Category: 3.x

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
Setup: Running 6.4, on Debian. Recently upgraded from 3.x, bug was present in previous version too.

1. In our TikiWiki forums, all discussion is emailed to an external address
2. At the footer of each email message, the Tiki appends a "Reply Link".
3. When a user receives the notification email, and follows the link, the Forum's "Reply to the selected post" fields are incorrectly populated. The "Title" field is for an enitrely different forum + thread, and the reply box contents are also not correct.

Subjectively (not exhaustively tested), this appears to only happen for posts after the first within a thread, e.g. the reply link for the original post functions correctly, but reply link for all following posts does not.

The 'correct' top post reply links are in the form:
<host>/tiki/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=14&comments_parentId=2994#form
While the 'incorrect' reply posts are:
<host>/tiki/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=14&comments_reply_threadId=14&comments_parentId=2994&post_reply=1#form

I suspect reply_threadId may be improperly populated with the forumId.

Thanks in advance.

Tested in version 3.3 and 7:
Importing tracker items through CSV does not properly process the date field.

My exported CSV contains e.g. "24/12/2010 19:55"
The imported data only contains "24/12/2010" The time has been left out.

Importing tracker items through CSV only sets the created and lastModif value properly if the dates from the CSV file are in the numerical php date format.

When you import a csv file where the created and lastModif dates are written as proper dates, the imported tracker items have a created and lastModif date/timestamp of the date & time of the import action.

example csv :

"itemId","status","created","lastModif","VRID -- 265"
"849","o","07/12/2009 13:24","07/12/2009 13:24","4"

Whenever I export a csv file, it contains the dates as shown above, so you can't just export data and import data on the fly without modifying all the values...

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
I wonder how many times over the last years I've had to select my user profile to be public in my preferences at http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-user_preferences.php

I always change __User information:__ from private to "__public__".
But after some months (and tiki upgrades, maybe?), I find that that settings is at "__private__"

Thus, When I go to send a message to a user, I can't either send the message:

^You have to be able to receive messages in order to send them. Goto your user preferences and enable 'Allow messages from other users'^

Or I can't because that user has that setting as private (I realized that chibaguy now has that same setting, but I wonder whether he chose that or not, like me)
---

same on other settings that have changed without my content:
Messages per page: 2 (I had 10, at least)
Allow messages from other users: no (I had yes)
Note author when reading his mail: no (I had yes)

There are some problems with mail notifications in tracker:

- mail sent by tw is in the wrong language and the "from" header field is empty when deleting a tracker item,
- mail sent by tw is (only) in the wrong language when the notification is about a comment or a file attachment
- everything is ok when the notification is about an item changing

Problem still seems to exist. Merging this case with Bug #4681

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
__Intro & Environment:__
*Italian language selected
*Tikiwiki 3.1

__Issue:__
Many words in our Tikiwiki appears with strange characters instead of accented characters or special ones.

__Analysis:__
I looked for the /lang/it/language.php and:
*I opened it with the __vim__ on my server
*I opened it with __Notepad++__ on my notebook using various codification (utf8, ansi, UTF8 without BOM, UCS2....)

The result was that the accented words or special char words are always not matching the right codification.

For example, I find
"blog_ranking_top_active_blogs" => "blogs_classifica_blogs_pi�_attivi",
instead of
"blog_ranking_top_active_blogs" => "blogs_classifica_blogs_più_attivi",

I tried also to download the 4.1 version, the zip version and also the tar.gz one.
The result was the same.

When assigning an module with LAST_ARTICLES on right column.

LAST ARTICLES only displays Articles that have NO Topic.

If I take an article and assign a topic to it, it will not show up anymore in LAST ARTICLES.

When I remove the Topic for that article, it will re-appear in LAST_ARTICLES.

After reporting a bug:

Users are sent here:

This should let them access the bug they just reported.

Using strasa.css in dev.tw.o, the tiki-sheets.php is not showing the content from both lateral columns.

I attempted to change theme style in dev.tw.o, but it's dead slow right now. and after 4 min. of waiting response from the server, I skip the test with another theme style. At least with strasa. it doesn't display both lateral columns.
----
after dev.tw.o responded (8+ min), I could reproduce the problem also in thenews.css
And the exact url to see the issue is this one:

When Tiki creates an RSS feed for a tracker, it will include __all__ items from that tracker, regardless of status. Tiki will ignore all status-related permissions, too.

For example, if Anonymous cannot view pending items, Tiki will ''still'' include pending items in the tracker's RSS feed.

I want a way to limit the tracker items that appear in a feed, based on status.

Please see:
http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=TikiTests&source=40

There is:
{CODE()}~~#FF0000:This is a great start! I think automated testing will be an important ingredient in the future, to keep TikiWiki stable.

That said, it seems to me that TikiTests still falls short of meeting many of my needs as a Test Driven Developer. I want to start ussing automated tests on Tiki ASAP, so let's figure out what's missing, and how to best support those needs.

This used to produce colored text. In a recent upgrade, it no longer does.

Is this a regression bug?
Or was this an accidental but never official feature?

The "Links" feature aggregates all links into one big list.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
In Tiki 3.5 when you want to link to a page with ~np~((somepagename))~/np~ within the __;__-Part of a definition list, the definition gets formatted as the question.

Right now, there's no way to find unreplied to posts in the forum. Having searched through your own support forums, this is definitely something you guys could use so that people can take a crack at answering previously unanswered questions.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
The live_support is not working as it did before.

