2008 Packt Open Source Content Management System Award nominations can be submitted now - http://www.packtpub.com/award
Well, I nominated Tiki (Packt cms awards).
...and now am sitting back waiting for my ipod nano.... ;-)
last.fm got a makeover
http://www.last.fm/group/Tikiwiki
Newbie Alert - Hi guys. Is this the place that will solve all my problems?
Paragtim, this is the slow part of the day in this channel, so maybe some of your problems won't be solved.
Hi Chibaguy, Nice to hear from you. Money, Sex and Tikiwiki in that order - is that ok?
:-)
Cos its the slow part,I'll leave the money and sex bit for now. On the Tikiwiki front how are you with categories and forums?
Well, I haven't messed much with categories for a while. What do you need to do?
:-d This is going to take longer to explain than fix I think. In categories the structure can be nested and new categories added as required. I want to duplicate the categoriy structure in the Forums and have new forums slotted into the forum tree, either by hand of automatically. Can this be done?
Yes, categories can be added pretty flexibly. As for the forums, I'm not sure how the display order is done, other than according to the query in the url.
btw, what Tiki version?
In 1.9.*, it looks like the forums are listed alphabetically, within each section.
But they could be reordered with a different url, but maybe not conforming to the category order.
(well, if the forum order could match the category order with some forum column ordering, that'd be a nice coincidense....)
The forums appear to be listed alphabetically. This is by forum name by default, but using a url you can do the ordering according to other columns, either ascending or descending. If there are forum sections, the ordering is done separately inside each section. That seems to be about the limit on forum listing order.
Version 1.10.0b1. In categories I have set up a nested level system and it works well. The problem at the moment is duplicating that structure, which is fluid and will change as new products are added into the forum listing. I can seem to find a way to nest the forums so I looking for suggestions
The forum listing is fairly limited, as I described, (as far as I know). I'm not sure how to do a tiki-forums.php that would list forums in some other way.
Maybe it would work to make a wiki page that lists the forums, and use that instead of the standard list-forums page.
(but getting the forum post info, etc., into that would be beyond me)
if just the forum names and descriptions are enough, without the dynamic post info etc., a wiki page would work.)
Actually, probably a tiki-forums.php could be hardcoded to list the forums how you want, but I imagine it'd have to have each forum query written, rather than using a loop to get them all.
last.fm new design sucks, i liked the previous one much more :-/
hi luciash_
my new nickname sucks too, lets fix it first ;)
Yeah, I think I liked the old one better too.
better :)
hey chiba ! :)
Sorry for the pause. I was with you up to tiki-forums.php, so stupid question time. Are you saying that tiki-forums.php controls the screen layout of the forums and that this can be edited to change what is shown?
Well, the page's logic is to get the forums in alphabetical order, going through a loop to get each one. You can use different urls (watch in the address bar as you reorder the columns) to vary the order, but it's limited to asc/desc for each column.
To get the forums in a nonalphabetical order, I guess the page would have to have specific database queries hardcoded or something. Beyond me.
Food for thought - I'm going to have a quick read through the file and see if it makes any sense to me !!
Maybe start with tiki-forums.tpl.
Thats was my thought - Now about the Money and Sex !!!!
Hmm, well, .....
chibaguy: seems lot of ppl are missing the older design (see the comments) → http://blog.last.fm/2008/07/17/lastfm-the-next-generation
Heh, interesting. Anyway,.time for me to catch a subway. Be back later.
happy run, c u later gary
ok
hi all.
what means in css .rbox-title[name="tip"] (I am on darkroom) ...
the html is
only
(tips in darkroom are white on pale gray bg - not easy to read)
might have a different kind somewhere else
the bracket syntax is for conditions on attributes, but afaik, IE does not support it
but name is not an attirbute....
wondering how to fix taht an attribute name in {remarksbox} ? fix in darkroom.css?
can't say
hi
chibaguy: around?
hello gillesmm
do you have news from tikifest ?
yeah, it's over ;)
what do you need to know?
all was nice ?
yeah, it was long overdue
we took some decisions about the release process, you probably noticed that one on the mailing list
ok
to keep the story short, we will release a lot more often, on fixed dates
and no new features will be accepted in stable branches
on technical aspects, trunk no longer has to support php 4
it's very likely that adodb will be dropped
lphuberdeau: any replacement for adodb ?
likely PDO
lower level abstraction layer
sylvieg: name was wrong xhtml attribute, you can drop it or replace by .rbox-title.tip and div class="rbox-title tip"
PDO ?
php.net/pdo
ah, never hear of it
gillesmm: http://picasaweb.google.com/mindbro/TikiFestStrasbourg
"PHP Data Objects"
what about that pear MB:something ?
