When using OpenID + Registration CAPTCHA...
With Tiki 2.2...

I attempted to register using my OpenID:

#On the Login page, I entered my OpenID.
#My OpenID was validated and Tiki shows the page where I can either associate my OpenID with an existing Tiki account, or register as a new user.
#I completed the registration form (including the correct CAPTCHA), but Tiki keeps saying that the Anti-bot code was incorrect.

Additionally, the registration form presented with the OpenID __does not__:
*Display the password minimum requirements (such as number of characters).
*Allow for the selection of groups.


__Duplicate of {wish id=1505}__

The file description text is always present if the object name (stored name, not actual filename) is selected to be displayed. Selecting to display the object name automatically displays the description.

When using PluginMap to show geo-located tracker items, when a location pointer icon is clicked the popup is underneath the map instead of on top of it.

Here are the steps to recreate:
# Create a tracker item with a location field
# Add location information to the tracker item
# Use the following tiki syntax in a page (tracker id is assumed to be 1):
{CODE(colors="tiki")}
{MAP(scope="center" controls="controls, layers, levels, scale, navigation" popupstyle="dialog" width="300" height="300" center="-73.9590113593426,40.792087037500615,12" )}

{searchlayer tracker_id="1" type="trackeritem"}

{MAP}
{CODE}

When you edit a banning rule, that rule gets deleted (at least, from the list at the Banning interface in Tiki).

To reproduce:
* go to tiki-admin_banning.php
* add a rule for this ip "91.201.66.6" (real ip of spammers, btw) with the title "91.201.66.6_regular_spammers"
* Check all features
* Check the setting to activate the rule by dates
* Select the maximum possible time frame (btyw, this only allows selecting within the same year: reported by somebody else already in another bug report; see [bug3643])
* add some custom message
* save
* click at the title of your rule in order to have it open for edition again for you
* the rule is deleted from the list of rules, and the edit interface is empty

confirmed in two different tiksi from different servers... (btw, 5.x is also affected)

I would like to see a way to control how often I receive watch emails.

Situation 1 - DIGEST mode:
I would like to receive a single email each day that identifies every watched item that changed.

Situation 2 - TIMEFRAME mode:
If a page is changed by the same user within a preset timeframe, I only want to receive a single watch email. To avoid the "lost edit" issue, many users SAVE their wiki pages frequently (sometimes several times per hour). If I'm watching the page, I'll get TONS of emails. I'd rather get 1 email per user change per hour, for example.

It would be nice:

*to be able to see what is changed from the default value
*to be able to reset preferences to the default

All this, on a panel by panel

wiki page names, wiki page descriptions, etc should not only be indexed but the weight should be higher than text in the the wiki page.

Same logic should apply to all features.

{img src=show_image.php?id=93}

If Tikiwiki 1.9.4 or 1.9.5 is installed in the wwwroot of a "real" subdomain that resides on its own (win)server (not an alias to a subfolder under the main-domain), then rsslib.php inserts an additional backslash after the domain-name.

Links of rss-feed then look like: ~~#FF0000: sub.domain.com\/tiki... ~~ and RSS feed gets obviously broken.

As a quick-fix for my site I resolved this in the file rsslib.php by deleting the string:
~~#FF0000: ~np~ .dirname( $urlarray["path"] ) ~/np~ ~~
in the variables:
~~#FF0000: $home, $img, $read, $cssStyleSheet, and $xslStyleSheet ~~
in order to get RSS-2.0 to work again.

Unfortunately I'm not any more a coder and don't know php good enough to fix this for everybody and contribute in the CVS (I did no more coding since turbo-pascal under DOS in the mid 90's, but at least still can read a little bit :-)

all the best,
Felix

PS: Thanks everybody here for this great software!!!

Tiki has a basic feature to generate slides from wiki page data. This permits to prepare slides collaboratively and makes them highly available/searchable/accessible.
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Slideshow+User

However, the feature is not very exciting.

1- I do not want to rely on an external service to distribute my
slides. I want to put on my TikiWiki-powered sites. And I want them to
be searchable & accessible. An export to Flash is not ideal.

2- I want something standards-based to make sure I can use when I am
not using my computer (like at FOSDEM). Sure, Regis did an amazing
presentation at the last TikiFest, made with Keynote. But now, how to
share, mix and re-use?

3- I want a way to collaborate (when preparing) & share slide
information in an easier fashion.
a) I have done dozens of presentations. The collaborative process
using desktop tools is very inefficient. I remember a long night in a
hotel room in Tunis where we where collaborating over Skype to
fine-tune a presentation.

