Category: Feature request

The use of an outside mail-list system is not unusual.

I'm using [http://feedblitz.com|FeedBlitz.com] to get newsletters to users.

It would be nice to have the FeedBlitz system integrated with the Tiki registration module.

Here is what their Knowledge base says about integrating this kind of requirement.

It would be very useful to have change the heading for the menu structure module into a link that goes to the top level of that structure. I'm actually kind of surprised this isn't already the case.

Update of database to 7.0 doesn't work properly so I was need to export wiki articles to tiki 7.0 version so I tried to use this feature (Tiki -> TikiPages -> XML Zip. I have extended version of PHP so it shouldn't be PHP Problem.

Tiki 7 includes the "Previous version" feature allowing links to refer to "older versions" of a wiki page (either by version number or date). What would be nice is to have a general way to browse an older snapshot of the *whole* wiki.
We have a wiki describing a quite complex scientific model and have a lot of model description in wiki pages. What we want is to access "snapshots" of the whole wiki. E.g: the state of the wiki from 1.1.2011 is the one describing the model version 1.2 and is used for this or this scientific publication. While the latest version of the wiki (27.6.2011) reflects ongoing developments one may want to surf the version from the 1.1. (e.g. to look for details that are not in the publication).
Is this (already) possible? I think an extension to the "previous version" function could do the trick (I have no idea of the inner workings of tikiwiki)...

If I create a table using the WYSIWYG Editor and click on the __Source__ button, the generated code is using HTML code like this:

<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Instead of the real Wiki Syntax for tables ([http://doc.tiki.org/Wiki-Syntax+Tables]).

I guess a "HTML->Wiki Syntax Translation" setting must be missing.

As an example, I found out a MediaWiki WYSIWYG CKEditor that does this same translation just fine. Maybe you could check out the code:

Thanks a lot!

We are running Tiki 6.2 (clean install), on a Windows 2003 Server, Apache 2.2.16 w SSL, PHP 5.3.3, remote MySQL 5 database.

What we would like to do in our organization is for an admin to create group MyGroup and assign Bill to the group. The admin would then give the MyGroup object permissions:
* Can add group members (tiki_p_group_add_member)
* Can remove group members (tiki_p_group_remove_member)
* Can invite user to my groups (tiki_p_invite_to_my_groups)

At this point I would figure that there would be some kind of interface so that Bill could have a user selector and bring people into his group. I have checked around but I can not see any mechanism to do this.

We want to avoid our admin to manage groups for 1000's of users.

On a side note, we also investigated letting users select their own groups however we can also not find a mechanism to do this. We enabled all permissions we could think of such as:
* Can subscribe to groups (tiki_p_subscribe_groups)
* Can join or leave the group (tiki_p_group_join)
* In the group we selected "User can assign to the group himself"
but we can still not find where the user can change his group.

Our users sign in with their LDAP (AD) logins and therefore do not go through the Registration process.

Any help would be very much appreciated as this is a big issue for us right now.

It would be nice to be able to select a perspective depending on the current content's categories and their respective jails.

I have made a hack that achieves this, but it would be nice to have it implemented as a feature. I described my hack and included the code here:

https://dev.tiki.org/lookup+perspective+according+to+category+IDs

There should be an option on the upcoming events module to just hide the module if there are no records to display at that time.

The recurrent option is missing the ability of choosing a recurrent monthly event happening on a specific day of the week. Ex: the First Friday of the Month.

You can only choose a specific day of the month. It would be appropriate to have a "day of the week" option and not just a numerical day.

BTW - I've tried to upload two screenshots, using Firefox 5 in Ubuntu 10.4, but the pop-up window never fully loaded. It just remained in loading mode. So if the bug staff isn't getting screenshots, that's probably a site bug that needs to be fixed.

The WYSIWYG editor should have a button to create HTML comments that will only be visible in edit mode, and not in read mode.

As with all HTML, the comment tags should not be visible in WYSIWYG mode. The commented text should be a different color; perhaps grayed out.

This feature would enable editing discussion to happen right within the page being edited. Editors could more easily reference the text under discussion, since it would be right next to the comments. Discussing pages separately in the forum would no longer be needed, or would be optional.

Feature request: Add an etherpad module to Tiki.

Etherpad allows __really__ real-time document collaboration for groups of users.
It's free and open source, with parts under Apache License 2.0, BSD, LGPL 2.1 and GPL 2.0 licenses.

On August 14 2011 the people at etherpad have released a jQuery plugin and a PHP class for easy injection of pads into web pages.

Hi,

I have the idea for a new feature or better to say a major extension of the use of existing features.

Areas would be related with the usability of the Website, where you can assigne content to certain perspectives in a way, that a link to this content will guide you sametime aswell to the content as to the related perspective.

