"Page creators are admin of their pages" allows the page creator to lock and unlock, but not remove. This is important because if you are admin of the page you really need to be able to remove it. The intention of this feature is obviously that you should be able to remove, so this appears to be a bug.

Uploading .bmp images to an Image Gallery results in a box with an X appearing, instead of the image. Tiki is unable to display .bmp images in file galleries. Wiki pages also will not display bmp correctly.

I found there is a typo on line 58 of tiki-listpages.tpl (Version 1.9.4)
which make the "Page" column title disappear in tiki-listpages.php
The faulty line looks like this:
{QUOTE()}
<td class="heading"><a class="tableheading" href="tiki-listpages.php?offset={$offset}&amp;sort_mode={if $sort_mode eq 'pageName_desc'}pageName_asc{else}pageName_desc{/if}{if $initial}&amp;initial={$initial}{/if}{if $find}&amp;find={$find|escape}{/if}{if $exact_match eq 'y'}&amp;exact_match=on"{/if}>{tr}Page{/tr}</a></td>
{QUOTE}

At any list of pages, tiki-listpages.php for example, after checking some sites and choosing "Remove" at the checkbox "Perform action with selected:" i get redirected to a new site with a list of sites i have checked and a big button saying "Click here to confirm your action".
After clicking that button i again get redirected to to list but the pages have not been removed.

This bug was tested on 2 different wikis running on XAMPP on a W2K3-machine.

Hope you can help.

This is a new feature arrived in BRANCH-1-9

1. add feature_print and checks
2. add tiki_p_print and checks

The above problem-description makes no sense... please look at tw#74 for that
---
Problem rephrased:

The "Source" button is currently dependant on tiki_p_view_history - it should have a perm of its own.

We had just reconfigured the disk to RAID1 and backed up mysql, tiki, and php on our linux box.

Now, we are getting "Page cannot be displayed" after we edit the homepage and try to save it. It is happening on tiki-editpage.php but it is there. The permissions are 644 apache.

The second thing seen is the forums messages can't be accessed anymore.

Does anybody have experience with these problems? Any suggestions? Perhaps we should re-install all the software.

In the Menu is an option "Dump" under "Wiki", if you enabled that feature. The link just points to the .tar - what gives a 404 from the Web-server.

This showed up after upgrading from 1.9.11 to 2.2

When accessing Wiki pages with external links (mixed cacheing and nocache), with PHP error reporting on, notified of an invalid offset in tikilib:6193.

I've added the following features to my tikiwiki 1-9-5:
1. added max_depth to {toc}
with {toc max_depth=3} I can limit the depth of the toc created. This is convenient if I only want to show the next level of subsections.

2. get a file by name via tiki-download_file
with galleryId=<id>&name=<?> I can retreive a file by name. If there are files with the same name the most recent is taken. This is convenient as I can reference the files by there name, e.g. schedule, an I can easily update it with out changing pages. Dynamic content would also work but I prefere the name as it is more obvious than 'content id=42'

3. get a random picutre from a gallery via show_image
with galleryId=<id> a random picture of the identified gallery is given.

Sometimes, we want people to participate to one wiki page, to access their user tracker to update personal information or access a ((workspace))

Right now, we need to

#create a user
#create a group
#assign user to the group
#give permissions to group ( in general or for a specific item)
#inform this person, typically by email, on how to access this page


Instead, I would want to
#add an email
#pick the permissions this person has
#any limitations (works x times, or for x days/weeks)
#an optional message

And the system should send a 1-click login email (an email with a link in it which is unique / very difficult to guess).

Whoever clicks that link
*Would be authenticated with the appropriate permissions and according to the limitations.

Wiki page draft requires AJAX.

I just tested in 2.0 RC2 and it's completely broken.
It conflicts with ((doc:Lost Edit)) protection

{THUMB(id=48,url=>show_image.php?id=48,original=y, sticky=y)}Major bug with wiki page draft{THUMB}

Hi to all,

I want to know if you can create a protected page that only logged in users can see, I know I can turn off the wiki so only logged in users can access it, but is there any way that I can put under restriction only a few pages since they contain some important info that can be shared only by users that have accounts on the wiki.

