Re: Test wiki

posts: 4656 Japan

I don't think 110.tikiwiki.org will work well as a demonstration site unless it can be kept up to date. I was frustrated trying to use the site because it's behind the current state of 1.10 beta. So either the site needs to be updated with SVN directly (SVN installed on its server or it moved to a server that has SVN) or else updated frequently with ftp, which is what I do with zukakakina.com. (I use TortoiseSVN on my laptop to keep current with SVN, then do an export and ftp the files (replace only changed files) to the server. This works pretty well.)

It is a drag to sort of artificially create content to flesh out a test/demonstration site. That's why Mike (mlpvolt) dumped and imported the themes.tw.o content to 110.tw.o. That fleshed out the site, but I thought also created confusion because the content doesn't match the purpose of the site. Also the registration method got changed a few times.

Because of these problems, I haven't found that site very useful, and in fact it probably has more negatives than positives as a showcase for Tiki 1.10.

doc.tw.o is using 1.10 beta now, so it could also showcase the new features. But if that aim conflicts with providing docs, which is hard enough to do when it's the sole function of the site, then I'd suggest upgrading info.tw.o to 1.10 or themes.tw.o, or both. Again, having SVN on the server seems to be the bottleneck. So I'd suggest using the SVN export-and-FTP method, which isn't as quick but at least works as long as somebody has the time to do the file transferring by hand.
