Category: Error

In Tiki survey you have an question type "Heading" where you can set if it will be use as a pagebreak (newpage) and what heading type will be used.

At https://tiki.org/tiki-admin_survey_questions.php?surveyId=8 it started to work well and I had a survey divided in 3 pages. At some point it stopped to work and the all survey is displayed on one page.

I try to diagnose but could get back to the point I have the survey properly displayed in more than one page.

* I try to separate heading (avoiding one after the other)
* I try to reduce the number of pagebreak

When you first define a Newsletter if you set the "Validate email addresses" parameter this, first of all, works fine and in the Subscription screen the "Don't send confirmation mail" is shown and a validation e-mail is sent when a new user is added.

BUT if you go back and Edit the Newsletter - first of all the "Validate email addresses" is NOT ticked when the existing Newsletter details are populated - but reticking it and reSaving the Newsletter does not set the parameter. Looking at the raw database shows that whilst the validateAddr field is set to "y" when the Newsletter is first set up - it is set to NULL once the Newsletter is edited and no matter how many times the Newsletter is edited and resaved the field stays at a NULL value - and obviously the validation process for new users is no longer available.

Editing the raw database with phpMyAdmin is the only way to reset the field to "y"

The newsletter sent using the articleclip function will send broken links (article link and image or files from tiki).

The link for the article look like relative "http://./article1" (as you read the newsletter into a mail browser or a mail application it will go nowhere) instead of absolute "http://www.mywebsite/article1".

Same for pictures added using the file gallery system "http://./tiki-download_file.=
php?fileId=3D1374".

Note: It seams it was broken between the 29/04/13 and the 30/04/13. (i check previous received newsletter). But i couldn't track the change that has done the regression.

Update: I create an instance and tested on it. The article title link seams to be back. Also external image (http source) are now displayed however, internal files/image are not displayed properly as they show just fine on the article itself: http://bsfez-11581-4768.show.tikiwiki.org/tiki-edit_article.php?articleId=1

And in the preview of sending the newsletter:
{img type="fileId" fileId="483" thumb="y" noDrawIcon="n"}

Do you need more info ? {sign user="Bsfez" datetime="2013-11-03T07:02:33+00:00"}

~~#F00:Update:~~ I deleted the previous instance and recreated the use case. It is still not working for me. I tried with an internal image directly added to the newsletter using the creditor and the "article clip" plugin. Same.

I include you and Pascal so you received the newsletter and can see the problem i'm talking about. Please note, WYSIWYG editor is used and the articles header are done using CKeditor only. Also the newsletter editor is WYSIWYG (no wiki syntax anywhere). May be this is related. {sign user="Bsfez" datetime="2013-11-08T10:32:42+00:00"}

There seems to be a boundry condition in processing the HTML version of a newsletter. if the following appears in a newsletter:

~pp~

No matter which side of the door the dog or cat is on, it is the wrong side.

any tex following it is dropped. However, all of the text does appear in the plaintext version. Adding or removing any characters causes the text to appear.

When a newsletter is sent, at the end of the list of emails that it has been sent to, a 'completion' text message is shown and an option provided to download a log of that send (where download actually means list in a vanilla' white screen) ie

Newsletter successfully sent to 4 users.
Download Log File


However if newsletter throttling is set then after the final email is sent this completion sequence is no longer shown which is very confusing for the user who is left in doubt whether the send is finished

Newsletter fails to be sent properly if article clipping is involved

We tried to send a newsletter, after the discussion held on
https://tiki.org/Roundtable+Meeting+2016+07

I tested the newsletter sending with Newsletter 6 (currently renamed to "Tiki News" after that ((tw:TRM)), with 850+ people subscribed to it) and with Newsletter 7 (test, with a few emails for testing).

e.g.
https://tiki.org/tiki-send_newsletters.php?nlId=7

It had some features/preferences related to clipping:
https://tiki.org/tiki-admin_newsletters.php?nlId=7&cookietab=2#anchor2
^
(X) Allow clipping of articles into newsletter
Clip articles published in the past number of days: 30
Article types to clip: (and there were some of them: 3 exactly)
^

I did send a test newsletter (nlId=7) and just one email was sent for me, with no clipped articles (even if they were shown as html tags in the tiki send newsletter UI at sending time).
None of the other 6 emails address seemed to receive that email message.

I did unselect all the clipping features, tried again, and I got more email messages (if not all of them, mayube some servers take longer).

HTH

After a recent CVS update, the From: address of newsletter e-mails changed from the configured SenderEmail address to (apparantly) the address of the logged on user sending the newsletter. Since a changing number of users can send newsletters, it is difficult for recipients to configure their e-mail filters to accept all of them. The change caused a number of newletters to fail delivery.

When creating a newsletter item, both HTML and plain text versions are requested. The plain text information is empty if the newsletter is edited.

Newsletter sends text and html and no way to choose only one

Reproduced here:
https://tiki.org/tiki-send_newsletters.php?nlId=7

Wasn't tehre a way to choose that in previous tiki versions? (tiki12 probably or earlier, I used that preference)

Update:
This is affecting also the newsletter sending from tiki.org, to communicate new releases to the subscribed users, and it provides very bad image of the polishness of newsletters in our own servers. {sign user="xavi" datetime="2017-01-10T09:32:11+00:00"}

The problem has already been reported in the forum under [https://tiki.org/forumthread66743-Newsletter-Sent-Attachment?topics_offset=2]
I reproduced it on the demo system for release 18.

