Perhaps account used to fetch is no longer subscribed to SourceForge.net?

I don’t receive anything from dev since we move it to Tiki19.

Too frequently, when you want to do some stuff at i18n.t.o, you get stuck with:

{CODE()}
Fatal error: Class 'Table_Plugin' not found in /www/htdocs/w00ec2fb/lib/wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_fancytable.php on line 11
{CODE}

something similar happens when you enable interactive translation and attempt to go to any admin panel.

There are --2-- 1 issue--s-- of icons alignment for ISO (safari) you can see at https://tiki.org/Wishlist-Triage-Team

* social network alignment
* --translation action button--

{img fileId="1623" thumb="box"}

{img fileId="1624" thumb="box"}

You may need to be logged in to see the issue.

~~#F00:Update~~ : The translation icon I now properly aligned on Safari.

I was attempting to send a single message through tw.o inter-user messaging system to chibaguy, dthacker, luci, marclaporte, mlpvolt, ricks99 (with or without spaces among the names)
All those user names are ok.
I got the message "not valid user" (or similar, translated from another lang), but no message on which user was not valid.
I would have expected the message to be sent to all the other users, and to see the name of the user with problems.

I sent the message to each user, one by one, and realized that the problem was that mlpvolt didn't allow to receive inter-user messages, not that his username was wrong.
A better initial error message would be desirable..., for better user experience of inter-user messaging

If you take a close look at a long bug report like my "umbrella bug report", you'll see that it bears so many comments, their display gets paginated. That's a good idea. But one would expect that the first comment on page "2" is one following the last on page "1".

But that isn't the case... The last on page 1 is dated August 31st, the first on page 2 is from August 22, 2020...

And yes, I did reload the page to be sure that I do not see old data...

If you click (two times...) in order to sort the Wishlist by modification date descending (btw., IMHO this should be the default...), the alleged latest edits are reported to be from Dec. 21. I have opened modified two other bug reports this year, and the list of recent changes shows them, but somehow they are not listed at the top of the Wishlist, at least not above Dec. 21 ?! See screenshot...

Attached images are now broken on wiki page where they are used see:

https://doc.tiki.org/Currency-Amount-Tracker-Field
https://doc.tiki.org/Manager
http://doc.tiki.org/PluginMemberPayment

The images are here (example: https://doc.tiki.org/tiki-download_wiki_attachment.php?attId=51) the code that display them is broken.
{CODE()}{img attId=51}{CODE}

It is not possible anymore to navigate (browse gallery) when uploading an image in this tracker. (tested on Safari and Chrome)

It take a lot of time to display the galleries (at first I though I was stuck) then once the galleries are displayed when you choose one you got an error:
{CODE()}
Fatal error: Uncaught --> Smarty: Not matching {capture}{/capture} in 'layout_view.tpl' <-- thrown in /var/www/virtual/dev.tiki.org/html/vendor_bundled/vendor/smarty/smarty/libs/sysplugins/smarty_internal_runtime_capture.php on line 139
{CODE}

__To reproduce go to https://dev.tiki.org/tiki-list_file_gallery.php?galleryId=13?filegals_manager=area_5e4e4e6e2e81e directly.__

I can't upload images any more to wiki pages at doc.tw.o since upgraded to tiki4.
Using firefox 3.5.4 under GNU/Linux

Can anybody confirm on other OS or browsers?

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
The parameter thumb="box" is not applied anymore.

The sample below should be a thumbnail not a full screen image.

{img fileId="1215" thumb="box"}

Please see bonus point section of ((Ease Importance Priority))

I've seen the gorgeus work done with jquery to allow re-sorting data in tables at wiki pages when using the ((doc:PluginFancyTable))

That would be also awesome if enabled in the ((doc:PluginTrackerList))...

This way, we would even allow the conflict between cache and sorting for anons... (see this other report [bug2898] )

Tiki has a way to create "user" plugins with: https://doc.tiki.org/Plugin+Alias

At https://doc.tiki.org/tiki-admin.php?page=textarea or on the instance I created:
Go to Admin, Control Panels => Editing and Plugins => Plugin Aliases.
Create Aliases (or edit) and click on "Plugin parameter documentation" you will see a new form with checkboxes.

This happen on Safari 14.1.2 on Mac OSX but not on Chrome

The "Safe" checkbox overlap with text.

I've been thinking about this quite a lot lately.

When I create a ticket and I type the first letter of my ticket, I'm suggested previous and existing ticket based on a filtering of my typing. But this is not useable at all and likely no-one look at it. As proof, we have a lot of duplication. See my screenshot below this is not useable.

Hi,

Recurrent problem since 4.0. already reported, seems to had been solved, so may be it's a regression. To test.