Anonymous users (and registered) would find the content in the context of menus and modules, the webdeveloper decides.

I see "Areas" Important for certain usecases, it could be built with up mainly with existing features - only few code should be necessary.

See more description on http:dev.tiki.org/Areas

I would like to suggest an enhancement to TikiWiki 8 to integrate with MantisBT. Specifically the desired outcome would be:

(1) A single sign-on. If you are logged into to TW, you are logged into Mantis and visa versa;
(2) A unified view of user. If you are a registered user on the TW, then you are a user on Mantis and visa versa. Creating an account on TW also creates an account on Mantis.
(3) Either a center module to deliver Mantis content or a menu link to take you to the linked Mantis website.
(4) Users can create links between forum topics and Mantis bugs. Each forum topic links to zero or one Mantis Issue, and each Mantis Issue links to zero or more TW forum topics.
(5) Develop a TikiWiki syntax enhancement to enable users to easily reference Mantis bugs by Bug ID.

In tiki-admin.php?page=sefurl, we have
* Display blog title in the sefurl
* Display article title in the sefurl

which is really nice.

Even better would be to also have:
* Display tracker item title in the sefurl

So
https://dev.tiki.org/item1000
becomes:
https://dev.tiki.org/item1000-Tracker-mail-in-in-addition-to-forum-wiki-articles

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!

Categories are amazing for a large site. It makes it easier to manage. Next step is to add an option in search which can be filtered by category.

Hi,

Into the wysiwyg help on plugins, the height of the scroll list of plugins is superior to the eight of the popup. So the bottom of the list and scroll commands are not accessible.

The height is calculated from the height of the popup with is resizable.

[enhance] request : set a button into "plugin" to select the suitable plugin.

May be change tooltip of help to Help "Help on wysiwig syntax and plugins" rather than "Wysiswig"

The plugin manager should include the "help plugin which is into help", after the choice of plugin the manager help to fill it and include it.

I imagine that's the working is doing but I just add may be my view of this part of the Wysiwyg implementation.

The Tiki backup format is: http://doc.tiki.org/TRIM#make_backup

Todo:
* Set up backup server (could be using a *.tiki.org domain name)
* Nelson to provide a script for Marc to run on a cron job on each *.tiki.org sites that he is hosting.
** For security reasons, could be a good thing that this backup script can add only (and thus, that a compromised server can't be used to erase all our data)
* For the other servers managed by leu, changi and oliver, give them the same script or use an alternate method which provides the same result.
* Provide access to those backups to Jonny and LPH as they are needed to solve dogfood bugs, and they are great for performance testing.

If the script fails, there should be an alert to the Monitoring system (the community one managed by Tiki). So the script should signal some sort of success to Shinken instance we have.

a module would be wonderful for the new slideshow features (mootols and jquery) . So far, you can use the slideshow in a wiki page embedding through the iframe plugin the url of the slideshow, but it's way too difficult for newbies.

That module would need some param to let the user choose whether to autosatrt the slideshow, or not (liek the flash plugin with movies).

And another param for automatic loop or just play once. I would say

Sometimes, a same site has several domain names. And they all end up with different Canonical URLs.

"Examples of non-malicious duplicate content could include:
Discussion forums that can generate both regular and stripped-down pages targeted at mobile devices
__Store items shown or linked via multiple distinct URLs__
Printer-only versions of web pages"

Also, is http or https the canonical?

Minor annoyances:
-Manually entered times in "add item" do not always show up in the calendar as entered (often an hour off). Simply editing the item and re-entering the time fixes this.

-I ran across a limit on the number of calendar items. I had entered a large list of events and later ones disappeared from tha calendar -even in whole year view. I deleted old events and they came back. maybe this is isolated.

-If I mistakenly created a calendar, I could not delete it until it had at least one event entered.

Nice to haves:
-Some way of differentiating calendar entires from different calendars when they are combined. Ex:one calendar shows events people can go to volunteer to actually do something , one shows speaking engagements people can go and listen to. I now simply use HTML bold tags in the description of one of the calendars. This works but maybe some other way? Colors, different font perhaps?

-Ability to easily add link for a Google Map. Perhaps fields to enter address info and then auto generate a map link. Google Maps has this and can be put into a Tiki page but Google Maps lacks important features, like a list view and multiple calendars, that Tiki Calendar has.

1 click to add a login box instead of using the login module.

We use your engine for knowledge base items as well as intranet and were wondering if there could be a way, if it doesn't exist and we just haven't seen it, to be able to view words users search on that are not in a wiki, not found etc so we could take that data and make sure to add those words to a tiki page.

We wanted the ability to run reports on what words folks are searching on and not just ones that got hits

Thanks in advance
Mark