Many thanks

for example:
5 users in group home
6 pages in category home

I want all public can view these 6 pages in home category, but only these 5 users can edit pages content ( not the objects in the category, it is the content of the page!! ).
I know I can setup the permissions page by page to the home group, but what I am looking for is category to group relationship, not page to group, don't want to do it page by page, or maybe there is one way to do that, but I don't know yet.

Thank you very much.

Have a good day.

Best,
Peter

The new "saved_msg=y" fails when SEFURL is on - both new pages and editing. It gives me a 404 not-found error. Makes SEFURL pretty useless. Example:
http://www.casesofinterest.com/tiki/Everything+is+Patentable&saved_msg=y

Many times, in random places, the www will get knocked off the hostname. I think it mostly occurs when I submit a confirmation to do something. I noticed it again today on: ./tiki-removepage.php when I confirmed the page removal at www.casesofinterest.com, I was returned to casesofinterest.com - kind of annoying, as I wasn't logged in to casesofinterest.com. The www should not be dropped.

Tiki 7 includes the "Previous version" feature allowing links to refer to "older versions" of a wiki page (either by version number or date). What would be nice is to have a general way to browse an older snapshot of the *whole* wiki.
We have a wiki describing a quite complex scientific model and have a lot of model description in wiki pages. What we want is to access "snapshots" of the whole wiki. E.g: the state of the wiki from 1.1.2011 is the one describing the model version 1.2 and is used for this or this scientific publication. While the latest version of the wiki (27.6.2011) reflects ongoing developments one may want to surf the version from the 1.1. (e.g. to look for details that are not in the publication).
Is this (already) possible? I think an extension to the "previous version" function could do the trick (I have no idea of the inner workings of tikiwiki)...

If you recreate a wiki page by creating a new page with a temporary name, delete the old page, and rename the new page as the old page, the page name will appear twice in Last-Visited Pages (breadcrumb module).

This has happened to me seldom on different tikis (3.x, 4.x and nowadadays, even 5x!) on different servers, and it's very annoying for users or admins, since after you make a simple edit to some page, for some reason, it gets the content duplicated after saving your small edit. And it can be repeated 3 times, if you edit again, 4 time if edit again,. ..... I could only avoid it by rollbaking to the last version whithout those duplications.

Confirmed that this bug (related to the collapsible headings) is not fixed either yet in 5.0rc2. It seems to show up in some pages were collapsible headings; I mean:
{CODE()}

etc.
{CODE}

Reproduced recently here:

I just editted the
{CODE()}
{rss id=1}
{CODE}

to change it for
{CODE()}
{rss id=1:2}
{CODE}

as far as I remember, after a few previews and changes in the content before saving.

Then, the content was saved twice.

See the diff above and the resulting page:
http://r-help-es.ourproject.org/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=Bienvenidos&preview=19

This site is using tiki5.0rc2 , no ajax, and wysiwyg editor enabled, even if not used on that page.

I can provide admin access to that site to any coder willing to check this issue.

{CODE(wrap=>1)}[10:28] <xavi> since a few versions ago, I can't get wiki watch emails with a correct encoding for accents, etc.
[10:28] <xavi> smae behavior in many servers (using Tiki 4.x, 5.x... tried with setting utf-8 and iso-8859-1)
[10:29] <xavi> I get most emails all right , email reader (thunderbird, gmail, etc.) can read them properly, but not emails from changes in wiki pages...
[10:30] <xavi> I wonder if this can be some problem with the encoding in some tpl , or that the code for sending emails from changes in wiki pages uses some different method than the rest of email sending... and that other method is not handling charset properly... (just hypothesis)
[10:31] <xavi> asking here first in case someone who already knows the internals of Tiki has some tips...
[10:31] <xavi> to quickly refuse some hypothesis...
[10:32] * xavi fears looking at the code for this and getting lost in php code , zend code, and other gibberish which he can't understand easily....
[10:41] <xavi> ok, at least I know some more information about the problem (charset for wiki watch emails)
[10:42] <xavi> I double checked in one site, and everywhere is set to use utf-8 as encoding (admin general, admin community, and my own user pref settings), but wiki watch emails come with: "content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1"
[10:43] <xavi> ok, this deserves a bug report...

