The module freetags should have an option to disable the display it as a menu item in the main menu.

General idea i mentioned in the irc-channel and which earned at least some positive feedback from @ohertel.

Feature:
Please add some kind of preference(s) allowing Tiki to determine automatically whether a table of contents should display in a given page.

If enabled it would automatically display a TOC in all articles/pages having at least ''x'' main-sections. This would avoid wasting space for superfluous ToC-s, or editors wasting time controlling TOC-s.


Example:
---------
* Intelligent ToC is enabled and set to 3
* I do create a new article which has only a small amount of text/content and is using only 2 main sections (i.e. !SectionA & !SectionB) -> results in an article with no ToC
* If i do change the article now and add i.e. 1 new Sections (resulting in having 3 aka !Sections1, !Sections2, Sections3 including an automatically generated TOC

I feel the need for a tag description field (that could be) associated to each freetag. That'd allow to place a definition (what does this tag mean ? what should it be used for ?) to make it as clear as possible for users to use the tags and know what they mean.

Not sure wether it was possible or not, I posted a message on the forum : http://tiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=44367&forumId=4

It would be nice if one could choose "Latex equations" as a tracker field type. E.g. for mathematical or chemical formulas.

More generally wiki parsed fields would be nice...

Hi,

as written to the dev list, I had the problem to restrict access to some newsletters but not to all. I found a solution, but I am not sure, if this breaks nothing else. Here is the problem:

I want to set up some newsletters: One with access from anybody (anonymous users can subscribe and view the archive) and some others with access only for special groups of users.

On global permission page I set 'tiki_p_list_newsletters' and 'tiki_p_subscribe_email' for anonymous users (this permissions are not available on the object permission page).

On the object permission page for the single newsletter (accessible through /tiki-admin_newsletters.php and the key icon of every newsletter) I activate 'tiki_p_subscribe_newsletters' and 'tiki_p_view_newsletter' for the group of users with permissions on this newsletter.

With this settings I would expect, that an anonymous user browsing page tiki-newsletters.php would see the list of newsletters, in this case showing only the public newsletter. But in this case there is an error (You are not logged in). As a privileged user (allowed to see all newsletters) the page is accessible but empty, not showing any newsletter.

I have a problem with search in tiki.I wish i can search blog,article,forum... belong to author or creator.I'm researching Zend_Search_Lucene.If you have a solution of this problem.Please help me!!!thankful for all.

Comments are good in this respect

Many ISP's have separated pop/imap and smtp accounts. Or just they require SMTP auth when sending email outside ISP networks.

Just to be sure :
User may have separated incoming(pop3/imap) and outgoing(smtp) accounts
or
User may have one account for incoming&outgoing (pop3/imap/smtp)

Both cases should be supported and with ssl support.

Current (v9.1) webmail implementation does not allow separated pop/imap and smtp account settings. Also SMTP is missing ssl possibility.

So in these cases webmail is unusable.

thanks

The log in "Remember me" option can be set to "User's choice". There are fine grained options up to one day, but there's a gap between one day and one week. I'd be helpful and convenient to offer two days and three days as well.

Another nice-to-have would be a menu for users to choose themselves how long to remember up to a maximum set by the administrator. The administrator's duration menu should include the "Always" option in this case, too.

The webinterface for bug reports and wishes can be submitted only without preview. It'd be an enhancement to have the opportunity to correct typos and check things before final submission.

People tend to make the comment that adding images in wiki docs is a tedious process - compared to what they are used to in other (local) applications/editor. Most of which support drag & drop of images directly in the editor.

I reply that this is a web application and not a local application. Few people are satisfied with this explanation.

Drag & drop of images in the - especially in the WYSIWYG editor - would be really nice.

The dropped files should be stored in the File Gallery, I guess. Once dropped Tiki should automatically insert the image tag at the drop location in the editor.

The user must be able to open the image properties to configure the image settings afterwards.

In Docuwiki there is a floating command bar. It follows the page view. Always in sight, always there with the commands. Easier.


I am not sure how TikiWiki can fit this in, but the "instant readiness" is a plus.

Another nice feature is the display of the icons only - when using the page, but on mouse over the command titles are displayed in a popup.

See: [http://demo.tiki.org/trunk/tiki-index.php?page=For+Arild]

Docuwiki implements a dynamic (page) Table of Contents. Would be nice in Tiki.

When the table of contents is auto-generated, it requires no knowledge of how to add a maketoc plugin from the user. The ability to hide the TOC frees space for the actual content.

Try at: [https://www.dokuwiki.org/syntax#tables].

