    • Random Article shows String instead of SEFURL

    Posted by caylean posts: 6 Philippines

    Hi again,
    while I had just written my first Posting a moment ago, i wanted to point out something else that seems odd to me and where i would need some enlightment.

    I have set the SEFURL's and it seems all fine. Instead of http://www.domain.tld/tiki-index.php?page=HomePage i get the Link as http://www.domain.tld/HomePage.

    Having my first Article published I found that noone can find it, as there is no such thing as a default Menu, so i had to create one.

    First thing that easily worked was the Random Posting Modul.
    But now that one shows me instead of the SEFURL again the String.

    Why is that and where can i change that?

    At tiki-admin.php?page=sefurl is no Option to change anything else than the option to turn SEFURL's on.
    In tiki-admin_modules.php and at my Random Post Modul i can't find an option either.

    What do i miss?

    Kindly
    Caylean

    Hi caylean,

    there are different ways to create and setup menus.

    1.) standard menus @ tiki-admin_menus.php
    There you can setup the menu items (options and sections of several levels)

    2.) wiki structure menus => you activate wiki structures @ tiki-admin.php?page=wiki and then make a structure from a wikipage, where you can add new wikipages to the structure dierectly

    1.) + 2.) now you need to apply a "module menu" @ tiki-admin_modules.php and give the new module the Id of the menu or of the structure and apply the module to one of the module zones (left, right, top, topbar, pagetop, pagebottom, bottom).

    3.) you can add links on a wikipage and use the "module menupage" @ tiki-admin_modules.php to use the wiki page content as menu (with the advantage that cou can easily let user groups edit the menu without giving them advanced permissions.

    4.) you can setup a menu manually with html and optionally Smarty, jQuery/JavaScript and WikiSyntax, even nestimg several modules to get an advanced navbar, when you setup a custom module.

    Once you created your custom module @ tiki-admin_modules.php (second tab), gave it a name and added in your html and optional other code, you can apply it (first tab). No pronblem to change content of the custom plugin later on.

    5.) you could even figure out some navigation with categories, but that seems to be some advanced.

    Wow, thank you very much!

    I'll give it a shot.. but still.. wow.. For some reason the creation of some 'simple' Menus seems so complicated. Coming from a Wordpress with its widgets, the Wiki settings seem to be rocket science ;)

    Hope i get it all right.

    Than you Thorsten,
    I have just created my small Navbar.

    • Home Page
    • Categories
    • Articles (Didn't knew there was a difference between Page and Article, thought its the same thing)
    • Pages

    At first i had only a 'hard coded' Home Page Link. Now it is all created with the QuickURL Button.

    • Added a admin-only visible Create Page Module.
    • Added a basic Search without any extra Buttons. Clean and neat.
    • Added a secondary Categories Modul. (Added it in the Navigation afterwards, so its now useless here)

    Still existing random Posts modul that shows instead of SEFURL's the Link to the Random Page as http://www.domain.tld/tiki-index.php?page=word1%20word2 what still needs some fixing, or i just kick it, but that wouldn't really solve, but remove the Problem.

    Right now i am thinking about to check if there is a htaccess possibility to hide .php extensions, as I do not like the http://www.domain.tld/tiki-listpages.php URL, but then i still don't know if that would also hise the php in the Link and i do not think it will, so might even stay as it is.

    Kindly

    Edit: Edit is solved as i found the Filter Icon and enabled "Advanced" ....
    I just found this Page here: https://doc.tiki.org/Wiki+Page+Listings#contentfeatures-1 ... where is THAT hidden in the new Tiki?I have just checked that i really use the Tikiwiki, as i got really confused here, as i often stuble about features that i am just unable to find! I found it as i was checking what .tpl file i would have to edit to kick some information out here, like Hits, Last Edit,  Last Author and Version. All unneeded information here, as the site is just meant to be an overview of available Pages.

    Where do i do the wrong way?
    press ... -> tiki-wizard_admin.php?stepNr=0&url=index.php
    press "Go to Control Panels" -> tiki-admin.php
    press "Wiki" -> tiki-admin.php?page=wiki
    change to "Page Listings" -> tiki-admin.php?page=wiki#contentadmin_wiki-4

    Here was List pages already active, so i tried to deactivate it and my Navmenu "Pages" disappeared. Reactivated it and it came back, but i got no other options available.

    Added a screenshot.. there is really nothing i can see where I could find the options that i see in the tikiforsmarties.com page.

    Sigh ... so confusing sad