Bugs & Wish list

The ability to subscribe to a specific structure via RSS feed would be very useful. Currently one can subscribe to an RSS feed related to the entire wiki, but if several groups are using the wiki for different projects or purposes or topics, this may not be at all useful. For example, on the Southern New Hampshire University wiki, we have the online faculty handbook plus a variety of page sets related to different course projects. Most faculty should be alerted of changes to the faculty handbook, which resides in a structure, and some students and faculty may want to track changes to structures involved with specific courses or departments, but few if any users need to be alerted of every change to the wiki as a whole. The ability to generate an RSS feed specific to a structure (and possibly also specific to a category) would be very helpful.

It will be very useful when TikiWiki is used as a combined portal & Intranet


The key (and link to permissions) is already on tiki-listpages.php (great!)

Now, a green key could indicate this page has special permissions.

And maybe even a third key (say blue) indicates that the item is inheriting permissions via the category.

I am using Tiki for educational scenarios, and frequentñy I (or my students) want to change misspelled words (for instance) on long wiki pages.

Nowadays I'm taking the content out of the wiki-edit form, search and replace on in external program, anb back.
I could be nice to have this feature integrated into the edit page form.

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.

I upgraded from 1.8.5 to 1.9.0. After editing and saving a page, a blank page is displayed. On refreshing it (and accepting that postdata will be sent again), I get the original page.

After editing and saving a certain section of a wiki page, it would be very helpful, if TikiWiki would scroll down to this section again, when reloading the page.

Many other Wikis like Mediawiki or Dokuwiki handle section editing this way and it is indeed very convenient.

Imagine you edit a section of a very long wiki page and you have always to scroll down manually, when you have saved the page but have to review it.

This is an alternative to full WYSIWYG.

Wiki parser does some things. To get Javascript WYSIWYG, you would have to rewrite and maintain in javascript.

It re-uses existing features and has less chance of What you Saw Was Not What You Got.

Clicking Preview is a great way to see what you will get. But it's slow and it makes you loose your cursor position.

How about having a button to open a second browser window which refresh every 5 seconds (configurable) the content of the wiki edit box?

Lots of people now have large screens so they could put this side-by-side (or however they want it)

With the option HTMLdiff, you could in quasi real time not just see what you will get, but also see the colored diff. (cool!) So before you save, you know what you are about to delete.

Ajax seems to be buggy and producing a serious bug which duplicates the content of wiki page edit under some circumstances.

[[10:07] chibaguy Yeah, I've seen a number of complaints about that in the tw.o forums.
[[10:08] xavi It's been reported as such by some users and they discovered that disabling ajax solved (as a workaround) the issue. And the issue is a big bug (I suffered from it in tiki 3 something a few months ago)
I was going to fill a bug, but dev.tw.o down nowadays to me
[10:10] xavi that's the recent bug report in he forums, where they talk about the disabling-ajax workaround:

You will see a bunch of action (Source, Permissions, History, Export, etc). These actions should be WYSIWYCA

Allow posting comments on a wiki page when viewing wiki page history (for instance, when viewing a diff of page versions from different users): useful on educational scenarios, where it would be easier to report feedback to some students when they make a good or bad change on some content on that page...

somehow an anonymous user gets the tiki_p_wiki_view_history right, although it is not listed in 'assignpermission.php?group=Anonymous. thus the user can view out dated information which should restrict-able.

The following patch provides a version of the ARTICLES wiki plugin, that displays article titles only. To use, people simply specify titleonly=>1 in the options for the ARTICLES command. This is in production use on the [http://www.asperger.asn.au|Asperger Services Australia] website -- just look under ''News'' on the right-hand side of the page.

I'd like to see some sort of an "autosave". That way when you're engaged in editing a really lengthy page, it will save itself periodically. For those of us that have flaky internet connections, this would be a huge boon. My edits wouldn't necessarily be lost if my internet connection goes pouf for a few minutes.

