Tiki Website Gardeners' Blog

With Gitter migrating to Matrix, the Sidecar, the embedable chat window that opens a specific chatroom, has broken (see https://gitlab.com/gitterHQ/sidecar/-/issues/82), so the button and JavaScript have been removed from the Tiki project sites until the Matrix replacement is ready.

Following up on the decision at the recent Tiki Admin Group meeting, I added the permission to read the Gardeners' Blog to anonymous visitors (and so also search engines, etc.). Before changing the permission, I took a trip down memory lane as I read through all the posts (quite a few, but they're short ) to make sure, as requested, that no sensitive information would be revealed.

Also, as decided at the meeting, TogetherJS and Google Analytics have been deactivated.

The wiki pages of the most recent two Tiki Admin Group meetings were missing from the structure for these pages, and so were added to it. There should probably be a comment on the TAG meeting wiki content template to be sure to add new pages to the structure.

I put error_tracking_sample_rate to .05 so when we re-open, we only get a sample of the errors.

error_tracking_enabled_php: off for now
error_tracking_enabled_js: off for now

https://dev.tiki.org/tracker15 had a notification to the security team email group but there are too many bounces so I removed for now.

Only used by spammers. No benefit.

Pref name: feature_site_report

Today, I invested most of the day for Manual cleanup of email bounces

We are getting closer (still many days of work) of the clean up being done. When this is solved, we can switch to the new mail server.

I asked Josaphat to start working on Email bounce handling documentation (and thus testing) as this will make work faster.

I tried sending myself a test email from tiki.org (via Sendmail) to two different gmail addresses and none arrived. I think Gmail may just be dropping all email coming from the tiki.org server. So we'd better move to new server ASAP.

I started tweaking the modules in the top header on dev.t.o and ended up reworking them with flex classes instead of col ones. I think it works quite nicely for most screen sizes but no doubt could be improved (had enouh now ;)

Thought i'd document it here:

Name	topclass
logo	d-block d-md-none flex-grow-1
logo	d-none d-md-flex flex-grow-1
quickadmin	mx-0 mx-md-2
notificationlink	me-0 me-sm-3
login_box	d-sm-none
login_box	d-none d-sm-block

Settings for sending email at https://profiles.tiki.org/tiki-admin.php?page=general have been updated.

• The new mail server is at mail.system.tiki.org
• Hosted by EvoluData (On a dedicated server)
• Set up by Horia
• Powered by the Virtualmin mail stack
• SPF has been set up
• We use via SMTP with a cron job (every 10 minutes)

It is for transactional email. Another server will later be set up for email accounts for humans/teams.

We are starting with profiles.tiki.org because it is low volume.

We need to monitor bounces and make sure we don't spam.

I changed the permissions on the "info.t.o" category pages so only admins can edit the pages and attach files. This could have been done earlier but I finally got around to it. I had to fix a couple of edits (well-intentioned ones, I think, but not appropriate) and remove one file attachment that looked like it was done as a test, so there were no big problems but it's better to not have the risk.

I reviewed tiki-admin.php?page=intertiki and deleted what was obviously no longer used. I cleaned up the ones associated to me.

I asked amette and he told me some I could delete.

And for the rest, I need help from others (Xavi, etc.)
