Category: 23.x

On A tiki23 I have a user tracker.
Then I have a second tracker with an itemLink for where I can select one or several users.

In a customSearch I can't find any of them.
Here an instance http://bsfez-11581-7848.show2.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=HomePage#User_list_in_customSearch

When assigning permissions at tiki.org, when there is a large number of groups, the labels on the permissions (rows) are at the far right side of the table which needs to be scrolled to bring the labels into view. Maybe it would be good to put the labels on the left side as well as the right side of the table.

When you have a diagram in a wiki page (made with ((doc:PluginDiagram)) ), if you have permission to edit it, you see a link to "Edit Diagram" at the bottom right corner of the diagram displayed in the wiki page.

When you show that page content through ((doc:PluginSlideshow)), then you expect tiki to hide those links to edit wiki sections, edit plugins inline, etc. (which work well, they are hidden in the slideshow), but the diagram still shows the label and link to "Edit Diagram", and it should be hidden when you are inside the presentation.

Issue still confirmed in 24.x

tiki-listpages.php is showing page's entry twice

TestPage 0 13:24 admin 1
HomePage 0 13:24 admin 2
TestPage 0 13:24 admin 1
HomePage 0 13:24 admin 2

The function -+\UsersLib::assign_user_to_group+- currently does not log the group joining event (or leaving).

It should.

See other missing log events on the related wish.

I’m looking for a developer to implement in Tiki23 (master) more ways to login than just email. I would like to have a Facebook login (was working once) and a Google login (using google account).

We have actually the logo module with several preferences and parameters:
http://doc.tiki.org/Module-logo

We have also the look and feel related section (logo):
http://doc.tiki.org/General-Layout-Options#contentlook_generallayout-1

We need to merge those:
* On the look and feel section it says for years (before Tiki 12) that it will be merged.
* Some parameters seems already used by both
* Some parameters are here and not there (site icon which is needed for bootstrap layout - brand image)
* ...

I t is important as it is one of the first settings visited by new users.

There is no visible limit about the length of the description field in Tiki for the user.
However this field is limited and if you go over the limit you will have a white page when saving your work potentially losing your last edit.

It is an important bug (edit may be lost) on a popular feature (wiki page) and require an easy fix (real limit of text + small warning".
it should be fixed asap.

UPDATE:The value of the length accepted by the field in the database is 200 characters.

mpdf seems to faill to include images in the generated pdf file when you use:
* some self-signed https certificate, or
* a valid one but issued from a certification agency (like from a local public administration, in our case at work) which is not recognized by your browser by default unless you import a specific authority file in the right place (and I don't know how to do that for mpdf).

I wish there was some way to tell mpdf to avoid checking https certificate validity, like the option you can have in many other programs (wget, curl, git, ...). If that is possible, then a new option should be added in Tiki UI to let the tiki site admin enable it in those known use cases in which you need that feature.

As an example, that would have allowed to use mpdf successfully in the last couple of years at work. And we still can't use it normally due to this issue.

I use ElasticSearch on a Tiki 22 and I have a weird error while browsing file gallery (in English).

{CODE()}Error
• Malformed search query: Parsing search query failed: "Field name does not exist in the current index. If this is a tracker field, the proper syntax is tracker_field_name."
{CODE}

Reproduced on local:
{img fileId="1568" thumb="box"}


I could track the error feedback that is generated from "lib/core/Search/Elastic/OrderBuilder.php" line 81.

Something in the condition : if ((empty($mapping) || empty((array)$mapping)) && $prefs['search_error_missing_field'] === 'y') {

Initiate the feedback.

It happened also while I was updating a field (f_174) using the tracker interface inline. (in Hebrew)
The field is a dropdown field type.
The field exist and the change was saved.

''Now it keep showing each time I do anything on tracker, even listing them all.''


Still there on Tiki23:

I assigned the module "user bookmarks" using the module plugin in a wiki page like ~np~{module module="user_bookmarks"}~/np~ but instead of the expected bookmarks interface, there is an error message: 'Failed to execute "user_bookmarks" module
Missing dependencies'.

Maybe this will be easy for a new developer to fix.

Same issue.{sign user="xavi" datetime="2022-01-22T23:32:38+00:00"}

mpdf fails to print the output from PluginGanttChart
You can see it reproduced when you attempt to produce the PDF (by means of Tiki PDF option, using mpdf in the backend) from a wiki page showing the results on a sample Gantt Chart, such as the one reproduced in doc.t.o:
https://doc.tiki.org/Sample-Gantt-Chart

See what a local PDF printer (CUPS based, on linux, thorugh Firefox) produces:
{img fileId="1644" thumb="box"}

See what mpdf produces:
{img fileId="1645" thumb="box"}

Maybe this could be solved by firing casperjs in order to get at least some look & feel of the output from that gantt chart?
Clicking at the "print" icon in the toolbar from the plugin ganttchart itself seems to display something similar

Reproduced in branch 24.x here:

some images are printed, but some others are not, and they seem to need to have no other params params than the minimum, however, using standard syntax from a brand new tiki site embeds wiki pages with a syntax that mpdf is not able to make it just work, and images are not shown in the pdf produced.

