It seems that if links are in the <description> tag of an RSS2 xml. With Firefox (or equiv) see http://scourgeweb.org/svnlogs/log2-rss.xml for an example of how it should render.

It does not render correctly in the RSS user module. The link URLS are broken and don't include the <a href="domain.tld/path"> only the link description of the path is displayed.

Tiki has a basic feature to generate slides from wiki page data. This permits to prepare slides collaboratively and makes them highly available/searchable/accessible.
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Slideshow+User

However, the feature is not very exciting.

1- I do not want to rely on an external service to distribute my
slides. I want to put on my TikiWiki-powered sites. And I want them to
be searchable & accessible. An export to Flash is not ideal.

2- I want something standards-based to make sure I can use when I am
not using my computer (like at FOSDEM). Sure, Regis did an amazing
presentation at the last TikiFest, made with Keynote. But now, how to
share, mix and re-use?

3- I want a way to collaborate (when preparing) & share slide
information in an easier fashion.
a) I have done dozens of presentations. The collaborative process
using desktop tools is very inefficient. I remember a long night in a
hotel room in Tunis where we where collaborating over Skype to
fine-tune a presentation.

4- As Dogfood, I think these slides could help to
A) Make nicer tutorials/documentation
B) Promotional material on info.tikiwiki.org

5- Finally, I want something much nicer than what we have now. The
quality/design/features of S5 reloaded has nothing to be shy about
compared to Desktop apps:
http://www.netzgesta.de/S5/reloaded/advantages.php?id=sunny_gfx

Some goodies I look forward to using:
A- A second browser window which shows me a timer and some notes.
B- A special syntax to handle handouts.

6- Some of the concepts (ex.: image resizing depending on current
browser size) could be useful for Tiki in general.


Here is a proof of concept of
Wiki page:
http://trim.rclaporte.com/svn/slides/tiki-index.php?page=tests5reloaded
Slides:
http://trim.rclaporte.com/svn/slides/tiki-slides.php?page=tests5reloaded



Investigate:
http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/
http://www.netzgesta.de/S5/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S5_%28file_format%29
http://icant.co.uk/domslides/

Ideal:
Long-term collaboration/integration of one of these, or a similar open source project

Perhaps with ((jQuery))?

Couldn't find another bug report for this, although this is an extremely noticeable bug so there should be an existing report.

The wiki sandbox for non-admin users is useless because it doesn't show save/preview buttons.

hi

following problem:

i don't know if it was during an upgrade or if it was already there before upgrading to 3.6 but somehow one of our tikis indexes words which aren't on the pages.

e.g. lichtschnittgerät (as one example) - should be only in one page but after you search it is listed in several tens maybe hundreds of pages.

the text in the resultlist show several other words which shouldn't be there (and are always the same)

i trieds refreshing the searchindex, deleting the tiki_searchindex table and redoing the searchindex all with no luck (lichtschnittgerät is listed there as lichtschnittgerät but thats some kind of code issue i guess)

Edit:
~np~So far i narrowed the problem down to the {maketoc}-Plugin:

on refresh-functions.php on line 175 I added:
if (substr($id,0,3) == "KT0") { // Just get me one of the pagegroups I know where the fault is
echo $id;
insert_index(search_index($content), $index_type, $id);
}

and on top pf the function &search_index I entered this
echo '<pre>'.$data.'</pre><hr>';
just to be able to see what data he gets - and at the place where {maketoc} is in the sourcecode of the page, a whole list of words appear instead of the table of contents (or nothing or whatever it should print out) of the particular page~/np~

Whilst the various .tpl files associated with search do a check on the $prefs.feature_XXX when showing the drop down menu for refining the search there is no check on whether the individual user has the privilege to use the feature. Therefore menu options can be shown that are not appropriate.

Also the drop down menus are slightly different for the three different .tpls files


No longer relevant - 15th June 2013

I just installed TikiWiki 3.0 on a XP workstation and a Solaris server. When I performed a search, the searched word was not highlighted in the SearchResults page. I used Tiki 2.2 and 2.8 before and both did it. It could be bug in 3.0.

