Preview of version: 48

Tiki24

Tiki 24.0 LTS was released on 2022-03-02. It is a Long Term Support (LTS) version and will be supported until March 2027 as per the Tiki lifecycle policy

SVN updates (for all versions of Tiki) will stop in January 2023. This coincides with when Tiki18 reaches end of life. However, even if you use another version (like Tiki 21x) from SVN, you will stop getting updates because the Git and SVN combined workflow will be retired. You should get your updates from Git. See also: Tiki Version control history.


Tiki 24 will be a shorter development cycle and smaller release than Tiki22 and Tiki23, and focused more on refinement of the many recently contributed features.

Tiki 24 requires PHP 7.4 like Tiki23 and Tiki22, and even Tiki25. See PHP8.

1. New Features and Improvements


(alphabetically sorted)

1.1. API

A self-documented REST API has been added exposing the (arguably) most commonly used elements of the system.

A REST API (also known as RESTful API) is an application programming interface (API or web API) that conforms to the constraints of REST architectural style and allows for interaction with RESTful web services.

See: API

1.2. Console

New Console commands:

  • users:remove-cookies to remove user expired cookies
  • performance:check to check statistics of some performance related statistics
  • tokens:clear to remove expired tokens from database

1.3. Date handling

Major change in how we deal with dates, which will make Tiki more reliable when working over multiple timezones. Ref: https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/merge_requests/1073

1.4. Interledger Protocol payments (ILP)

Interledger is an open and inclusive payments network. The Interledger Protocol (ILP) is an open protocol suite for sending payments across different ledgers.

See Interledger Protocol payments

1.5. Modules

1.5.1. Current Activity Module

New module. It displays the current activity of the users (in the list, it displays the type of activity, the name of the activity and the names of all the users who modify a page or a tracker)

See Module current_activity

1.6. Real User Measurement

This new feature reuses a JavaScript library called boomerang that measures the page load time experienced by real users, commonly called RUM (Real User Measurement). With this feature, you find out exactly how fast your users think your site is.

Apart from page load time, boomerang measures performance timings, metrics and characteristics of your user's web browsing experience

See Real User Measurement

1.7. SAML

Upgrade to version 4.x of PHP-SAML