4- As Dogfood, I think these slides could help to
A) Make nicer tutorials/documentation
B) Promotional material on info.tikiwiki.org

5- Finally, I want something much nicer than what we have now. The
quality/design/features of S5 reloaded has nothing to be shy about
compared to Desktop apps:
http://www.netzgesta.de/S5/reloaded/advantages.php?id=sunny_gfx

Some goodies I look forward to using:
A- A second browser window which shows me a timer and some notes.
B- A special syntax to handle handouts.

6- Some of the concepts (ex.: image resizing depending on current
browser size) could be useful for Tiki in general.


Here is a proof of concept of

Perhaps with ((jQuery))?

Clicking "Save" icon in toolbar doesn't work.

Some versions of the Tikiwiki documentation suggest that a watch does not report a change to a web page that has been designated as a "minor" change. That does not appear to be the case for Tikiwiki 1.9.2.

If you ask me, the ability for a wiki user to make a Minor edit without bothering the "Watcher" crowd is a great idea and makes for a better community wiki dynamic.

Error using Tiki 5.3 on a shared hosting (installed in …/httpdocs/tiki). This error does not occur with TikiWiki 4.1 on the same hosting (installed in …/httpdocs/tiki4).

When I try (as admin) to edit users in Tiki 5.3, I get these PHP errors:
PHP (5.2.9) ERROR (E_WARNING):

To me it seems that the open_basedir restriction is reasonable (my hosted Web space + /tmp). There seems to be a syntax error (beginning / before lib) inducing a confusion between /lib on the server and the …/httpdocs/tiki/lib folder in my installation. (By the way, I do not understand // in the path.)

I tried to read line 34 in core.get_include_path.php, but I am not a programmer and I cannot figure how to correct the syntax error. I do not know the value of all these variables at the moment the function is called.

Could somebody suggest a correction or a workaround?

I created a test environment with the following components:
Apache 2.2.10
PHP 5.2.8
MySQL 6.0.8 alpha

I was not able to get MySQL 5.1 working on my machine,
but I was abe to get 6.0.8alpha runnning smooth.

I checked out the latest code in TRUNK 15953
pointed Apache to the files.

I ran tiki-install.php without problems except the following 3 SQL problems
which I suppose is due to MySQL version 6.0.8alpha

As my SQL skills are not up to date...
Are there any solutions for these bug?

Do not propose, that version 6 of MySQL is not supported :-)

Installer is broken on 4.1 in Windows 2008 R2 with the environment described below. At least two of us have exactly the same problem, so the issue is not local to us.

At the bottom is someone else's description as taken off the Installer forum. My experience is exactly the same, except I am running MySQL 5.1.41 instead of 5.1.42.

A third party suggested it has something to do with directory or session permissions, or PHP configs. To test this, I uninstalled tw 4.1 and installed 3.4 in the same environment. 3.4 worked just fine. Then I upgraded to 4.1 over top of it and it reverted to previous bad behavior. So I believe it is a 4.x bug.

I've given this a high priority because the software is unusable if you can't install it, so you probably losing a lot of users.

Here's the other guy's description of the problem:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am trying to preform a fresh install of TW4.1 on Windows Server 08 R2, IIS 7.5, PHP 5.2.12 and MySQL 5.1.42. However, after filling in the page for the database information to populate the database, I reach a page entitled

__Tiki Installer Security Precaution__

You are attempting to run the Tiki Installer. For your protection, this installer can be used only by a site administrator.

To verify that you are a site administrator, enter your database credentials (database username and password) here.

If you have forgotten your database credentials, find the directory where you have unpacked your Tiki and have a look inside the db folder into the local.php file.

I enter the 'root' account information and hit 'Validate and Continue'. But it takes me back to the 'Welcome' page. Now any link I hit Takes me to the validation page and I enter the correct user (root) account info and I'm sent back to the 'Welcome' page. The install doesn't want to continue.

If you want, check out www.nerdzone.net to see the site.

I think what's needed is a Gallery of "Tiki Sites in a Box". In other words, Tiki sites that are preconfigured to meet a particular kind of needs. The needs should be defined not in terms of features, but in terms of GOALS of the end user or organisation.

This could be a list of descriptions like this:

- I want a site to enable collaboration inside my organisation.
- I want a site to broadcast my ideas to the world and allow people to add to them and comment on them.
- I want a site that will act as an open knowledge base on a particular topic.
- etc...

Each of these could point to an example which would be a "fake" site that could act as a sandbox. People could go to this fake site, play around with it (but not reconfigure it), to see if it's what they are looking for.

This would allow easy single click configuration of Tiki. The user would simply click on one of the items in the Gallery, and the Tiki site would be configured accordingly.

