TIKI 5 Les développements et améliorations
Cette page (ci-dessous) n'est pas une description complète de toutes les améliorations qui ont pu être réalisées à l'occasion de cette version majeure dont certaines sont encore en cours (finalisation pour 5.1) aussi allez voir Le plan d'action global et développements Tiki5 au jour le jour pour informations complémentaires.
Nota : La liste est triée alphabétiquement (sur le titre anglais rappellé)
nota important sur la traduction : dans les traductions nous sommes souvent gênés par l'aspect multilingue incontournable de ces documentations :
- les concepts ont une définition précise et le mot de la langue originale n'est qu'une manière de désigner tel ou tel concept dans la langue de son auteur comme en mathématiques, la traduction consiste à trouver un nom de baptême adapté au concept dans la langue de la traduction. Aussi dans cette traduction je rappellerai souvent le nom anglais d'origine des concepts pour faciliter les références.
- il faut trier : alors quoi de plus incongru dans certains cas que de trier des titres pour fabriquer un sommaire dans un ordre différent suivant la langue...
- il faut effectuer des renvois vers des liens, des index non traduits
- Combien de forum, combien d'écran exemples utilisent, montrent les concepts anglais d'origine...
- etc.
1.1. Authentication : Authentification
CAS Authentification est devenu un composant système natif de Tiki 5 et d'autres systèmes au même objet ont été implémentés tels Web server and phpBB.
1.2. Calendar : Calendrier
- Les évènements d'un calendrier peuvent être exportés-importés vers un autre calendrier (dito MS outlook), ceci dans le format "ICAL".
- L'administrateur peut choisir les jours qui doivent ou non apparaître dans le calendrier. ainsi on peut masquer les Week-ends et les jours férés et/ou chômés par exemple.
1.3. Community : La communauté Tiki
Quelques options supplémentaires ont été ajoutées à Administrer -> La communauté ("Admin > Community") de façon à permettre aux utilisateurs
- de voir qui a regardé les informations concernant leur activité et leurs contributions, ceci dans la page d'information utilisateur ("Requires actions logs" : liste des actions requises).
- choisir la période de visualisation
- de choisir si cette information est à considérer comme publique ou privée et alors affichable uniquement sur sa propre page privée de gestion.

1.4. Content Delivery Network : Réseau de distribution de contenus CDN
L'"affichage administration des performances"(Performance admin panel) permet de choisir un "réseau de distribution de contenu" (Content Delivery Network) pour les images statiques et le code jQuery. Pour plus de détails sur le principe et le fonctionnement voir CDN.
1.5. Content templates : Modèles de contenu
Les modèles de contenu peuvent utiliser ceux de pages wiki et localisés par elles.

Quand un fichier va être effacé, un message qui contient le (les) fichier(s) en pièce jointe, donne la liste d'effacement avec le délimiteur ",".
pour plus d'informations voir : Configuration des galeries de fichiers
(Fin de la traduction française au - 15/07/2010-24h)
1.7.2. Move between db and file system
File Gallery allow to store files in the database and in the file system. Nowadays you can move the file in the database to the file system and the other way round, which is very helpful when migrating a tiki from one hosting to another one, for instance.
1.7.3. Admin panel
File Gallery allow to have a special view that displays all the files of all subgalleries under the filegalleries with specific columns allowing an admin to have a quick administrative view of the gallery. Possibility to filter on files not used since, not modified since, orphans
1.8. Group watch of categories
This will allow an admin to have a whole group informed of any change in a category. This is very useful for project management or a Document Workflow. See Group Watches
1.9. HTML Purifier
HTML Purifier upgrade to the latest version: "HTML Purifier 4.1.1 is a major security and bugfix release that improves on 4.1's fix for an XSS vulnerability exploitable on Internet Explorer. It also contains a number of important bugfixes, including the removal of improper logic that could result in infinite loops and fixed parsing for single-attributes with entities with DirectLex."