1- Go to ((Keywords))
2- Check Backlinks

You will see a backlink to __Why Use 2.0 for devtwo__ but this page no longer exists. It was renamed or deleted or something :-)

In a tracker item, we often refer to wiki pages. From those wiki pages, we should be able to see the trackers in the backlinks.

Related:

With this second thing done, we could have backlinks among tracker items.


This will be useful for a ((Mindmap))

There is bad output on the link when the linked page description has WikiWords.

Example:
[http://tikiwiki.org/TikiLiveCD]

On top, there is alink to pages which have as description the Word "TikiWiki". And it produces some outptut like:

^ca TikiWiki 1.9.7 + 1.10 cvs!" href='tiki-index.php?page=TikiLiveCD%2Cca&bl' class='wiki'>TikiLiveCD,caes TikiWiki 1.9.7 + 1.10 cvs!" href='tiki-index.php?page=TikiLiveCD%2Ces&bl' class='wiki'>TikiLiveCD,es
^

Currently, when one attaches a first file to a wiki page, the attach a file tab turns into a tab that says how many attachments there already are on the page. Clicking on this button does two things:
# it allows you to see the existing attachments and
# it exposes a control that lets you add attachments.
The problem with this button is that it does not offer the affordance of attaching a file. A naive user who looks at this button will not understand that it is the button that one uses to attach a file.

I want to enable comments on wiki pages.

I have two options right now, both have advantages and disadvantages.

Enabling comments on pages

* Pros
o Easy to configure
o Comments are visible directly on the page
* Cons
o No way for people to monitor all posts on the site. Often people post a comment on a a page and never get feedback.


Associating a discussion forum thread to each page

* Pros
o Everyone on the site gets to see every posting that's made on any page. Increases the likelyhood that someone will respond to a post.
* Cons
o More difficult to configure.
o Postings are not visible directly on the page.

It would be nice if we could have the best of both.

What I would like is something where:

* A discussion forum for the wiki can be enabled at a single click of the mouse.
* This single click of mouse would result in threads being a
utomatically created on this mailing list for each of the wiki pages
* The top 5 messages for a given page would be displayed directly on that page.

When renaming a page, an option to automagically add a placeholder page.

This placeholder page should be the redirect plugin, which sends to the new page and has "301" headers so search engines know to update their DB.

When trying to add a new page to an existing structure I got the following error:

Field 'structure_id' doesn't have a default value


I could correct this very simply by going into the MySQL administrator and changing that column to have a default value of 0. I guess this is just that the DB set up SQL is incorrect and needs to have default value added to that column. I used the update SQL from 1.8 to 1.9 to create this tikiwiki so I guess that is the SQL that would need to be changed. I have not tested the new clean DB install of 1.9.

Cannot create table with percentages column.
This simple table code should create a 2x2 table with the second column having percentages, but instead the percent symbols are treated as indication of a dynamic variable.

||name|value||JohnDoe|50%||JaneDoe|50%||
~/np~

On the other hand, if an image is inserted in another column, the percent symbols are not treated as dynamic variable anymore, and the table appears correctly.
~np~
||name|pic|value||JohnDoe|{img src=}|50%||JaneDoe|{img src=}|50%||
~/np~


In my oppinion, the identification of a dynamic variable inside a table shouldn't extend beyond each cell of a table, let alone a full row...

When you disable display of the Description field on the top bar of the Wiki Page, the option to edit the description is removed when editing the page.

Sorry I cannot find "wiki-pages" to check in the report-a-bug-form.


1. I edit a wiki page
2. I move the mouse over the save button
3.! I get a help-cursor and the text in the textarea scrolls to the very bottom
4.! I click on save, but nothing happens

I got this behavior REV 24514 and on your REV 24503

I get the same behavior on Firefox, Chrome and WinXP-Safari.

Thomas

tiki-print.php -> tiki-index.php

In trackers, if you find a tracker item following a search, you have some parameters in the URL for item 6 of 70. The canonical format should be just the tracker item.

