Category: 1.9.x

Although the RFC (for example, [http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots-rfc.html]) doesn't explicitly require a leading slash (/) before the page name, I have found that, as of late Oct, 2005, many 'bots, including Googlebots, have started requiring them.

For example, before the change,

Disallow: tiki-pagehistory.php

would prevent well-behaved 'bots from trying to index tiki-pagehistory.php. However, after the change, I had to have:

Disallow: /tiki-pagehistory.php

in robots.txt, or else all my page history would be indexed! I verified this using my server log, and also by doing google searches against my site for phrases that only appeared in page history. I have every reason to believe this is a problem for all other TikiWiki-based sites.

Others have noticed this. There is discussion in the forums at:
* [http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=13666&forumId=4|Googlebot ignoring robots.txt] -- includes a __graph of my bandwidth usage before and after__.
* [http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?topics_offset=1&forumId=4&comments_parentId=12342|Adding <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"> to History pages]
* [http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?topics_offset=1&forumId=4&comments_parentId=15004|Yahoo search indexes Print pages instead of Read pages]

The robots.txt in the current distro (1.9.x Sirius) contains

Disallow: tiki-print.php

Should it not also contain

Disallow: tiki-print_article.php
Disallow: tiki-print_blog_post.php
Disallow: tiki-print_multi_pages.php
Disallow: tiki-print_pages.php

Tiki offers all RSS Feeds for individual and all items of a feature. Like:

RSS Feed for all Blogs
RSS Feed for individual Blogs

This is not the case for Trackers as far as I can see - at least from Admin -> RSS

BRANCH-1-9 is not working
http://themes.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=rssaggregator

HEAD is maybe working.

If Tikiwiki 1.9.4 or 1.9.5 is installed in the wwwroot of a "real" subdomain that resides on its own (win)server (not an alias to a subfolder under the main-domain), then rsslib.php inserts an additional backslash after the domain-name.

Links of rss-feed then look like: ~~#FF0000: sub.domain.com\/tiki... ~~ and RSS feed gets obviously broken.

As a quick-fix for my site I resolved this in the file rsslib.php by deleting the string:
~~#FF0000: ~np~ .dirname( $urlarray["path"] ) ~/np~ ~~
in the variables:
~~#FF0000: $home, $img, $read, $cssStyleSheet, and $xslStyleSheet ~~
in order to get RSS-2.0 to work again.

Unfortunately I'm not any more a coder and don't know php good enough to fix this for everybody and contribute in the CVS (I did no more coding since turbo-pascal under DOS in the mid 90's, but at least still can read a little bit :-)

all the best,
Felix

PS: Thanks everybody here for this great software!!!

RSS feed for articles is last 10 articles published with title, date & time, description & link.

RSS feed for calendar will be upcoming 10 events with title, date & time, description & link.

Nice to have: permission checking to make sure feed only contains events visible by anonymous.

An example:
http://facil.qc.ca/cal/rss.php


2006-04-11: It's partially done:
http://repex.qc.ca/tiki-calendars_rss.php?ver=2

Only some of the events are shown, but not all.

Please make sur it's included to tiki-bot_bar.tpl & header.tpl for all styles.

Attempting to View the RSS feed of a page that is running 1.9.0 in a subdirectory results in the error:

The XML page cannot be displayed



It seems to me as though TikiWiki has a number of inconsitencies with the way in which it manages paths, which cause some problems for sites running in subdirectories, the newsletter subscribe url for example uses parse_url to get the path (eg /tikiwiki/) then prepends the httpprefix, whereas the RSS module just appends httpprefix, so in other words these modules expect different thing from the httpprefix function the RSS module want http://mydomain.net/tikiwiki/ whereas the newsletter module just wants http://mydomain.net

We have RSS feeds for many features.

maps RSS feeds are OK

Using 1.9.cvs

RSS of an individual tracker, such as [http://www.moviments.net/valldelcorb/tiki-tracker_rss.php?trackerId=2] , produces

^
" Tiki RSS Feed Error Message: Permission denied to access this section"^ (translated from another laguage)

I'm doing that even as site user admin.

What's wrong?

The tick in admin > rss is on for all lines (including individual trackers)

RSS feed for the wiki now links to the last 10 pages changed. And no text is provided in the RSS feed. So, we click the link and we are provided with little clue of what changed. We then need to click history. Why these extra steps?

It would be much more logical to provide the diff text in the RSS feed. (instead of nothing)

Ex.:
- John has a lamb
+ Mary has a lamb

Also, the URL should link to a nice diff version instead of the page.

Ex.:
tiki-pagehistory.php?page=HomePage&compare=1&oldver=19&newver=20&diff_style=minsidediff

Therefore, we can see basic changes just with RSS and if we click we get the nice colored minsidediff

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
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.

The RSS feeds seem to have no permission checking. The feeds should only include information that is available to Anonymous.

All users scores stay at 0 - nothing happens.

Score feature activated, scores entered.

I rated this that high, because it's imho a completely broken feature like this - please correct priority, if I overlooked something!!

You can see it not work here (latest BRANCH-1-9):
http://themes.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php

You need to be logged in to see the module "users_rank" with everyone at 0.

Two users received the following error when trying to access a blog for which they have permissions in TW v1.9.8.3:
---
__An error occurred in a database query!__
Context:
File tiki-view_blog.php
Url tiki-view_blog.php?blogId=2
Query:
insert into 'tiki_users_score' ('user','event_id','expire') values (?,?,?)
Values:
0 [redacted username of blog creator]
1 blog_is_read_[redacted username of bug victim]:2
2 1200929940
Message:
Error Message Duplicate entry '[redacted blog creator]-blog_is_read_[redacted bug victim]' for key 1
---

No other users (~60) reported this error. The two affected users reported that other blogs were accessible.

~~#FF0000:__When Scoring was turned off, this error did not repeat until Scoring was turned back on.__~~

lib/tikilib and lib/score/scorelib.php functions send no timestamp argument to tiki_users_score isert queries. This results in query failure because tiki_users_score tstamp column in Tiki 1.9 distrib. contains a 'not null' constraint.

---


The following PostGres query sets the default timestamp of tiki_users_score alter column tstamp to 'now', which ensures against attempted insertion of NULL values from the tiki codebase:

alter table tiki_users_score alter column tstamp set default now();

This tracker item could not be found

Currently search displays markup code in results... Could there be an option to filter out parsed code? Code between ~np~ and ~pp~ tags however, is part of the desired search content (but should still remain unparsed).

Thank you,

Fulltext search doesn't result all pages where the word is on.

For example search for the word "vodafone" without the quotes, results only 2 pages where it should be 3 or more.

We allready tryied to make a full rebuild and also teted it with word_len = 2.

Thanks for help in advance, any questions... let me knoe.

If you do a search with key word 'BS' it will hightlight all BS in the page, including   it actually mesh up the whole display.

I guess the hightlighter should exclude some words such as those &xxxx;

Using both search modules search_box and search_new my Tiki returns different results.

The results are identical if the search string has only English characters (standard ASCII).

Search_box returns more results than Search_new if the search string contains Greek characters (upper ASCII).

Search_new also highlights only "English" search strings.

I wish seaching Greek tokens and getting all possible results and highlighted too.