1.10. Internationalization (i18n) & Localization (l10n)
See "Translation" below.
1.11. JQuery plugins: new ones
New JQuery plugins added to the code base:
- Carousel
- JQuery Sheet
- JQS5
See below for more information on the enhancement of each feature.
1.12. Live preview
This permits to show the results of the edits in a separate auto-refreshing preview browser window. This provides WYSIWYG but while maintaining the powerful wiki syntax.
See video at Live Preview
1.13. Logs
Action log and Syslog have been merged into a single and improved feature, and a fancier name was picked 😊 Logs
Moreover, some actions from anonymous users, such as adding events in calendars and adding emails in newsletters have been included in the system logs in order to keep track of the ip from where those additions of information were made. This way, wherever spam is detected, these ip's can be banned as usual with the Banning feature
1.14. Membership Payment System
The goal, for Tiki5, is to support membership payments via Paypal. So you join a group (ex.: members) and you are sent to Paypal, you pay your dues, and Paypal sends you back a confirmation and 1 year is added to your membership. This will permit to offer paid subscriptions to access restricted sections in a site.
This is part of a strategy to make Tiki into a CRM. (started in Tiki5, better in Tiki6)
System is designed to allow for other payment systems (ex.: Google Checkout), although these are not yet being developed.
This is an important milestone, into making a tracker-based shopping cart in Tiki6
http://dev.tiki.org/Shopping+Cart
1.15. Metrics Dashboard
Initially developed as part of the Support Mozilla project, the metrics dashboard allows the administrator of a site to configure metrics to be tracked over time. The site editors can then use these metrics to investigate changes in usage.
A live example can be seen on the Mozilla Firefox support site. And more information, here: Metrics Dashboard
1.16. Module display for admins
Modules configured to be displayed only to anonymous users can now be displayed also to Admins, unless the "Hide anonymous-only modules from Admins" is enabled at "Admin > Module".

- php-openid updates from 2.1.3 to 2.2.2

Furthermore, wiki syntax is nowadays allowed in spreadsheets and will be converted to html when the spreadsheet is displayed.
1.29. Searchable admin panels
So many features! So many options? Where was that? A new search in tiki-admin.php let's you find quickly!
1.30. Share access rights with friends
Share access rights with friends, as an example, allows you to grant access to a friend of you to see some page which is hidden for anonymous users. It's linked with the feature "tell a friend".
More information below at "Token access".
1.31. Themes: New and old ones
While Tiki is themeable to do anything, the easy availability of nice & diverse themes has historically been a challenge. Tiki used to have 30+ bundled themes. Most were removed because it was very hard to maintain them. Many were just small variations of a few main ones. Nowadays, with the re-architecture of themes since Tiki3 and with theme options, the effort to maintain becomes reasonable.
Thus, Tiki5 includes some of the former themes as variations of the new "Arcturus" theme style to be selected as options: geo, matrix, simple, smartiki....
Arcturus theme style, with some of legacy themes recovered in Tiki5 as options from Arcturus base theme style |
Moreover, two brand new themes (with their corresponding optional varitions) are included in Tiki5:
- Jqui
- Fivealive
Fivealive theme style, with some of its variants |
Jqui theme style, with its two variants (excitebike and troncastic) |
1.31.1. Skeleton theme for designers
Tiki themes are meant to be used with minimal modification. Add a logo, set the title, and subtitle, etc. and they are very efficient in this.
But what if you want to start from scratch? Say hello to skeleton.css, a theme that serves a base for theme designers that want to build from the ground up!
1.32. Token Access
Token access allows to access the content with superior rights with the presentation of a token. The primary use of this authentication method is to grant temporary access to content to an external service. So, in simple words, it can be explained as "share access with friends".
It is also possible to combine with Tell a friend
1.33. Trackers
- Additional filter in TRACKERLIST: to be able to filter on the value of a field of another item
- Additional filter on status in Tracker field "items list".
1.34. Translation: improved interface
The translation interface has been extended in a dual pane window, where the diff between the source pair of versions is shown in the left, with comments and links for previous versions underneath, and the open wiki page for thepage in the target language to be translated to is shown on the right.
1.35. WebDAV
File Gallery can be accessed with a WebDAV client, such as Nautilus from Gnome, Konqueror or Dolphin from KDE (GNU/Linux), or the Open As Webfolder Firefox plugin in MS Windows.
This means also the ability to drag & drop files from your favourite file manager in you desktop computer directly to the webdav-powered file gallery in Tiki. Or re-arranging files in subfodlers, etc. in the Tiki file galleries directly from your favourite file manager desktop application:
1.36. Wiki edit zone
The wiki edit zones (also used in blog/newsletter/articles...) can be resized with draggable resize handles even in browsers not based on webkit like Firefox and derivatives, thanks to Jquery magic.
