Hello! Was wondering if I could find a little help with a new Tiki Wiki installation here. Hi Snoopy more or less coinsidently still awake what's the problem? hope I could help but heading off soon I've made the install and got things set up, but it doesn't look like I have a new user registration option on my main page. http://famdamily.info I see a link "register" *facepalm* The theme just wasn't rendering right in my browser and I missed it. I. Am. An idiot. Powered by Elgg, the leading open source social networking platform Ah... That's not right... that doesn't seem to be Tiki ;-) DNS lag. ahh I've been playing fast and loose with changes today. :) ok - have another link? http://205.196.219.105 ? just in case: did you activate the "users can register" ? Yeah. And I found my missing link. :) http://205.196.219.105/tiki-register.php -> it seems to be a css problem I think I just need to change to a better theme. the "forgot my password" overlaps the register link or you customise the theme, if you like it generally That would require knowledge of CSS which I don't (yet) have. customizing themes in Tiki is quite easy - at least the basic stuff you do nothave any knowledge, or no advanced knowledge? did you ever used css in html? Effectively none. ok I can just about spell CSS. :) harr harrr same with me only a couple of month ago did buy a book "CSS for kids" late december I take it you recommend it? for kids and for adults who want a really basic beginners guide yes definitely Cool. I'll look it up. I've also got a few friends who rank intermediate - expert on CSS knowledge. I would not dare to tell me designer and I could not develop a theme from scratch, butnot so bad to do basic adjustments *nod* hmmm - I bought it in german .. do not actually know, if theres an english version of it Well, I'm sure there's something out there for beginners in English. if you want to see: http://papatour.eu - that's what I could make out of a fivealive standart theme, some weeks after my first steps I'd say Tiki is very good for starting with CMS-CSS work means CSS templating Not bad! thx tomorrow site will change again, as we start the tour on tomorrow but that will not be CSS changes, but just different content design Groovy. less culomns, a wide random picture or slideshow on top of most pages (depending on the day / station where we attend ... already prepared, but still need some adjustments steep learningcurve in Tiki do you know Tiki longer, or just beginning / interested? since a while I am thinking about writing a little beginners guide for CSS-Themes Just starting out. Trying to find something that will make a good social network platform / facebook replacement for my group of friends. especially for tiki In css I see a bit of a lack regarding to what I was looking for at my start with theme customizing I don't actually think I'm going to get that involved in the CSS, but let someone who knows it already poke at it if they're interested. but the community is very helpful - thought some of the devs save my arse a couple of time (beeing under some pressure in a project) some basics you should know - makes live easier - at least when you roughly understand what goes on, if you're bugtracking some basics like what is a margin or padding and how a css file looks like *nod* no need to research every selector by yourself, if you have somebody to do the ha for youcking Yup. but not such difficult just a mess sometimes and on some point timeconsuming, if you go to the details so your question is sorted so far? Completely. Thanks. Still feel like a dumkopf for missing the obvious... :) and you are researching wich software for a certain project So far, Elgg, Dolphin, Diaspora, StatusNet, Tiki and one other I forgot the name of. Tiki's the best-looking one yet. oh don'task me, how often I waste hours, sometimes days just because of a simple checkbox ... but it's not really wasted time - more gaining experience Yup. Such is the nature of testing... Diaspora seems a different building, isn't it? what you want to do with the software? we have "friendship network" as feature, but it seems to be more a debrecated feature - faced out and not actively developed Diaspora is very Facebook-like, but it's in Alpha, buggy, and hard to install and make work. I want something with, yes, a friends network, groups and status updates. Facebook would be just fine, but I want to bring it under my control for my friends so that we can share information without worrying about Facebook or Google's privacy policies. I regret that the friendship network thing is not so much a killer in Tiki - but in the end the groupware stuff is more important for most of us ... and we all have to accept aswell, where the actual coders see their personal priorities Yup. > I want something with, yes, a friends network, groups and status updates. <- may become a bit difficult in Tiki, as I guess that will not be developed further - not in assessable time *shrug* I'll see if this will work, if not, I'll look to something else... you should ask Marc or ... check the feature requests, write a forum posts ... Tiki is a very very good tol for nearly everythingI can imagine ... aswell you will always find usecases with very specific requirement what els you would like / need apart from status updates? else Photo galleries And groups, but I can probably use forums for that. perfect - we have image galleries, but since a while not necessary anymore, cause 'file galleries' have been further developed and take that aswell groups - tiki is very good in that and rights management, if you need that if you need groups, where people cansubscribe bythemselves or moderated groups ... and categories ever heard about workspaces? literally a combination of groups, categories and perspectives Users can create their own dynamically? I did not yet set this up, but yes, that's definitively possiple - called 'organic groups' Cool! quite new feature, as I ... guess since 4.x or 5.x - I will have to look into that quite soon so many features - you need times and times and still there is stuff left to learn about you said forums ... just one of the basic features Yup. what I find as very cool with Tiki, is that you have the WIKI-Syntax all over the place and every feature is tight integrated I'm seeing that... different from extension-model-based CMSes like Typo3, where for ex. the wiki extension does not work together with the rights managemant and there is the WYSIWYG aswell, based on the CKE Project Most of the features support WYSIWYG aswell - as it still is under work of even better integration you should nor switch between WYSIWYG and WIKI-Syntax on the same existing page (itś still possible to convert) but you can freely decide, in wich page you prefer the one or the other editor/syntax Thanks for the advice. I should be getting to sleep soon. NP me too G'night!

