At https://tiki.org/forumthread70022-mpdf-Generates-Black-PDF-docs at the bottom it shows:
Page: 1/2 [Next]

The link to see the second page is on the Next string.
When you click it you can see the second page... But you can’t return back as there is no more pagination.

UPDATE 22/01/2019: Not fixed.
When you click it you can see the second page... But you can’t return back as there is no more pagination links.

UPDATE 22/01/2019: Another exemple at https://tiki.org/forumthread71032-Social-Login-unable-to-auto-create-user there are 5 pages and you have to load them all one after the other if you want to look at page 5. (no direct link for the last page)

Hello,
I installed the same website on two different server (same source and same sql).
The first is a Unbuntu 9.04 with last Apache, Php, Mysql. Config with a VirtualHost.
The second is Windows Vista SP2 with EasyPhp 3.0. Config with a Directory and Alias.

On the first server (Ubuntu), some links in forum like "reply" are wrong (something like http://www.mysite.com/forumId=...). Also when I send a message the request finish on a blank page.

On the second server I don't have this pb.

A specific component is need for 3.x (maybe present in EasyPhp) ?

Thanks

The plugin forum and the forum list don’t display the same. (probably not re-indexed right-away?)

As they are both visible on the same page at : https://tiki.org/forum26
It’s a bit disturbing.

Forum list last post are way back in time than the forum plugin last post.

When deleting forum posts / topics it just asks to confirm without telling the user again what he/she is trying to delete.

When a user submits a forum post with an attachment (.zip, etc.), the post is saved but the attachment doesn't show up.

The count display of number of forum posts in a particular forum is wrong. It increases in somewhat fibonacci manner, possibly due to count of joins or something, but whatever it increases much faster than the actual number of posts.

Currently in the tiki.org forums ("Last update from SVN (20.2svn): Monday 02 December 2019 04:56:58 JST- REV 73848"), when you preview a post/reply, the page refreshes in its original state before you wrote the post/reply. The post/reply content is lost.

Just happened to me on 21.x - dull {sign user="jonnybradley" datetime="2020-03-23T12:16:01+00:00"}

There's some weirdness in posting in the forum that should be corrected. I just spent time writing a response to a forum post at the community site, and clicked "preview". Then a modal came up and said "This page is asking you to confirm that you want to leave - data you have entered may not be saved." There were two buttons, the highlighted one was "Leave page"; the other was "stay on page".

What does this mean? Normally "leave page" means just that, but I didn't want to leave the page if it means my post isn't saved, which the dialog warned about. So I clicked "stay on page" and watched the "save in progress" anim rotate forever, over my ghosted post which I feared would be lost. So I opened my DOM inspector and "display:none"ed all the modal layers and was able to hit the "post" button.

In a follow-up test, I clicked the "Leave the page" button and this in fact allowed me to stay on the page and see a preview of my post.

Clearly things aren't as they should be. The "stay on page" action is completely dysfunctional, and the "leave page" is, ah, misleading. Is a warning needed here at all? Why not just show the preview? If a confirmation is needed for some user-unfriendly reason, then at least the wording could be corrected.

I just posted a reply at the tiki.org forums and the post time line reads "Posted by ... less than a minute from now". This should be "...less than a minute ago", the same as the cases that are more than one minute in the past. "From now" refers to future time.

I didn't test to see if this happens other places such as blog posts and article publishing, but seems like it might.

This is a bit odd. Using trunk from today, Feb 10th, 2009, even if this bug was showing up with previous trunks, also.

I post a message as plain registered user, that I get this message just after posting:

As admin user, I can see that post, and any other.

When one hits the preview key on a heavily-populated forum, the preview gets put all the way down at the bottom of the pane. Despite the fact that the active area in the pane is at the bottom, after the preview action, the screen will be positioned at the top. At best this involves a lot of unnecessary scrolling; at worst this can be very confusing to the user.

tiki-forum_rankings.php is broken since Tiki 4 due to its usage of function forums_ranking_last_topics(), which was removed:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method RankLib::forums_ranking_last_topics() in /var/www/tiki/6.x/tiki-forum_rankings.php on line 70

or

Fatal error: Call to undefined method RankLib::forums_ranking_last_topics() in /var/www/tikitrunk/tiki-forum_rankings.php on line 72

The method was removed in r20573.

Problem apparently fixed with the upgrade to V6.1

__DESCRIPTION__
In a Forum, setting topic sort order to Topic (Ascend/Descend) results in an error screen (see pic2). This is true for global and Forum-specific settings (see pic1). As far as I can determine, the suggested actions have been completed (Installer, corruption, DB credentials). Also, the current BugReport only references an email address rather than the details shown for other reports on the page.

