We need Tiki to run the scheduler out of the box.
There is something similar in wp.

*https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-cron.php
*https://spinupwp.com/doc/understanding-wp-cron/
*https://cronless.com/help/crons

---

Additionally we can imagine a set of scheduler command already in place (activated by default)
Index rebuilt, sitemap, etc...

For reasons unknown, in many (strangely not all) Bing (Microsoft's search engine) results of a running Tiki, the string "Toggle navigation" appears.

This is wrong in several ways at once

a) it is unwanted and totally unnecessary
b) it is confusing for interested web users, as it has nothing to do with content
c) it is utterly untranslated
d) the reason why it appears remains in the dark.

Reported first Using 1.10cvs from mid June 2007. Reviewed and confirmed goal is still legitimate in Jan 2022 (15 years later).

The tracker field "subscription" should include an option to automatically send a notification message to them item autor (and "watchers" of the item, maybe?)

Because subscription field is very useful also in letting people show interest in whatever you offered or requested in a tracker, and might be an easy way to let users get in contact related to that offer or demand... etc.

Thanks Guilles for your nice contributions to Tiki code! :-)

An admiror of yor work, as ((tw:Sylvie)) once said... (:wink:)

ON tiki23 at https://next.tiki.org/tiki-syslog.php when accessing to the Tiki logs from the new admin lead to a confirmation dialog (that shouldn't be here).

Visible on Tiki24 on next.tiki.org

Following the doc at https://doc.tiki.org/PluginActivityStream I set activity stream and login as admin to create my first rules.
At tiki-admin.php?page=community#contentadmin_community-2 I enabled Custom activities and apply.
I was expecting something to be visible, a button to add or create my first rule but the screen stays put.
I retried again and activate everything but nothing else was displayed.

I re-look at the video to understand that at the top of the page (not visible when you are looking at the Activity Stream options) they were a link, that was always there "Activity Rules" that goes to an external page, https://next.tiki.org/tiki-managestream-list

This implementation is different from most of what we find in Tiki Administration and really not user friendly for a new admin or someone discovering the feature. While it is ok to have on the top it should be also visible near the direct related option "Custom activities" checkbox as soon as you enable it.

{img fileId="1723" thumb="box"}

Another thing that would be nice is to be informed of the existence and eventually the number of rules that have been created.

For example, and to make it small, near the Activity Rules link a badge with the number of exiting custom activity rules. (0 for none is good to indicate no rule have been made yet)

When you create a tracker field Radio Buttons or Dropdown you can set in the options, option field values, labels and ===default selected value===.

''If an option contains an equal sign, the part before the equal sign will be used as the value, and the second part as the label
Separate multiple with commas.''

The tooltip says how to set a value and a label (1=One).

The tooltip omit (it was there at some point for the dropdown) to explain that a double entry will be seen as the default selected value for the field.
IE: 1=One,2=Two,3=Three,3=Three (Three will be the default selected value).

There are several cases an Admin want to use the login module but need to add some informations.
To solve this it is possible to use the module in a page or in another module.
This is not very intuitive and require editing work.

Adding a "free text" field will make much easier to add login or registration information (or whatever want the admin/editor).

Add the new preview tab to other text areas, as seen in {gitlab id=4dc05f6d}

Make it easier for tracker imports and exports to be used with Excel by adding an encoding option to Tabular Formats, which currently only has UTF-8.

This should be a new dropdown with UTF-8, Windows-1252 and maybe ISO Latin 1 (maybe more)

I would like to suggest additional data types with built-in syntax checks that could make life easier for people dealing with user's input into forms:

* Telephone numbers. Basically those should be strings, but with the syntax check that allow only for numbers, spaces, braces () and ONE plus sign (for international numbers, but this must be at the very beginning). Also thinkable would be some special characters, letters, sometimes needed on PBX systems: number sign (#) and asterisk (*) and P for pause, F for hook flash, E for earth.
But __''please''__ do not make strict checking for a 3-3-4 digit scheme, because this only exists in the US and Canada...
* Zip codes. These should be configurable for the country, as US Zip codes vastly differ from those in Europe (in Germany they are 5 digit numbers only!).
* IBAN international bank account numbers. Those consist of two letters (for the country) and two check digits, then 18 digits for the number. Check digits could also be checked, so typos by the user can be detected (and rejected) upon entry, eliminatin frustrating SEPA withdrawals... And it would be ''swell'' if IBAN output could be formatted into 4-4-4-4-4-2 digit scheme with separating spaces!
* BIC Bank interchange codes, these are 11 digit strings
* Debatable: Credit card numbers. Those are actually not allowed in databases containg personal data (PCI, see my feature request for a second DB for those). CC card numbers have a 4-4-4-4 digit numerical scheme, and 2-2 for expiration.
* Not necessary, because outright a compliance problem is the CVC or CVC2, the Card Validation Code (the digits printed, but not embossed, on the back of credit cards so they do not imprint). Those must never be stored anywhere. Not in databases, not on paper, nowhere. They can only be used for online verification and even must not be cached (direct violation of your contract with your card processor).

Using the batchupload command on the console it should be possible to set what to do when there is a duplicate file detected, when you upload a file with the same name than a file that is already in the file gallery.

-+ --duplicatedFileReplacesPrevious +-
To replace the file with the new one and delete the previous.