I have examined the generated page and couldn't find the <span class='highight_word_01'> around the searched word.

I appreciate it if someone can show me how to fix it.

Thanks.

sending a message from userA through the userB homepage:
tiki-user_information.php?userId=N

doesn't keep a record at "sent" from userA (messu-sent.php)
And it should, because userA sent that message indeed to userB.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
The ((doc:Inter-User Messages)) system is quite nice.

However, it means:
1- That users have duplicate mailboxes
2- And the recipient can't just click reply

On dev.tikiwiki.org, this is not so nice because people already have an internal tiki mailbox on tikiwiki.org

So, let's think about an additional/modified feature called "direct message" or "direct mail".

This would simulate a regular email. (let's plan ahead that this should be able to send other types of messages (jabber, sms, etc.)

The headers could be:
"from" is Full Name ({$Username}) {senderemail}
"to" is Full Name ({$Username}) {recipientemail}
"bcc" to {senderemail} (So we have a trace of what we sent)

In case some spammers get a hold of it, let's have something like this at the bottom:
This message was sent via {$name of site}


Not sure if this should be done with the ((doc:webmail)) feature, or maybe as an option of ((doc:Inter-User Messages))

See how MediaWiki does it for a good example:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:EmailUser/Marclaporte

We already have in version 3.0 on tiki-admin.php?page=login

On permission denied, display login box for anonymous:
On permission denied, send to this url:

Similarly, it would be nice to send people to a specific URL or wiki page upon logout.

Ex.:
"Thank you for visiting"


Some ideas for the future. We should have a section in the admin panel "login/logout/navigation" with things like:

redirect on login (which is group home pages)
redirect on user account validated. Ex.: Wiki page "Thank you for registering"
redirect on logout. Ex.: Wiki page "thank you for your visit"
Close site (except for those with permission). Ex.: Wiki page "The site is closed for maintenance"
Close site when server load is above the threshold (except for those with permission). Ex.: Wiki page "The site is under pressure."
On permission denied, display login module (for Anonymous). (as it does now)
etc.

Also on tiki-admin.php?page=features
Redirect On Error
Custom Home

The above code does not work on 3.x and work perfectly on 2.x:

||with color|~~#FF0000:with color~~|~~#FF0000:with color~~
without color|without color|without color||

See print screen of the problem attached

Probably there has been some change in the parser in the new version that caused this.

This bug may be related with those other bugs:

*{wish id=2496}
*{wish id=2492}
*{wish id=2720}

The tikiwiki website I have lcated at www.xilluminati.com is no longer usable because homepage shows up blank with text message that says: "header already sent".

I have heard that in order to make the site work again one must empty out the temp dir. I have heard this is a cache issue. Executing both of these results in NO change.

Then, I have heard that in order to stop this error from occurring one must run setup.sh.

At this moment in time this error is ridiculous. This is FAR too technical for our simply wanting to use a CMS that offers the functionality that tikiwiki offers, however, none of us have time, budget, or patience with having to deal with this crap.

I dont even know if this error actually could have come about do to someone placing a bunch of oimages into root, or perhaps my trying to implement google analytics... etc.

The error log file shows nothing.

The site is useless, and all the time spent upon setting the site up with content, 47 hours+, could be lost for ever.

I would appreciate an answer, a fix, a simple, yes, "SIMPLE" solution.... as this has ALWAYS been my complaint about GNU based crap... that you all are FAR too technical, and lack front end usability design skills as well as lack the MOST IMPORTANT key to success in the market of computing... that being the lack of, "The ability to create user-friendly frontend design." My recommendation to ALL YOU DEV PEOPLE ON THE GNU YOU IS THIS ----> KISS

KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID!

Your lack of creating user-friendly front ends and systems is EXACTLY what stops the entire GNU side of the game, from beating up on Microsoft.

Sincerely,

A guy that has spent years on MS boards, within MS beta teams and as an MS partner who recently left MS due to monopolizing position of the company.

I am having problems using the flash plugin in TW3, that a TW2.4 site test that I have does not have.

