phpBB is a popular open source forum software.
Sometimes, a forum is not enough.
So, the data must be migrated from phpBB to Tiki forums...

If you want to help:
Please post links to similar scripts.
ex.: phpbb to invision board, etc
If/when we do a script, we should do for all major forums.

I have almost completed an integrated TikiWiki forum migration tool for 1.9.8.x and 1.10. Initial release will be to migrate only Tiki forums from one Tiki install to another. However, hooks are in place, and the intention is there, to work on extending the migration tool to importing of phpBB2 (or any other forum software) into Tiki. If you would like more information, email tiki.kerrnel@kerris.com. I expect a general release of the forum migration tool (for Tiki forums only) into cvs of both branches for beta testing by December 1/07. If all goes well, I'll have something released for phpBB2 migration prior to Dec 31.

If Trackers had the "tracker template" feature, it would allow for better pre-made extended features for Tiki at install time.
In tw.o forums, some people requested like: address books (imagine with the same basic fields as Mozilla Thunderbird & Evolution, etc. address books, ... Export from you local program (through csv), and import to your address book in Tiki (through csv).

The same for "Offers & Demands (linked or linkable)", that many people/communities would like to use like "out of the box" feature. I do have that kind of trackers made (basic, but working for production already: http://valldelcorb.org/trackers - http://valldelcorb.org/Comparteix (1.9.x) or http://intercanvis.net (1.10.x) using tracker plugins in a general Wiki page).

Since duplicate tracker is already coded in 1.10, and templates concept already exists in Tiki, Tracker templates would be a nice MUST in the MID and LONG run.

Tracker templates should be selectable at install time (in the new installer devs. are thinking/designing -> ((Install)) ), or at a later stage through Mods, maybe?

Using 1.10cvs from mid june 2007.

Using 2.0 RC2 August 2008

Request passcode to register: fails.

__Example 1:__ (Still broken?) I toggled on "Request passcode to register:" and "Prevent automatic/robot registration:", as well as "user tracker" selected at registration time, and after the registration steps, and filling the user tracker information, I get the message (like): "Codi de registre no vàlid. Necessites saber el codi de registre per donar-te d'alta en aquest lloc web" (catalan)-> Register code not valid. You need to know the register code to register in this web site" (approx)

Tryied three times with different browsers and users names (and double cheking the passcode to register): same effect.

When I toggle off the "Request passcode to register:", then everything works fine.

__Example 2:__ (mlpvolt)
Request password to enter = on
User tracker (for registration) = on
...initial screen of choose name, enter password and email works.
...second screen with user tracker info fails on submit.

When trackers are used for contact forms, they are sometimes spammed.

update by xavidp (Oct 4th 2008): using Tiki 2.1, feb12.css and trackers with mirror tables, an anonymous can insert a tracker item without filling the antibot captcha.
You can test it live on:
http://moviments.net/tracker15

All fields are text except for "correu electrònic a moviments.net" which has to be "e-mail"-type.

Help!
The locations drop down menu in my Tiki calendar does not sync with the database.
As I'm new to Tikiwiki, how on earth do I fix this short of dropping the table and re-entering the data?
Thanks for your time.

Please see:
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_blog_post.php?blogId=2&postId=343

This tracker item could not be found

This tracker item could not be found

Comments can be used on wiki pages, blog posts, etc

There is Spam protection (CATPCHA) but nothing against trolls.

A comment moderation feature would be nice.

I need to see the information about the last modification of files on the File Gallery. Date and User.

two more columns are needed in tiki-list_file_gallery.php. Last modified, User. I don't know if more mysql field are required.

An anonymous user without edit permissions can edit create a new page.

To Repeat:
1. Be logged into a user with no edit permisssions
2. Find a red ? link to an uncreated page.
3. Click the link
4. Note you don't have permission to edit/create the page.

5. Log out
6. Click the red ? link as Anonymous
7. Note you can edit the new page
8. Save the page - Note the error:

An error occured in a database query!

Context:
File tiki-editpage.php
Url tiki-editpage.php
Query:
insert into `tiki_user_watches`(`user`,`event`,`object`,`email`,`type`,`title`,`url`) values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?)
Values:
0 NULL
1 wiki_page_changed
2 LinkToLocPageFigs
3 NULL
4 wiki page
5 LinkToLocPageFigs
6 tiki-index.php?page=LinkToLocPageFigs
Message:
Column 'user' cannot be null
Built query was probably:
insert into `tiki_user_watches`(`user`,`event`,`object`,`email`,`type`,`title`,`url`) values(NULL,'wiki_page_changed','LinkToLocPageFigs',NULL,'wiki page','LinkToLocPageFigs','tiki-index.php?page=LinkToLocPageFigs')


9. Take note that though the error happened, the page was created.

If a user uses CTRL-Z on a page that they are editing to undo a change, they will break all internal wiki links on the page on the next save.
This appears to only happen when editing with firefox.

This script does not work with http servers that run under UNcommon user ID/GID. There is one good http server example in the Debian repos called yaws where the script becomes a problem. yaws runs under user ID/GID yaws/yaws. If one attempts to run setup.sh with a yaws http server, the script does not work.

1.Clicking on "Admin mods" after installation returns this error.
You need to run setup.sh :
./setup.sh $APACHEUSER all
Common Apache users are www-data, apache or nobody

2. Going to the command line and running setup.sh yaws all (because the username/gid is yaws, not the usual) returns no messages when in fact the script has already decided that the user will be www-data because I'm on Debian. About line 27 of the script. if [ -f /etc/debian_version]; ....