So if paragraphs of text have a bottom margin for nice spacing, a plain new line becomes one line height plus the paragraph bottom margin height, ending up too much white space. change the 2 setting about wiki formatting - and .. one setting will work Hi sylvieg. I can't find a setting that actually does what I want. The problem is that empty lines are rendered as paragraphs. which seems like an ugly hack to me. ah, I see the problem (for me). ::Centered text:: is produced as a div with text-align: center. Then when I make an empty line it is is produced as a pragraph (and gets the standard (in my theme) 24px bottom margin. So all my consecutive lines of centered text are separated by 24px + 1 text line height (for the   inside the paragraph). Plain lines of wikitext have
tags as expected (although they should be
syntax). I guess I shouldn't use :: ::. in admin->textarea - there is these 2 chackboxes .. wiki oparagraph - but still .... one config will suppress the br Yes, I can suppress the br, but I was getting a paragraph inserted between consecutive lines of centered text. I wasn't trying to make paragraphs. I wonder how to do ::line one:: ::line two:: with no extra space between the lines. It doesn't seem possible anymore with just wiki syntax. chibaguy: how about ::line one%%%line 2:: seems to work on 7.x ok, I'll try that, thanks. but the extra space between divs is still a problem. oh? i get a single div and a br between the lines With centered text? yup Hmm. i get:
line one
line 2
heh, me too, now that I try two lines in isolation. I initially had them inside a div plugin, and problems arose. tikiwiki: 03xavidp * r34941 10/branches/7.x/ (2 files in 2 dirs): [bp/r34939][FIX]structures: received structures generated a null alias .. and alias can be null.

I want to add a new type of {prefs ..} block for template I added a new file in /prefs with php code it just causes an error in my tpl when called do I need to activate or add it somewhere else shouldn't be needed I want to add a new setting for a theme that appears on Look&Feel when it is enabled. make sure you have no syntax errors in your PHP file It is 6 lines, identical setup to others, no php mistakes does your preference prefix match the file name? file and function names also like other /prefs files if your pref is named ps_some_setting, it must be in ps.php can you provide the error message? ah. it is called prefs_a960GS_list and file is called a960GS.php Hey guys. Im working with the Fade plugin today. I can't seem to get the icon to show up. Any ideas? I have all tiki logs turned on, haven't checked server yet. I will find ps.php and see, thanks for help. no need for ps.php... that was just an example what's your pref named like? also, check in your template to see if you don't have some syntax error oh, and you might need to clear caches bl ok. I am very new to tiki. my file has a function 'prefs_a960GS_list' returning the array with the name 'column_size' inside it. I put {preference name='column_size'} and that is as far as the admin page loads if I change to any other tag it is fine. I was thinking I needed to enable/add the new file I created for a pref's block somewhere else (database or another file?) I am thinking there is another way to do this since no doc's cover it? will tiki load all the files in the /lib/prefs automatically, including my new function file? @garypondstone: did you see doc http://dev.tiki.org/Creating+New+Preferences That was the doc I was looking for. ty. @garypondstone: you might also find http://dev.tiki.org/Hello+World useful, too I was on doc.tiki.org, this is where I should be.

I am turning grey in my attempts to make this work in a wiki page for any user or group, except admin. upgraded from 7 beta to 7 and it's still not working. I've set permissions galore but no luck. It works on demo.tiki.org. (aaarrrrrggghhhh) What am I missing? oh my superbuckets, its raining out there!! First offer and I have to come up with a 24 pdf file solution. anyways... i guess the Agent will have to be happy with a jump drive with pdfs. I'll keep trying of course, but right now the webpage thingy will have to wait. Well, I've tried a gazzillion things to get userAgent to view the files he/she needs to download/view. tiki_p_download is checked. so is tiki_p_view_file_gallery... so i just don't get why no records are found. I'm missing something somewhere. I guess I'm going to make 24 + 2 agms .doc files into tiki pages.
