Category: Blog

I use TikiWiki as a platform for teaching at the college level, and one of the main things I do is require that students create and maintain their own blogs -- each student has one blog and should post only to that blog. My suggestion is that although I understand why there's an initial option to "allow others to post to this blog" in the blog create dialogue box, it would be a good idea to leave this option's availability and visibility up to the administrator -- in my situation, this option, if accidentally checked by students, creates confusion at posting time. I don't want students to see this come up as an option when they create their personal blog.

I'm currently having a major problem after upgrading to 1.9.5 from 1.8. Apparently, now all users can post to all the blogs, whether they are marked public or not. I ran the various database upgrade scripts, but it doesn't seem to have an effect. Users can post to whatever blogs they want by using the blog pull-down menu in the blog posting/editing screen.

If the user clicks "list blogs," there are no options shown to post to the unauthorized blogs. This seems to be a problem with the "blog" dropdown bar in tiki-blog_post.php. Somehow it's bypassing the check and letting users post in whatever blogs they want...

Comments can be used on wiki pages, blog posts, etc

There is Spam protection (CATPCHA) but nothing against trolls.

A comment moderation feature would be nice.

On clean installs (empty databases) of TW 1.10 and 1.9.11 (also tested and confirmed on the clean 1.9.11 install on opensourcecms.com).
After users (perms tiki_p_create_blogs and tiki_p_blog_post enabled)create a blog they can proceed to post to any other user's blog. More precisely, on the post blog page, a user can select all blogs from the "Blog" field

After creating a new blogpost and saving it, the post shows a lot of empty lines at the beginning of the post.
Looking at the html result, there are about 9 <br/> entries before the actual text.

The branch is downloaded on wednesday, 25th of June 2008 8AM GMT.

A 1.10b1 release of about a month ago did not show this behaviour.

Blogs post titles are truncated after posting (saving the post, not just previewing) in a blog when title is longer than 78 characters aprox..
I have no idea if this is an issue related to bbdd (mysql in my cases) or php.

html code are altered or disappear in portion or totally after save blog article. works fine on wiki page but not in blog page.

Showing a comment to a blog entry that has been posted the same day, only the time when the comment was posted is displayed. We use the German translation of TikiWiki, but the English "at" in "at 12:34" is display, not the German "um".
After having a look into the code, it seems the translation function is not called in lib/smarty_tiki/tiki_short_datetime.php

Inserting a RSS ex:~np~{rss id=6}~/np~ feed into a blog post now causes the following:

1- "Upload image for this post" is not offered at first post. Only after I save and come back to edit?

Html is offered:
{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
<img src='tiki-view_blog_post_image.php?imgId=44' border='0' alt='image' />
{CODE}

It should be wiki syntax:
{img src=images/code.png}%%% {CODE()}
{img src=tiki-view_blog_post_image.php?imgId=44 }
{CODE}

It would be lovely to set some new user defaults at
* Admin (home) > Login > User defaults, and/or
* Admin > Groups > (Edit a single group)

The ability to Subscribe/watch/monitor new users in the site or to that specific group, to specific Tiki objects.

Which tiki objects?: I would say, in this order:
# specific forums
# specific blogs
# specific calendars
# specific newsletters (ML: we can already subscribe groups to newsletters)
# specific wiki pages
# specific structures
# specific trackers
# specific categories
# new articles

This is specially useful for new users of the site, where they don't know yet how to subscribe to specific areas, etc. Very needed for educational scenarios, but I can see many other places where new users are a bit lost for some time while they learn how to use the Tiki site.

Anywhere there is a watch eye, it should be possible for an admin to have group members watch this category

Google adsense does not display.
This error occurred in FiveAlive and "thenews".
I tried using "Banners".
I tried using "Template".
I tried using "Module: AdSense".
I tried using "Module: User".
I tried using "HTML plug in".

In an Article and Blog, I used the HTML plug in, authorized the HTML, and nothing displayed.

By experimentation, I added the carat (box) around the plug in, and it displayed in PREVIEW mode. But when I saved it, an empty box with no adsense text displayed. (No, the carat didn't trigger it, just was the reason I previewed it.)

"Allow HTML" box is checked.

When I look at the page source, the HTML is there.

~np~<script type="text/javascript"><!--
~/np~~np~google_ad_client = "pub-0000000000000";
~/np~~np~/* 468x60 wiki */
~/np~~np~google_ad_slot = "9690243348";
~/np~~np~google_ad_width = 468;
~/np~~np~google_ad_height = 60;
~/np~~np~//-->
~/np~~np~<p></script>
~/np~~np~<script type="text/javascript"
~/np~~np~src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead
~/np~~np~/show_ads.js">
~/np~~np~<br /></script>
~/np~
The xhtml br / is the only discrepancy that I can find between the "PREVIEW" versus the "SAVED" version.

When I was testing various CMS/Wikis for a project, I ran across a module for another (Joomla or Drupal, can't remember which) CMS which allowed a user role or group to automatically generate a personal page, an image gallery, a weblog and any type of content page. It would be extremely useful for my project, but one of the few things missing from Tikiwiki (which is why I am implementing Tikiwiki, it has all of the other features I need in one install).

When you view an article, the URL simply includes the id# of the article. On wiki pages, however, the URL lists the article title.

This should be migrated to the community site, and handled with ((doc:Organic groups)) and ((doc:User Trackers))

No problem at all, but a request for more integration with the wiki and forums.

At this moment (in version 3 (after the bug is corrected)) there is only one forum, which can be used to discuss a wiki page. This is really great.
