Category: 9.x

The Editing and Plugins page was not loading on my Tiki site.

Some plugins were not loading in the Plugin Help tab.

The Category feature Category Path (show category tree, above wiki pages) is not working in 9.0 or 9.1 as released. The CatPath plugin still functions as a workaround, but provides no facility to exclude certain categories from showing like Category Path does, and is an obvious kludge. This is a system feature so my troubleshooting skills are somewhat limited, but I'd really like to get this working again for my users.

Left column formatting of blog posts seems to be broken in V9.1. This worked in V 7 and 8. The function called is BLOGLIST. It is called via Dynamic Content.

"{BLOGLIST(Id=>12, simpleList=>n, Items=>6)}{BLOGLIST}"

Tracker export items using the "quick export" option fails to fetch emails when they are shown through a "User Preference" type of field. The problem comes from the fact that the data from the subsequent columns got misplaced in the previous columns.

Exporting items through the second section of Tracker export items works as expected, and includes all data in the right place.

The heading shown when viewing a Notepad item (page tiki-notepad_read.php) displays the text of the "nbsp" entity (surrounded by ampersand and semicolon) between the "Reading note:" and the note name.
Presumably this is intended to be an actual space.

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.

By using i18n "Multilingual" with "Restrict supported languages" and module "switch_lang" in "Admin Modules" the module's drop down menu does not show restricted languages properly. The problem depends on chosen active language.

Restricting to Arabic, English and German, the menu offers correctly three options in Arabic and English, but all languages in German.

Adding French and Spanish to the restricted languages, now there are still three options in Arabic and English (should be five), all options in German and Spanish, and the correct five options in French.

There is no possibility to chose all languages when active language is German or Spanish, so this part of the restriction seems to work properly.

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.

The dynamic content right now is just sensitive to the time to be published. The text itself is static. Often you want to have quite similar pages except some details.

Like address list for city A, for city B...
you can "hardcode" it with trackerlist in the pages of the city.
BUT if you want to add/change some information to this address pages you need to change it on aaalll pages. And for sure you make some mistakes

I have many of these pages, where just a bit is changed. Adresslist for different cities, Mailing lists, Alumni lists, starting pages for different cities, ....

There is weird bug that sometime permits to create a page with no name. This has been in Tiki for several versions. Since the page has no name, it's not possible to delete from tiki-listpages.php

We have seen is here: http://profiles.tiki.org and it broked the profiles for several days.

Ref: [http://irc.tiki.org/irclogger_log/tikiwiki?date=2012-10-01,Mon&sel=379#l375]

@Mani: you should use a copy of doc.tiki.org to see a real example.

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.

Since tiki-9.1 opening links in new page stopped working
http://doc.tiki.org/Menu#url_-_attributes_target_rel_..._

{CODE()}http://someurl" target="_blank{CODE}

Turning on the following does not seem to work
*"Allow HTML in menu option names and URLs"
*"REALLY allow HTML (INSECURE)"

I turned this on before but with some upgrade it seems to have been turned of again.
Although it is turned off in tiki-8.5 and tiki-9.0 it does work.

Please ad a option to open links in new page in "Create menu option" or fix the above.

Set the Tracker Status option "Modified item status" to Pending but when any field is updated the status remains as open. This is in Tiki 9.0. I haven't tried it in any other version.

Using wiki page cache, it happens that page cache is generated by a user who set his language to Italian. And then, the page is visited by someone who has language to something else, but sees Italian.


Workaround: turn off wiki page cache if you have a multilingual site

When creating a list of pages for a new structure with the Tree list. The Tiki stalls out and does not create the pages but dies randomly half way or three quarters of the way through the list. I then created a VM environment to test against that same version 9.1LTS and same symptom.
The problem is not there under 6.3LTS. I can create the structure just fine. Then export the structure and import it into 9.1LTS. Not exactly the workaround I want.