In blogs,
tiki-send_blog_post.php?postId=xyz
and
tiki-print_blog_post.php?postId=6079
should be:
tiki-view_blog_post.php?postId=xyz

Wiki pages links are case insensitive but the category permission check for wiki pages menu entry only works if the case of the link matches the case of the wiki page name.

Say you have a wiki page called "Foo" and the "Registered" group has view permission to this page granted by a category. If you create a menu entry linking to the "Foo" page and set the URL as "((Foo))" everything will work as expected. But if you set the URL as "((foo))" the menu option will not appear to the users of the "Registered" group. Obviously for this to happen the "Registered" group must not have global tiki_p_view.

This does not happen if object permissions, instead of category permissions, grant access to the "Foo" page.

Please help since we have invested much time and effort in this project, believing Tiki could filter rightly wiki pages based on perms, and since I cannot find a workaround.

When not logged in, Some wiki pages are shown, and Some others Not, while they all have exactly the same set up. They all have been categorized only in "Public Content" category which is set to Show wikis to Anonymous users, while Global perms are set to not show them to anonymous.

At this moment we have two identical wiki pages as setup is concerned:
1) http://mi.solcentral.org/tiki-index.php?page=La+Funci%C3%B3n+Esencial+y+El+Prop%C3%B3sito+de+Vida
which doesn´t show to Anonymous users (and should do it)

and

2) http://mi.solcentral.org/tiki-index.php?page=Sobre+el+Sitio+SolCentral-org
which shows well.
Note that at the botton of this page, in the listing of pages related to the category "Contenido Público" (which is the translation of "Public content"), the page "The Esential Function And Life's Purpose" (wich is the translation of "La Función Esencial y El Propósito de Vida") that is the page 1)... Then if you click on it, it will not show presenting you with the login invitation, allthough is shown in the list as categorized "Public Content".

Other extraneous behavior is that when when you use the Plugin Toc to show the structure, only shows Some wikis on some structures, and on some other structures doesn´t show any wiki.
I have used this:~np~{toc structId="26" order=asc shownum=1 type=fancy }~/np~ in the wiki:
http://mi.solcentral.org/tiki-index.php?page=e-Books%20Index

Actual estate of config is:

For anonymous:

If Perms on wiki: "La Función Esencial y El Propósito de Vida"

La Función Esencial y El Propósito de Vida Anonymous tiki_p_view Categoría: Public Content
La Función Esencial y El Propósito de Vida Anonymous tiki_p_view_backlink Categoría: Public Content
La Función Esencial y El Propósito de Vida Anonymous tiki_p_watch_structure Categoría: Public Content
La Función Esencial y El Propósito de Vida Anonymous tiki_p_wiki_view_attachments Categoría: Public Content
La Función Esencial y El Propósito de Vida Anonymous tiki_p_wiki_view_comments Categoría: Public Content

Category Perms of "Public Content" are

for anonymous group perms that are ON:

Can view wiki attachments and download (tiki_p_wiki_view_attachments)
Can view page/pages (tiki_p_view)
View page backlinks (tiki_p_view_backlink)

Global Perms are:

on Wiki:

Can view wiki attachments and download (tiki_p_wiki_view_attachments) is ON for Anonymous
Can view page/pages (tiki_p_view) is OFF for Anonymous
View page backlinks (tiki_p_view_backlink) is ON for Anonymous


Fixes tried:

Have tried the opposite: allowing everything to be shown to Anonymous, and then restrict on pages that should be hidden with a "invisible" category with perms tiki_p_view OFF for anonymous group.

And it didn´t work since - again - for Some wikis worked, and for some others not. Even if they are identical.


Using:
Tiki 6.1 fresh code install, on past 6.0 db updated to 6.1.

On doc.tikiwiki.org, I renamed pluginBacklinks to PluginBacklinks and the backlinks are gone.

When you use the code plugin, the page width formatting is thrown off. Instead of seeing both left/right colums, the right column gets shoved off the screen and I have to scroll. This is with scroll bars already setup on the code plugin itself.

--
Chealer :
This happens when nowrap was not set.

