What Tiki version are you running? I'm pretty sure that you're going to need the Must Be Wiki Parced option in order to include the plugin in the module.


To find the category ID:

  1. Go to your Admin Categories page (../tiki-admin_categories.php).
  2. View the HTML source of the page.
  3. Look for the code that includes the DELETE button and note the HREF shown. It should have something like &removeCat=XX. The XX is the ID for that category.


If you're still having problems, send me the page.

Ah... the 1.8 branch is very old — I encourage you to upgrade. You'll get more options, better performance, and tighter security.

I am unfamiliar with the 1.8 stuff, sorry.

Okay...I'll have to upgrade then...Any ideas how much time would it take or how much time the website should be closed, is it a comlicated process or it quite simple?

I've been checking out the docs and the forums for a couple of hours now and as it seems I'll need some help on this. As I saw every1's having problems with upgrading, god knows why there is no automatic upgrade, but the thing is that I don't think I would be able to do this on my own as I can understand a damn thing about the whole process...so if any1 has an idea of how the upgrade is done and think it could be explained as simple as possible...please drop a line

It should be pretty easy. See the docs for details].

Running the actual upgrades script will take only a few minutes, depending on the size of your database. If you've made any customizations, you'll need to forward-port them, too.

1. what are the main steps I need to do in order to update apart of the sql database backup


2. what are the main reasons for the update - I mean what are the main new features (in terms of security 4 example)

Hi Dokki:
mmmm, complicated process? It's fairly simple!
Please, read the documentation about Upgrade, and try first in local, if you prefer, always with a copy of your database as Backup, just in case any minor problem arose.

I offer to help you, if you also offer to improve the documentation rolleyes (http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Documentation) where needed (and "if" needed wink), with the information some of us will give you, wherever you get lost from the current documentation pages.

You might get some warnings of duplicated indexes, xxx already exists, etc. but they are just to tell you that tiki checked if that was created, and attempted to re-generate that table, index, or whatever just in case.

I've invested already some hours for you to update the documentation pages, but screenshots are not in English.... (that's something easy you can help with: take screenshots of your whole process in English, and update the docs. when you are sure that you understood the process, etc.

What do you think about it? :-)

HTH