On doc.tiki.org/Installation, there is a link to doc.tiki.org/tiki-index.php/page=Installation

{img fileId=54}

And then, this page is broken, and it has many new links to index, most of which are invalid.

{img fileId=55}


Another example:
{img fileId=63}

Tracker view item history (tiki-tracker_view_history.php) doesn't store data from an admin changing the associated username in a tracker item.
e.g.
# a tracker contains some fields. One of them is field type username, with creator as param.
# a registered user adds an item (so that this user has associated it's username to the field in that item)
# an admin user (user with admin perm on that tracker) changes status from open to pending.
# another admin user (with tiki_p_admin) edits that item, to change the field username from a value to another one.
# tiki-tracker_view_history.php does not show that change in the table of values, but just the change from open to pending.

Reproduced here: http://r-es.org/item308

Images uploaded to tracker field image do not respect multitiki paths.

When you upload an image to this type of field, they go to

__img/trackers/__

When you are in a multitiki of, let's say, site1.example.com and site2.example.com, you have a folder for site1 at:

__img/trackers/site1.example.com/__

but your image files don't get uploaded there, but to the general

__img/trackers/__

And the same with all the other multitiki sites.
When you want to backup files, or migate a site to a new server, you are in trouble to know which files belong to which site from the multiki installation.

For consistency with how multitiki works, they should be uploaded to, and used from, the multitiki-aware path:

__img/trackers/site1.example.com/__

* Autonumbering of headings is shown on the table of contents, but not on the pages themselves (using the default theme in doc.tw.o, based on thenews.css I guess). I would say that this worked for me a month ago on a 2.1 site using feb12.css with another (shorter) structure of wiki pages ( http://www.iesbarcelona.org/ESSO350/tikiwiki-2.1/tiki-index.php?page=2008+Fall+-+Final+Paper ).

* page 39: .htaccess from dynamic content is not shown in the full page. Can this be modified at printing time so that the full content is shown on the page?

* page 41: a CODE block longer than a single sheet of paper is cut at the end of the page, not showing the rest of the content. Can this be modified at printing time so that the full content is shown on the page?

* Some pages didn't have the title manually displayed. Those ones doesn't show the title of the page (as section of the full pdf)... Maybe the best workaround is to add a setting for the user to select whether he/she wants adding all page names as titles to the pages, or not. For our case, maybe it's easier to remove extra title (easy to identify when you have too title too similar one after the other) than having to figure out where a new page starts... (see plugins pages...). Example: page 127: PluginJS is shown, fine, but not PluginLang, PluginListpages? Plugin Manager?, on the following pages...

* copyright license is needed at the end?

* It would be nice to allow at structure-printing time to select which version among the ones allowed by the PLUGIN VERSIONS (where applicable), had to be selected for printing. Right now, it might be useful for people looking for an updated documentation for their 1.9.x, so that all plugin versions were pre-set to display the content from 1.9.x. Moreover, after April (only some months to go for that) we will have the same issue with people looking for 3.x documentation, or just 2.x. Well, this is just to raise this point for the following months, so that, the better for us for producing our own documentation, the better for other communities producing their documentation using Tiki and coping with their versions also... (Firefox, for instance?)

* when the content is copied and pasted to OpenOffice (using OOo 2.x and 3.x), there are images or tables which are wider than the page size.

* Is it possible to have page breaks added before headings of level X (and let the user select a page break just before a heading level 1, and 2, for instance).

Update on Dec 7th, 2012 (Tiki9.x LTS):
* RFE still valid....

In Tiki 2.4 the syntax below work:

~np~{img src="img/wiki_up/cabeçalho" }~/np~

In Tiki 6.4 and trunk it doesn't (I haven't tested with other versions).

The problem is the special character "ç" in the image file name.

This bug was introduced in r22212 (http://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tikiwiki?view=revision&revision=22212). If you remove the call to htmlentities() the problem is solved but I'm assuming this function is there for a reason.
