Category: Wiki (page view, edit, history, rename, etc)

Please see: ((Extendable meta-data for all features))

Currently I can turn the display of page names on or off in the admin panel.

I would like to hide the page name on some pages but not all.

Thus a per page override would be nice, similar to the per page override of contributors display.

Thank you,

Hello.
Today I found an error in "tiki-editpage.php".
The error is on the Line 1092.

Plugin Lastmod does not default to current page when page name is not specified.

The documentation for the [http://doc.tiki.org/PluginLastmod|Lastmod Plugin] says if you don't specify the page name, Lastmod defaults to the current page.

From forum [https://tiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=40353&post_reply=1&comments_threshold=0&comments_reply_threadId=43856&comments_offset=0&thread_sort_mode=commentDate_asc&comments_per_page=20&comments_grandParentId=40353&thread_style=commentStyle_threaded#form|thread] posted by user TomJarvis:

I have now tested:
{LASTMOD()/}
and
{LASTMOD(page=HomePage)/}
in the HomePage of Tiki versions 2 through 9.

In each version of Tiki, the plugin with the pagename specified worked correctly (other than the '%0' in Tiki 2 mentioned in the documentation).

When Lastmod is coded without specifying the page name, the current date and time are returned in Tiki versions 2 through 6, and nothing at all is returned in Tiki versions 7 through 9.

There appears to be a problem with how the Lastmod plugin get the page name when it is not specified.

This is a bug that could be reported. The workaround is to specify the page name.

In the source of a wiki page (current or prior version) double quote marks appear as a single character "

However, when viewing the same source in version compare mode, those same double quote marks are shown as the html & quot ; (spaces added to prevent any translation)

Look at the source line beginning ~np~__Spouse1:__~/np~ in the attached screen shots.

TRP-Compare-v4-5 used the following url [http://thereevesproject.org/data/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=Heard_Robert_Brookes_2236&history_offset=0&diff_style=sidediff&show_all_versions=y&compare=Compare&newver=5&oldver=4&paginate=on&history_pagesize=25&source=5]

TRP-Compare-v4-0 came from [http://thereevesproject.org/data/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=Heard_Robert_Brookes_2236&history_offset=0&diff_style=sidediff&show_all_versions=y&compare=Compare&newver=0&oldver=4&paginate=on&history_pagesize=25&source=0]

Sorry, but these pages will not be accessible as our site isn't available at that level of permission to non members, but I thought I should include them to point at the problematic screens.

NB All the changes to this page now being viewed were made several months ago using v4.3

Perhaps related to existing item HTML line break tags displayed in page source histories [http://dev.tiki.org/item3883], which are evident if the source of other than the current version is displayed and compared.

But note the line break tags are not displayed in the source comparison part of the screen where the & quot is found.

These inconsistencies are confusing, but not show stoppers in our upgrade to 6.7

Update--

This issue is obviously wider than the instance I've described above. We now have an example of & quot ; (without the spaces) appearing on a rendered page - look at child 5 Elizabeth on page [http://thereevesproject.org/data/tiki-index.php?page=Reeves_William_3054] which is publicly visible. The source of that page clearly shows double quote marks not html as follows ...
{CODE()}__Probable children of William Reeves and Anne Terrill__:
#((Reeves_Sylvia_3219|Sylvia Reeves)), b. 1792, m. Allan Burton before 1810
#((Reeves_Jennie_3218|Jennie Reeves)), b. c1794, m. Rev. Hardin Burton on 6 Dec 1815
#((Reeves_John_3282|John Reeves)), b. c1796
#((Reeves_Obedience_3217|Obedience Reeves)), b. c1796, m. William Buchanan Burton on 25 Oct 1814
#((Reeves_Elizabeth_3287|Elizabeth "Betsy" Reeves)), b. c1801, m. John Barton on 16 Apr 1822 in Grayson VA
#((Reeves_Anne_3299|Anne Reeves)), b. c1803, m. Terrell Cox
#((Reeves_Terrill_3283|Terrell Reeves)), b. c1807
#((Reeves_Lenoir_3284|Lenoir Reeves)), b. 1808
#((Reeves_Albert_3302|Albert Reeves)), b. c1813
#((Reeves_Gaston_3286|Gaston Reeves)), b. c1814
#((Reeves_William_3285|William Reeves)), b. c1818
#((Reeves_Timothy_3303|Timothy Reeves)), b. 1821
#Unknown Female born after 1820{CODE}

Let me know if this is a discrete issue and whether I should raise a separate ticket for it.

Thx

Conflict detection when page is saved would be nice too. Often happens when people are translating pages.


It should offer disambiguation page...

For example http://dev.tiki.org/Download gives an error but it does contain
{CODE()} (alias(Download)) {CODE}
As you can see here:
http://dev.tiki.org/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=Get+code&source=0

So the page is not found, but when you try to create, you get:
{img fileId="562"}

So clearly it exists...

I feel the need for a tag description field (that could be) associated to each freetag. That'd allow to place a definition (what does this tag mean ? what should it be used for ?) to make it as clear as possible for users to use the tags and know what they mean.

Not sure wether it was possible or not, I posted a message on the forum : http://tiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_parentId=44367&forumId=4

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
When saving a new Wiki page, you get a white Screen of Death.

PHP Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in ... on line 97

In PHP version 5.4 >



There is no reference sign on a function call - only on function definitions. Function definitions alone are enough to correctly pass the argument by reference. As of PHP 5.3.0, you will get a warning saying that "call-time pass-by-reference" is deprecated when you use & in foo(&$a);.