Gary (chibaguy):
In my checking (trunk version, but same relevant CSS as in Tiki 3 and $), almost all browsers respect the overflow:auto rule for the code plugin and don't cause the page to widen. I put a long unbroken line of text in the code plugin, and in Opera, IE, Safari (Windows), and SRWare Iron (Chromium - webkit), even this unbroken line was broken to impose a scrollbar on the code area and avoid a scrollbar on the window. Firefox was the only browser that failed at this.

If the current rules - overflow:auto, and 90% width in some themes - then all browsers will allow the long line to display unbroken and create the page-bottom scrollbar, pushing the right column out of view. As I understand it, this is the behavior reported as a bug here.

To reproduce:

#Go to a page which someone else is editing
#Click to edit a section (ex.: &hdr=9)
#You will get a message to confirm override (conflictoverride=y)

If you accept, you will be editing full page instead of section.

contributors (from contribution feature) are not listed on the contributors list at the bottom of a wiki page in view mode. (collaborative style set at wiki admin)

They are shown in history of the wiki page in a new column called "contributors", which is fine, but when viewing a page, and when wiki set up as collaborative style for listing contributors, author and those "contributors" should be included all together in the list of contributors.
Example:
http://www.iesbarcelona.org/ESSO350/tiki-index.php?page=2009s%20EAP%20Buses%20and%20Metro

listed three users (Authors) as contributors.
However, if you go to history:
http://www.iesbarcelona.org/ESSO350/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=2009s%20EAP%20Buses%20and%20Metro

you can see a fourth user in the contributors column.
That user can't see her name on the list of contributors, and requests for help to site admin due to that fact, etc.

I recently installed twiki using Fantastico on a siteground server. I've done a small amount of tweaking from the admin ui, but nothing that seems major. After logging out as admin, I get:

Any ideas?

Goal: Making is easy to use description field without needing to duplicate data entry

Say I use Tiki for terminology.

If I use the wiki page name for terms, I will end up with many weird characters in the URL.

If I use the description for the term, I still need to enter a cleaner/shorter wiki page name.

This is an unnecessary step.

Create wiki page could be full term, and accents and special characters are suggested (but overrideable)

Tiki 1.9.x behavior was to show side-by-side diff as default (good). In BRANCH-1-10, many new diffs were added (good). However, now the default diff is "HTML diff" (bad). Please change back to "Side-by-Side diff". Even better would be site-wide and user defaults.

So site admin would determine default diff mode, which could be overriden in user settings. And still pickable for each page.


{THUMB(id=19,url="show_image.php?id=19")}{THUMB}


Here is wht I don't like htmldiff as the default:
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-pagehistory.php?page=ReleaseProcess20&compare=1&oldver=21&newver=22&diff_style=htmldiff

In 1.10 now we can set to login as e-mail and display realname wherever possible. But the user wiki page by default is set to 'UserCreate<e-mail>. We should still allow user to create his page with 'UserCreate<username/real name>'.

The recommended behaviour should be if user chooses e-mail to be private or it could be if admin sets to disaply realname wherever possible, then it should use 'UserCreate<realname>' other cases it can be based on e-mail.

One of our users reported that she was receiving watch notifications whenever she clicked the "Discuss" button for a wiki page, even though she was not posting anything in the forum topic.

The cause was a Watch on "A user posts a forum topic (forum_post_topic)" for the Wiki Page Discussion forum. (Our Tiki uses a forum for page discussion instead of page comments.)

The preferred behavior is that this type of watch would only generate a notification the ===first=== time the Discuss button is clicked for a page, when the new topic is actually created, rather than just accessed on successive clicks.

Folks would probably use external wiki abbreviations more if they and their full equivalents were displayed on the editing screen. Even better if there were an explanation of what they are for, how to use them. Maybe a tooltip?

for users with tiki_p_wiki_view_comments perm only, it displays the ~np~[comment]~/np~ link on the wiki page bar even when no comments there yet to read, so clicking it does literally nothing...

This is annoying!

Workaround is to remember to pick category again when you save.

Can not ((XML Import-Export)).

For translation, I would like a way to duplicate an entire structure, and have Tiki automatically build the translation relationships between wiki pages.

