Category: Dogfood on a *.tiki.org site

Module months_links is expected to show links to the months in the last year where posts occurred, but also display a link to the previous years, so that the user can click to the previous year to list the months that hold posts, etc.

The user expected to be able to list all months where there were posts, from the previous years, but it only display posts from the last 12 months.

The rows param by default gets the value 10 (like month october, our current month by the time of this writing)
Increasing the value shows more links (from previous years). However, it seems that Value max="-1" (show all posts, with no max limit) doesn't fetch them all.

Monitor emails from tiki.org are presently almost always being sent twice at the same time.

One noticeable difference in the two emails is the following indented text near the top of one email and absent from the other:

If you don't want to receive these notifications follow this link:
http://doc.tiki.org/tiki-user_watches.php?id=####

We do not see this with our own installed Tiki 7.2.

When I click on "Monitor this Tracker" It doesn't appear in the "My watches" section. It would be very nice to have a list of monitored trackers there as it would be quicker to verify. I would actually like to have the option of only seeing my trackers in the "My watches" section without receiving any emails when a change occurs.

Thanks to all volunteers on this !

Similar to [tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=1149|Pass tracker itemID as a parameter to a wiki page, to create a custom-looking tracker rendering] but for input fields.

So designers could make the layout in a wiki page (including html) and place the form elements anywhere.

*[tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=943|Tracker plugin: useable to edit existing tracker info (especially user tracker)]

I miss predefined mathematical functions like "Sum(number_1, number_2 ...)"

When the functions are there I would like a help list (like in for example google spreadsheets) that presents possible names on mathematical functions that can be performed. For example: I type "=S" and the cell presents med with a list of alternatives like

"Sign(number)"
"Sin(number)"
"Sum(number_1, number_2 ...)"

Typically, mouseover is to show more text over a small snippet. To save screen real estate.

So the data in the mouseover will typically be much large than the text. Plus, I may want wiki syntax parsing in the mouse over part.

It is now:
{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
{MOUSEOVER(text=text that goes to mouseover)}
snippet that is moused-over
{MOUSEOVER}
{CODE}

It should be :
{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
{MOUSEOVER(label=snippet that is moused-over)}
text that goes to mouseover
{MOUSEOVER}
{CODE}


Plus, this is a very cool plugin. It should be in main code base, like the THUMB plugin.

Mouseover plugin is cool

Some more stuff to make it cooler:

#Now, it sticky or not. Should be possible to set a number of seconds to stay open. It should stay open as long as my cursor is over the zone.
#If contained text is too long, it overlaps to the bottom (good), but background should extend automatically.
#If body empty, don't make clickable (people mouseover and see nothing)

And make sure URLs are not broken. Report issues as needed.

tiki.org has incorrect canonicals:
{CODE()}
<link rel="canonical" href="https://tiki.org/Paypal%2Baccount%2Bpolicies">
{CODE}

Since these are now in the Google search index, a proper redirect is needed

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:
http://dev.tikiwiki.org/moving_forum_threads_2007-12-31.swf.html

At https://tiki.org/forumthread70022-mpdf-Generates-Black-PDF-docs

Logged, I tried to check the PDF feature by going to the "Thread actions", click on the item "PDF".

It downloaded a blank document onto my computer.

Tested on Tiki24 still here.

Using flash plugin for playing mp3 files was possible, as I could reproduce some weeks ago.
I also documented that on the appropiate doc.tw.o pages:
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/PluginFlash

This was a working example listed from the doc.tw.o page:
http://moviments.net/ilp/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=EntrevistaRadio4&preview=1

{CODE()}
{FLASH(movie=>"tikimovies/multiplayer.swf?url=http://usuaris.tinet.org/mikell/EntrevistaRadio4.mp3&MODE=AUDIO")}{FLASH}
{CODE}

However, after I upgraded to Tiki 2.0, that page stopped working (controls from multiplayer.swf are shown, but no mp3 is listened).

Maybe a lateral effect of all html sanitization mesures introduced in tiki 2.0?

If you put two (and possible more) color tags in one line (maybe to mark one word in red and the other one in blue) it doesn't work.

Example:
~~#FF0000:text~~ text ~~#FF0000:text~~

~~#FF0000:text~~ text ~~#0000FF:text~~

~~red:text~~ text ~~#FF0000:text~~

~~#FF0000:text~~ text ~~blue:text~~

~~red:text~~ text ~~blue:text~~

would produce:
text~~ text ~~#FF0000:text

text~~ text ~~#0000FF:text

text~~ text ~~#FF0000:text

text~~ text ~~blue:text

text~~ text ~~blue:text

in all red letters


an example can be found here:
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=UserPageDesertWolf

Say I am on dev.tw.o and I want to follow-up with a user, I end up on his tiki-user_information.php?userId=xxx __here__.

I should have a link to his page on the master.

Or else, users will end up with user-messages on various *.tikiwiki.org sites.

See my Firefox 59.0.3 (64-bit) screenshot:
{img src="https://dev.tiki.org/tiki-download_item_attachment.php?attId=454"}

I complained here and there about losing editing and I think now I’ve narrowed it a bit... At least for the forum.

On Safari, Mac freshly logged from with in the forum (no perspectives change) my first post of the day (new session ?) is never saved properly. The saving wheel is displayed but the page is refreshed without my post.