For example, use:

// Right way!
function myFunc(&$arg) { }
myFunc($var);

Rather than:

// Wrong way!
function myFunc($arg) { }
myFunc(&$arg);

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
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.

Docuwiki implements a dynamic (page) Table of Contents. Would be nice in Tiki.

When the table of contents is auto-generated, it requires no knowledge of how to add a maketoc plugin from the user. The ability to hide the TOC frees space for the actual content.

Try at: [https://www.dokuwiki.org/syntax#tables].

See the screencast about dynamic table of content at [http://demo.tiki.org/trunk/tiki-index.php?page=For+Arild]


A new wiki feature could be added, e.g. "Page TOC". If set, a table of (page) contents is automatically generated when viewing a page (when the page has at least one heading).

Not sure how to best integrate this in the GUI.
Should it be a module that the user must assign (to the topbar?), or should the system manage the positioning? The "module" must be active when the "Page TOC" feature is active.

Mass search and replace (tiki-search_replace.php) indicates as if the replace is successful, but string not replaced.

Matches show the right content. But no replacement is done in the wiki pages even if the message reported from tiki is that those pages where updated.

In my case, I did that to replace:
{CODE()}
theme="start"
{CODE}
with
{CODE()}
theme="hot-sneaks"
{CODE}

For future versions 11 ? 12 ?

Hi,

There are several main marked up languages that we know well.

I think that it will be useful to be able to exchange (import, export) documents with other selected marked up languages.

!!I particularly think to two categories :

!!!1- The task and documents managers used by development tools : Eclipse-Mylin Aptana environment and Bugzilla

Remark :
About this category, I redact documents using textile to describe the developments integrated into projects and bugzilla.
This because I have near fifty elementary project developed since 4.0, stabilized at 8.3 and that I am preparing for 10.x. (They remain for most of them available and someones must be adapted - galleries particularly)

!!!2- The wikies
The problem is to exchange data with users of main wiki.

The need is to use the large capabilities of tikiwiki to hold projects management and documentation. But as it is not specialized it cannot be directly used.

!!There are several ways, this is completely opened :
1- Be compatible i/O with textile which is very closed from basic tiki marked up language. This for basic articles.
2- Develop a plugin using tikiwiki as marked up language for Mylin
3- Look farther with a full XSL XSL-Fo (note that with eclipse all marked up supported languages can be exported as XSL-

!!On the way, proposal
1- First : list of major marked up languages for wiki and task managers
2- Links import export existing from one to another
3- Choose the optimum
!!
Aim :
- Prepare use of tikiwiki in project management
- Be compatible with environments as Eclipse to with other project management tools

!!Reason(s)
- Tiki provides a lot of coherent and very useful tools to manage the content of projects (documents and detailed task management, studies) and groupware life and management which is the core of project management (the classical tools for planning are only in my mind a little part). __But it cannot be connected with specialized existing tools and information systems in various businesses. The problem and aim is to prune efficiently tikiwiki into these organizations.

Currently in tiki when a link to a non-existent page is made, the page name is not styled or in any way distinguishable in the HTML and a link is only around a following hard-coded question mark. What I would like to see is to change it so that the page name is in fact the link text and the appearance can be styled via CSS. This would allow a particular theme to use the question mark indicator or a Mediawiki-style "red link" or some other styling for these "edit new page" links.

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

Tiki perms are very fined-grained: great

But when you need to create a lot of items with individual perms, it can be time consuming and human-error prone.

So copying perms from another page (which we know is OK) will be very helpful.

It will also save tons of time since permissions are not inherited.

If you're editing a page and you fail the CAPTCHA or your session expires, your whole edit is lost. Most users expect their browser to have saved the form data, many would know enough to log back in then hit the back button to get back to the form (or at least, hit "back" and copy the data for later pasting after login). This does not work - after a "back" the form is empty!

I'm ranking this bug as priority 7 because it is very serious - data loss and angry users. I think the solution is trivial, too: see below.

If the translation feature i18n is active, in Wiki page history the GUI clashes with other features. Look at the screenshot attached. The small "A" that is visible next to the flag icon of i18n is actually the drop down menu containing all languages (starting with Albaninian, hence the "A".

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

Example:

Links to file attachments via

{file name="file.pdf" desc="FileDesc"}

work well on wiki pages. You'll get the desired link, as expected.

When you now switch to print preview mode you'll get

no such attachment on this page

The PDF generation has a similar bug, BTW.

A user typo whilst creating a structure can create a new page which then isn't (easily) accessed.

Whilst creating a new structure and adding pages with aliases using the "Tree" feature, if hyphen space greater-than rather than simply hyphen greater-than is entered the new page is created without an alias but with a longer that expected page name.

For example
Test_01 -> Page1 creates new page called Test_01 and alias Page1 as expected.
But
Test_02 - > Page2 creates a new page called "Test_02 - > Page2" with no alias.

Accessing this page and removing it is challenging :-))

--(Can't currently create a show instance for you, no database connection available, but I can reproduce this on the demo 18x/system)--

Using the Structures "next page" button from page Test_01 causes a wiki error "Page not found" for "Test_02 - Page2" (sic without greater-than sign).

Likewise wikilink from toc generated on pages within the structure also results in "Page not found".

Adding the plugin listpages with options find="Test_0" to the root of the structure shows the pages as expected.

Note the wikilink URLs generated by toc and listpages are different, but wikilink from listpages also results in the same "Page not found error" for the same page "Test_02----Page2"