1 - First of all the flash module code has to be re-written for it to work at all.
from:
{CODE()}{FLASH(movie="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeqdtbYz_M4")}{FLASH}{CODE}
to:
{CODE()}{FLASH(movie="http://www.youtube.com/watch/v/JeqdtbYz_M4")}{FLASH}{CODE}
Can the edit window button be modified to insert the correct code?

2 - 'Flash player not available' appears in slides of wiki pages although wiki pages themselves work fine.

3 - In calendar, list view shows flash movie but the preview doesnt - gives the error message 'Flash player not available'. Any tips or directions to solve these problems??

At doc.tw.o I just saw, at the since_last_visit_module, among many other infos, some report of new files being added, like:

# Batch Category Creation - Figure 3 (Batch Category Creation - Figure 3.PNG)
# Batch Category Creation - Figure 1.PNG (Batch Category Creation - Figure 1.PNG)
# Batch Category Creation - Figure 2.PNG (Batch Category Creation - Figure 2.PNG)
# Batch Category Creation - Figure 3.PNG (Batch Category Creation - Figure 3.PNG)

However, those files all link to the same url, which is the gallery url,
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-list_file_gallery.php?galleryId=2

and not their single url's.
Example:
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=126&preview
----

UPDATE: was that an intentional move? I still consider that the former (1.x?) behavior was better from the point of view of usability. {sign user="xavi" datetime="2013-11-17T09:49:01+00:00"}

Something like:

{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
{if isset($objectCategoryIds) and in_array(1, $objectCategoryIds)}
This is the documentation for {$page}. For bug reports and feature requests, please visit [http://dev.tiki.org/{$page}]
{/if}
{CODE}

a) I spent weeks testing these features one by one.

It will save time if all these features are enabled and complete with samples.

This is the approach used by Joomla and Mambo.

It also helps us learn faster.


b) The assist module is useful but asking users to read a tedious configuration as the first step will eat up too much time.

Site configuration or Look at Feel should be the first one.

It is also the most dangerous but essential.

c) Provide a clue, in the assist if possilbe, to replace a damaged header.tpl with a skeleton header.tpl

With jQuery, this would be nice.

Seen on tikiwiki.org

It gives error 404


Possible solutions:
*Users could be prevented to create pages with characters that conflict with
*Rewrite rules are not activated when page name contains such characters

Watch Module must be turned on.
Category module must be tuned on.
Article Module must be turned on.

If I create a new Article and assign it to a category that is watched by me, I should get a notifcation that a new object has entered the category. By I don´t get a notification.

I encountered this problem while I was working on the new report feature because I didn´t get an entry in the report too.

The possible Bug is located at the update_object_categories function in categlib.php (Line 1491) in the $categories variable.
$categories contains all new Categorie-ID´s of an object. So if I assign an article to a category, $categories should contain the ID of the category. No problem so far. The problem is, that each ID has a slash behind the last digit.

{CODE(colors="php")}print_r($categories);
die();
{CODE}

at the third line of the function gives

{CODE(colors="php")}Array
(
[0] => 2/
){CODE}

I think the slash is wrong.

This was not in 1.9 and I don't want this feature for most of my sites.

www.mozilla.com is automatically turned into a link. (great)

but support.mozilla.com is not.

So I must do:

{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
[http://support.mozilla.com|support.mozilla.com]
{CODE}

If automatic detection of support.mozilla.com is too risky, maybe the following:
{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
[support.mozilla.com]
{CODE}

should be smart enough to know that I meant:
http://support.mozilla.com

and not:
http://dev.tikiwiki.org/support.mozilla.com

inserting {debug} at the beginning of a template results in the following issue:

that happend in every template i tested
checked the directory and filepermissions for that path, but the Permissions are ok
serching the web resultet that it culd be a missing include for smaty, but im not that far into smarty to fix it on my own

A lot of people who install this aren't doing it via Fantastico and trying to change email settings to suit your hosting provider is a pain. Editing the php.ini isn't always wise either because what works for one app will break another. I know that you can copy the php.ini to the directory, but that's something of a security risk. There's a reason that the default php.ini is stored outside the web root directory.

I know that I see a lot of users posting on the TikiWiki forums with questions about configuring SMTP.

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.