The sort command (by clicking into header) leads to a crash.

Before we got an SQL error, now the current selection is cleaned.

__Important details :__
* not tested (again) for each column in "table header"
* not tested for various selections of tracker items
* Sure : after a selection of items (content of selection not empty normally without importance : category feature and feature requests for all), a click on date column header which runs a sort command leads to an empty page for a new search.

I am quite sure that an error still occurs into the sort SQL command, but the error is kept and a locate to new search is made.

__What I am going to do :__
* Test for the not tested various conditions (already done six month ago)
* Test on my development version 6.x with xdebug (show the requests, firebug and eclipse)
* Check the SQL request(s)
__
Then write here the report __

Say I include a bunch of pages in one larger page.

I click edit, and find that it's an included page. I should be able to edit directly that included page (assuming I have permissions), a bit like ((doc:section edit))



Benefits:
*Each page has independent history.
*They can be edited in parallel.



__Can page renames also survive inclusions?__

We get {CODE()}Indexing failed while processing “5578” (type comment) with the error “analyzer [sortable] not found for field [sort]”{CODE} on this site.

Hmm, temporary issue? Seems gone after couple of seconds I filled this bug report.

Ah, nope, just replaced by "all shards failed" error while saving this bug report now.

Every time I add a new item in the tracker I get this type of error message shown:
(I didn't see it yesterday):
{QUOTE()}
Indexing failed while processing XXX (type YYY) with the error "normalizer [sortable] not found for field [sort]
{QUOTE}

In this specific case, the exact messages were:

{CODE()}

I posted this on the Features/Usability forum pn tw.o, but it seems to be coming down to a bug or a setting.

We've been wrestling with Internal Server Error 500 for several months. We are transferring the content of a static HTML site to a TW site.

At first, we thought it had to do with the length of documents or reserved words or special characters. All of that may still be true, but what I find after exploring the Web a little is that it has to do with script failure. Apache thinks something is screwy in the content being fed to it.

Most recently, I tried to get the TW sql module to work. I set up the DSN per the instructions on doc.tw.o , assigned permissions to a group,then created a test page. I inserted one line,

OPEN CURLY BRACE SQL CLOSE CURLY BRACE (db=>memberlist) SE (NO SPACE)LECT count(*) FROM members OPEN CURLY BRACE SQL CLOSE CURLY BRACE,

then hit Preview and got Error 500 immediately. (Obviously, I've substituted words for characters like the curly brace and space. I did that so I wouldn't get Error 500 when I up load this message. And, yes, I know "up load" is one word, but if I use one word, it is likely to fail.)

We have previously gotten the Error 500 message when words like 'up load' and 'se lect' (as noted above) were in the text of the page. When those words are removed or altered, the page up loads.

It tends to happen more often when pages are long (that may be psychological. You remember the BIG failures.) which, of course, just means the odds are greater that a reserved word is used, if that's the case.

When I tried to up load the above example to tw.o, it failed three times until I had all the curly braces and suspect words broken up. I know others are having this same issue. Here's chibaguy from tw.o on his experience up loading in response to my message. (I've edited for brevity)
---------------------

I tried once to reply to your post and got the 500 error when I had "se lect" in the text (with no space), and then the submit went smoothly when the space was added. A few minutes later I submitted that test post, with "se lect" intact and it also went fine. Meanwhile I found 469 instances of the word at this site, including in wiki pages and forum posts, so obviously a lot of the time having "reserved words" in posts doesn't stop the submit.
...
I've also gotten the 500 error here trying to submit a post, once in a while, but waited a little while and then could submit exactly the same post with no error.
...
I rarely get the error at other Tiki sites I use pretty intensively, but am not sure if my pattern of use just avoids the pitfalls.

------------------------

ricks99 on tw.o leapt on the cut and paste scenario, offering that it might be a text encoding conflict. I've had it fail, as above, with directly entered content as well as pasted content. I'm on a Mac and our host is using *nix.

Note that I'm not saying some text encoding issue isn't a part of it. In fact, I kind of suspect there is more than one culprit.

When I get one of these errors, I start reducing the up load by halves, previwing a portion at a time, until I get failure. Once I get failure, I always get failure.

We've up loaded (copy/paste) pages of documents in which one line would cause the failure. Removing the one line makes it OK. Taking the suspect portion and the remaining text and putting it into a comment page works, too.

My suspicion is that there may be a combination of "suspect" words that crosses a threshold and drops the error message on us. Maybe there's a setup issue?

I'd really like to use the SQL plugin. It would solve several problems for us. Thanks,

Bill

This is the third in a series of "HOW DOES IT WORK" articles describing the various systems of the TD Vixens. The first two described the engine cooling and coach heating systems. This article will describe the engine fuel system.