PDO requires PHP 5. Is PHP 5 already a requirement for TW?
not now, maybe will be in trunk (HEAD aka upcoming after 2.0, likely 3.0)
sylvieg: got it ?
thx luciash
np
TW 3.0 won't support php4
sylvieg: if u get in troble i can fix it
lphuberdeau won'ŧ support php4 :-p
works fine - just committed it
PHP 5 is at ~40% market share right now, the PHP group drops support for PHP4 in 3 weeks
sylvieg: thx
wondering if I have to do the same for all the css that use this
.. will do
like this we can advance on putting {remarksbox}
sylvieg: the answer is most probably yes or put it in transitions with !important
Hi all :-)
hi!
hello, is there a feature to dump a tiki in 1.9.10 without access to the machine ?
phpMyAdmin can dump the database for you
you need at least FTP to get files stored on the drive
yes but there is not a feature in tikiwiki ?
I only have access to the tiki
don't know of any of them
might want to contact your sysadmin
When adding multiple pictures to an edit, is there an easy way around having to preview it before adding another pic? Like trying to add 3 pics to one page.
goramba: You're talking about uploading to an Image Gallery? Because the question doesn't make sense for a Wiki page, where images are added through WikSyntax text.
I just saw the rbox title talk. I have to change that in a bunch of themes.
When editing a page in the wiki you have an option near the bottom to upload a picture.
(or any that other people don't get to first)
goramba: I forgot about that. Upload the images to an Image Gallery, where you can upload several at once. Then you can add the images to the Wiki page.
Hmm..that slows the flow quite a bit and requires a bit of note keeping. I liked that when you selected to upload a picture it automatically added the necessary line of code to the current edit. Makes it a quick procedure...if only you could do that multiple times.
maybe feature request then? :)
good idea!
goramba, what tiki version are you using?
Ahh not exactly sure..the latest version? Just installed it yesterday
goramba: Yeah, even within the Gallery interface it's awkward to find the file ID incantation; I'd prefer a simple image name format.
I'm guessing it wouldn't take much of a code-hack to make it refresh the page when someone adds a picture, that would accomplish it I guess.
Just asking because in 2.0 I couldn't get image uploading on the wiki edit page to work.
chibaguy - is there a quick way for me to check? I don't see a version number on any of hte pages.
in admin - general I think
(or features)
tiki-admin.php?page=general
in 2.0 the procedure is changed, apparently.
1.9.11
Ah, that should be ok.
(I mean at least it works.)
(Time to walk dog)
Hmm. I can't edit dev.tw.o. The comment "// DO NOT CODE LIKE THIS" should be added to "if ($tiki_p_whatever)" to stop cut-and-pasters. http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Hello+World#To_introduce_a_new_permission
SEWilco2: sorry, i don't understand
luciash: The text ahead of that code weakly reminds that it is not enough to test if a value exists; one must test for 'y' or 'n', but it's easy to miss that warning.
A strong reminder should be included in that code fragment to make clear that this is an example of what not to do. Preceding text also could use some rephrasing.
ah, why can't you edit it ?
luciash: user SEWilco doesn't have edit priv on dev.tw.o; I have it on tw.o, but apparently privs aren't interwiki.
weird, i thought every registered on tw.o has edit priv on dev.tw.o ... maybe it changed or the page has special perms...
Howdy
Does anybody get the error "svn: Working copy 'temp/cache' not locked" when trying to "svn update" ?
Or know what it means?
yeah, but know one knows where it comes from
just rm -Rf temp and it will work
and do not forget chmod a+w temp/cache after
after svn update?
sorry, never mind ;-)
luciash: Hmm. I refreshed and now have edit links. Maybe I was seeing a cached copy.
