! Console
Tiki Console is to administer your Tiki instance via the command line. It is based on [http://symfony.com/doc/master/components/console/introduction.html|Symfony's Console Component].
You can also use via ((Manager|instance:console in Tiki Manager))

~tc~ {img fileId="802"} ~/tc~
!! Examples
Below are some common examples of how to use the console. They are typically for a recent version (so if they don't work, it could be that your Tiki is too old)
!!! Help on database update
{CODE()}php console.php database:update --help
{CODE}
!!! To mark an upgrade error as registered (so it will be ignored)
{CODE()}php console.php database:update --auto-register
{CODE}
'' This is useful if you get database errors such as "Duplicate entry..." sometimes''
!!! Help on database install
{CODE()}php console.php database:install --help
{CODE}
!!! Translations
{CODE(colors="shell", ln="0")}
translation:englishupdate Fix English strings after modifying them.
translation:export Unavailable: Update language.php translations from the database
translation:getstrings Update language.php files with new strings
translation:percentage Unavailable: Get the translation percentage for each language.php file
{CODE}
!!!! Translation Update Examples
For example if you fix a typo in a string which is already translated, e.g. you fix "Setttings" to "Settings":
{CODE(color="tiki" caption="Fixing a typo in the original English string for all languages")}
php console.php translation:englishupdate
{CODE}
It will update all languages without modifying the translated part (in case it was already translated), so e.g. in the French language.php it will fix this:
{CODE()}
"Setttings" => "Paramètres",
{CODE}
To this:
{CODE()}
"Settings" => "Paramètres",
{CODE}
Without the need to re-translate the string which had a typo in the English original again.
!!!! Parameters
You can use the following parameters with translation:getstrings
{CODE(colors="shell", ln="0")}
[-l|--lang [LANG]] [--outputfiles] [--exclude [EXCLUDE]] [--include [INCLUDE]] [--basedir [BASEDIR]] [--filename [FILENAME]]
{CODE}
{CODE(color="tiki" caption="Getting string for a single language")}
php console.php translation:getstrings --lang=en
{CODE}
Note: The basedir parameter is working only if it point to this or another Tiki root directory (will search for /lang/...)
!!! Batch Upload
''A console command for ((Batch Upload)) so you can set a scheduled batch upload cron task''
{CODE(caption="Example command line usage" colors="shell")}
# file according to sub-directory name and create missing galleries
php console.php files:batchupload 1 --subdirToSubgal --createSubgals
# file according using sub-directory with integer name into gallery with corresponding ID
php console.php files:batchupload 1 --subdirToSubgal --subdirIntegerToSubgalId
# set file user etc so apache can manage the files afterwards
php console.php files:batchupload 1 --fileUser apache --fileGroup allusers --fileMode 0775
# upload files from a different directory
php console.php files:batchupload 1 --filesPath /var/www/other/uploads
# more help
php console.php help files:batchupload
{CODE}
!!! Plugin List Execute
Actions can be run in conjunction with ((PluginListExecute)):
{CODE()}
php console.php list:execute "Page Name" "Action Name"
{CODE}
If you see this type of error message:
{CODE()}
[root@server]# php console.php list:execute "Batch Sync Users" "SyncUsersTrackers"
Command not available at this stage. Complete required installation steps.
[root@server]#
{CODE}
You may need to update the database schema first, with the usual:
{CODE()}
[root@server]# php console.php d:u
{CODE}
!!! Wiki Plugin Approval
{CODE()}
plugin:approve
plugin:list
plugin:refresh
{CODE}
!!! Disable the Installer
Disable the installer:
{CODE()}
php console.php installer:lock
{CODE}
!!! Manage files from file galleries
Copy files from a gallery to a regular directory on the filesystem:
{CODE()}
php console.php files:copy 1 /tmp/dest/
{CODE}
Move files from a gallery to a regular directory on the filesystem:
{CODE()}
php console.php files:move 1 /tmp/dest/ --confirm
{CODE}
!!! Clear Caches and options
{CODE(caption="All the cache")}php console.php c:c
{CODE}
{CODE(caption="All the cache")}php console.php c:c all
{CODE}
{CODE(caption="Help")}php console.php c:c help
{CODE}
{CODE(caption="Database cache")}php console.php c:c private
{CODE}
{CODE(caption="Modules cache")}php console.php c:c modules
{CODE}
{CODE(caption="Templates cache")}php console.php c:c templates
{CODE}
{CODE(caption="CSS and JS caches")}php console.php c:c public
{CODE}
!!! Users commands
A few commands related to user management are available in the Tiki console.
{CODE()}
users
users:create Create a new user
users:list Display the list of users in the system
users:password Set the password to a given user
users:unlock Unlock a user
{CODE}
{RBOX(title="Note")}If you get -+Credentials file local.php not found. See http://doc.tiki.org/Installation for more information.+- message it means you are doing fresh install from command line and need to create the -+db/local.php+- file manually first or run the Installer via a web browser.{RBOX}
