27 UTC

After the admin user "Admin" enables the poll feature, they are unable to access the poll administration page.

To reproduce:
1. Log in as admin
2. Enable Polls checkbox via the Features-->Admin Page
3. Click on "polls" in left-hand admin menu
4. Permission is refused.

Another way to reproduce
1. Log in as "Admin"
2. Click on "Admin Home" in the left hand menu
3. Click on the "Polls" Icon.
4. User is taken to ~/tiki-admin.php?page=polls, which is not Polls Admin, but Polls comment admin.
5. Click on link at top of page: "To add/remove polls, look for "Polls" under "Admin" on the application menu, or Click Here."
6. URL when hovering is ~/tiki-admin_polls.php
7. Receive permission refused error.

Try to vote on a closed poll.
The showed error break the page layout.
THe display message error page is presented without any css and theme.

under admin permissions:
If you edit a wiki page with a wiki rating, the old poll is deslected and a new poll is made with the generic name 'rate it'.

This means the scores are reset to zero and the admin has to edit the page again and reselect the old poll.

under registered permissions:
If you edit a wiki page with a wiki rating, the old poll is deslected and the page doesn't have a rating anymore.

Wiki ratings is a very nice feature, but this is a showstopping bug.. I hope it isn't too hard to fix ;).

I am running tw 3.6 LTS in an enterprise environment (PHP 5.3.2, Windows 2003, Apache 2.2.13). We saw this same issue in 3.2 before our LTS upgrade.

We have tried to enable Rating (Polls) by following the instructions at [http://twbasics.keycontent.org/tiki-index.php?page_ref_id=366] and [http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Polls] (Poll templates). I have enabled the Rating, Categories, Poll options in Admin.

After adding the rating option to a wiki page, I save and revisit. I can see the Rating button in the top right corner of the page. When I select it, the button expands as expected into a pane with the options and a vote button, however the page also redirects to tiki-index.php# (my main page).

Why does the Rating button redirect instead of remaining on the page and allowing the user to vote?

It behaves the same in IE6 and FF3.6

Can you please retest in currently supported Tiki versions? (e.g. Tiki12, ...). Thanks in advanced! {sign user="xavi" datetime="2014-02-07T09:46:47+00:00"}

I tried to access the poll at dev.t.o using the Setting menu item, polls.
It goes to a 500 page error.

Polls are working fine at tiki.org
