hi  - I wanted to know if there is a collapsible structure available
is it impossible to make some text bold or italicized inside a code clause?
Hey there. I'm using Tikiwiki 3.1, and for some reason the thumbnail plugin is only working in the preview of a wiki page but not the save. Why would something work in preveiw, but now save? Is there some way I can narrow down what the problem might be?
thosenumbers: there is an annoying different of behavior between preview and save
oh?
the way it was acting, it made me wonder if some feature or setting was by default enabled in preview that I had disabled in save.
nickleus: I think there may be a param for code plugin: http://doc.tikiwiki.org/PluginCode   wiki=1
thosenumbers: no, it's just weirdness. Also, for potentially insecure content, you must save, then, approve.   No way to rpeview
now, what is not working with thumbnail plugin once the page saved?
mlaporte: well, that's a relief! Yes, the thumbnail plugin stops displaying the full image upon rollover once I save. it still displays the thumbnail, but nothing more. I've tried a variety of variations to the syntax, but none seem to work
I've used the same syntax to explain my problem on the community boards, and the code seems to work there.
any hints here? http://doc.tikiwiki.org/PluginThumb
sweet, thanks marc, it worked =)
If it works on a tikiwiki.org site but not for you, it could be that it's fixed for 3.2
nickleus: welcome
Hi guys. After upgrading to tikiwiki 3.1 from 2.x my pages look very odd. My menu to the left is now at the bottom of the page - what is going on?
mlaporte: The wiki page doesn't have any helpful hints, sadly. is there any way to update to 3.2?
Even if it's still in beta, I can accept the risk that other parts might be glitchy. I have a really minimalist wiki, so I doubt any of the other needed features will be bugged
thosenumbers: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Download#Pre_release_packages_zip_files_
stix: themes changed a lot between 2.x and 3.x   Which theme are you using?
mlaporte, some custom made one
but why can't I select which side to have my menus displayed in
mlaporte: I'm assuming I download the "Future 3.x (branches/3.0 from SVN)" pre-release link. How do I upgrade? Simply replace the files?
thosenumbers: yes (after you made a backup)
thosenumbers: then, visit tiki-admin.php  (You may get a warning message about updating your database structure)
mlaporte: Ok. I'll give it a go

hello everyone, I'm setting up a tiki site. I have a few questions about trackers. I cam trying to allow users to edit certain fields, but not be able to delete tracker items
!help
You can get a more complete list of commands that work with this bot at http://tikiwiki.org/TikiBot .
edit field type or field content?
I would like users to be able to edit certain fields, but not to delete items. When I give the tracker_modify permission to the group, the users can also delete items
though, on screenshots in the documentation, the tab says "edit", mine says "edit/delete"
there is no perm to do that - so far I know ... people use generally TRACKER that has no delete button
If it existed, sylvieg would know
@sylvieg: how do I make a tracker without a delete button?
oh, I see you mean use the plugin
yes - but it is not secure - only he does not see the icon
that will do, I just don't want people to be able to delete things by accident
the problem I have with TRACKER, is there seems to be no way to select an item to edit
I'm trying to implement a bug tracking type system with it
plugin param: view  or  url param: itemId
I don't think I'm doing it right: I want the user to be able to submit an issue, view issues, and edit issues not only that he has created but that others have
weatherhead:  http://profiles.tikiwiki.org/Bug_Tracker
thanks marclaporte, I did have a look at that page. I'm not doing a bugtracker exactly, but more an issue tracker for a hardware engineering project
weatherhead:  http://dev.tikiwiki.org/wish1798
oh.... this is actually all getting rather complicated. I was perfectly happy just using the "Trackers" page rather than the plugin, except for the fact that there's a delete button on the edit tab
it is easy tio chage just the tempates (if $tiki_p_admin_trackers eq 'y'}{... le icon delete{/if}
it easy also to add a perm ...
that would be ideal really, to add a permission that shows or hides the delete icon
weatherhead: : if you let everyone edit, I suggest you watch all trackers to have backup info in inbox
only some fields are editable, but thanks for the tip.
is there any documentation about how I code my own perm?