Reproduced here:

(you can produce the pdf by yourself there)

Update: {sign user="xavi" datetime="2018-06-21T11:04:30+00:00"}
In a production server in our work, no images are shown in the pdf at all, with neither syntax. Is there any log file with potential information on why no images are shown in the pdf produced by mpdf?
I confirm that we have php7.0.* and php modules gd, & mbstring installed server side.

I removed "19.x" categorization because branch 19 doesn't exist yet. The category "regression from version 18 to 19" is accurate here and already assigned. {sign user="chibaguy" datetime="2018-07-12T07:46:41+00:00"}

* replacing that old syntax with new and valid syntax (? intead of &) still yields some broken images in the pdf produced by mpdf. I granted access to amnabilal to a server where she can reproduce. I didn't hear any more feedback from her about it, but I confirm that this issue still exists in several servers of mine, with different setups.{sign user="xavi" datetime="2018-07-24T23:02:41+00:00"}

In that page, there is an internal wiki link to HomePage:

((HomePage))
{CODE}

The user would expect to have that link converted in the pdf as a link to:
http://xavi-9794-6688.show2.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=HomePage

but it's not converted to any link, it's just shown as simple standard text (with no indication that it refers to another page in that tiki site)

See the pdf produced by mpdf for instance here:
{file type="gallery" fileId="1563" showicon="y"} (using trunk from august 2021, r78798)
{file type="gallery" fileId="1706" showicon="y"} (using branch 24.x Jan 2022, r79594)

On Tiki23, Tiki24 and master there is a regression as the user preferences "Language" is "forced" by default to French.

On a new installation ===as soon=== as I enable Multilingual features the tiki displays in French. (the other options like default language are still on English).

{img fileId="1707" thumb="box"}
{img fileId="1708" thumb="box"}

It seems the user preferences are set by default with the French language and are taking over even if I didn't set anything.

{img fileId="1709" thumb="box"}

It is also possible as the option "Users can choose the language of their interface" that is enable by default (even if multilingual is disable) BUT this setting is not accessible for the user as "User preferences screen " is disable by default. They are needed together !
If "Users can choose the language of their interface" then obviously they should be able to do it (User preferences screen should be enable) else they will be stuck with a possible language selection they can't change. (like what we have now).

To reproduce:


Make a super long wiki page using:

((my super duper long extra long wiki page name the never ends because it can be difficult to find the right words sometimes and some people may be tempted to just throw in a very large number of keywords in a wiki page name and hope that it will help with search engine indexing))

The wiki page offers a question mark to create the new page but TikiWiki is unable to create a page that size so it truncates to 160 characters: ((my super duper long extra long wiki page name the never ends because it can be difficult to find the right words sometimes and some people may be tempted to jus))


A nicer error message would be nice

On Tiki23 at tiki-admin.php?page=articles I discovered a feature I didn’t knew exist (is it new and went under "my" radar ?)

I was about to think about an accordion to hide the BIG top search area that is eating the top part of the screen. ????

^
"Use new articles"
Use the new CustomSearch-based article lists rather than database information
^

The feature naming should be improved. ;-)

Look an awesome start but I found some issues
* Garbage in search field added depending on background color
* Author is not properly populated
* Article_content (?) return not found

See the screenshot
{img fileId="1572" thumb="box"}

May be it is a kind of work in progress ?
I see an interest for people to customise the template.
The path of the template OR some help to customise it mytheme/templates/articleCustomsearch should be added in the feature tooltip.

In Tiki23 a new dropdown was added to improve the UX and action selection.
Something nice BUT once you upgrade it will resets the previous and existing scheduled tasks without warning.

See : https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/commit/a77af6f7da9f41e647de91693d8f0edbe0110616

New unified Admin Backend should work properly with RTL languages

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
In Tiki newsletters, it is possible to subscribe a group (excellent)
It is also possible for individuals to unsubscribe from a newsletter without leaving the group (excellent)

However, newsletter admins do not have access to this list. They should know who left the list and should be able to administer this "exception" list.

I've followed the doc page to setup record rtc in tiki23 on a linux box (thanks for the documentation)
https://doc.tiki.org/Record-screen-audio-video

I can't succeed at my attempt to use Record RTC since the wiki page gets self-refreshed each time I click at the button to "Start Recording" before I can accept the firefox popup that asks me to grant perm to this page to record/use media or something (I can't read the message properly since the page is self-reloaded too quickly)

I have a valid https now (It was an invalid https in my first attemps)

Reproduced here in dev.t.o

The Tiki default captcha image for anonymous to register, post a comment, etc doesn’t displays numbers anymore forbidding actions to be completed.

I saw this on a Tiki23 production I have and on nextdoc:

Or else, new ones are added at the bottom and it looks bad.