There's no message that says how the ownership has been changed after running the script. There's no message saying the user has been chosen for me because I'm on Debian either. In both cases, I'd still have problems because the userID/GID needs to be yaws/yaws in order to make tikiwiki work right.

Perhaps another way to address the problem is to check and see who owns the server process with an lsof -p :portNumber?

When someone clears the statistics on a given survey (or poll), the tiki_survey* tables are cleared accordingly but the statistics of the users vote are left.

It means that when someone wishes to "recycle" an existing survey by clearing the statistics, changes the questions (even adding new ones), then the users who have already answered to old survey cannot vote for the new "recycled" survey as if he/she already answered it.

The problem also exists when a survey or poll is deleted : lines in tiki_user_votings which shows who has voted on what are left which has clearly no consequence since the id should not be reuse.

On clean installs (empty databases) of TW 1.10 and 1.9.11 (also tested and confirmed on the clean 1.9.11 install on opensourcecms.com).
After users (perms tiki_p_create_blogs and tiki_p_blog_post enabled)create a blog they can proceed to post to any other user's blog. More precisely, on the post blog page, a user can select all blogs from the "Blog" field

When a new user registered with anti-bot and user tracker for more user information getting error message that registration code is invalid.

Here are steps to reproduce the problem.

1) Setup user information tracker with couple of fields.
2) Go to registration page
3) Enter registration details and click 'register'
4) This will take you to new screen where user tracker information needs to be filled.
5) Once you fill the user tracker information and click 'Save'
6) You will get error message that registration code is invalid

The edit button (and switch to wysiwyg) link to nowhere (except back to homepage.)

This appears to be an ajax related problem many buttons/links do not work.

verified on my site and 110.tikiwiki.org

edit button links to:
http://sitename.com/#


switch to wysiwyg does not work, navigation buttons in list-pages,

I have a tracker with 80 items and one with 200 items. Latest code from SVN (updated 6/24).

Pagination fails completely - sometimes page 3 works, sometimes it doesn't. Page 2 fails all the time (that is - no movement)


This is with ajax on: firebug reports POST:
xajax=loadComponent&xajaxr=1214318443517&xajaxargs[]=tiki-view_tracker.tpl&xajaxargs[]=tiki-center

Even thought the param for offset is right, the data returned is always the same page I just sent.

As a result, nothing happens! Is there a way to turn ajax off in trackers only?

Without Ajax, the page changes, and if I manually put the URL in with the right offset, it goes to the right page

More details-
The error appears to be tied to the "insert new item" tab of a linked item.

IE reports an XML error, as does Firefox. The firefox console says this:
Error: not well-formed
Source File: http://www.casesofinterest.com/tiki/tiki-view_tracker.php?trackerId=8&offset=10
Line: 606, Column: 46
Source Code:
<option value="Technology and the Demand for Skill - An Analysis of Within an

The green arrow points to between the S and k in "Skill". Note the extra space - none appears in the linked field.

Even when I got rid of that item, AJAX pagination fails, but this time without a console error. What happens is that the window doesn't resize, and I get a "windowWidth is not defined" error, and the tabs never form.

After creating a new blogpost and saving it, the post shows a lot of empty lines at the beginning of the post.
Looking at the html result, there are about 9 <br/> entries before the actual text.

The branch is downloaded on wednesday, 25th of June 2008 8AM GMT.

A 1.10b1 release of about a month ago did not show this behaviour.

Tikiwiki HTML Purifier version is 2.1.3.
Current version is 3.1.1 or 2.1.5.

There is risk of security attacks if not updated.

page 1/1 can stay (although some could prefer nothing instead), but the "1" below should be removed.

Since upgrading dev.tikiwiki.org the "submitted by" is not recorded in bug reports

Can not reproduce the problem. Can you give an url ?
This url http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php is working for me

This is best explained with an example:

~pp~
Paragraphs are parsed

just fine here

{TAG(tag=ul)}foo{TAG}

but now

paragraphs and

line breaks aren't working!
~/pp~

This only happens for tag=ul, not even for tag=ol.

This happens regardless whether wiki paragraph formatting is enabled and regardless of whatever is inside the ~np~{TAG(tag=ul)}~/np~, even ~np~{TAG(tag=li)}~/np~'s.

Problem 1:
I created a Wiki page containing the following:

{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()} {THUMB(id=5)}{THUMB} {CODE}

If I select Preview while in edit mode, the thumbnail is displayed, and placing the mouse cursor over thumbnail displays the fullsize image. After the page is saved and displayed, moving the mouse cursor over the thumbnail does not display the fullsize image.

Problem 2:
I created a Wiki page containing the following:

{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()} {THUMB(image=>img/wiki_up/someimage.jpg)}{THUMB}
{THUMB(id=5)}{THUMB} {CODE}

If I select Preview while in edit mode and move the cursor over the first thumbnail, no fullsize image is displayed. If I move the cursor over the second thumbnail, the fullsize image corresponding to the second thumbnail is displayed. If I then move the cursor back over the first thumbnail, the fullsize image corresponding to the second thumbnail is displayed.

I think $exatvalue maybe should be $exactvalue

[r@s tw]# grep -nR exatv *
lib/wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_trackerlist.php:262: $exatvalue = array($exactvalue, $user);

[r@s tw]# head lib/wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_trackerlist.php
