|
1.9. PDF: New generator (mPDF) | |
Already in 15.2 This only concerns upgrades from Tiki 15.1 or earlier. mPDF was added to Tiki 15.2. mPDF becomes a new option to create PDFs from your wiki pages. mPDF cannot be bundled with Tiki due to licensing restrictions (and size because of included fonts). But, it is easy to install. A good alternative to PluginArchiveBuilder See also: To display PDFs in your wiki you can use PluginMediaPlayer or PluginWebDocViewer. |
1.10. Print Settings (Control Panel) | |
Since Tiki 16.2, the options related to printing to html or pdf have been gathered together in a new Control Panel called Print Settings. See Print Settings |
1.11. Trackers | |
1.11.1. Tracker Transaction | |
Trackers had the ability to be filled in steps through multiple wiki pages, but they currently also have the chance to have the changes of all those pages committed only in the last step. This means that, before this Tiki version, each step (implemented manually with wiki pages and custom plugin tracker calls) was inserting or updating data to the tracker item. See:
|
1.11.2. Field Group selector extended | |
Since Tiki 16.2, group selector tracker field allows to set Email Notification for all the users in the select group. See: Group selector |
1.11.3. Field Location | |
Location Tracker Field: Added address lookup options from other fields in the same tracker. |
1.11.4. Field Item Link | |
Item link: Added the ability to display results in a table, and to select items from a list with checkboxes in order to have a Mathematical Calculation Tracker Field process some math out of some numeric fields provided in the linked items. Since Tiki 16.2, new options have been added to tracker field "item link":
|
1.11.5. Field Static Text | |
Enhanced. Since Tiki16.2, a new option in tracker field StaticText allows to use "pretty tracker" syntax in them to enable values from other fields in that tracker to be displayed per item. It currently works with:
|
1.11.6. Field User selector extended | |
Since Tiki 16.2, user selector tracker field alows selecting multiple users, and that selection can be on a full list of site users, of filterable by groups of users: This is also useful for notifications to user creators/owners of a tracker item, to handle permissions per item when no full permissions are granted in the whole tracker level but only to the items that the user is set as creator/owner of the item. See: User selector |
1.11.7. Tracker item permissions | |
Since Tiki 16.2, the core tiki permission system has been extended to allow trackeritems inherit object permissions from parent trackers. The side effect is that permission levels are now composed allowing for greater flexibility, i.e. object permissions are complemented with category permissions and then with global permissions, which in fact has been the expected behavior, but it was not always enforced in edge-case-usages of trackers. |
1.11.8. Tracker field permissions | |
Since Tiki 16.2, a new case has been added: admin_editable_after: non-admins can insert but not update and still are able to see the field. Administrators can edit that field. |
1.11.9. Tracker prefix for field permanentNames | |
You can set a prefix in each tracker configuration to get prepended to the Permanent Names automatically generated for its tracker fields. This helps the process to have all tracker fields have consistant names with a common prefix corresponding to the tracker where they belong to, and facilitates using the right field in advanced setups with PluginList, PluginListExecute, PluginPivotTable, PluginTrackerCalendar, PluginMap, etc.
