{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
A wiki link in combination with a equation tag parses falsely.
This editor entry

{CODE()}((Fire weather index|{EQUATION()}FWI{EQUATION})){CODE}

displays the text output:

<img src="lib/equation/pictures/564a4dc730e638713aa76bb604088f85.png" alt="§7008f9602faf2722caf095a92ed8d624§" style="vertical-align:middle">§1a7e9ee2385aa1db7956a7f63689955f§

In HTML code:

<a class="wiki" title="Fire weather index" href="tiki-index.php?page=Fire+weather+index">&lt;img src="lib/equation/pictures/564a4dc730e638713aa76bb604088f85.png" alt="§7008f9602faf2722caf095a92ed8d624§" style="vertical-align:middle"&gt;§1a7e9ee2385aa1db7956a7f63689955f§</a>

The same in version 4.2 which is correct:

<a class="wiki " href="tiki-index.php?page=Fire+weather+index" title="Fire weather index"><img align="absmiddle" alt="FWI" src="lib/equation/pictures/04d4e88879dbf4f876f4b62fea56172f.png"></a>

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
In edit mode, if I do

{CODE()}
((
{CODE}


(and maybe a few letters), an auto-complete should appear, like the quick_edit module. This list should be WYSIWYCA.


This would also be useful in some plugins, when a parameter is wiki=

The most important is ((doc:PluginInclude)), because the main goal of the plugin is to include other pages, which you may not know the exact name.

When in plugin edit mode, an auto-complete could be done with jQuery (ask LPH for details)

When PluginImg is using the randomGalleryId parameter and a random file is fetched that isn't an image, the wiki page doesn't load at all, only this message: -+ imagesx(): Argument #1 ($image) must be of type GdImage, string given +- . It would be nice if, instead, no image loaded and also no message. Ideally, the plugin would skip non-image files until it succeeds in getting an image but, if not this, just load the wiki page with no image. The plugin usually gets an image on the next page load.

Of course the best prevention is to make sure there are no non-image files in the selected gallery, but this may not always happen.

The save button is gone from the wikiplugin modal.

To reproduce edit a wiki page, click on the help icon, choose the "Plugin Help" tab select a plugin.

{img fileId="2069" thumb="box"}


{img fileId="2070" thumb="box"}

It is rather difficult to write plugins that embed other plugins. The reason is the wiki syntax of the plugins not expressing if it is a beginning or an ending clause. The default is the "{X} body {X}" syntax.
Instead, {X} body {/X} should be used.
While this latter syntax as well as the {X /} are accepted by $tikilib->parse_data, it does not process the embedded calls. E.g {X} {X /} {/X} does not work. It returns an empty body instead of {X /} or the result of {X /}.

I tested the wikiplugin author on a fresh Tiki26: https://doc.tiki.org/PluginAuthor

When hovering the text inserted I can see a popup (not very nice) and the popup is unstable.
There are a few similar option in Tiki and using bootstrap.

Using this wikiplugin leaves the impression it has not been improved in time as it should have.

{FADE(label="Previous test on Tiki25")}I tested the wikiplugin author on a fresh Tiki25: https://doc.tiki.org/PluginAuthor

As it is visible on the doc page too, the plugin should display a popup and it is not working.

About the fields, Make Visible is a bit unclear and not documented.
What would be the point to add a plugin and hide it... May be it will be clearer when the plugin work again.{FADE}

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
The "Max" parameter is not working.
Tested on a Tiki25 instance and a Tiki26 site.

It is not possible to add a plugin from the Wiki page help tool. (tested on ff and chrome)

{mediaplayer src="display2067"}

Using Plugin Web Doc Viewer (https://doc.tiki.org/PluginWebDocViewer) I can embed in a Wiki page a PDF from a Tiki file gallery or an external URL (if it end with .PDF from my test) or a Google doc file (documents, spreadsheet, etc) from a Google drive.

Using the plugin Plugin Google Doc (https://doc.tiki.org/PluginGoogleDoc) I can embed a Google doc file (documents, spreadsheet, etc) on a Wiki page.

However I couldn't find a way to embed on a Wiki page a PDF file stored on a Google drive.
It just failed.

# enable Slideshows feature on Wiki Admin panel
# log out
# click on the Slides button under HomePage content; tiki-slideshow.php?page=HomePage&slide=1 displays fragments of plugins as ~np~{DIV}~/np~, ~np~{ELSE}~/np~ and ~np~{GROUP}~/np~ (in other words it doesn't parse the plugins properly)

This would permit more parameters.

Ex.: make invisible

{CODE()}
{alias page=oldpagename visible=no}
{CODE}

There should be a conversion script so every time Tiki detects the old syntax, it converts to the new one.

