Using Tiki 5.0, create a wiki page with a link to file attachment (uploaded to that page).
Then generate and download a new Dump of the wiki.
Unarchive the downloaded new.tar Dump file.
Open the .html file corresponding to the wiki page created in the first step.
Examine the link to the file attachment.

Expected results:
Expect the wiki page to have a hyperlink to the file attachment.
Expect the file attachment to be included in the tar archive.

Actual results:
There is no hyperlink to the attachment on the Dumped wiki page, but instead the text "No such attachment on this page".
In fact, the page attachment isn't even included in Dumped tar archive.

Notes:
I realise that the file attachments are included in the Export functionality, but I find the Dump functionality is very handy to be able quickly share a wiki's content with a user who does not have network access to the wiki, nor has the tikiwiki software installed.

The Export feature is nice, but it would be nice to export/save wiki pages with html formatting intact. A way to edit offline then sync changes would be even better, but for now, I'd settle for a way to just view pages offline.

ML: You can ((doc:mail-in)) and ((doc:watch)) (mail-out), but no true sync

XML-RPC? IMAP?

Would be really nice to combine with an encrypted password manager for offline storage -> ((User Encryption))

If I have a wiki page SomePage that has a link "Page With Space" in it, when I dump the wiki, the generated HTML in SomePage.html doesn't have a correct hyperlink in it to get to Page With Space.html.

The hyperlink contains plus signs instead of spaces (or %20) like Page+With+Space.html, but the target page on disk is called Page With Space.html. Clicking on the link in SomePage.html generates a file not found error.

Various *.tikiwiki.org sites are managed by different volunteers on various hosts. That is good.

Each domain should be systematically copied over to someone else.

Something like:
||domain|managed by|backed up by
fr.tikiwiki.org|mose|marclaporte
themes.tikiwiki.org|marclaporte|luci||

tiki-backup.php was like performing surgery on yourself. It can work but it's risky.

On a clean install, I make a backup via tiki-backup.php All seems well.

However, when I try to restore:
{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}

Warning: mysql error: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '��I�!��m3.�ָb���J�:A�޷7�Y��|���C��O�' at line 1 in query:

��I�!��m3.�ָb���J�:A�޷7�Y��|���C��O� in lib/tikidblib.php on line 134
{CODE}

It seems to be caused by the special characters in the encryption of the .sql file


Broken site shows:

{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}

{CODE}

There is a bug there (see title)

There are two mysqldump commands in the Tiki ecosystem:
https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/HEAD/tree/trim/scripts/tiki/backup_database.php
https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/lib/core/Tiki/Command/BackupDBCommand.php

On a very large site, it can take quite some time from the start of the backup to the end. What happens if some data changes during this time? Could there be data inconsistency? Should we do anything to improve what we have?