See the screencast about dynamic table of content at [http://demo.tiki.org/trunk/tiki-index.php?page=For+Arild]


A new wiki feature could be added, e.g. "Page TOC". If set, a table of (page) contents is automatically generated when viewing a page (when the page has at least one heading).

Not sure how to best integrate this in the GUI.
Should it be a module that the user must assign (to the topbar?), or should the system manage the positioning? The "module" must be active when the "Page TOC" feature is active.

It'd be nice to have the possibility (at user's choice) to watch all items created or modified by a user automatically. For example, I'd like to autowatch all bugs filed in this tracker by myself without going to my own filed report and then clicking the 'Monitor' eye symbol. And I don't want to watch the complete tracker either.

To be able to batch upload zip file to a file gallery with the file contents of the zip files that or in order.

For example.

if creating a "how to" page with screenshots, you save the screenshots as scr01.png, scr02.png, scr03.png, scr04.png, etc following the sense of the document

When you batch upload the zip file, they are randomly unzipped or assigned a file ID.

scr01.png = FileID 04
scr02.png = FileID 02
scr03.png = FileID 01
scr04.png = FileID 03

Therefore when editing the text, instead of typing in order

click here
img fileId="01"
type blah
img fileId="02"
click Ok
img fileId="03"
Click Finish
img fileId="04"

This current process greatly reduces the efficiency of editing a page with multiple successive file/image attachments. Instead of manually typing & logically augmenting the file ID sequentially knowing that it will be the next screenshot in order, you have to do several mouse clicks to chose the correct image/file, if you have a zip file with a hundred or so screenshots, this task becomes extremely burdensome.

Using services like http://www.stopforumspam.com can help to identify and handle spam-related mail addresses trying to create an account.

stopforumspam provides an API to test a mail address against a "known spammer"-list. This could be used to warn an admin before confirming an account.

Hi,

There are several main marked up languages that we know well.

I think that it will be useful to be able to exchange (import, export) documents with other selected marked up languages.

!!I particularly think to two categories :

!!!1- The task and documents managers used by development tools : Eclipse-Mylin Aptana environment and Bugzilla

Remark :
About this category, I redact documents using textile to describe the developments integrated into projects and bugzilla.
This because I have near fifty elementary project developed since 4.0, stabilized at 8.3 and that I am preparing for 10.x. (They remain for most of them available and someones must be adapted - galleries particularly)

!!!2- The wikies
The problem is to exchange data with users of main wiki.

The need is to use the large capabilities of tikiwiki to hold projects management and documentation. But as it is not specialized it cannot be directly used.

!!There are several ways, this is completely opened :
1- Be compatible i/O with textile which is very closed from basic tiki marked up language. This for basic articles.
2- Develop a plugin using tikiwiki as marked up language for Mylin
3- Look farther with a full XSL XSL-Fo (note that with eclipse all marked up supported languages can be exported as XSL-

!!On the way, proposal
1- First : list of major marked up languages for wiki and task managers
2- Links import export existing from one to another
3- Choose the optimum
!!
Aim :
- Prepare use of tikiwiki in project management
- Be compatible with environments as Eclipse to with other project management tools

!!Reason(s)
- Tiki provides a lot of coherent and very useful tools to manage the content of projects (documents and detailed task management, studies) and groupware life and management which is the core of project management (the classical tools for planning are only in my mind a little part). __But it cannot be connected with specialized existing tools and information systems in various businesses. The problem and aim is to prune efficiently tikiwiki into these organizations.

Trebly

The "((doc:PluginTrackerCalendar))" (fullcalendar resourceviews) needs annual view (for project management)

Because real projects last more than just a month... and managers want to see the evolution over time (monthts)

Moreover, we need "filters" for up to 3 tracker fields to control de display of data from the tracker

3 tracker fields because you usually want to review by:
(1) user/s,
(2) dates,
(3) a field related to the project itself (priority, custom field such as project type, etc)

---
A basic attempt is using plugin custom search, but I don't yet get the right syntax to filter events in the trackercalendar based on the results of the dynamic filter specified by the user.

The plugin Exercise is a nice way to for students to get feedback on their learning. For an instructor or an admin it would be very useful to have a way of checking student's success. That way, the instructor could evaluate how easy the material is, or if certain students need extra help with something.

As far as I understand, right now exercise input data is not stored in the database so there is no way to track the exercise outcome. It would be great if a table could be added to the database where the this data could be stored and accessed.

When you are using definition list plugin, if you want to use a colon in the definition, there is no way to do this that I know of because the colon is used to separate the term from the definition. If you have a second colon on the line, the second colon and everything after it is cut off (not displayed).

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.

__From kerrnel22 on 11/20/07:__

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.
