Tiki Website Gardeners' Blog

As reported by Volker on the dev list (hmm, WSoD on https://tiki.org/forum26 again by the way) "remember me" doesn't seem to have been working since the upgrades to 26.x, and he reckoned setting the pref session_storage=db fixed it for him, so i've done that one dev only for now to see if there's a difference.

It logged me out, and presumably everyone else, sorry about that - could do with a warning 😬

This code was removed on doc.tiki.org on the header_custom_css pref

/* Display first paragraph of wiki pages as a leading text */
#page-data > p:first-of-type, .wikipreview .wikitext > p:first-of-type {
    font-size: 120%;
    padding: 2rem;
    background: #f0f0f0;
    border-radius: .5rem;
    box-shadow: rgba(50, 50, 50, .15) 0 3rem 3rem -2rem inset, rgba(50, 50, 50, 0.1) 0 -1rem 2rem -1rem inset;
}
#page-data > p:first-of-type > br:first-of-type, .wikipreview .wikitext > p:first-of-type > br:first-of-type {
    display: none;
}

We can revisit later.

These are new default security preferences but they don't change on upgrades in case someone needs lower security.

There was a category tree for areas with 4 categories: info, community, suite, translation. Now gone.
Theme control is no longer used at all.

There was a failure of link to Join Tiki in footer of doc.tiki.org so Gary deleted the "Registration page key" content:
"on tiki-admin.php?page=login, which was "RandomString", so "Key required to be on included the URL to access the registration page " is no longer specified but tiki-register.php can be accessed again."

tiki.org has strong provisions to prevent registration spam. Gary and I reviewed all these to make it easier for humans, using a similar strategy to wikisuite.org (which is dealing OK with spam)

Let's keep an eye on this

The Perspectives feature is a little shaky, and using Areas is downright buggy. And when you add Domain redirects, Multi-domain Configuration (mapping the domain name to the perspective ID), there are all kinds of edge cases. And it's difficult to debug because we can't easily reproduce a multi-domain configuration.

Victor and Jonny proceeded to a bunch of fixes from 2023-07-31 to 2023-08-02 on 26x: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/commits/26.x

I think we should stop using perspectives and areas on tiki.org, and if do use them, it should be on dev.tiki.org, with perhaps:

• developer docs
• issues
• translations
• security

All the info is kept up to date Pre-Dogfood Server
