Email notification is fine.

A CSV file may use different delimiters (commas, semicolons, tabs) and they are used to separate values.
Depending the application you use it your field will be delimited by one of them.

In the Tracker Import-Export feature (was tabular) if you try to import a CSV file were the delimiter is not a comma "," it will produce an error the "firstfieldlabel" is not found. (or something similar).

It should accept any of the 3 delimiters that are legit OR the error should said, Tiki accept only comma "," for delimiter of a CSV file.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
In Tiki it is possible for an admin to create a tracker field using an already existing permaname.

This leads to issues for the Unified-Index and search engine.
A recent commit help with the situation : https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/commit/0ce941f18262d0c01da0d6966c3349d2f56f7e06

However the tracker creation process for such tracker field should include a check and warn, and evantually disallow, the user from creating such field.

Tiki tabs are a nifty feature to make a page cleaner / simpler.

For example for trackers, we have:

View / Comments / Attachments/ Edit

However, I want to be able to link directly to "edit" so someone could be invited to edit their user tracker or add a bug or add a calendar item.

I would like something like this:
tiki-view_tracker_item.php?trackerId=5&itemId=978#view
tiki-view_tracker_item.php?trackerId=5&itemId=978#edit


There seems to be the start of something:
http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=980&show=edit

Tiki offers a data type "email adress". This does basic syntax checking. Actually, it is VERY basic. It only checks is there is an at sign (@) in the string. A little bit more might be wished for, in order to reduce spam and clutter from anonymous users.

IMHO it should also be checked if a domain name is entered. So it should be detected whether there is a full stop after the at sign, and at minimum one letter before and after the full stop.

Now Tiki accepts a@b, IMHO it should at least check whether it is a@b.c (I would not recommend to check acutal TLDs, because they change too often nowadays.

Tiki trackers are great for a bug tracker, as we are dogfooding here.

But what about for a "help desk" setting? -> Private requests from many customers to one company.

Imagine a hosting company. They may have public forums & trackers. But they also have a place where customers can ask direct support requests. And only the customer and the company can follow this tracker.

There is a way for people to just modify their own tracker. But this is more for a user profile, than a series of support requests.
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page_ref_id=3204

You can also give permission to add a tracker item but not view. But they can't modify existing tracker items. (like sending in a black hole)

If we want people to submit many tracker items, but only see/edit their own, what should we do?

Currently, there is and option "Item creator can modify his items?" at tiki-admin_trackers.php

Maybe we need one: Only item creator can view his items?" Of course, staff working for the company would be admins and could see the trackers for all companies.

Or there could be login drop-down, and only that user can see. Even nicer would be that it's possible for people of the same group to see.

Maybe this possible with the current feature set. In which case, just documentation is necessary.

Some things to experiment:
"My items" in tiki-my_tiki.php

Current workaround is to make a tracker for each customer.

Please see: ((Issue Tracker))

A screencast ...

{flash type="url" movie="display432" width="1472" height="827"}

If user watches activated (for all), any user is able to "watch" a tracker, so that he/she will receive an e-mail message with all the information from the tracker item, even if some field were declared as "hidden"... (sensitive info).

I already reported this at sf.net for 1.8 trackers. And I seem to see the same problem nowadays with Tiki 1.9....
This should be fixed for privacy of sensitive information collected through Trackers/forms

Users have a link (list trackers) to tiki-list_trackers.php on tiki-view_tracker_item.php and tiki-view_tracker.php

However, if some of the trackers are restricted, users get an error message instead of getting the list of trackers to which they have access.

FYI, there is no machine learning category in the Feature drop down of this report form.
Anyhow I enabled machine learning in the control panel.
After clicking machine learning then list models in the from the system model

I get a 404 error as shown in the image here.

Using 1.9.7cvs from mid june 2007

I have an item in a tracker with the word "Carxoferes" in the tracker item title.
http://www.moviments.net/valldelcorb/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=15&show=view&offset=0&reloff=7&status=o&trackerId=2&sort_mode=lastModif_asc

In the search_new module, trackers doesn't show up in the dropdown box. However, if you search for the Word "Carxoferes" (without double quoting marks), the word "trackers" is listed below search results:
http://www.moviments.net/valldelcorb/tiki-searchindex.php?highlight=Carxoferes&where=trackers&search=go

So is it really searching (or attempting to search) within tracker items?
But anyway, the result is unsuccessful: no pages matches your criteria.