For example, consider that I have the following structure in English

Structure Name
Page Foo
..Page Bar
..Page Alpha

Now I want to translate the structure to Spanish. I want Tiki to create (automatically):

Structure Name, sp
Page Foo, sp
..Page Bar, sp
..Page Alpha, ap

__AND__ create the translation relationships between the specific pages (for example from "Page Foo" to "Page Foo, sp"

Everytime I use the maketoc inside a wiki page on a fresh tikiwiki 3.2 install the whole page content is duplicated every time I hit "save". Even if I delete all the content but one version and hit save the whole PREVIOUS page is duplicated again. Like I hit save: two times the page content. I delete all but one time the content, I hit save: three times the page content. I delete all but one time ... save ... four times the page content.
Only removing the maketoc makes it possible to get rid of the problem. But meanwhile the wiki content has become a bit more (30-40 pages) and the same problem happens more and more often without having any maketoc included when the page is becoming bigger.
That was done with Opera browser on a page with 4 h1 headings but I doubt it is a browser problem. :)

It would be nice if there was the ability to have links to attachments easier than having to remember the file name from the attachments screen. It would be nice to get a list of all attachments on the WIKI edit screen and have the ability to click on the attachments to bring in the WIKI markup for the attachment link.

Edit a page
Save

If latest wiki source is now different than what it was when I clicked edit, Tiki should tell me so I can manually merge issues.

Related:
{wish id=1191}
{wish id=2488}

Can someone give more details on this one?

I believe the problem occurs when someone goes to edit a page then uses the browser buttons, links or types a new URL without clicking either the svae or cancel buttons. -- mdavey

A related issue is that the lock is checked /before/ all the permissions checks have been done. The result is that one can try to edit a page as anonymous, get an error warning, login, try again only to be told that 'Anonymous' is editing the page. -- mdavey

obs: waiting for cvs to unlock to commit

The edit section is based on 'what you see' and the tiki-editpage.php is based on the source
So if you have an optional heading. eX:
~np~
!hdr1
{TRACKERITEMFIELD..}
!hdr2
{TRACKERITEMFIELD}
!hdr3
it will not work
code must be rewritten

Footnotes should be "My footnotes"

Comment should be "Edit Summary"

With the WYSIWYG editor enabled (but html not checked in the wiki settings), I am unable to use wiki syntax in the normal editor when I save or preview. That is, the wiki markup shows up as text on the page.

It switches back to WYSIWYG after pressing preview as well.

If I enter html in the Normal editor it works fine.

Adding or changing a Wiki page has the error "A contribution is mandatory" when saving.

Can't get past this error

When I evaluated the software for my project, I was very happy when the documentation said that it was possible to create a workflow with categories, transitions and watches. But I realized that watching a category only triggered a mail notification when the transition was made in the tiki-admin_categories.php page. It was useless for me!! :-((

Email notification don't work except if "watch minor" is checked

When pages are added to a structure, they appear in chronological order. Placing the pages in order is extremely time intensive. Please consider creating one or more of the following options:

1) A menu choice for alpha sort on a per level basis.
2) The ability to drag and drop entries. (See Netflix queue page.)
3) The ability to manually renumber the page order value and then update all. (See Netflix queue page.)

Additionally, please note that positioning pages by using the up/down icons sometimes creates apparently random placement:

1. One
2. Two
3. Three
4. Four

Selecting the up icon from "3. Three" can sometimes result in:

1. Three <<<< out of place
2. One
3. Two
4. Four

instead of

1. One
2. Three <<< where it should have gone
3. Two
4. Four

Thank you!

This would permit cleaner URLs and easier searching.

__Where?__

Wiki page names
Usernames
tags?
etc.

__What?__
Spaces & underscore to be equivalents
a and A are equivalent. This makes perfect sense for page names, user names, etc Accented characters (äâ) should be as well

For wiki page names (see how Wikipedia does it) but it could be that ~np~((User_Profile)), ((User+Profile)) and ((User Profile))~/np~ are equivalent.


Should hyphen (-) be an equivalent character as well?

How about (,) and (.)

. doesn't play nice with rewrite rules