Open existing newsletter in demo site
and subscription
start sending
attach a simple .png file
clicked Send Newsletter
Next page shows review of newsletter to be sent, includes "Files" with bullet point
clicked Send
Next page shows "Newsletter successfully sent to 1 users."
The newsletter is received, but no attachment

Auto-eMail is generated to subscriber using template confirm_newsletter_subscription.tpl which contains the following:

In order to confirm your subscription you must access the following URL:
{$url_subscribe}?confirm_subscription={$code}

However,the url_subscribe truncates the php extension in the pagename shown in the email sent to subscriber as follows: tiki-newsletters.ph?confirm_subscription=someString, rather than tiki-newsletters.php?confirm_subscription=someString

Newsletter is generated to all subscribers containing unsubscribe message generated using template newsletter_unsubscribe.tpl which contains the following:

You can unsubscribe from this newsletter following this link:

href="{$url_unsub}">{$url_unsub}

But, the newsletter shows a truncated php extension in the pagename of the url_unsub as follows:

tiki-newsletters.ph?unsubscribe=someString, rather than tiki-newsletter.php?unsubscribe=someString

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
Clicking the unsubscribe link in a newsletter email always results in the error "Your request to unsubscribe failed", even though the subscription record and code exist in the database. The subscription is never removed.

Tiki 29.x (confirmed). Likely affects all versions where the $inputConfiguration array is present with this filter.

!!Steps to Reproduce
#Enable the Newsletters feature
#Create a newsletter and add a subscriber (email-based, non-user)
#Send a newsletter edition
#Open the received email and click the unsubscribe link, e.g.:
#https://example.com/tiki-newsletters.php?unsubscribe=bfaea1b540a27940684c99854449549c
#The page displays: "Your request to unsubscribe failed"
#The subscription record remains in tiki_newsletter_subscriptions — nothing was deleted

In tiki-newsletters.php, the $inputConfiguration array declares the unsubscribe parameter with a 'bool' filter:
{CODE()}
$inputConfiguration = [
[
'staticKeyFilters' => [
'unsubscribe' => 'bool', //post
// ...
],
],
];
{CODE}

There is a legal concern with so I will commit a fix right away.
Non-functional unsubscribe links may violate anti-spam regulations (CAN-SPAM, GDPR)

To send a newsletter you could use a previously "Sent Edition" and edit it. (it used to work in Tiki9 and T10 for sure).

Actually you still can, the newsletter preview will show you the edited newsletter with changes properly. BUT it is still the previous newsletter that will be sent has none of you changes was saved.

The feature may be not THAT important but the consequences are (imagine some of us have thousands of newsletter subscribers) so i categorise it as very important.

To reproduce on the instance:
Enter as admin (12345)
Go to Newsletter -> Subscriptions -> Add your email
Go to -> Send Newsletter
Click on tab "Sent Editions"
Click on the Subject on the last one
Edit anything you want -> send the modified edition of the newsletter.
Check your mailbox, you will see a the previous newsletter edition, not the new one with your editing.

In message list and for each message.

When I use newserver "news.mozilla.org" , I get several:

Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in lib/pear/NNTP.php on line 477
Notice: Undefined offset: 2 in lib/pear/NNTP.php on line 477

at the top of the page.

And in the listing of the groups, I get:

Warning: Smarty error: math: parameter x is empty in lib/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1095
Warning: Smarty error: math: parameter x is empty in lib/smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

I didn't set username & password. Not sure if this is relevant.

Maybe it's just that the index is not run (or not finished successfully, or some related issue?)
Just in case, I drop this report.

This tracker has no category for bugs related to the structures option of tikiwiki.

Hello,

I can act that, with new version of the dev dev.interface:

- No efficient access to "list yours" (empty list with query error)
- No filter which don't reach "query error"

No more tool efficient to manage the report "bugs ans wish"

I stop till I don't receive a message telling that we can access to :
- filters on messages
- find my own message

Waiting,

Because I can't work without these tools

I have waited two days.

What happens ?

When Using IE 7.0

Also if you click on the Slideshow button, it opens a ie window but it shows only the "Close" button and no other image.

I have seen in Tiki File Gallery site a differente approach that may solve the problem. If any one knows...please share

If the WYSIWYG editor is not enabled, there are no paragraph breaks displayed in the entered text. Further, if you enable the WYSIWYG, future blog entries are fine but you cannot fix the text you entered before.

#press PREVIEW to verify and press SAVE after that.
#verify that posting went well
#now reply to this initial posting by typing a few words and press PREVIEW to see that preview works fine
#now press SAVE and get the error message __
Notice: this variable may not be empty: $_POST["thread_sort_mode"]__
#wiki-button "back" leads to another __error message saying "no thread"__ or something like that (I can only see the german text "Kein Thread").

When logged in as a regular user this procedure applies and shows errors. When logged in as admin save after preview is fine.

I have duplicated this problem a couple times, but I can't figure out what is producing it.

When I create a tracker and assign admin privledges to it, I can see all of the field names at the top in tiki-view_tracker. However, when I log in as a non-admin user, tiki-view_tracker will display all the data, but the field names stop after about 6 fields. This is with explicitnames turned on.

For instance, if I have field
Name
Date
Time
Place
User
Hobbies
Children

Then Name, Date, Time, Place, User and Hobbies show up up in tiki-view_tracker, but the other headings disappear. I should note that when create and modif date are selected to be shown, these column names always show up too, but they will shift to be where the other column names should be, so they would be on top of Hobbies and Children, and then there are no heading for the create and modif date, as well as any other data that is displayed (all the data for these fields still shows up, but it doesnt have the field names above.

I have no idea why this is happening. I have explicit names and mirror tables set up for this tracker.

The field names always show up for any user logged in with admin privledges, but disappear for users who do not have admin privledges.

Any ideas why this is happening?
