Ideas

WordPress Import

I have a wordpress blog and I want to migrate to tikiwiki. For this I need an import function. Although I don't want to import all my posts to a tikiwiki blog: I'd rather transform the posts in wiki pages, and use page trackers to show a list of the last created pages on the homepage...

TrackerClasses


(I'm writing this very spontaneously - still have to give a nearer look to trackers)

Tracker-classes could be developed, from which trackers would inherit fields, default properties and default values. They'd be like dynamic categories (Naturally I'm not talking about php classes: every tracker-class would be a dbelement and selectable in the tracker edit form).

For example, in an encyclopedia:

  • tracker page //main one with the fields name and content
  • abstract tracker city extends page //adds fields for meta-data like country (select from country list), inhabitants, altitude...
  • tracker London extends city //... and now imagine the edit form


An other example: the comment tracker would extend the page tracker, but add a parentObject field. Just an idea...

EverythingATracker


IMO tracker are so abstract that they could integrate wiki pages, forums, blogs, comments, (preferences, modules, templates, trackers themselves?)... Everything could be a tracker item. There are of course missing tracker functionalities to do this.

  • Tracker item history (optional)
  • More tracker-template integration (e.g. a default tracker view template).
  • ...

Flickr Support

Embedded slideshows and pictures.

Bugs?


I installed tw on xampp, and with pear enabled it failed because it tried to redeclare zend_filter_interface. Had to disable pear...

Dev notes.

Libs:

  • Include a lib: global $foo; include_once('lib/foo.php');

  • remove_object(type, id) - uses objectlib::delete_object() (strangely insert_object is never used)
  • remove_all_versions(page, comment) - uses