One issue is: what happens if the user choose wrong and later wants to switch to a different model? I guess if no content has been created in the site it's fine, but what if content has already been created and that content is somewhat incompatible with the new model that the user is choosing?

__Moving discussion of this wish to ((Profile Manager))__

Like many web applications, to install TikiWiki, you need to have already created your database (via phpMyAdmin or cPanel).

Maybe TikiWiki could handle this task using the mysql root/super user account?


Otherwise, maybe try via cPanel API if available (TRIM as well could try this)

PHP (5.3.3) ERROR (E_WARNING):
File: lib/tikidate-php5.php
Line: 174
Type: DateTime::setDate() expects parameter 2 to be long, string given

This started happening after I updated to the current subversion head and allowed the installer to upgrade the DB to UTF-8.

The symptom on the page is:

Created by admin. Last Modification: DateTime::__construct() [datetime.--construct]: Failed to parse time string (5) at position 0 (5): Unexpected character by mheller.

I have just migrated a Tiki from one server to another and ran into
UTF-8 Problems. The browser showed Umlauts as the dreaded diamonds with
question marks in them.

Both servers are fully utf-8 compliant as described in
http://tikiwiki.org/UTF-8

The big problem is that on the new server PDO is available while it
isn't on the old one. According to the mailing list PDO is not default,
but as far as I can see in the code PDO will be default, if available
and not set otherwise. Setting

$api_tiki='adodb';

in db/local.php fixes the special character problem.

The issue seems to be that PDO gives a silent fuc# about encodings and
just pumps everything to the database and back as you hand it to it.
Additionally PHP/PDO doesn't read your my.cnf and therefore doesn't know
which encoding to use.
A quick fix is telling PDO which encoding to use - line 39 in
db/tiki-db-pdo.php :

$dbTiki = new PDO("$db_tiki:$db_hoststring;dbname=$dbs_tiki",
$user_tiki, $pass_tiki,array(PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND => "SET NAMES
utf8"));

But I think that this is not safe to commit...
e.g. someone started with Tiki on MySQL 4.0 which used latin1 as
default, so all her tables are latin1. She upgrades MySQL to 5.1, but
doesn't change the Tiki database to default to utf-8 and hasn't
converted the database. Then the PDO-fix above will most probably
produce the same problem, just the other way around...

No idea, what to do actually, but wanting to raise awareness here!

This is a dangerous issue as people with utf-8 databases upgrading their
system or Tiki and switching automagically over to PDO will end up with
mixed stuff in their database: clean UTF-8 and double-byte
ansi-control-characters which MySQL converted to their right unicode
codepoints (freaky, hm? ;) ).

I hope, I was capable of describing the problem in a way that's
understandable....

In my installation, on some internal links that are represented in an absolute way, there is a backslash between the domain name and the first slash.

Eg when I try to login on http://mydomain.com/index.php, I get redirected to http://mydomain.com\/tiki-login.php, which the server cannot render.

Clean install of:
MS Windows Server 2003 SE SP2 on x86
Apache 2.2.10
MySQL 5.1.30
PHP 5.2.8
TikiWiki 2.2

Tiki resides directly in the DocumentRoot C:\tiki (as it is a dedicated server).

In tiki-setup.php, there is a line

{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()} $tikiroot = dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); {CODE}

In the documentation of [http://www.php.net/dirname |((dirname))], they state that since PHP 4.3.0, dirname returns unexpected values. The example implies that on Windows dirname('/x') returns '\'.

Therefore, if you install Tiki in the DocumentRoot, _SERVER['PHP_SELF'] will be '/filename.php' and $tikiroot will be '\'.

Yahoo! now provides OpenID support for all Yahoo! IDs. However, I am unable to login to any Tiki by using my Yahoo! OpenID.

See http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=4&comments_parentId=28775

The goal is to have a USB key version of Tiki.

Possible uses:
#Easy testing on a Windows desktop
#Have a backup of your Tiki on your MP3 player
#etc

2- System sends email (to validate user controls that email)

3- User clicks and is sent to tiki-login_validate.php?user=abc&pass=xyz


The admin should be able to override to send a wiki welcome page for new users or to user tracker form.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
When using the __Versions__ plugin, Tiki incorrectly merges the first line of each "version" within the Version navigation bar. This causes problems when parsing wiki syntax for items that must begin at the start of the line (such as the numbering # syntax).


Example:

[http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=UserPagericks99&pagenum=2#Versions_plugin]

This broken numbered procedures, when Versions plugin is used to differentiate software versions (such as on doc.tw.o or ''Smarties'').

The "Tentative" status for a calendar event always reverts to "Confirmed" after it is saved.
