On a Tiki27 where I don't use jQuery sortable tables.
I set a fancytable wikiplugin to display 2 columns side by side.
One contain a diagram (wiki plugin image) the second some text.

Under the fancytable the following warning is displayed even for anonymous:
"The jQuery Sortable Tables feature must be activated for the sort feature to work."

At tiki-user_preferences.php#contentmytiki_user_preference-4, Security user should setup 2FA authentication. This is not a simple thing and there should be a tooltip to link with Tiki documentation: https://doc.tiki.org/Two-factor-authentication

Hello,

See the following [https://tiki.org/forumthread79578-File-Gallery-Revamp-or-how-to-reference-image-by-using-wiki-markdown-markup?topics_offset=0|post] for more extensive explanation.

Sincerely,

In the early days when Tiki Wiki was primarily a Wiki tool, keeping the **wikiactions** page actions button constantly visible at the top of Wiki pages made sense.

However, now this button often obstructs the user experience, drawing attention away from content with its contrasting color, even when only one or two actions are available.

While outlining the button (as discussed in the Matrix chat) would be a quick improvement.

I also propose we also enhance the admin settings at `tiki-admin.php?page=wiki#contentadmin_wiki-1`. Adding a __group selector__ under "Wiki top line location" would allow admins to choose which user groups see the page_actions button.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
On Tiki an admin can enable "Allow users to use 2FA" in the log-ion area /tiki-admin.php?page=login#Users Management

https://doc.tiki.org/Two-factor-authentication

But this step is not enough as __each user has to go individually__ to its user preferences (replace userId by an existing one) /tiki-user_preferences.php?userId=3#contentmytiki_user_preference-4 and enable it. So it is totally a user choice to use or not 2FA.

At /login or /tiki-login_scr.php?twoFactorForm if the user tries to login without a code pin he will simply login with his username and password.


We can consider very common for an admin to set __and impose 2FA__ for login into a site.
We should have an option to make it mandatory including links and/or email notification to allow users to set their Pin Code, etc.


In a previous version Tiki18 - 21 the feature was imposed to the users as when this feature was enabled, the user was forced to enter a code received by email. May be we could have both options as it was way much simpler and user friendly (easier).

There is no option in the admin topics to display the last date an article was updated (modified).
This is very common for articles or news to show this information.

I believe we have it stored somewhere.
It would be nice to add this option at : tiki-article_types.php

The buttons to toggle between open, closed, and pending items are not working as expected. Below are the observed issues:

__Open Items Button__: Clicking the button to toggle open items displays pending items instead.

* Expected URL: https://dev.tiki.org/tracker5?status=o&sort_mode=created_desc
* Actual URL: https://dev.tiki.org/tracker5?status=p&sort_mode=created_desc

__Pending Items Button__: Clicking the button to toggle pending items displays open items instead.
* Expected URL: https://dev.tiki.org/tracker5?status=p&sort_mode=created_desc
* Actual URL: https://dev.tiki.org/tracker5?status=o&sort_mode=created_desc

__Closed Items Button__: Clicking the button to toggle closed items displays all items instead.
* Expected URL: https://dev.tiki.org/tracker5?status=c&sort_mode=created_desc
* Actual URL: https://dev.tiki.org/tracker5?status=opc&sort_mode=created_desc

__Steps to Reproduce__:
#Go to https://dev.tiki.org/tracker5.
#Click on each of the toggle buttons for open, pending, and closed items.
#Observe the items displayed and compare them to the expected results.

__Expected Behavior__:
Each button should toggle the correct set of items:
*Open Items Button → Displays open items.
*Pending Items Button → Displays pending items.
*Closed Items Button → Displays closed items.

__Actual Behavior__:
The displayed items do not match the button's intended functionality, as outlined above.

While user create a tracker on the "Category" tab of the modal there is a "Categories" link.
If the user click on it he is thrown away from the page with nothing he just entered saved.
This should not happen.

The user should be warn he is leaving is editing and nothing was saved yet.

Forums listed by "newest first" order in "threaded" style don't show the newsiest posts first, but ordered by the first reply's post date (which might have been 3 years ago!)

A work-around for now is to use "plain" style, quite disappointing.

In the image you can see lots of space for a nice background image to be placed along the top. How do I add an image here. I have tried hacking the css and scss but its not ideal. Can you place a module in the topbar to hold an image background

We have now, when we use multilingual, an hreflang tag that is added to display alternates pages.
This is it should work;
Every page in a multilingual set should:
* List itself with its own hreflang.
* List all other language/region versions.

Ensure all those other pages return the favor.

But in Tiki, it create ONLY the code for the alternative pages.
IE:
I have 3 page for en, fr and de.
There should 3 alternate rel link, one for each language.
However, when I'm on the de (German language) page, I see only:

<link rel="alternate" href="tiki-index.php?page=Community Members HomePage" hreflang="en">
<link rel="alternate" href="tiki-index.php?page=Bonjour" hreflang="fr">

This leads to error on website checkers.

