ok, so R is working, but plugin r still gives " Plugin R/RR: Cached file does not exist" on any page I put it on
even when I change the advanced settings nto not bother with a cache

running an Ubuntu 16.04 LAMP stack with Tiki 18.1
hmm, not sure why I thought I was running Tiki 19 yesterday, clearly wasn't paying attention
so I'd enabled plugin R but it wasn't installed?! hmm, seems odd
Jyhem: sorry lincolna, no time today. Do you think you could enter a bug on dev.tiki.org and reproduce the issue on a Tiki18 "show" instance?
lincolna: I suspect its something with my setup rather than a bug per se
ok, so fun fact - if I uninstall R from the system, same error still
so it's like Tiki is not finding my R install?

lincolna: is there something I need to do to point Tiki towards it?

Jyhem: lincolna: as I mentioned, I will be away for the day, but I am interested in looking this up tomorrow afternoon if you are available.
lincolna: probably
as said,I tihink its a setup issue, not a bug
but have basehd my head against it for long enough now

I'm not really prepared to set up another tiki install for this mind
interestingly, I tried applying the "r_test" profile, but that doesn't work either
Oh wow, the mathematical calculation tracker field's syntax is gibberish
Or maybe it isn't, but the examples given in the docs simply don't work
marclaporte: joined #tikiwiki
lincolna: the example says "(tracker-field
(object type object-id)
(field priority)
)"
should return the contents of that field
but what it actually returns is "Variable not found "type"."
and turns out I didn't need that anyway

hi lincolna, yesterday I just wanted to know wether you are more into R or more into Tiki, as I have nearly no knowledge of R but am interested to use R in a Tiki project.
lincolna: I am working with tracker field mathematical calculation and it works. Anyway it is partly limited to either numeric fields data or numbers of dropdown/multiselect. It cannot calculate numbers from static text field (static text is not considered as number) ... I need it to calculate the price of a conference based on partipants type
lincolna: fabricius - later realised I could use stuff from that tracker without using the ludciorusly complicated syntax
anyway, never really used R before, but wanted to plot some stuff from a tracker
and pluginR seemed to be the only real option
and having R available on the wiki is nobad thing
fabricius: lincolna: *as far as I know* you need an R server installed on the same machine as where Tiki is installed and R servers do not run on average shared hosting. The R calculation runs on the R server whilst the display runs in Tiki with R plugins interlinked to that server.
lincolna: I've got R installed
fabricius: ok
lincolna: but it's not working. The fact that I get the same error with and without R installed is interesting
fabricius: Then maybe one day I might come back to you when I have some beginners question about how to get R server running, given i have an adequate machine (ex. a Docker in the Hetzner cloud) ...
... maybe you missed how to connect the R plugin to the server? Did you find the R documentation of Tiki? Xavi from Spain worked a lot with R and made some documentation
lincolna: that's my best guess
the documentation I've found mentions no such connection though
fabricius: let me have a look