SEWilco2: np, good it works for you
luciash: oops, I don't have permission to edit. I was seeing a cached version which had edit links in the page, but not at the top of the page.
luciash: Apparently someone edited, and their copy of the page got cached.
huh, wow :-p
A cache bug. Yummy.
i see
the new edit by section
I assume the cache thinks an edit by section version is the same as a read-only version of a page.
the edit icons are generated as part of the wiki page content, which is cached, that's the problem (same as with wikiplugin articles, etc.)
Ok, let's say I have 1.10 that I checked out with SVN a month ago. Now I want to convert that to 2.0 branch. How would I do that, since it complains I already have something checked out in that directory?
The website tells me how to check each out individually, but not if I want to convert/upgrade
anyone good as js?
er at
depends on what you need
kerrnell: svn switch
Interesting svn: Working copy 'lib/smarty/demo' not locked. Is it safe to delete that dir?
i'm trying to edit the tiki-editpage.tpl to automatically submit a preview when you select to upload a picture. I'm in the right area but it has multiple submit buttons for a single form and I'm not sure how to "press" only the preview submit button, no others.
Hello! :)
Hi ;-)
ok, so I was talking earlier about being able to upload multiple pictures without having to press preview to upload the image. So far I have only managed to automatically "press" preview, a band-aid but it works. in tiki-editpage.pl look for: replace with: general layout > Site logo background color
but nevermind, better anyway
zorp:actually, I just did an upgrade a few days ago. now the problem is that I just set the login box module to be only available to registered users and lost it on the main page. do you know how to get it back through the database?
well you can always access the login through yourpage.com/tiki-login_scr.php
then you should be able to set it in the admin interface
luci: not really my decision to make
oh yea, sorry I forgot. I Knew that.
:)
:)
certainly not the kind of detail that will fit in RC2 thought ;)
zorp: I just fixed one perm checking about blog posting
oooooh cool
sylvie: would it be a fix to http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=1782
may I ask what the problem was?
I never usually post from the blog post menu - only from the list blog - so I never saw it....
the perm checking was not looking at the public field
ok
lphuberdeau: works very well so far with default profile
good, in theory, only one is missing
lphuberdeau: oops ! → tiki-calendar_edit_item.php
OK, I'm back to where I was. Is there any one else here who might know why my remember me feature is acting buggy?
lphuberdeau: as admin i get "Permission denied you can not view this page"
zorp: try this one http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=E1KJxvu-0008AJ-TE%4074yxhf1.ch3.sourceforge.com&forum_name=tikiwiki-cvs
lphuberdeau: i've just enabled all the *main* features and tried to add an event in calendar
and zorp - you had the fix in dev.tw
any idea what this could be caused by?
... there is still a fix to do neverless
lphuberdeau: imho bad conditional check for perms in tpl
if admin it should be always accessible
can you work around it by adding a perm?
sylvie - sorry I missed the fix in dev.tw :(
but it sure is a lot more complicated than the one I had coughed up :)
I am on version 1.9.11 and the dropdown menu for the remember me feature only has two options: 'disabled' and 'users and admins'.
lphuberdeau: actually, not in tpl, php
lphuberdeau: there 's else at line 265 which appears every time when you go to the page with no request variable
very old problem
from the log
either there should be '?calendarId=' in the Add Event link or change the code in php
kind of reduces the priority for me... fix would go in trunk
well, when i create new calendar then the link works well
new forum doesn't appear in changes since module
new tracker the same
otherwise no problems/show stoppers found
thanks luci
well, then it's nighty for me ... see you :-)
c ya
hi all
hello
I was just about to email you
are your latest commits fixing bugs?
hello :)
lphuberdeau: yes, i believe they are
lphuberdeau: i tried to keep them small.
just weird to see files added in RC mode
lphuberdeau: i've already switched over to trunk, i just thought these small fixes would be nice to have in this version.
lphuberdeau: i hope this is not a problem, is it?
was it really broken?
I pushed out RC2 just before you made your commits
lphuberdeau: would be nice to have, but no big problem if not, some corrections only
lphuberdeau: should i recommit them to trunk, or will this be automatically handled as well?
merging will do itself in time... in fact, I merged the stuff before your commits as well
lphuberdeau: bye, it's getting late
g'night
