When a user attempts to create a blog, the Creator text box is missing and the creator value is not stored when the record is committed.

Users should be able to add their own data in custom fields in tiki-user_preferences.php

Users could publish their phone number, their ICQ address, etc

Sometimes, we want to change a few language strings from the original Tiki. It could be because of regional or community expressions.

Currently, we need to change language.php and/or the template (tpl) files.

It would be better to have a custom language file which would override default text. (Like we do for tpl files). Therefore upgrades would be smoother.

Even better if we could edit this language file via the GUI.

This will make upgrades easier as people won't have to worry about overwriting their enhancements,

Multilingual categories need translations and doing by FTP is not fun.

In 3.0, language/*/custom.php can be managed by the web interface.

Next step is to have this in a wiki page

After upgrading to 1.10, php layers menus from 1.9 are gone from site identity.

Apparently, there are also reports of display of horizontal CSS ("suckerfish") menus not correct. Tag isn't setting horizontal style or getting css/cssmenu_horiz.css so top-level items display vertically rather than horizontally.

I'm using TikiWiki 2.2. and tried to enter the following in the "meta robots" field of the Meta Tags admin panel:

-index
-follow
-index, follow

As per http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Meta%20Tags&redirectpage=Meta%20Tag these seem to be valid values.

Once I pressed "change settings" the parameters I entered were gone. When checking the source code of index.php I found out that no robot instructions have been included.

Looks like saving those data doesn't work.

10 MySQL "create table" commands are not compatible w/ the 3.23.58 version of MySQL

I was running 1.9.9 on a SLES 10 linux box, and we are running MySQL on Novell Netware, MySQL version 4.0.26a.

I tried an upgrade directly over the top of 1.9.9, and I got that error. So, I tried a Clean install on a new database, and I got the same error.

As a troubleshooting step, I tried creating a blank database with the name that it specifies, but then it just gives the following error message
"Unknown column 'bits.translation_bit_id' in 'field list'".

I suspect the installer script isn't creating this table and fields properly.

This error occurs anytime any Page is clicked on, including the main index page. It is a major roadblock to basic functionality.

Hey Guys - I'm new to tikiwiki and have been trying to access the movies on this page -> http://tikiwiki.org/TikiMovies BUT most of the ones referencing USA point to an expired account and the ones mentioning Europe generate an error saying i don't have permission (even when logged in) ..??..

e.g., in the section "Preliminary_Settings", the USA link resolves to this -> http://esc45.midphase.com/suspended.page/ even though the link is coded for this address -> http://www.teluguvaariki.com/sri-addons/tikiwiki_videos/Wiki ... and when i hack the url to just the root domain, i get the same error and suspect this user's account is DOA ... i should note that i tried this a week or so ago and got the same response hence delayed sending this thinking it might clear up by now ..??..

and then when i click on "Editig a wiki page (Europe)" i get error - ie., "You do not have permission to use this feature" ... that link shows as -> http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-listmovies.php?movie=Wiki.swf&action=Display

the same thing happens with the other videos in other sections like "Editing a wiki page", "Image Galleries", "Articles", "FAQs", etc ... the only video link that does work is the 24 minute intro with David Lankes - which is excellent by the way :>)

accordingly, please advise ... i would really like to watch these videos to get up to speed as i'm already having numerous problems ... a) i was able to install okay but the images in the gallery won't upload, or when they do appear to upload, i get a blank screen and see no images ... b) i can't get the secure login link to work with my dedicated server that shares a SSL cert across domains ... thus i installed tikiwiki on avantigroup.com/tiki but for the https i need to make a url callout that is https://secure.cooltea.org/avantigroup.com/tiki but tikiwiki won't let me do this from admin control panel and forces https://avantigroup.com ... ugh ... sure, i could go in and hack the template but this kind of defeats the smarty template approach but i digress ...

thanks in advance for your attention to this matter and on positive side, it does look like you have a lot going for your project and i look forward to diving in further ... to be continued ... cordially, chuck scott

TikiWiki often has drop-down menus with many choices.

Ex.: drop-down list of users, or wiki pages, etc

That is ok for a few hundred. But what if you have 300 000 users or 300 000 wiki pages?

There should be a setting where beyond a certain number, the drop-down become a search box.

We need to decide on our branching & merging strategy.

Background info:
Many of the enhancements on HEAD have been backported to BRANCH-1-9. Most of the other enhancements have been done by Terence (teedog) -> ((tw:ReleaseProcess110))

Do we continue merges from 1.8 to 1.9 to Head?

Do we have devs assigned to merges, or do we ask each dev to do them?

Please see:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=11402375

More discussion needed here...

Deeply nested large file galleries slow to a crawl when file browsing. I have a site with roughly 3000 sub-file galleries. The site is quite fast for browsing wiki pages, but the file galleries have slowed to a crawl. A regular page load takes about .2 seconds. To load a typical file gallery takes about 17 seconds. I believe there is a recursive call to a function that is building the directory structure each time you browse to a new folder that is slowing it down, but I'm not really sure about how to fix it.

Perhaps store the tree in the database and only update it when changes are made to the tree?

Tiki 1.9.x behavior was to show side-by-side diff as default (good). In BRANCH-1-10, many new diffs were added (good). However, now the default diff is "HTML diff" (bad). Please change back to "Side-by-Side diff". Even better would be site-wide and user defaults.

So site admin would determine default diff mode, which could be overriden in user settings. And still pickable for each page.


{THUMB(id=19,url="show_image.php?id=19")}{THUMB}


Here is wht I don't like htmldiff as the default:
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=ReleaseProcess20&compare=1&oldver=21&newver=22&diff_style=htmldiff

When an admin has chosen a particular language for site default language, and he chooses a set of allowed languages for user to switch to that does not include this lang, the language selectors for users will not include the site language.

We need to decide about ((tw:DefaultSettingsChanges)) in 1.10

Some of the new features are much better than previous ones (ex new diff engine). People upgrading their Tiki could conserve their setting. However, new installs should take advantage of the new features.

A note should be added in tiki-install.php This must be low maintenance for Tiki dev team.

In 1.10 now we can set to login as e-mail and display realname wherever possible. But the user wiki page by default is set to 'UserCreate<e-mail>. We should still allow user to create his page with 'UserCreate<username/real name>'.

The recommended behaviour should be if user chooses e-mail to be private or it could be if admin sets to disaply realname wherever possible, then it should use 'UserCreate<realname>' other cases it can be based on e-mail.

Unable to delete a file gallery created with admin user. I select the gallery and click the delete icon yet the gallery remains listed.

The directory "templates_c" is no longer contained in the installer zip file in versions 2.0 or 2.1. An error occurs when trying to run tiki-installer.php indicating that directory does not exist.

The installer also omits the directories "maps" and "mods" but it is unclear whether these directories are still required in this version (taken from the documentation on settingg directory permissions)

I keep on getting logout from admin although I am still trying to edit.

Either the time is too short, less than 5 minutes, or the activity detection isn't working properly.

maybe affects BRANCH-1-9 as well.

Below is a bounce message when Tiki sends notification emails from tikiwiki.org (watch feature). I altered some the emails & domain names.

Tiki already shows the category and/or category path when listing wiki pages. I would like to also display the category information in search results.

This would help end-users determine the relevancy of the search result.

I would like Tiki to display each item's freetags when display the search results. This would help end-users determine the relevancy of each item.

for users with tiki_p_wiki_view_comments perm only, it displays the ~np~[comment]~/np~ link on the wiki page bar even when no comments there yet to read, so clicking it does literally nothing...