Once this done I can save "normally" my post.

Navbar overlapping tablesorter heading row (col titles, filter and col select icons)
As reported by Gary in the devel list:
https://tiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?threadId=60288

See it reproduced here:
(you may need to use Chrome or Firefox to view this .webm (VP8) video in your browser)

{mediaplayer src="https://tiki.org/display1083" style="native" type="video/webm"}

It would be *great* to have way to generate profile YAML from an existing Tiki site.

Any idea what could cause "Never logged in" message on all hovered user names pop-ups on tiki.org and doc.tiki.org while it works just fine on dev.tiki.org and shows correctly Last login ...bla bla... for them?

Mystery to me :-o

Some difference in the site setup?

luci

If I have a login box module, and I visit tiki-login_scr.php, I get two places to login

Same thing with error pages which offer to login.

On https://tiki.org/tiki-admin.php?page=intertiki#contentadmin_interwiki-2 when new records need to be added it does not save the item when "Apply" button is clicked. It just reloads the page.

Reproduced on show:
Login as
admin
12345

Then try to add a new entry like this:
nexttest ABC123 127.0.0.2 test

It will fail silently (because it contains "ABC123" for the key which is already there) just reloading the page without adding new entry.

It would be useful for pre-dogfood servers (next*.tiki.org sites) to allow entries with the same key as in the past so the sites would not need different unique key manually added on each db re-import. But mainly it should at least give some error feedback!

In the early days of TikiWiki, we used a bunch of modules (last_modified_wiki_pages, last_articles, Last this, Last that, etc.) to show recent changes to visitors. We ended up with many modules and it was cluttered.

All this became a lot better once the "Since your last visit" module came around to adding all the features. As a bonus, it checks permissions and shows the information since the user's last login. Very sweet.

Now, I am hoping to get to the same result for the many edit/input boxes.

In version 3.0, the quick_edit module checks (with Ajax) for names of existing wiki pages to edit. This avoids duplication. Great stuff. Wikipedia does something similar when you are searching for a page name.


I almost always have the search box on.

However, I also add "search page name" because the general search engine may not return the page I am looking for as the search result.

Here is an idea:

A new module which combines three modules:
search_wiki_page
search_new
quick_edit

See top right of http://moinmo.in/ for an example.

The action buttons are grayed out until text is entered in the text box. -> Very nice


Button should be WYSIWYCA


See top-right search box at:
http://www.ohloh.net/projects/tikiwiki
http://www.wikicreole.org/



__Alternatively, we could combine search page name and search text, and in the search results, we would first show pages names, and then, search text. This involves more work, but could be better for the end user UI.__

^I think the existing layout for the search top right in TW is fundamentally good. A text box, then a drop-down then a button. Why because the drop down is more future proof than any of the layouts from the other sites you reference.

If we make the contents of the drop down easy to customise or at the very least document how to add to it. For example the CRM function could add items to the drop down for "Contacts" and "Accounts", webmail could add "Mail Messages" and so on.

I do agree the wikipage create/edit module should be included in the top right search function.

I think this is an example of where considering the future openness of the solution would be very important - MatWho^

It's not easy to get information in your mail box from all tiki sites where discussions are held in forums, in order to find out which threads didn't receive any reply. Imagine the user forums (many) in t.o.: you need to browse through many forums to see the threads that didn't receive any reply yet, in case you know answers to amny questions, but your time is limited and you want to focus first in the threads that didn't receive any reply yet.

A new option to include '__Threads with no replies yet__' to ((doc:Daily Reports)) and to ((doc:Notification digests)) would be very useful. This idea is borrowed originally from vbulletin, which included this feature many years ago. See example of email received from another software (probably vbulletin, even if I can't tell for sure any more) where that section is included.

In fact, an even better solution could be to create a new module for "__Threads with no replies yet__", and allow some way to let the tiki admin include some modules in ((doc:Daily Reports)) and in ((doc:Notification Digests)).

Hello,

The actual color used for the display of trackers ("bugs and wishes") is __ugly and make the read difficult__ (red text can't be read, other colors seems hard etc...) __and very tiring.__

To be coherent with the design a very light pink for great surfaces should be welcome.

Thank's

trebly

We receive many issues while people try to register. So I went to test out what is going on... While testing new user registration in new incognito mode Chrome I got this when I submitted the filled in form:
{img fileId="1361" thumb="box"}

Not a good feedback to the user trying to register :(

Steps to reproduce:

# open new incognito window
# go to https://tiki.org/login
# click the Register link in the login form which brings you to https://tiki.org/tiki-register.php?key=randomstring
# fill in the form and click "Register" button
# you get the error screen

__Anyway, the user was created.__
As an admin I received immediately a watch notification email first:
^__User joined Registered__
The user lucitest joined Registered%%%
at: Sun 23 Feb 2020 17:13 CET^

Then --after some minutes (17:21 CET)-- 17:14 CET I received "Community Members Information" tracker email about the Item Creation too __with no link to validate the user__ (but at that time I validated the test user manually already).

We also receive many registration attempts (in comparison as seen while watching user joining Registered group) __without__ any tracker or validation link emails coming out / being received at all.

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
