Renamed pages from bugs:tralala to fixed:tralala

gerdami 13 May 2008 15:44

When a bug is fixed: applauses!
However, a renamed page from bugs:iframe to fixed:iframe leaves … a broken link from multiple posts from the forum or elsewhere.

I know that for the mechanics of the list of bugs: there was a need for changing the page from its initial category.

Hence, there is a need for a modification of the PagesByTag module :

[[module PagesByTag category="bugs"  NoTag="fixed"]]

in order to list the non-fixed bugs.

Then don't rename, copy the page, clear bugs:iframe and make it redirect you to fixed:iframe. :)

EDIT: how bad this would break the list :(

Problem occurrs when browing any Forum Thread (i.e forum->Forum Category->Forum Thread)
Brower: IE 7 and Firefox 3
OS: win xp pro sp3

Description of bug/problem:
The problem occurrs when I try to browse any Forum Thread, the result page will only show me "Forum Thread" and rest of the page is blank. The forum worked perfectly yesterday but today it's all blank pages., the funny thing is that 'forum:recent-posts' working still it shows all the lastest posts. The difference from yesterday is that we have a couple new posts today in the fourm.

Steps to reproduce:
just try to browse any thread.

Re: Forum Thread is not showing.

Robo_tec 12 Aug 2008 21:49

Thanks a lot!
that was the solution. somehow 'Forum Thread' lost the 'module ForumThread' code in the page.

I am not sure if it's a bug or if it was the user who deleted that code. what I can see in the 'recent changes' page. that the a user deleted a doc file which was attached to the 'Forum Thread' .

"Forum Thread F 12 Aug 2008 - 22:39:43 (rev. 6)
File "Portalen funktioner Version 1.doc" deleted."

anyway. it works now thanks again.

Critical Defect: Cannot login using custom domain (in IE6)

mohamedali 14 Aug 2008 01:56

Logging in takes me straight back to the original page (no errors or anything, just won't login)
http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-81468/can-t-login-to-custom-domain-from-ie6#post-239734

And here are some other similar threads (some people get the 'security token' error, some get no error like me):
http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-61671/ajax-login-form-takes-forever-account-problem-w-custom-domain
http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-24195/can-t-login-in-ie-7-after-setting-up-custom-domain
http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-24382/log-in-problems
http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-44292/error-logging-in-w-custom-domain

I don't mean to sound demanding, it's just you can't get very far if people can't even login

"create account" not working properly

jkoch 15 Aug 2008 11:34

This problem (see: http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-66083/the-email-can-not-be-sent-to-this-address#post-240398) has been around for a while, however I do not see it listed as a bug yet.

Permissions not propagated to images when site is private and limited to other wikidot users

nigelbalchin 11 Mar 2009 14:25

Hi. This happens when I restrict access to my site for only specific users. The images I have attached to pages for CSS purposes etc. are not visible, even though this permitted user is allowed access to the page content. This is anomalous, and breaks the desired functionality of having a site restricted to the public, but accessible to other members of the community. I don't see any workaround. If you could look at it - thanks.

Re: Permissions not propagated to images when site is private and limited to other wikidot users

Phil Chett 11 Mar 2009 16:10

Pics that are stored in a private site are only viewable to logged in members of that wiki.

Are you experiencing something different?

Re: Permissions not propagated to images when site is private and limited to other wikidot users

Helmut_pdorf 11 Mar 2009 16:57

Do you say - the images stored on a private wiki - dedicated to be used by CSS directly ( perhaps as a logo ) is not used if a member of the private site do visit it logged in and should see it?

One fact is clear - if I visit your private site and I am not a member of your site - I can see only the visit / join/ connect page.
( the "landing" page ). Any CSS-driven Image or logo to be shown in the header or on the landing page is not visuable for me in that case..
Not sure if this works in this manner if the image is attached to exact this landing page…

Footnotes

1. Can't see the forest for the trees (British, American & Australian)
If someone can't see the forest for the trees, they are giving too much attention to small details, and are missing the importance of the situation as a whole. That is, if you are in the middle of the forest looking very closely at each individual tree, you may miss the the fact that you're in a forest, because you aren't looking at the trees from a larger perspective (like a bird's-eye-view). Source: http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/can't+see+the+wood+for+the+trees. Yes, there is bug here!