__PageText__
An error occured while performing the request.

Things to check:

1. Did you complete the Tiki Installer?
2. Is your database corrupt? Please see how to repair your database
3. Are your database credentials accurate? (username, database name, etc in
db/local.php)
__EndText__

Request this be corrected within the current development cycle (v6.x), ver 5.4 if possible or... point me to a fix if this is a configuration issue or, if needed, I may be able to incorporate a code fix.

I created multiple forums and when I try to sort by name (asc) or name (desc), it doesn't seem to work.

The thread options - "Style: plain, threaded, headers only" "Sort" and "Search" - are missing in trunk (noticed at r22445), even when "Display thread configuration bar." is checked on the forum admin page. I can set the thread options per-forum if I activate that preference on admin forums, but still the config bar doesn't show up for forum users.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
When user replies to a forum the pagination changes so that only shows 2 posts:
The topic post and the first reply

It still shows only 2 replies per page don't respecting the configuration for the forum ( 10 replies per page, 20, etc ).

Say I find a nice/useful forum post and I want to email it to someone, it is very long for no (apparent) good reason.

In the "last forum posts" module, the URL is like this: (which is OK)
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=1&comments_parentId=438

But if I find that same link from here:
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=1

It is:
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=438&topics_threshold=0&topics_offset=0&topics_sort_mode=commentDate_desc&topics_find=&forumId=1

We've been using the forum notifications ("email this address for any postings to this forum"), but would like to start exercising more fine-grained control over these notifications. The "Watch" concept appears to be exactly what we need, but some of the behavior I am seeing is confusing and may be contradictory to the docs.

According to the Tiki Docs on Watches, there are three kinds associated with forums:

1. A Watch for a Forum. Any new topic/thread posted should notify this user. I'm assuming it is represented by forum_post_topic associated with forum id within the Mail Notifications listing.

2. A Watch on a Forum Topic. Any new posts to that specific Topic/thread will notify user. Assuming forum_post_thread, associated with the topic's ID.

3. A Watch on Forum Topics & Threads. Any postings within that forum, be it Thread or Replies, will be sent. Assuming forum_post_topic_and_thread associated with the forum ID.

The problem I'm seeing:
* Some people have established forum_post_topic and forum_post_topic_and_thread on a specific forum
* Different user has posted to a forum, and he is set to watch that topic/thread (from_post_thread).
* People respond to his post
* The only people receiving notifications are a union between forum_post_topic and forum_post_topic_and_thread.
* I expected the notifications to be a union of the original author (forum_post_thread, on that thread) and forum_post_topic_and_thread (on that forum).
* In other words, the original author asked to watch his topic, but he received no notifications of posts/responses. Additionally, people who have asserted forum_post_topic on that forum are receiving updates, when I would expect they only receive notifications of his original topic post, not the subsequent responses.

Thanks,
Josh

Users with the proper permission should be able to delete their own posts and unreplied topics in forums.

At the moment, only users with ''tiki_p_admin_forum'' permission and the forum moderators can delete posts and topics, but this also gives total control over the forums, something not desirable for regular users.

This permits mailing-list-like functionality.

After, adding or removing a user from a group dictates which forums they can read and get notifications for.

Maybe we should use the newsletter functionality as it already handles group inclusions and individual opt-outs...

Like newsletters, it should be possible for people to remove themselves from a mailing. Better than 1.9.7 newsletters, it should also be possible for the admin to see who removed themselves.

We have a mechanism that collect the post from the Tikiwiki-devel to the forum26.

Unfortunately refresh the post doesn’t happen automatically but manually (someone has to visit this forum to populate with the last post from the list).

We are in 2021 it should be automatic and help people to follow our activities.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
on tw.o you can set __any__ forumId regardless where the forum topic/thread post actually is saved, e.g.

http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=1&comments_parentId=34093
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=2&comments_parentId=34093
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=3&comments_parentId=34093
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=4&comments_parentId=34093

it's always the same forum topic/thread but the __forumId=3__ is the correct one

on the other hand when you omit the forumId it yells error "No forum indicated"

it would be better when forumId wasn't required in cases when a thread moves to another forum, the old links wouldn't be misleading...

Forums are getting powerful enough to substitute mailing lists on many tiki sites (yahhogroups, etc.). However, notification messages from forums cannot be added easily to local email filters since the subject doesn't contain a label like [[Forum X - site Y] to ease this task.
{CODE()}
[Forum X - site Y]
{CODE}

I guess this must be very easy for a coder (just adding some variable to a smarty template? and adding a call to that variable if needed from the related .php or .tpl file - I just get the rough idea... I wish I could do that myself...)

I've been thinking for ages that this kind of option is REALLY needed, and I thought it should not be much coding effort:

Automonitoring each own's posts, through either:
# Add a select box to monitor each own's forum post or tracker submission at post time, in a "per forum post or tracker item insertion" basis, or
# with a user preference for all forums, or all trackers, blogs, etc..

Still needed...