-+ --duplicatedFileIgnored +-
To Ignore new one if a file with the same name is already there.
''It seems it should be the default, but it is not applied (tested on Tiki22, 23 and 24)''

Additionally the process allow a file gallery to be created if it doesn't exist;
-+ --createSubgals +-
Providing the value for "Maximum number of archives for each file" in newly created file gallery.
-+ --createdSubgalMaxNumArchives=1 +-

* Make field rules work with ItemsList field (and possibly others) because these are DIV elements and have a -+text()+- value rather than a -+val()+- value.
* Check and implement condition groups (i.e. -+if (this and (that or that or that)) etc+-
* Stop radio buttons performing action for each button
* Add tracker_status as a conditions and actions "field"

Done:
* --Add "if user is the current user" condition and "make field not editable" action to tracker field rules--
* --Add action to wipe or set a value on a field (for instance clearing it if you're hiding one)--
* --Make rule conditions work when rule is on the target (currently the condition only tests the field the rule is on)--
* --UserSelector using autocomplete doesn't work (as it's a comma separated single input not an -+ins_xxx[]+- array --

On a Tiki23 I go to -+tiki-admingroups.php?group=''Agroup''#contenttabs_admingroups-3+- to display the members of "Agroup".
On the row of each user I have a wrench that opens an action menu.
I click on "Remove from group".
It displays a confirmation and validation modal with a password field and a submit (confirm) button.
BUT because the action menu stays open I can't see and click on the submit button.

Since Tiki24 we have a new search interface to find a plugin in our LONG list of plugin at : tiki-admin.php?page=textarea#contentadmin_textarea-2

This is a real nice improvement saving resources and space however it is not working at Dev.t.o

{file type="gallery" fileId="1747" showicon="y"}

When an admin perform a search the results found on the admin page will have the class "highlight" added.
This class is adding a bright red background and border.

{img fileId="1756" thumb="box"}
That's wrong language.
Red is for danger, critical, etc.

Should be more informative and less aggressive.

{img fileId="1757" thumb="box"}

{img fileId="1758" thumb="box"}

{img fileId="1759" thumb="box"}

On a Tiki25 when I go to tiki-admin.php I can see the control panels tiles and the last one is "Orphan Preferences".

If I select a control panel that then displays the adminanchors small icons the last option is never "Orphan Preferences" but is changing for the panel I'm actually on.

{img fileId="2112" thumb="box"}

{img fileId="2113" thumb="box"}

{img fileId="2114" thumb="box"}

My understanding is that the adminanchors small icons should displays the same option (if enabled) as the Control Pnael admin page.

On a control panel I navigate to a specific tab.
I do some change and apply. The page reload and display the first tab of the page, not the tab I was looking at.

This is wrong, I should be seeing what I was seeing before I submit the changes.

In a new 24.x vcs master installation the tiki-admin_modules.php UI is broken.
The UI is kind of cut-off below the module zone tabs and there is no button to add new modules. The interface seems to have been reorganised, but not finalised yet.

When activating and deactivating (playing around) the tabs / no tabs buttons the button appears.
--I will try to confirm with show.tiki.org-- confirmed
There seems to be a conflict with two variants of the tab toggle (tab view / no tabs) and and a duplication of the admin module tabs. See attached screenshots.

I assume a template issue {sign user="Torsten" datetime="2021-12-06T07:09:50+00:00"}

On the control panels, Editing, Plugins, right after installation, the GUI for the list plugin for several options and preferences has a "turn back" icon, "Reset to default value". (wrong as this is the default - thing was changed)

While it visually do the job (it reset the field or selector value) on Apply (Save) things are back to what they were.
Unchecking manually a checkbox seems to work.

Check the instance.
{mediaplayer src="display1939"}

On Tiki24 we have an admin "Print Setting" page : tiki-admin.php?page=print

If I want the generate a PDF from the action menu (first preferences on the admin page) this is what I see:
{img fileId="1714" thumb="box"}

Wiki print, the main feature to enable everything print, is somewhere at the bottom ? and PDF generation is at the top, preferences that rely on it are place above it... frankly it really look bad for Tiki to release such mess for users. We should use tab and reorder things.

Another example, the preference "Show Page title" is placed under "PDF settings" however it is applied to both (common preference)

In the Admin, if you search for "socnets" you will have results but nowhere to go as they are wrongly "not found in an admin panel".

{img fileId="1948" thumb="box"}

{img fileId="1949" thumb="box"}

May be temporary ?

This was tested on Tiki26 using Classic Bootstrap layout with Unified Admin Backend enable, fixed width enabled and a value for "Layout width" (1920px) wider than the available space in the admin display for a screen width.

IE: The site don't use a left column and is designed to use most, but not all, of the width available but in the admin view we have a 268px aside dropdown set.

In that case, the Tiki footer is under the left admin col.

{img fileId="1717" thumb="box"}

On a Tiki20 I can edit the default Wiki page, select text and create an external hyperlink using the toolbar button.

If I do that with "Ajax auto-save" enable (by default) all goes well.
If "Ajax auto-save" is disable I got the following alert;
{img fileId="1308" thumb="box"}

When you click on any of the buttons in the wiki page editor to create any kind of tracker function you get a pop-up that says
Oops!
The Symfony\Polyfill\Intl\Icu\Locale::getPrimaryLanguage() is not implemented. Please install the "intl" extension for full localization capabilities.
I can swap between php7.4 and php8 and both have the php-intl extension installed.
file permissions are www-data:www-data ugo+rwx. So all good in that area.

As shown in the attachment, I have a floating TOC in 25.2 this worked fine but now in 25.3 if you scroll past Heading #5 the TOC scrolls up too under the browser links bar. Its proper behavior is to stay at the top of the window and always visible.

:update
If the window is scrolled more than ~2800pixels the toc starts to move up.
