What
See Roundtable Meetings for a detailed description.
Topics
First hour, quick news
- The Tiki Newsletters are in a bad shape unless for a few specific scenarios. Is it worth of trying to fix this element in Tiki? (or just in my Tikis)
- ...
Put your topic (max. 5-10 minutes) into the list above
Second hour, longer topics
- Latest pointless rant from that old guy (jonny) who won't be at the meeting anyway, see my comment here
- Let's review Endangered features and decide. Now (post-LTS) is a great time to remove cruft
- Unanswered questions from Matrix chat :
- Does anyone know the purpose of the id="mod-menuleft2" for example that is now added to modules' card-body div?
- Also, why modules' card-body has an inline style "display: block" that overrides the default Bootstrap display: flex?
- Stalled MRs: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/merge_requests/?sort=created_asc&state=opened&draft=no&first_page_size=20 (discuss MRs that have been stuck for more than 4 months)
- ...
Put your topic (max. 15 minutes) into the list above
Recording
Follow-Up
- About my questions regarding module card and card-body classes/properties :
- No one seemed to first-hand knowledge of the purpose of the id="mod-menuleft2" for example that is now added to modules' card-body div. I'll look into the code history, etc. to try to track down the commit and the purpose of the id.
- Actually, I misread module.tpl when I asked "why modules' card-body has an inline style 'display: block' that overrides the default Bootstrap display: flex". Bootstrap's display: flex is on the card div, not on the card-body div, so Tiki's application of the display: block property (for showing and hiding the module body) is completely compatible with Bootstrap.
Put your follow-up action(s) when you're done into the list above

If you did it on master you can always submit a merge request and we can have a look?

You are right not end of life, end of support, but end of regular feature support

I see, so it was a standardization attempt

00:18:40
For eg. for boolean values some Plugins were using: y or n
others: 0 0r 1
others: yes or not
lu
luci
00:19:00
Was it mostly 0,1, 'n' or 'y' ?

I would prefer simplification over complicated computation. So we need to specify what should be allowed and if there is anything else the plugin should fail with an error feedback

I did not test this thoroughly so hard to say what changed by this MR being merged

I will have to leave.
But I vote for putting back articles expiration date that was removed as it was not programmed to be removed 🤗

I tried contributing to a feature my company required on our tiki site (intertiki over ipv4 and ipv6).
It's something I was able to implement for our goals without GUI work. But the discussion in my merge request added some scope creep with more GUI requirements for beginning users (which I get).
But that's not something I actively work on or have a good idea for. So that's why I'm feeling stuck a bit
gu
Guest: Michel
01:20:59
Maybe that's a reason why more merge requests get stalled?
gu
Guest: Michel
01:23:19
Oh it's not specifically about my merge request. But more to give a bit of insight.
gu
Guest: Michel
01:23:58
But I think I will add a comment to ask for help from other people. Thanks for the suggestion

There is no simple way for reviewers to know that open threads all have an answer by the author.
