Can't create a forum as a registered user. There is simply no button, unless you have administrative rights over the forum

When I try to delete a forum post at tiki.org, the modal header (not body) appears to confirm the delete action, but then disappears, so the delete confirmation action isn't possible, so the post isn't deleted.

At my localhost branch 20, this problem doesn't exist, so it's either a file version difference (REV 70641 at tiki.org compered to REV 70742 at my localhost) or some environment difference at tiki.org.

Can't post a reply on tiki.org forums! (wysiwyg textarea never shows up)
Tried here:
https://tiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=15&comments_parentId=57825

with chromium or Firefox and no way, from a desktop computer, as usual, where I've posted many times in the past.

Never ending "loading" bar is shown to me. with a user without admin perms.

I tried several time to reply using Safari Version 12.0 (13606.2.11) at:

https://tiki.org/forumthread69900-Filter-Results-using-Dynamic-Items-List?forumId=6&#comments


It refresh the page and I lost my work.
I switch to Chrome and it worked.

https://tiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=50396
offers a canonical of
https://tiki.org/forumthread50396

Good.

Now, it also has two links:
https://tiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=50396&display=print
https://tiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=50396&display=print_all

The print versions should have the canonical as well.

At this moment in version 3, forums are as they are, flat forums with category.

Labels for forum administration options to link a Forum and mailing list are very obtuse. Suggested cleanup as made in the documentation would help users.

When the same registered user clicks on a reply button (the only thing what he can do then), the link will be like this:

^http://www.writingcenter4.info/forumId=22&comments_parentId=20&%3Bthread_sort_mode=commentDate_desc&post_reply=1&comments_threshold=0&comments_reply_threadId=27&comments_offset=0&thread_sort_mode=commentDate_desc&comments_per_page=50&comments_grandParentId=20&thread_style=commentStyle_threaded#form^

But what happens is:
404 Error

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
The error is:

Notice: this variable may not be empty: $_POST["thread_sort_mode"]

Hello, I had a problem with the response to emails, since from the forum the reading is read correctly, but when entering from the module "Last email forums" and answering from there, the thread of the communication is lost, so that the comments are lost .. could you help me with that please? Thank you.

Hello,

On the user forum, when I send a new thread I have always the "crash" message :

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 1491648 bytes) in /var/www/tikiwiki.org/setup_smarty.php on line 172

I yet notice this but I don't received any answer.

This is generally caused by a too low allocated memory for php.

The message is nevertheless sent but I (we) need to reload it.

Best regards

Trebly

Any robust forum software must have the flexibility to be able to create sub-forums (i.e. a forum within a forum) if needed.

For example, if I wanted to have a general Wiki forum that lists all the PHP-based Wiki software, that would look like so (example screenshot created in phpBB to illustrate):
{img fileId="1333" thumb="box"}

Under __Wiki software__ (which is a forum in its own right), you can see that there are other sub-forums. The sub-forums are for specific discussions about those technologies, but the more general __Wiki software__ is to discuss

* Wiki software in general
* anything not to do with the specific Wiki technologies listed, or
* a Wiki technology that has not been listed (such as, for example, an emerging one)


So that, by clicking on the __Wiki software__ forum, I would be presented with the underlying Wiki forums, but I would also see a list of topics associated with the general __Wiki software__ forum as described above.

===__Why is it needed?__===
Without this functionality forum administrators using Tiki for their forum are forced to use workarounds such as having to add another forum called "Other" that is meant to be a catch-all for anything that is not defined by the existing forums, such as this
{img fileId="1332" thumb="box"}

and if you had multiple forums, it would result in each forum having an "Other" entry, which is not very pretty.


This has been discussed with Marc Laporte and work should begin shortly.

there is still that issue sometimes with the error undefined "thread sort mode" if you preview an answer before posting it at tw. forums.

It heppened to me again when attempting to reply to a thread with a comment already, and I previewed my post first before attemptint to post it.
When I clicked on post, I saw that message.

TW.o is currently using tiki5beta1 r26677

On the Tiki forum if you delete a topic you will see 2 messages:
"Success"
"Error"

The topic page should be loaded as success and not a "lost in space" page. ?

The forum doesn’t know where to go when deleting a thread.

One of our users reported that she was receiving watch notifications whenever she clicked the "Discuss" button for a wiki page, even though she was not posting anything in the forum topic.

The cause was a Watch on "A user posts a forum topic (forum_post_topic)" for the Wiki Page Discussion forum. (Our Tiki uses a forum for page discussion instead of page comments.)

The preferred behavior is that this type of watch would only generate a notification the ===first=== time the Discuss button is clicked for a page, when the new topic is actually created, rather than just accessed on successive clicks.

Folks would probably use external wiki abbreviations more if they and their full equivalents were displayed on the editing screen. Even better if there were an explanation of what they are for, how to use them. Maybe a tooltip?

As Admin, when I create new Topic Post in a Forum, and add Tags and post... if I edit the former post tags, adding more tags, they are not saved. The former tags remain.


General Settings:

Tiki 6.0 fresh install.

Problem solved in 6.2

I'm using 1.9.2. When I e-mail a new forum topic a forum, the body of the topic has added to it the following language:

~np~Use this thread to discuss the [tiki-index.php?page=mynewforumtopic|mynewforumtopic] page.~/np~

This would make sense if the material was coming in as a result of a Discussion of a wiki page. It might possibly make sense if the wiki page exists. It does not make sense in the context of creating a new forum topic that does not discuss a wiki page.

A bad solution is to verify that the wiki page exists before creating a link to the wiki page. This is not satisfactory because wiki pages may exist that are not related. For example, in my application, I have a forum for each state or other territory which discusses forms. Each state has forms with similar names. A discussion of a form "X" in one state's forum should not be linked to a wiki page "X" dealing with another state's form. Such a link could cause someone a real big problem if they don't realise what's happening. A similar mixup on a medical topic could be even more disastrous.

Users are able to customize Forum Threat layout in a menu on top of the threat with number of posts per page, style, sort by. In My Tiki users are able to set this as preference for user to user messages. This should be possible for the Forum layout too!

Some users prefere the Forum old-post-first and all posts on one page, others prefere latest-post-first and 10 or 20 messages per Page. I would like users to set personal preferences for the discussion forum too. Not for each forum, but once per user, globally in myTiki.

This is a standard feature of most bulletin Board software and the TikiForum should have it too :)

Forums are getting powerful enough to substitute mailing lists on many tiki sites (yahhogroups, etc.). However, notification messages from forums cannot be added easily to local email filters since the subject doesn't contain a label like [[Forum X - site Y] to ease this task.
{CODE()}
[Forum X - site Y]
{CODE}

I guess this must be very easy for a coder (just adding some variable to a smarty template? and adding a call to that variable if needed from the related .php or .tpl file - I just get the rough idea... I wish I could do that myself...)
