Then sh setup.sh works fine. |
Known Installation Issue: Timeout when installing with InnoDB option | |
We are aware that a minority of users have timeout issues when choosing InnoDB instead of MyISAM as the database engine in the web installer. The workaround for this problem is to install using MyISAM and then running db/tiki_convert_myisam_to_innodb.sql in order to convert the databases to InnoDB. Page contents: |
What is new or improved in Tiki 12 | |
1.1. Activity Stream | |
It allows to create social network activity streams within Tiki. In order to create them, you will need to define what the important events are in your system. Events like "tracker item created" or "wiki page modified" will rarely make sense to your users looking at an activity stream. Instead, they may be interested when photos posted by their friends. The activity stream feature allows to intercept system event, filter them and trigger new events. These new events can be recorded and indexed, which will allow them to be displayed in an activity stream. |
1.2. Admin users | |
You have many more filtering options to select users from the users list. You can filter by a search string in the username, by exact email, by the fact that users didn't validate their account, etc. All of them using the jQuery Sortable Tables feature. |
1.3. Admin wizard | |
See #Admin_Wizard below |
1.4. Advanced Rating | |
Some new functions have been added in Tiki 12.5: less-than, more-than and contains. See Advanced Rating |

Links are shown at the top of the page, as in other tiki features, to add a new article or submission, or view/list articles, provided that the user has the permission to do that action. See Articles |
1.6. Auto TOC | |
Automatic generation of Table of Contents (TOC) for all wiki pages. The page author doesn't have to do anything. Auto TOC generates 2 tables of contents.
|
1.7. Banning multiple registration IPs from user management | |
Since Tiki 12.3, admins can easily ban multiple IPs from spam registrations directly with just a few clicks. They can also optionally remove the user accounts and their user tracker items, as well as their user pages. See Users |
1.8. Blogs | |
Private blog post links are filtered from other users on adjacent blog navigation link. See Blogs |
1.9. Categories | |

|
1.11. File Gallery | |

|
1.12. Forums | |
New forum setting to allow optional display, in each forum reply to a thread topic, of the Rating by each user to that forum thread topic.

A new option "File (debug)" has been added to the "General Admin Panel > General preferences (tab) > Mail > Mail Sender" to allow the site admin to debug any potential issues with the sending of emails related to notifications, user or groupwatches, etc. The emails are still recorded in the Tiki System Log as if they were sent, but they are stored as files on disk under this folder and file structure: Copy to clipboard

Known Issues | |
|
** Known Limitations ** | |
|
** Upgrading ** | |
Blog posts containing HTML | |
Blog posts with content containing HTML may not display properly after upgrading - place the blog post content within PluginHTML to solve this issue. PluginHTML needs to be approved - if you are converting many blog posts go to tiki-plugins.php to approve in bulk. |
local.php | |
If you had defined in your former ./db/local.php something like Copy to clipboard
and after the upgrade you notice that you can't edit some pages, of weird characters are displayed in some rare places, you can try removing that line from your ./db/local.php . |
Mobile permissions | |
If you applied the Mobile profile in the past, and you get a "permission denied" message when you attempt to see the site in mobile mode, you need to grant the permissions to view perspectives to anonymous users:
|
Search Index | |
After the upgrade, the Search and List from Unified Index may take longer to rebuild, at least the first time that you are with this new Tiki version. If the link "Rebuild index" at the "Admin search" panel doesn't produce a successful reindexing, you can do that on a terminal server side, while setting a higher amount of memory for the process, and forcing an initial clean-up of index leftovers. Therefore, you could run something like: Copy to clipboard
Copy to clipboard
|
Syntax for short links invalid | |
In past Tiki versions such as Tiki9, wrong syntax to point in a url to a specific tab was accepted. Example:
|
Themes | |
Some CSS changes were introduced for themes between 11.x and 12.x: Site Logo & Site titlesThe former #sitelogo, #sitetitle and #sitesubtitle IDs have been changed to classes .sitelogo, .sitetitle and .sitesubtitle . Please make these changes in your theme CSS after upgrade if you formerly styled using any of those css selectors. Strasa.css login background colorIf you were using strasa.css theme style, you might miss the background color of the login module in the header, getting white text font over white background temporarily.