the hello world page on dev.tw
I've changed it so only admins see the delete button.... thanks a ton!! :-D
sylvieg: http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=mecpc.org%2Flista+de+oracion  chokes on ShortURLs   Is there anything that can be done?  Otherwise, should we stop people from using certain characters in wiki page names when Short URLs are on?
yeh with the / I do not know what we can do...
ok, I will delete that SPAM page anyway...
any idea about the broken page here: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Search+engine+optimization

hi all! I updated a page on dev with ticket statistics http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Bugs+and+wishlist+stats
i used split plugin
and it made the left/right columns disappear
any idea why? is it a known bug of the plugin? I have been using it on my own pages and did not see this behaviour before
sylvieg: would it be easy to add a rewrite rule exception for wiki pages contain chars that break it?
hi gezza
where the short url was generated?
because I thought that for special chars not short url was geenrated

I'm trying to get a mediawiki import working, I have the PEAR library Text_Wiki installed, but for security reasons the sysadmins won't install Text_Wiki_MediaWiki and Text_Wiki_Tiki
does anyone have experience with this?
where do I set a custom location of these libraries?
weatherhead: use Tiki4
gezza: what is status on: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/wish2234 ?
marc: I close it, i commited to svn
gezza: tks
marc: i would like to propose some changes in the structure of this tracker, please read my notes on the wishlist squad page, would be happy to hear what you think about it
weatherhead: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=GSOC+2009%3A+phpBB+and+MediaWiki-TikiWiki+importer
gezza: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=2704
gezza: 1st comment: why do I need to click + 9 times to read it all?
weatherhead: Another possibility is to do conversion on another system and mail the new pages in... if the mailin feature is working in your version (I had trouble with it).
no, it's not working.
hehe, it is personal taste, I dont like long pages, I use this hiding thing o lot
I've copied all the reqwuired libraries (Text/) into my tikiwiki directory
gezza:  :-)
you can take it out
but i'm still getting error message "Text_Wiki libraries need to be installed"
weatherhead: Tiki 3x installer was just a stub.  You really should use 4.x  
long pages make the mind heavy before starting to read imho :)
is it stable, and can I upgrade?
Which was freshly written and developer (Rodrigo) is available for bugfixes
weatherhead: Maybe you could add a newarticle XMLRPC method, so another system can send new pages in.  At least XMLRPC interface seems simpler than mail.
weatherhead: not stable. But it's to import to a fresh Tiki, yes?
no
to merge our old wiki which was on MediaWiki, with the new one which already has some articles
ok, so then, perhaps,   Install a Tiki 4.0 with the sole goal of importing MediaWiki data, then user SEWilco2's suggestion of XMLRPC (Send pages) to send from 4.x to your exisiting 3.x Tiki
basically, I haven't even tried the built in import yet
I'm just trying to get it to recognise where I've installed the PEAR libraries
are you saying the mediawiki import doesn't work at all? Doing any of those things just seems far more complicated.
I suggest you don't waste your time
as in, the import feature is totally hosed even if I got it to work
3.x MediaWiki import was never finished. You'll waste less time by copy-pasting
yes, as you say (hosed) :-)
ok
pre-pre-alpha
and the 4.x mediawiki import works??
Yes, very well. I saw a demo 2 weeks ago
Wiki migration is very difficult
and Rodrigo did a fine job
hm. Ok I think I will go with installing 4.x just to import the old wiki
yes, that is what I suggest
and then somehow get it into this 3.1 install
Do you use a lot of features?
yes
quite a lot
no forums, articles, blogs
but basically everything else
is there a tiki tracker field that allows a multi-select list?
ricks99: I use categories
y, but dont want them site-wide. just want to present a list  to select from. drop list works fine, but i want multi-select
weatherhead: if you were using only a few features, you could test all, and perhaps find that all is OK.   But in your case, it's risky.  (too long to test all)
ricks99: dunno how   (and I don't like multi-select list)  with CTRL
alternative is to use checkboxes, but formatting/ui is quite poor in tracker forms
k
weatherhead: There is a feature to export wiki pages to XML. Perhaps that can work for you.