With the tracker field Item Link there is a status filter.
This allow to displays certains items on item creation based on their status.

In my example I have holidays event from 2019 up to 2025.
Each time an event date is reached I close the item so user can register only to futur event.

It worked fine till I upgraded to Tiki27.

After the upgrade the status filter is not applied.

~~#d0021b:Update: The bug appears when using multiple fields option in the ItemLink field options. It was tested with one item in the field.~~

The logo module is broken in branch 28 - the logo, site title, and site subtitle are displayed in one column, one below the other, in the Basic Bootstrap layout. The problem is caused by something called -+[[data-mobile-tooltip]+- which was recently added and changes the display property of the -+a.navbar-brand+- element from -+flex+- to -+inline-block+-. This breaks the layout of the logo, site title, and site subtitle. I don't know what the purpose of -+[[data-mobile-tooltip]+- is but probably the person who added it should find a workaround that doesn't change the display property of -+a.navbar-brand+-.

The logo items display correctly for a second or so and then, apparently, a script takes effect and causes them to display incorrectly (lib/jquery_tiki/tiki-jquery.js:4869).

By the way, I moved the lines related to -+[[data-mobile-tooltip]+- from -+_tiki-selectors.scss+- to -+_tiki-miscellaneous_global.scss+- because they contain no variables for themes to provide values for, and so can be in tiki_base.css instead of repeated in each theme CSS file.

I often find a section of a wiki page near the bottom and want to edit just that section, and have to scroll all the way to the top to enable the icons, so either the icons should be always there but hidden (like the heading links), or we need a shortcut key to do that ("i" for icon, or "e"for edit... hmmm, simpler if they're always there)

I have the following use case:
On a tracker, I have a field that count the number of time the item was viewed it is updated on each item display but I would like to keep intact the lastmodif date of the trackeritem.

{QUOTE(replyto="marclaporte")}This is similar: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/merge_requests/1898
[NEW] Notifications: Added exclude data from notification field to trackers

.../...The concept to skip some behavior for some fields exists. See screenshot for options for each tracker field. So a developer could add "Modifications impact last modification info" (default: yes)

Ordered lists by default are numbering the list sub-items incorrectly, I believe. But when the admin option "Multilevel style numbering for ordered lists" is activated, then the numbering is correct. I believe the numbering that the admin option provides should actually be the default, so there might be no need for the option. I suggest removing the option and making its numbering method the default. That is, all ordered list elements in wiki text should have -+list-style-type: decimal+- . Or if the admin option is retained, it could have a selector of other -+ol list-style-type+-s.

Also, when this option is activated currently, a class is added to the body tag that gives the ''body'' a left margin of 2rem. There is no reason for this class on the body tag, as far as I know, and we for sure don't want it to be adding a new margin to the whole body of the page.

(Suggested on community chat)
If anyone would consider adding Description to links within structures, structlib.php has a function `s_get_page_info()`. All it takes is add `description` to the queries and then, in the .tpl file, use `{$next_info.description|escape}` (previous/next/parent... depending on where the link goes).
As an alternate, it could be added as a tooltip to each of those links, to improve usability.
This would also have to be added to the preferences in Wiki Structures, not everyone needs that.

The action log is almost unusable so it needs a major revamp.

Ideally the log data should be indexed in the unified search index (or maybe a separate one like the prefs?) and the search should be something like a custom search page where you can filter by date range, user, category (section) etc.

Might be good for a medium-newbie dev as it couldn't really be much worse!

Also, the log calendar needs reinstating, probably (was disabled as became totally broken after full-calendar took over)

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
The link to the RtM calendar event on tiki.org currently should be the SEFURL version, e.g. https://tiki.org/tiki-calendar-view_item?calitemId=337 (or maybe something even shorter?) and not https://tiki.org/tiki-ajax_services.php?controller=calendar&action=view_item&calitemId=337

Also, it should be easier to share it, imho.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
With a Tiki build-in module like logo.
In Visibility you can set a parameter to filter to have the module used with specific object categories.
For cat22 and cat23 you should add a semi-colon like this : "22:23".
On save the semi-columns are deleted and the filter is not working at all.

{img fileId="3091" thumb="box"}

~~#F00:See Solution (for the custom modules)~~

With a custom module you had to add a parameter per category to have the same behavior.

On a custom module in the parameter field if I set several category like this:
-+nobox=y&category=22&category=23+-

In the modules once saved it look like this as before.

{img fileId="3092" thumb="box"}

But only the last category entered will have the effect to display the module.
All previous categories will be omitted unlike before and this is a regression.

Forum admins should be able to easily see the list of users (and groups?) watching a forum

Since Tiki27 the tracker field text area shows an edit and a preview tab.

This addition should have been made optional for trackers text area or per features and for modal use.
The tracker interface turn to be a confusing and crowded area when editing an item (in a modal 😱).
