When a user activates a theme in "My Tiki", he is unable to go back either to default site theme or to another one. The new profile is active during the user session, but once he logs off and on again, he stays with the first chosen profile.
This problem exists on this site.

The User-Task-System is working fine but the tasks are not shown in the module. By clicking preview in admin-modules the tasks are shown both in the module-preview and in the module itself. This bug appeared both with updating tw from 1.9.4 to 1.9.7 to 1.9.10. and with a clean 1.10 installation.

In earlier versions of Tiki, usernames for login were case insensitive.
marclaporte = MarcLaporte

Now, they are case sensitive:
marclaporte <> MarcLaporte

This is a usability problem, especially with non-technical users.

When trying to login with their username (with a different case) they get "Invalid username or password".

So they try to use tiki-remind_password.php (again with the wrong case) The error message is: "Unable to send mail. User has not configured email: MarcLaporte"

So they end up trying to create another user. When they try to create a new user with a different case, they get an error "User already exists". If usernames are really case sensitive, I should be able to create 2 distinct users, MarcLaporte and marclaporte. This would obviously lead to confusion.

My request / suggestion:

Restore case insensitiveness in usernames for logins (or at least restore the option with much better error messages when in case sensitive mode)

Thanks!

I have two users at tw.o: xavi and xavidp. Both with lower case.

I can log in on doc.tw.o using either Xavi or xavi. When I log in with user Xavi, when I click on watching adding a page, or watching another page, I get this type of error:
{CODE(wrap=>1)}
An error occured in a database query!

Context:
File tiki-editpage.php
Url tiki-editpage.php
Query:
insert into `tiki_user_watches`(`user`,`event`,`object`,`email`,`type`,`title`,`url`) values(?,?,?,?,?,?,?)
Values:
0 Xavi
1 wiki_page_changed
2 Tikiwiki 1.10 ca
3 NULL
4 wiki page
5 Tikiwiki 1.10 ca
6 tiki-index.php?page=Tikiwiki 1.10 ca
Message:
Column 'email' cannot be null
Built query was probably:
insert into `tiki_user_watches`(`user`,`event`,`object`,`email`,`type`,`title`,`url`) values('Xavi','wiki_page_changed','Tikiwiki 1.10 ca',NULL,'wiki page','Tikiwiki 1.10 ca','tiki-index.php?page=Tikiwiki 1.10 ca')
{CODE}

With the 1.10b (and latest svn changes) it is meant for admins to be able to change the creator of the forums.

Unfortunately, all users with permission to create blogs, can now create blogs for any other user - even if they can not post to them.

It seems that the latest file templates/tiki-edit_blog.tpl and .php requires that a value for the creator is passed back from the field Creator. Thus, the field has to be present with a valid content.

When a user has the permission "tiki_p_take_quiz", but not "tiki_p_view_quiz_stats", he won't see any quizzes. This is because of the following selection in tikilib.php:

function list_quizzes($offset, $maxRecords, $sort_mode, $find) {

....
$add=$this->user_has_perm_on_object($user, $res['quizId'], 'quiz', array('tiki_p_take_quiz', 'tiki_p_view_quiz_stats'));

....

A user should be able to list (and thus take) quizzes without having the permission to view the stats.

Users do not receive registration confirmation emails.

whereas admin does receive the registration asks by email and also receive its watch notification.
(which seems to exclude configuration php.ini config...)

Using a Tracker with an Attachment field with the TRACKER plugin:

If the user __does not__ have permission to attach files to tracker items (but can insert/create new tracker items), Tiki will, nevertheless, allow the user to select a file to submit with the tracker. Upon submission, there is no notification to the end-user that their attachment was not really included.

Tested when generating webhelp from a wiki structure...

With the "best langauge" feature enabled, Tiki will generate wiki links with the &bl=y suffix. When converted to webhelp, Tiki does not remove this link suffix.

As a result, HTML links includes this suffix. For example: foo&bl=y.html

This is incorrect -- the link should simply be: foo.html

Tiki newsletter works well for small volumes.