Search in:
__All Wiki galleries images files forums blogs blog posts directory articles trackers__


Found "Carxoferes" in 0 trackers

And it should show the tracker item containing that word.

Confirmed that the same behavior is happening in 1.10cvs (from July 24th). Checked at:
[http://moviments.net/intercanvis/tracker2]
Adding a new item with the word "senzilles". If I search that word under the tiki search_new module, I can't find it. If I search through Trackers interface directly, I do find it.
----
Update2: using ((doc:Module search_box)) I can find it! (real time indexation works then)

Fixed on 1.10cvs. Not sure on 1.9cvs (I couldn't check with latest code). As far as I'm concerned, I leave this bug ask closed. (reopen if you test on 1.9.cvs and it fails)

OLD DESCRIPTION: When editing a tracker textarea with quicktags enabled, the quicktags field shows quicktags for map-editing.

PROBLEM REPHRASED: All Quicktags are shown, when editing tracker items. You can see that e.g. the IMG-quicktag is there twice.

I tried adding the img quicktag with feature "tracker" to tiki_quicktags, but then it was shown trice (triple? - no!), well, three times! ;)

Please see: ((Federated Timesheets))

On a tracker I have a date and time field.
I can export items and see the format;

{CODE()}
"itemId","status","created","lastModif","Date -- 10","Room -- 11"
"6","o"," 2018-11-20 13:07"," 2018-11-20 13:07","2018-11-20 14:00","Poupons"
"7","o"," 2018-11-20 13:07"," 2018-11-20 13:07","2018-11-20 16:00","Poupons"
"8","o"," 2018-11-20 13:08"," 2018-11-20 13:08","2018-11-20 14:00","2-5 ans"
"9","o"," 2018-11-20 13:08"," 2018-11-20 13:08","2018-11-20 16:00","2-5 ans"
{CODE}

I reuse the same to create a new set of time to import new items;
{CODE()}
Date -- 10,Room -- 11
2018-11-21 14:00,Poupons
2018-11-21 16:00,Poupons
2018-11-21 14:00,2-5 ans
2018-11-21 16:00,2-5 ans
{CODE}

The items are created but the time is reset to 0:00 on all the new (imported) items in the tracker.

Webcalendar offers a setting Timezone Offset to Subtract or add hours to server time.

{draw name=timezoneoffset}

This would make things simpler for site which all events are in a common timezone.

Ex.: Showing UTC time in RSS feeds is not very useful...

Goal: to add a way to represent relevant data in a timeline.

This will most probably be done by re-using an existing library and/or service.

Let's coordinate here: ((TimeLine))

Tracker plugins are great.

There should be something about them in the tips, when creating trackers.

Enable multilingual, create a tracker create a text field and set it as mandatory.
You can’t save without filling the field. (good and normal)

Turn the field to multilingual and dont set title for other language.
You can’t save an item anymore.

While they can be a discussion about the logic, having a title in every language used in that case shouldn’t be mandatory and one should be use as default when other don’t exist.

I remember it was once useable, if you had at least one field with a value it was good enough to allow saving.

You can’t save an item with only one language title

__Objective:__

The objective of my feature request is a more efficient way to create, to edit and to display Calendar event data, when used together with a Tracker.

This would be useful especially in the context of project management tools like Kanban (under heavy development) and Trackercalendar.

All features and functionality like Trackercalendar, Kanban, Calendar events, should provide different simple and versatile views, based on the very same Calendar item and thus be freely combined and happily created by simply filling one simple Tracker form.

__Use case example / context and problem:__

I got the idea whilst working on a Tiki 25.0vcs (InnoDB, git, ...) for a small personal private office project, where I test a bunch of features.

I made a 'Task' list with Tracker ... this is planned to be used together with Kanban.

The 'Task' list contains a field type 'date and time (calendar event)' which creates a calendar event when the Tracker item is created. As far as I understand, the Tracker item displays the Start date (and time) of the Calendar event, which is connected / related to the respective Tracker item.

This is working fine and it is even possible to switch the relation of the Tracker item to another existing calendar event.
The name of the Tracker item will be the title of the Calendar event (which is good!)

Sadly the actual date and time is the only data that seems to be displayed in the Tracker item so far.
Imho it would be important to have the option to share the same item description for the Tracker item and the Calendar event.