By Tom Picking
ENGINE FUEL & ELECTRICAL

When I first got my Vixen it was hard to start. The problem got worse until I was afraid to go anywhere. I spent several weeks studying the system and talking to other owners about what might be wrong. I tried many "fixes" hoping they would solve the problem but nothing helped. I learned a lot about the system over those weeks with the help of several people and only after fully understanding "HOW IT WORKS" was I able to find and correct the problem. VIN 0050 is stock with 110,000 miles and starts easily even after being idle for weeks. Yours should, too!

The BMW engine's Bosch fuel injection pump, in my opinion, is a work of art! It is completely mechanical using no electricity (except for the fuel shut off valve) or electronics. It is a very complex system and adjustment or repair of the fuel injection pump should be left to professionals. But if we understand howthe total system works, we should be able to determine if the problem is in the pump or some other component of the system that we can fix ourselves.

In order for a diesel engine to start and run it needs three things: Air, fuel, and heat. It is also very important to make sure that no air can mix with the fuel until the fuel gets into the combustion chamber.
AIR AND HEAT

When the starter cranks the engine, air is sucked in and compressed by the pistons. When air is compressed, it gets very hot, hot enough to ignite fuel if it is present. On very cold days the engine and the air being drawn in are much colder making it difficult for the air to reach the temperature required for ignition. This is where glow plugs come in. They are actually small electrical heaters inside each combustion chamber. They look something like a spark "plug" and when turned on they get so hot they actually "glow". The glow plugs only come on during the initial start up sequence and the amount of time you should wait before trying to start the engine is determined by the engine electronics based on the temperature of the engine. Maximum ON time is about 15 seconds. The "WAIT TO START" light on the dash indicates the glow plugs are being commanded on and the engine should not be cranked till they have had a chance to do their job. If the glow plugs are not working, the engine will still start (except on very cold days) but only with increased cranking times.
AIR AND FUEL

Air in the fuel before it is injected into the engine is a bad thing. The injector pump must be able to develop very high pressure in order to force the fuel into the combustion chamber and if air is mixed with the fuel, this high pressure cannot be achieved.

The injector pump is actually two pumps in one. The first is a low pressure priming pump that floods the primarypump chamber. Any air in this chamber is forced out of a drain line at the top of the chamber along with excess fuel flow from the priming pump. This drainline is common with the drain lines connected to the injectors in each cylinder. If any of these lines leak while the engine is off air will enter the system and fuel will drain backward through the fuel line and empty the primary chamber of the injector pump. The result is hard starting (delayed while the priming pump is filling the primary chamber) but otherwise a normal-running engine.

If there is a leak in the fuel line or the fuel filter between the injector pump and the fuel tank, air will be drawn in by the suction of the injector pump and, depending on the amount of air, the engine may start but will not run correctly under load or high speed. As reported by Charles Rausch (TD 0106) in December's issue of Fox Prints, this same symptom can be experienced if there is a severe restriction in the fuel line such as a clogged fuel filter or a clogged fuel tank filler cap air breather vent.

You can inspect the fuel entering the pump by checking the clear (after 12 years mine is yellow) plastic line connecting the fuel filter and the pump. If you see bubbles in this line while the engine is running or cranking there is a fuel line problem. If you see a large bubble in the line after the engine has been off for several minutes, this is an indication of a drain line problem and that fuel is draining backwards through the fuel line to the tank. If you tap the line, with an indication of air in it, you can watch which side the air bubbles up. That will cut the investigation in half.

Between the tank and the injector pump is a fuel filter. The stock filter has a special manual priming pump built into the head of the filter. Turning the selector head of the filter pump to "RUN" bypasses the internal check valve and makes it easier for the engine injector pump to draw fuel. Turning the head of the filter pump to "PUMP" allows manual operation. The engine will run just fine with the filter pump selected to either position if all the rest of the system is in good condition. Diesel fuel is notorious for dirt and water. The fuel filter is your protection against dirty fuel.

After I learned all of the above, my Vixen still would not start! The problem was that it was not getting fuel because of an electrical problem!

The ignition switch mounted on the steering column (a standard GM part) has several electrical contacts that perform various functions depending on the position of the key in the ignition. One of the functions is to energize the fuel shutoff solenoid valve that allows the flow of fuel to the injector pump. One of the first things I did was to check the voltage to the solenoid valve with the key in the ON position, it was OK. What I didn't realize until several weeks later is that a different set of contacts energize this valve when the key is in the START position. These contacts were defective and when the key was in START and the engine was cranking, the solenoid valve was off and no fuel was available!!!!! This condition can be measured with a voltmeter which eliminates the guess work. A new ignition switch solved the problem.