But for large volumes, as with any web app, sending emails from a server can be a challenge. Risk of being flagged as spammer, high server load/difficult to throttle, limits from your web hosts (ex.: max x emails per hour), etc

A helpful alternative would be something like this:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4883

So my Thunderbird client or desktop newsletter application (ex.: [http://gammadyne.com/mmail.htm|Gammadybe Mailer]) should be able to access the TikiWiki database to generate recipient list.

Another approach is to make the Tiki contacts (address book) accessible via the LDAP protocol and thus, email clients can access.

Tiki banners can now handle images, text, html and external image. To use Flash, one must make an html file (with the Flash) and call that via an iframe.

Adding native support to upload and use a Flash file is next step.

Tested with 1.10 SVN from June 20, 2008...

When using the TRACKER plugin on a wiki page, if the user submits the tracker successfully, Tiki scrolls to an anchor in the tracker from to display the success message.

However, if the tracker was not submitted successfully (such as missing a mandatory field), the page is redisplayed at the top of the page -- Tiki does not scroll down to the form to show the error message. The user will be unaware that the tracker was not submitted.

To test:
1. Create a long wiki page.
2. At the bottom of the wiki page use the TRACKER plugin to add a form
3. Attempt to submit the form (using invalid data).

When using the 'user select' field in a Tracker, a set of userids can be assigned to the resultant drop down menu when Editing the fields - and quite sensibly the resultant drop down menu includes a blank so that a specific choice does not have to be made.

However when the field has the e-mail option set to 1 ie to send an e-mail whenever the Tracker is changed, the system still tries to send e-mails to the 'blanks' as well as the records with userid values set.

This will(normally)result in a series of Mail Delivery System undelivered mails errors being sent by the mail system handling the e-mail address set as the 'sending' e-mail, since the mails generated do not have a Recipient.

A check should obviously be made to avoid this.

This message may appear in several cases:

* You tried to include the "<" character in your page: you should escape it as "<"
* You used an unescaped ampersand "&": this may be valid in some contexts, but it is recommended to use "&", which is always safe.
* Another possibility is that you forgot to close quotes in a previous tag.

I would fix it if i had check-in powers sorted out (working on it) but i'm not sure that wouldn't it break anything else (in webmail?)

Version Plugin is broken: or at least it's not working on tikiwiki.org. Example:
http://tikiwiki.org/TikiLiveCD (version 0.3, the default) and
http://tikiwiki.org/TikiLiveCD?tikiversion=Version+0.2 are showing the same

Then, click an image:

Try to vote on a closed poll.
The showed error break the page layout.
THe display message error page is presented without any css and theme.

When you configu. a forum without the option to vote threads, the comments on forums threads allow users to rate them still. And they shouldn't.

The same even if score system is toggled off from active features.

The problem: Say I am multi-tasking.

1- I start editing a wiki page
2- I check my thunderbird email.
3- I click a link in my email
4- That link could take over my browser and I lose what I was editing. Not fun.


This is what we need:

And that solution also works when you are clicking a link in an email. (not just back button)

It is possible to watch for new articles here: tiki-user_watches.php

So why not add an "eye" in view articles and list articles?

Tiki Calendar is very nice for events. But what if someone updates the information about an event? Maybe I won't know (because I copy/pasted the event my pesonal calendar) and I will show up at the old (wrong) time.

Tiki's excellent watch feature should be added (with the little eye) to
# all calendars
# each calendar (id=1) (this could be nice on the filter tab)
# each individual event (when in view mode)

Ideally, for a modified event, I would receive in the email the old and the new value, like for watching trackers.


related code here:
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=UserPagericks99#Calendar_Notifications

Watch item on trackers sends messages in the language of the tracker poster. It should be in the language of the person watching the item.

This is best explained with an example:

~pp~
Paragraphs are parsed

just fine here

{TAG(tag=ul)}foo{TAG}

but now

paragraphs and

line breaks aren't working!
~/pp~

This only happens for tag=ul, not even for tag=ol.

This happens regardless whether wiki paragraph formatting is enabled and regardless of whatever is inside the ~np~{TAG(tag=ul)}~/np~, even ~np~{TAG(tag=li)}~/np~'s.