Currently I can create a Tracker field 'Textarea' in the Tracker and use it as description.
But there is no option, that this description textarea would be displayed as decription of the calendar item. Aswell it is not possible to display the Calendar event's description in the Tracker item.

When the Tracker item is created it is only possible to distinguish the Calendar item's start date.
Only after creation the Tracker item can be displayed and from there an edit-button pressed and then the details of the Calendar item edited, like Start date and End date, duration, description, participants, and all the other data of a calendar event.
This process needs to be simplyfied.
All these data details needs to be optionally displayed in the Tracker and in the Calendar, in a way that Tracker and Calendar just provide a different view on the same event.

__Following additional functionality would be required:__

# Add a Tracker field type ' Calendar event details' to display data from the Calendar event that is (currently) connected to the Tracker item.
+
# This Tracker field type shall have options (maybe comma separated list) to display the content of one or more Calendar event fields like End date, duration, description, participants, etcetera.
+
# It shall be possible that several Tracker fields of type ' Calendar event details' exist in one Tracker item. This way this field type could be used
** either similar to a field type "item list' (display several calendar details in one Tracker field)
** or similar to a field type 'dynamic item list', respectively 'item link' (display one Calendar event detail per Tracker field for more detailed display option)
+
# The Tracker field type 'Calendar event' should provide the option (to the user) to distiguish and completely fill out all Calendar event data details at the time of Tracker item creation.
+The user should not be required additional steps to reopen the event for then providing the Calendar details that he would have wanted to provide in the first place.
+
# For long time the Trackercalendar did use no calendar items but individual 'date and time' fields to create a calendar like planning tool for ressources. As far as I know the Trackercalendar was not any connected with the calendar feature. Imho it would be a good idea to create the start and end dates of the Trackercalender by using the field type 'Calendar event'

This Todo tracker isn't working for sorting items via column sorts or filters.

Toggling the item status leads to the following pictures. The bug is displayed in the third picture. As one can see, the url param isn't correctly appended.

# There are many fields which are barely ever used.
# Some fields duplicate functionality and it's not clear what we should use.
# In some cases, comments are put in text areas and it's hard to follow. These should be in the threaded comments instead.

New contributors are lost. Old contributors are lost or dismayed.

Some duplicate fields are due to a previous effort to improve the workflow. Sadly, that work was never finished and we were left with duplicate fields. In a more recent period, multiple fields were added instead of just having one field with a bunch of check boxes.

This all needs to be cleaned up.

Oh yeah, and don't experiment on live data! nextdev.tiki.org is a good place to do this.

# Make stats on field usage.
# Any field which is used less than say 5% of the time should be considered for removal
# Fields like following can instead just be a category of an existing field

WYSIWYG toolbar for the text_area field is not working if field is set to multilingual.

Check the instance: http://bsfez-11581-5068.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-list_trackers.php

I have set 3 trackers.

One with 2 text area and 2 with a single text area (one set multilingual yes, one with multilingual no).
Only the single one with multilingual = no work properly.

The field type "items list" has to be applied in a target tracker.
The field type "items list" compares a field of a source tracker with a corresponding field of a target tracker and displays the content of a number of pre-selected fields of the source tracker in the target tracker.

I have setup an example use case on show.tiki.org. Please review __[http://torsten-11143-5621.show.tikiwiki.org]__ for further detailed information.

In this example use case the source tracker contains the adress data of locations, where a self-empoyed service technician named "Peter Wright" has to work when jobs are assigned to him by his customers.

The target tracker contains all relevant Job related data.

The source tracker and the target tracker are interlinked with one corresponding field in each of both trackers, which have the same field title and a corresponding content (here the "location name").

Based on the selection in the correspondiung field of the target tracker, another field of the target tracker shall display the content of a number of pre-selected fields of the source tracker.

The field type "items list" works with "item link", but it does not work with "dynamic item link / dynamic item list".

The list of fields linked from the source tracker is __not sortable__. But for a proper display it would be crucial, that this list would be sortable.

It would be very handy, or better said a logically expected functionality, tht tis field type would be working with "dynamic item list/link" aswell. This is not a bug, but missing this functionality could be considered as a partially non-finalised development.

Please review the show instance and comment on this wish-list item what you think.

Best regards,
Torsten
