On a file gallery description if you copy/paste or insert an emojis from your mobile on save you’ll lost your edit and get a error 500.

You can't assign an empty category to the tracker category type field. This would come very handy in connection with the Autocheck-feature I RFEd before..

Top
|
|---1 Stuff

|---2 More Stuff

If you for example assign parentId=1, then you don't get a Checkbox with Stuff, but you get two boxes with Stuff and More Stuff - Tiki jumps back to the higher level, that's not empty.

__''Announcing the first ever TikiFest in New York City being held from January 14-18, 2010!''__

TikiFestNY is a big bug squash! The idea is to knock out as many bugs as possible and have as much fun as possible doing it. If a bug takes more than 30 minutes to fix, then we move on to the next one. Also, invites will be going out locally for an introduction to Tiki presentation on Saturday afternoon followed by refreshments. Hope lots of people can make it! Remote participation is also possible for those that can't. Find complete information at TikiFestNY.

Empty screen after select date range in __Admin/Action log__ and pressing __report__. Logging on __Action Log__ settings page set up correctly. I have tried different data ranges and selecting different users and groups and it combination. The result the same. Pressing __export__ instead __report__ also produces empty screen.

To keep the whole (responsive) table in view in large displays, a CSS rule was added to break words (and other character strings like multi-digit numbers) anywhere in the string. This does help to narrow the table, but also makes content readability much worse in some cases. If a solution better than "word-break:break-all" can't be found, I would at least like it to be optional (a Look and Feel preference) so site admins who prefer better typography in scrolling tables can have that option.

This is the ((Tracking system for Tiki issues)).
If this is your first time, please read: ((How to Submit a new item on the Wishlist))

This would permit cleaner URLs and easier searching.

__Where?__

Wiki page names
Usernames
tags?
etc.

__What?__
Spaces & underscore to be equivalents
a and A are equivalent. This makes perfect sense for page names, user names, etc Accented characters (äâ) should be as well

For wiki page names (see how Wikipedia does it) but it could be that ~np~((User_Profile)), ((User+Profile)) and ((User Profile))~/np~ are equivalent.


Should hyphen (-) be an equivalent character as well?

How about (,) and (.)

. doesn't play nice with rewrite rules

Just downloaded 12.o.beta from SourceForge following Jonny's Tiki-devel email of Fri. 22 Nov 2013. Unpacked fine (using zip file). ran "sh setup.sh" going through three standard steps, (c) composer, (f) fix and (x) exit, smoothly.
Started up, automatically switched to install. Went through all steps smoothly.
Entered tiki.
Went through Wizzard. Getting better and smoother all the time; congrats all who are working to make this better.

Before logging off as admin from every new Tiki I create, I always create myself a new user. Did so again this time, and get an annoying (and confusing) error message:
---
__Error(s): No index available.__
---
directly above the information:
"Notice: Account validated successfully.
Information
Account validated successfully. "

The only option provided is in the upper right, to "clear errors".
---
For the record, during the Admin Wizard, I did NOT chose the "Basic Search" but the "Advanced Search" with "MySQL Full-Text Search as my "Unified Search Engine" and "Incremental Index Update".

I think this is just a small annoyance, but can see how this confuses and worries a new user/admin.

When I try to set permissions for galleries or other objects manually, I get an error.

See [http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?topics_offset=10&topics_sort_mode=lastPost_desc&forumId=4&comments_parentId=22138|Forum Link] for an other post and a screenshot of the error.

When editing a wiki page using the FCKEditor, trying to upload an image gives problems. I receive a successful upload message, and when browseing the server at /domain.org/img/wiki_up/image.gif get an error message which states,
"Error creating folder /home/jsullinger/domain.org/html/mytiki2/mytiki2/img/image/, permission denied". Permissions on folder are chmod 777."

I checked some of the previous trackers, and it looks like perhaps it is felt this issue has been fixed? This is a very important feature with respect to WYSIWYG editor, and would be greatly appreciated if this could be looked at. Let me know what additional information you need.

After applying a profile in 20.x, plenty of ugly error message notices are shown, regarding inability to create plenty of cache files:

Things like:

Very bad image for any one testing a brand new tiki site, and clicking for instance at any of the featured profiles.

at the pages in dev.tiki.org I often get an error in chrome.

On Tiki19
Last update from SVN (19.0svn): Thursday September 27, 2018 12:59:03 IDT - REV 67702 (InnoDB)

I create a first tracker after enabling the feature.

It show the following error:
Field tracker_id does not exist in the current index. If this is a tracker field, the proper syntax is tracker_field_tracker_id.

