Category: Regression from 28.x to 29.x

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
I updated recently a Tiki 29.x (14/02/2026) and since then on creation of an item in a tracker I have this error:

^
Error
Field _sort does not exist in the current index. If this is a tracker field, the proper syntax is tracker_field__sort.
^

It comes from using a relations tracker field with a filter using this "_sort" parameter.
-+type=trackeritem&tracker_id=2&_sort=tracker_field_actionsDate_desc+-

The code is at : templates/trackerinput/relation.tpl

{CODE()}
{object_selector_multi _name=$field.ins_id|cat:'[objects]' _value=$data.existing _filter=$data.filter _format=$data.format _parent=$data.parent _parentkey=$data.parentkey _sort=$data.sort}

On different area of a Tiki29x updated after the last 29.1 release images have a height of 2px or width of 2px.

As seen in the video attached to this item. (demo tiki)
The own image article is lost if the classification (topic or type) of an article is changed.

To reproduce;
In the Tiki Articles I create an article and set his own image.
I save, the image is displayed.

I edit the article change the topic or the type of the article and save.
The image is gone.
It was working fine, __this is a regression on Tiki 29__.

On Tiki29x from update I have several trackers.
A tracker field text is set as the tracker item title.
This work just fine.

On this tiki multilingual is enable and I use en and fr, so later I enabled the multilingual option of the text field and I added a french value for the title field. Now I see the database value for the trackeritem and not one title based on the language selected:

{CODE()}{"en":"The Wiki syntax in Tiki","fr":"La syntaxe Wiki dans Tiki"}{CODE}

When I create a button using Tiki29 several parameters (not all) are duplicated in the plugin syntax.

At tiki-admin.php?page=login admin can set "CAPTCHA questions and answers".

A question with a single answer.
If I use -+1,3,5,7,?= :9+- it will work.

If I use a text string like -+What is the capital of France ? :Paris+- it won't work as it was previously.

Tiki.org, just updated to branch 29, is now also showing the cookie message and dark backdrop on every page load like dev.t.o is showing, not for very long but still this is an unacceptable visual glitch IMO. This pops up even if you have accepted cookies.

{syntax type="tiki" editor="plain"}
Recently at dev.tiki.org, the cookie consent form displays on every page load, even though I have consented to the default and selected "save preference". The form only displays for a few seconds but it shouldn't show at all for a user who has consented to cookies.

The parameter thumb="box" is not applied anymore.

The sample below should be a thumbnail not a full screen image.

It is not possible to delete a menu option anymore on Tiki29. (among other errors)

On a Tiki29 (updated from Tiki27) I had a 500 error trying to access different admin areas.

I could track the issue on the admin module panel.

{CODE()}
thrown in /home/opensourcesolutions/public_html/tiki-admin_modules.php on line 638
#0 {main}
Stack trace:
[20-Oct-2025 13:14:47 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Unsupported operand types: string + int in /home/opensourcesolutions/public_html/tiki-admin_modules.php:638
thrown in /home/opensourcesolutions/public_html/tiki-admin_modules.php on line 638
{CODE}

Tracking the error lead me to understand that, in this Tiki the "theme_navbar_fixed_topbar_offset" was empty.
And this caused a problem. After reseting to the default 90px i could access to the module.

This shouldn't happen. ;-)

When you attach a file to a a tracker item using the attachment tracker feature, the file is uploaded and stored (where?) but it has no title or filename.

Also remove and edit icons look out of their places.

I have a Tiki29 in hebrew.
I use trackers and I have a field "Categorize tracker item".
If I change the option "recategorization event" (from save to indexing) Tiki feedback show a red error with "name is required".

The modal close and nothing is saved.

I don;t know since when it is broken, but it used to work...

It is not possible to upload a file when filling a ticket.

#I create a bug report
#I select the icon uploap in the text area description
#I navigate to the correct folder I want to drop a screenshot (liste galleries -> bug report -> bsfez)
#I drop the image on the upload area (I wait to be sure no timeout in the background)
#I click on insert

The upload fails:

Using the Tiki File Gallery feature (not Elfinder) it is possible using the bottom dropdown in a file gallery to move a file from a tiki file gallery to a different tiki file gallery. However only children are displayed but not the parent galleries.

I have this in my File Galleries

MainA
/ SubA
// File1
// File2
/ SubB
// File3
MainB
/ SubC
// File4


Let say I want to move File2.
When I select the option "Move" and go back to the selector to select the destination, only these will be displayed
MainA > SubA
MainA > SubB
MainB > SubC

MainA or MainB options are missing.

"Bug report images" and "File galleries" are missing and this is a regression.

At https://doc.tiki.org/tiki-editpage.php?page=Transfer%20Field%20Type, clicking the "Preview" button doesn't work anymore. No preview is displayed and an empty blue remarksbox is displayed.

Go to tiki-admin_schedulers.php, tiki-pagehistory.php?page=test(name of your existing page), try click "Actions" icon and see the behavior

The subject field of this tracker keeps getting out of focus when you hit a subject that doesn't exist yet.
It is very annoying !

Can't upload the video...

When you have a table of content and a menu element, the menu should open OVER the table of content and menu link useable.

Actually it is a weird mix with broken display and the menu link are not accessible.
Happen also when you set a menu at the bottom that dropup over the table of content.

At https://dev.tiki.org/Wishlist the customsearch displays a status selector.
If you remove the default "open" status it will provoke a logical error as the "empty" or "no-status" option doesn't exist. It shouldn't happen.

UPDATE: I posted a workaround, not sure it is a real solution

On a Tiki29 I use tArticles with the topic image and headings.
Before Tiki29 the Topic image and the Heading where displayed on the same line.

Since Tiki29 it is broken because a missing space in a class.

{CODE()}articleheadingd-md-flex clearfix{CODE}
Instead of
{CODE()}articleheading d-md-flex clearfix{CODE}

On a Tiki27 I have a menu in the top with several parents (top menus) and children (dropdown subitems).
Both were clickable and go to a page.

After Tiki29 update the parents (top menus) link is not working anymore, only childrens.

I added javascript to fix the issue temporary but a better fix should be done.
See workaround below. (module 218)

Auto TOC is gone since Tiki29x.
tested on demo too.

Another issue/regression at themes.tiki.org - I'm updating tracker 10, which lists the themes, with information for the Brite theme, and text seems to go missing from inputs randomly when I go on to another input. And I've saved the tracker item info after scanning it to make sure all the fields are filled, and when the item shows up in tracker items, the theme name is missing, with "undefined" in its place.

The "Theme name" field is a page selector, but when I input the full name "Brite", the page isn't found, the spinner goes constantly. I just realized if I just input "B", then the theme name appears in the selector options and can be clicked. But not saved, as again "undefined" is displayed in list-items where "Brite" should be.
I edited the short description field to add the theme name and saved, but the field content wasn't updated. :-|

Clearing caches and rebuilding the search index didn't help.