A plugin like this:
{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
{BACK()}{BACK}
{CODE}

Thats does this:
{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
<input type=button value="Back" inhibited_Click="history.go(-1)">
{CODE}

At themes.tiki.org and at my localhost branch 14, wiki syntax isn't being parsed, but is being displayed as text instead.

At the show instance, the login is admin/12345 but the bug can be seen without logging in.

Wiki text returned by the SQL plugin is not translated. I used the "Quote" plugin to verify if this problem exists for all plugins returning Wiki text and the value translated as specified in the data passed.

We make fairly extensive use of the SQL plugin on our internal department site. A technique for implementing this plugin we use is to enclose the return value of a column in double parenthesis. This enables us to have a web page reference for each of the returned rows.

This technique is used in several circumstances. One is that we select from our database stored information on hundreds of servers making the server name a link to a detailed info page. The example below is used to link to project detail pages describing individual active projects.

{CODE(caption="Example SQL",wrap="0")}
select
concat( '((', p.project_name, '))' ) as "Project Name",
u.user_username as "Project Owner",
tdv.value as "Project Status"
from
projects p,
departments d,
project_departments pd,
tsi_dp_valsets tdv,
users u
where p.project_id = pd.project_id
and pd.department_id = d.dept_id
and d.dept_name = 'TSI-KPHC'
and u.user_id = p.project_owner
and tdv.ID = p.project_status
and tdv.value != 'Archived'
and tdv.value != 'Complete'
order by tdv.value;
{CODE}

This issue is not restricted to link specifications as bold (double underscores) no longer work when returned by SQL either.

I have rated this a "9" strictly from a personal importance perspective and not as a definition of impact to the overall Tiki project. The customers of our department rely on these returned links for information and updates.

I have been all through the Administrative areas hoping to find a feature flag to turn on wiki text parsing of plugins (before trying the above referenced "Quote test") and am also unable to find such a flag specific to the SQL plugin.

The capability to include (recursively) with parameters is probably the most powerful and content factorizing feature of our best competitor MediaWiki.

It make not only produce content much faster and in a much more modularised way.

The references :
* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion]
* [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Templates]
* [http://doc.tikiwiki.org/PluginInclude]

It changes the syntax.

It would be time to rewrite the ((Wiki Parser))

I've been trying to use trackertimeline in a wiki plugin alias and I cannot tell you why when I view the result it doesnt display as intented.

example: {CODE()}{TRACKERTIMELINE(lower="2011-03-22 07:00:00",upper="2011-03-22 17:00:00",(...))}{TRACKERTIMELINE}{CODE}

(like up here, but in a wiki-plugin alias)

would display a timeline that goes from 07:00 to 17:00 correctly. BUT. The elements in it, wont display in its proper place

example: An element has a start-time of 9h00 to 12h00

So, instead of placing it properly on the timeline, it will show it +/- 3hours later.

WHAT I CHECKED
* I checked if there is timezone problem in the phpinfo()
* I made sure that every fields were linking to the right tracker fields Id
* I made sure the format was fitting

This is a button all default: {button href="anything" _text="nooptions"}

This is a danger button: {button href="anything" _text="dangerbutton" _type="danger"}

At https://dev.tiki.org/item8530-Server-check-is-raising-false-alarms-about-Tiki-requirements I used the wikiplugin img to display an image from anywhere on the internet.

The plugin display a broken image.
If I check the code and the url of the src it is correct and display the image.

At https://doc.tiki.org/PluginMediaPlayer?latest=1&no_bl=y#Example_with_the_src_param_jQuery_Media_ the example is not working anymore.

I'm not sure how it was supposed to work but or it is deprecated and the documentation should be cleaned or it is broken as the result is not what expected.

At https://doc.tiki.org/PluginMediaPlayer?no_bl=y#WebM_VP8_codec_ the example is broken and doesn't display a video as expected.
I tried a few alternatives but I couldn't get it to work.

If it is deprecated the documentation should be cleaned else it should be fixed.

Update: The img plugin insert action will automatically select the mediaplayer plugin if a video is detected. (not well documented)
---
Still:
It is possible using the plugins img or files to select or upload directly a file from the Tiki File Galleries. It would be nice in 2023 to have also this select functionality in the media player plugins.

Using the wiki plugins mediaplayer, webdocviewer or googleDoc we can display PDF and documents from many sources.
Almost everything BUT not PDF document stored on a google drive.

We need to add an option in one of our plugins to allow user to do so.

The wikiplugin signature will display buttons with text. (Add signature, Clear, Save, etc)
The translation tags are missing.

As result it is not possible to translate the strings for other languages.

When you try the Slideshow wikiplugin to customize the appearance of the wiki page Slideshow (background image, font color, etc.), it just flashes for a second and then it is being overwritten by the Slideshow default "theme" (vendor/jquery/jquery-s5/images/bg.png) rendering the plugin kind of useless.