It shouldn’t show and error.
Eventually an info about re-indexing but would be better to do the job (first tracker is likely to be done by a new guy).

On this page:

/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=15&forumId=1

The previous topic link produces this url:

/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=12&topics_offset=-1

This page is a Error Page.

This page also gets indexed by google and is crawled by bots.

I have added a line to my robots.txt to tell google bots not to include it in there indexing

Disallow: /*topics_offset=-1

Thanks, for considering addressing this. Really appreciate tiki.

This error message is from Tracker Mathematical Calculations.

This warning keeps popping up - can the warning be eliminated? Or, if I am incorrect and my mathematical calculation should instead be corrected, please advise.

{CODE(colors="tiki")}(round(div(div(date (sub futureDate (date)))60)60)1){CODE}

See more notes I added in the 'Forums' here - https://tiki.org/forumthread75298--Divide-by-Zero-warning

This is important because Tiki 21x is the latest LTS.

Adding Jonny and Victor as it seems you both tried to correct the issue.

thanks,
Mike

error when uploading files with accented names in batch directory in File Gallery

If you use Directory Batch upload of files, if files have particular language characters like "á" then it shows an error on the report for those files.

It works well with other file names that do not use this type of characters.

Settings are:

Uploading to directory ON

I was doing some changes in the tiki.org look and feel => custom css field on one save I got this:

{img fileId="1279" thumb="box"}

The field was emptied, I turned totally green and was ready to jump out of the window ! By change (as I had many unsaved work while using "save as minor") I had the content pasted in a text editor by security and could restore. (lost time)

Seems we have some preg backtrack limitation (http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-last-error.php)

I could get over it by shorting (shorthand?) a background style, but one day someone else...

When I edit and try to save a page when logged in as an administrator, I get the error "A contribution is mandatory" and it will not save. Registered users and all others cannot save edits either. We're only using the wiki feature and the files feature, so this makes it pretty useless if we can't edit it.

This error occurred in the previous version as well, but has carried over to the new version.

This apparently edited a previous report and will not allow me to change the selections. I'm now on 4x and it's a Wiki problem, not a File Gallery problem. I can't seem to submit a new report; it keeps editing an old report. So there's a problem with the Bug Report system.

dev.tiki.org is not very usable with unstable Elasticsearch :(

Scenario: Estimating a line formula Y = mX + c

Steps:
1. Create a spreadsheet.
2. In cells A1, B1, type in some numerical values, e.g.: 2.53 and 32.785 We will use them for constants m, c.
Note: can be any other value.
3. In column A, type in some (5) numerical values, starting row A2 to A6
4. In cell B2, type the formula "=$A$1*A2+$B$1" without the quotes. Then press Enter.
You should get the value of the equation.
5. Next try to replicate the formula in cell B2, by dragging the small square icon at the bottom-right corner of the cell (like you would do in Excel spreadsheet). Drag till B6.
6. Formula should be replicated and numerical values should show.

Error 1:
You get error message in the cell: Error: Parse error ... ----^Expecting '('

Error 2:
The cells to be replicated by dragging the formula have incorrect formula of type "=ANaN*B3+ANaN"
Edit --> Undo does not work. The error values in the cells cannot be removed by click on Edit --> Undo

This is a major drawback of the Spreadsheet feature. Reduces considerably, the usability of this important feature.

When you are on a page of a wiki structure, you can click on the print icon, but you will only print that single page.

The icon and option to "__print this page and all the subpages__" (= in the the sub-structure) right from there (without going through all the clicks at "Wiki > multiprint > select structure > print") would be very welcome, since the base feature to rpint the full structure exists.

From the home of the structure, it would print the full structure (as it can be done with one click from a structure within a Workspace through ((doc:AulaWiki)) mod, or through many clicks as usual, as explained above).

If the user is on a subpage of the structure, that button would print that page and all subpages from the same structure.

Does it make sense?

Hi,

I think there is a usability bug when the option "Re-validate user by email after unsuccessful logins" is selected.
After x unsuccessful logins, the user gets an email with a link like :

http://www.mydomain.com/tiki/tiki-confirm_user_email.php?user=xxxxxxx&pass=yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

When following this link, the user gets the message: "This feature is disabled". Nothing is clear on what to do next, if one's account is still valid or not, and how to change one's password if forgotten.

Tikiwiki version used: 2.2
Options selected:
* Crypt password method: crypt-md5
* Validate users by emails: yes
* Registered Users can change password : yes
* Re-validate user by email after unsuccessful logins: 3