from the 4.x install? Then import those XML files into the 3.x
yes

 New Forum Posts: HELP: An error occured in a database query! - http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?forumId=6&comments_parentId=34479
ok I have got tiki4 installed, used dumpbackup.php on the mediawiki install
uploaded it to the tiki importer, and I have got an error
XML file does not validate against the Mediawiki XML schema 
rodrigo_sampaio: ping ^^
hey weatherhead
weatherhead: what version of mediawiki are you using?
ummm
it's quite old I think
weatherhead: the XML file should be fine if you generate it with the dumpbackup.php script unless you are running a very old mediawiki version that exports to a old XML format
1.13.2 according to the XML file
weatherhead: can you find out if it is using the version 0.3 of the DTD file?
if you tell me how to :-)
weatherhead: probably this information appears in the header of the XML file
i'm going to check
weatherhead: the first tag of the XML file (<mediawiki>) has an version attribute
version 0.3
weatherhead: this should be fine, not sure why the XML file is not validating
I included all images and it's a full backup not a current one
does that make a difference
weatherhead: no
also I originally exported it to a different file with no extension then renamed it to .xml
the first time it said wrong MIME type
weatherhead: if you can send me the XML file you are trying to import I can take a look and see if I discover what is the problem
yes, though I would like your word that you'll delete it afterwards.... there's nothing particularly sensitive but technically it'd be against our rules.
weatherhead: you have my word
thanks,
weatherhead: you can send it to rodrigosprimo@gmail.com
yes ok
it's on the way now
weatherhead: if you have technical knowledge you can take a look at the importer code and see if you have any idea of the problem. there is a php bultin function called schemeValidate(). this is the function that is falling and generating the error
I have technical knowledge, but none of PHP
unfortunately
but I will have a look
weatherhead: no problem, as soon as I get the email I will take a look and see if I discover what is the problem
thank you
weatherhead: I'm glad that there are people using the importer. I just finish it as my Google Summer of Code project :)
cool
I'm hoping to get it into our current tiki 3.1 install eventually actually
but was told the importer on that version is a bit of a disaster
weatherhead: this is true but it is very easy to backport the code I did on trunk to 3.1 and use it
weatherhead: I think you just have to copy the files tiki-importer.php, templates/tiki-importer.tpl and the directory lib/importer to your 3.1 installation and everything should work but I never tried
it's taking a little while to send, it is quite large
oh, ok I may try that, but I was planning to just then export from tikiwiki4 and import into 3.1
it has finished sending 
weatherhead: I'm looking at it right now
ok
tikiwiki: 03marclaporte * r21117 10/trunk/templates/database-connection-error.tpl: [ENH] Add a link to help for a common problem.
weatherhead: for me the problem with the XML validation does not occur. However, it starts the importing process but it fails when it tries to insert data into tikiwiki
weatherhead: I'm trying to understand why
I see
also, the file is available locally on the webserver,
is there a way to specify the file without uploading it?
weatherhead: you need to change some parts of the code to achieve this
weatherhead: but it is something easy
ok
weatherhead: you server is windows or linux? and what version of php do you use?
linux
5.2.4
weatherhead: same here
weatherhead: about the problem with the XML validation: for some reason that is not clear for me the schemeValidate() function need internet connection to work properly (I guess it search for some information about the DTD file although the DTD file is distributed with the importer). so maybe the problem you are having is related with this if your server is behind a firewall that is preventing the PHP function to connect to the internet
it could be I suppose... is there a way round it? The server is not ours so I can't really alter the firewall settings
the server is able to send emails and such
weatherhead: if possible, the ideal scenario is to run the importer on a local server, where you can have control of everything and avoid this kind of problem
I can wget stuff on the server.... does that mean it has internet access?
I suppose I could set up a local server.
tikiwiki: 03sampaioprimo * r21118 10/trunk/lib/importer/tikiimporter_wiki_mediawiki.php: typo
..... that sounds promising..?
weatherhead: a local server will help a lot
weatherhead: my commit was a typo in a message that the script output to the user, no relation with the problem you are having unfortunately
ok, am gonna have to boot up a linux computer and install a server. Don't fancy doing it on OSX!
it is not that hard on leopard
apache is installed already ^^
tikiwiki: 03marclaporte * r21119 10/trunk/lib/wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_div.php: [FIX] Forgotten type for DIV plugin

tikiwiki: 03marclaporte * r21120 10/trunk/templates/database-connection-error.tpl: [ENH] new window on links to doc.tikiwiki.org, minor tweaks of text.
is there any other way I could export the old wiki, that may work better?
