Hi,

!!!This problems concerns quite all table and forms (in tables or not) with fixedwidth themes.
This is the reason while it appear in so many functions.

!!!As for most of tables in many functions, with "twist" (no other style tested) the tables of the middle (C2) either overlap C3 or are behind C3 and sometimes C2. They just have a little part outside the 990px large (in twist as the width is written into css it can't be changed by prefs).

__~~#F00:The corresponding functions are then completely unusable.
~~__

Here I write this for the example elementary function "add an element to a structure" givin in screenshots joined documents

Three scrennshots proposed are :
#What a user see
#The limit of the div as shown by firebug
#The whole div zone hidden

Apologies, I've some how managed to enter this twice.

Please see [http://dev.tiki.org/item4247]

Forum replies are difficult to read because there is no indentation when using theme TheNews on v6.7 (also affected version 4.3)

Using Firebug with Firefox v12.x established that the style value "padding-left" is set as follows ...
~pp~
#tiki-centre div 2px from thenews.css line 382 which reads #tiki-centre div { padding: 3px 2px; }
Over rides
.sub_comment 20px from layout.css line 1539 which reads .sub-comment { padding-left: 20px; }
~/pp~

We also notice that the vertical alignment could be improved upon.

Following patch has been applied via Admin -> Look & Feel - - Custom CSS and is being successfully used on our v6.7 system.

Regards,

Martin

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.

Comments are good in this respect

There are three problems with the "Add messages from this email to the forum" when using notifications. Fixing these allows seamless integration with an email address without a separate receiver list.

# Outgoing email forum notifications should use a subject format that can be parsed into the right thread if someone replies to it if "Add messages from this email to the forum" is set.
# Outgoing email forum notifications should use the "Originating email address for mails from this forum" address so replies go to the right box (this should have worked, but didn't for me without a fix....)
# Replies have the "Re:" removed before posting to find the right thread. This needs to be added back or the resulting notification email is confusing.
# The "From" on notifications has the posters name while the email address is the forum address. This is confusing to users.

The fixes are only about 5 lines. I've attached the fixed notificationemaillib.php and commentslib.php. Fixes are marked with "AJH".

On version 6.7 and 6.9 TW throws error "No thread indicated" when clicking on page title under certain circumstances.

The page title will be the name of the forum, for example "Discussion Forum" and the url underlying page title is of the form
[http://demo.tiki.org/6x/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?topics_offset=1&forumId=1&comments_parentId=1].

To recreate the error execute the following sequence of actions

Forum -> List Forums

Pick any forum which is present, for example "Discussion Forum".

At this stage the url underpinning the page title "Discussion Forum" is [demo.tiki.org/6x/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=1]

Click on any topic within the Forum, for example "Test Topic" and the page loads correctly showing url [http://demo.tiki.org/6x/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=1&topics_sort_mode=lastPost_desc&forumId=1].

At this stage the url underpinning the page title has changed to [http://demo.tiki.org/6x/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=1&topics_sort_mode=lastPost_desc&forumId=1] although the title is unchanged reading "Discussion forum".

Click on third item in breadcrumb trail "Test topic" and the page reload as expected.

However the url underpinning the page title is now changed again reading [http://demo.tiki.org/6x/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?topics_offset=1&topics_sort_mode=lastPost_desc&forumId=1&comments_parentId=1].

Now clicking on the page title results in error message page "No thread indicated" where the reasonably expect result would be the list of topics within the Discussion Forum.

The "Go back "button works and clicking on the second item in the breadcrumb "Discussion forum" does correctly return the user to url [http://demo.tiki.org/6x/tiki-view_forum.php?forumId=1].

It would seem this issue has been resolved in v10.0, since the last item of the breadcrumb trail has no underpinning url, so the sequence described here can not occur.

Can anybody suggest an easy fix for this bug in version 6.x, please?

Thanks,

Martin

This tracker is made to help filtering and sorting the features vs categories vs options we need to tag a bug/regression/wish with.

When an email message is integrated into a forum thread, it's currently impossible to trace its origin. For that reason, it'd be useful to keep the email headers somewhere.

For example, if a spam message pops up, it'd be much easier to find the weak link in spam protection.

When a thread starter has written his post but forgotten to write a thread title, presently the post's text is lost when the system asks for a title.

No written text should ever be lost by Tikiwiki.

This should be migrated to the community site, and handled with ((doc:Organic groups)) and ((doc:User Trackers))

The last forum post module will not display any post unless you are logged in as admin.

This tracker item could not be found

The necessity of adding a link to last forum in forums tabular view will be obvious enough to people who know forums.

When the Wiki feature is disabled, some links are created pointing to nowhere.

Example:
http://www.vic-fontaine.com/forum/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=13&topics_sort_mode=lastPost_desc&forumId=1

First link points to:
http://www.vic-fontaine.com/forum/tiki-index.php?page=Fw: LOVE WORDING WALLPAPERS

"This feature is disabled: feature_wiki"

Right now, there's no way to find unreplied to posts in the forum. Having searched through your own support forums, this is definitely something you guys could use so that people can take a crack at answering previously unanswered questions.

The lock feature for thread on the forum doesn't work.
Anybody allows to add a post can still do it on lock thread even if the user has only post authorization.

If one gives a forum topic a very long title, it can mess up the screen formatting. Here's how:

The forums have a menu that allows one to move a posting from one topic to another.

That pulldown menu has entries that are topic titles.

If a topic title is extremely long it

We can already send in content to Tiki via email:

add/edit wiki
add articles
via tiki-admin_mailin.php

and add forum posts via
tiki-admin_forums.php


joe@joe.com sends an email. The system recognizes that joe@joe.com belongs to the user "joe" and adds the tracker/wiki edit/forum post/article as if the user joe had logged in and added it via the web form.


Make this optional for security reasons. If someone spoofs the email address, he could send in content for someone else.

I am using tikiwiki for a project at work, and one of the features we needed was the "mail-in" forum posting. The way we use this is a sales rep will e-mail an issue to a PDL. One of the e-mail addresses in the PDL is the pop account for one of the forums for our site. The site moderator reads the new "post" (e-mail) and decides which forum the discussion belongs in and moves the post to the "correct" forum.

The problem is that once moved, replies via the PDL do not follow the original thread (to the moved forum). The best case is that they end up in the "mail-in" forum location.

It's fine to set a post as an "Announcement" However, it does NOT go to the top like "Sticky" but in both cases making it "Locked" replaces both "Announcement" and "Sticky".

RIght now, it appears that you can only move entire threads. This doesn't allow you to move a single post that's attached to a thread, even though just the one post needs to be relocated, usually to it's own thread.

I created a new [http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=27220&forumId=17|forum for LDAP & Active Directory], but I am having trouble moving all the old messages to this forum.

It is possible to do from tiki-view_forum.php but it is very time consuming.

If I find a post from the result of a search, I want to be able to move from tiki-view_forum_thread.php

See video feature request:

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...)