First, the chat window (if invoked) comes up indeed and then that is all to be said.
Secondly, when installed on the left column of the page, it refused to be uninstalled. You continue confirming the deletion, but does not actually delete it.
I have a dedicated computer (thank for that) and I discovered that the live_support was responsible for not releasing MySQL connections. When I managed to remove live_support, the problems were with the MySQL were over.

The 'best language' logic only applies if no wiki page is specified, i.e. it only applies to the default wiki page.

Suppose that you select a translated version of a wiki page, and then follow a link to another wiki page, which has also been translated (into the same language).

As is stands, you will probably see the original language version of the second wiki page, and not the translated version. On the face of it, this is an error.

You could, of course, fix this behaviour, by modifying the link in the translated version of the first page, so that it referred directly to the translated version of the second page. In this case, you could argue that the current functionality is in fact correct.

I would disagree, because it makes the process of translating wiki pages too difficult. It would mean, that when you translate a single wiki page, you must locate all other wiki pages in that language, which link to the page, and update the links in those pages. Although the backlinks feature would help find the relevant pages, I don't think that you can reasonably expect a translator to perform this task.

hi,

i install the the tiki 3.0 but when i try to make the first login with admin give me a cookie error but i check and the cookies are enable.

any help
thank you

Hi there,

I want to nkow if it is possible to integrate the tikiwiki login process with another page, I want to create another secure page using the tikiwiki login process, Do you guys have any hint for doing that?

My page will be in php also, I know that I will probably have to do some inclusion but don't which file to include in my code and which function.

Any help will be much apreciated.

Thanks

When Intertiki is on, mod-login_box.tpl should show some info on the login box reporting where to register in order to log into that site. Example: edu.tw.o., with tw.o registration.
I've done this by hand:

^Intertiki is enabled. Log in with your account at <a href="http://tikiwiki.org">http://tikiwiki.org</a>. <br><b>New?</b>: <a href="http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-register.php">register at tw.o</a> and come back to log in here.

Intertiki is enabled. Log in with your account at <a href="http://tikiwiki.org">http://tikiwiki.org</a>. <br><b>New?</b>: <a href="http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-register.php">register at tw.o</a> and come back to log in here.
{CODE}

But this could be added more general on tiki, so that it checks whether intertiki feature is on, and get's the name of the intertiki server from some value at your tiki isntallation, and then, the message is customized on the login box.

If one gives a forum topic a very long title, it can mess up the screen formatting. Here's how:

The forums have a menu that allows one to move a posting from one topic to another.

That pulldown menu has entries that are topic titles.

If a topic title is extremely long it

3.0 and 3.1

When the number of messages in the mailbox exceeds the number set to display (regardless of the number set to display) no pagination tool appears so it is impossible to see the rest of the messages.

This is for read or unread messages.

It's happening on my live site, and it is also found in a fresh 3.0 installation under MAMP on my local machine.

It's a show-stopper!

__UPDATE: a clue__

So in Look n Feel=> General Layout

I turned off "Hide pagination when there is only one page"

and went back to the mailbox. Now it's showing

"page 1/1"

So it's not showing pagination tools to see more messages because it has concluded it is already showing them ALL.

So something can't count or can't subtract or has the wrong rule.

I'd like to have a way to comment on an item from GET by replying to it.

For example, right now an email with the subject:

GET:BigIdea

will send the user the BigIdea page.

A reply with the subject:

RE:GET:BigIdea

would generates a comment on the BigIdea page.

This use is different from appending or prepending. It's meant for a note in the margin not a modification of the original text.

Trackers can have many fields.

Multilingual is a way to have multiple values.

Native multi-valued trackers would be useful in certain circumstances.

Another way is to use ((doc:Category Tracker Field)) or ((doc:Items List and Item Link Tracker Fields)) or ((doc:Drop Down - Radio Tracker Field)) with multiple choice option. Probably the best is to build upon the ((doc:Relations Tracker Field)).



We would also want multiple sets.

First Name 1 (field 46)
Last Name 1 (field 47)
Address 1 (field 49)

First Name 2
Last Name 2
Address 2

First Name 3
Last Name 3
Address 3

First Name 4
Last Name 4
Address 4

Could we imagine a new tracker field type "Set of fields":
Fields: List of fields in the set. ex.: 46,47,49
Number of repetitions: ex.: 3

This would create artificial fields (in this case 46-2, 47-2, 49-2, 46-3, 47-3, 49-3, 46-4, 47-4, 49-4)

So these fields could be used independently (ex.: 47-2), but since they are linked, we could have some smarter handling for forms, reports and exports.

We could want the input form to by default indicate only the first set of fields, and via jQuery, show additional set of fields.
We could want a report/export of this "Set of fields" which would aggregate everything in one listing.

Editing articles fails for me in a tiki 3.3 site.
This is the article that I could finally add, when found a workaround:
http://entitatsdelamarina.org/art10

* At creation time, I added three email adresses to be notified, separated by commas, and made a mistake in one of them (email@domain@org,email2@domain.org,email3@domain.org). Note that first email address has an extra @.
* Tiki notified me that I had an error in email@domain@org (good catch, so far, so good!)
* changed email@domain@org for email@domain.org, and reattempted to submit the article
* I got: 400: Bad Request. Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.

Ok, removed those email addresses, and finally could save the article successfully.

Then I wanted to edit the article again (moving two lines from the header to the body), but I keep getting the same error 400 at saving time (I didn't make any attempt to set email address for monitoring any more; in fact, the field is not shown any more!)