Perhaps I could upgrade the mediawiki install 
weatherhead: I don't think it has any relation with your version of the mediawiki
ok
weatherhead: I think that the problem validating the XML file has some relation with your environment settings. I don't know much about as I'm trusting in a builtin PHP function to handle this and is this function that is generating the error
ok I see
weatherhead: in my local server I manage to import half of the pages in the file you sent me
I have got a server booted up....
weatherhead: for some reason that is not clear I don't experience the error with the XML validation but with the full file the script dies without any message
weatherhead: I edited manualy the XML file and removed half of the pages and it worked
very odd
weatherhead: as the file is big might have some relation with reaching some PHP limit but it is very odd that it does not generate any error message
my php memory limit is 32MB so that shouldn't be a problem
it's possible the server's maximum upload is too small
I'm just about to check out the SVN onto a local server
weatherhead: the memory limit is likely to be a problem while importing the page but I don't expect this to be a problem while validating the XML file
tikiwiki: 03marclaporte * r21121 10/trunk/lib/wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_div.php: [FIX] Adding a few filters and completing plugin documentation
weatherhead: good news
weatherhead: I was able to isolate the problem. For some reason the page "Audit - What equipment/components we have" is causing the script to abort. I removed this page from the XML file and I was able to import all other pages (a total of 198)
tikiwiki: 03sylvieg * r21122 10/trunk/lib/tikilib.php: notice
oh
interesting
well
weatherhead: when I have more time I will look at the content of this problematic page and see if I understand the problem
ok
I will try removing that page
should I still use the local server
weatherhead: there are two different problens. The one you are experiencing with the XML file validation has no relation with the problem with the "Audit - What equipment/components we have" page
ok
I will import it onto my local server then
weatherhead: exactly, and please tell me if you have the problem with the XML validation
will do
weatherhead: another day I will look at the issue with the above mentioned page
ok
could it be to do with the odd VBA macro stuff on it?
weatherhead: might be
weatherhead: need to look to be sure
i  - I wanted to know if there is a collapsible structure available
avi__: can you elaborate?
{treetable}?
thanks this would be like a collapsible tree . I created a structure bt the (toc} displays every node. I wanted a way to just show the main levels first and then allow me to drill down
It's taking a lot of time to display the entire struct. ( i have 1300 rows) and I'm looking for a way to speed it up
hi sylvieg. is there documentation on {treetable}? does it load a structure?
nothing dynamic for structures is set now
it is a work on the way - and even this one will not fit your need
you can limit the toc to a certain number of level
will i then be able to  fdrill down or does it just load the main nodes
no it is not dynamic
Could I create a struct for each level and list them on  1 wiki page e.g. a struct for "A", 1 for "B" etc ?
like this http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Tracker? 
your link is broken but I found http://doc.tikiwiki.org/treeTable
sorry without the ?
this seems to be the main site:  http://plugins.jquery.com/project/treeTable
but there is no ajax.. so it will be statis
thanks - It says that it takes a structure.  I'll need to look into it .  Any ideas how to load this struct faster  for a user to view in a  contents page?
which version do you have?
2.0
faster
there is plan to rewrite the structures to do less queries - but nothing has been commiitted yet
It could also be my vps. but anyway, I really don't want to display every node, initially. is ther some 3rd party tool?
what people do usually is to give a maxdepth to each toc ...
but then , how do they drill down?  
like in the page Trackers, you have another {toc} taht displays the rest
in 3 (or 4) also, you can put the toc in the module and you can cache the module
ok , I'll look into it  - thanks. I have another unrelated  question. I would like to allow my community to see what pages are being worked on - what's the best way to do this?
you can also perhaps cache the page wiht the big toc if your structure is not changed often
module last modif page
thanks - that was simple.  one last question. I  modified my toc to use fancy  so that it will "mark" the pages that have been modified. I do this by puttin  html in the 'description' field of each page. But I don't see a  fild where a user can edit the description. how can they modify the description fild themselves?
sylvieg - thanks !
