Tiki10


Tiki 10.x was released on 2012-12-19, and is supported until 11.1 is released

Even though it's just after a Long Term Support version and there are quite a few new features, there are relatively few major structural changes that will make upgrades difficult or cause regressions. See Roadmap and Tiki10

Since PHP 5.2 started in November 2006 and PHP 5.2.x reached end of life in December 2010, which is two years before the release of Tiki10, the requirements are PHP 5.3.x

If you require pre-5.3 support, you can use Tiki9 which is a Long Term Support version.

It is now possible to integrate very large files into the Tiki File Gallery using Batch Upload.
See Batch Upload for details.

1.2. BigBlueButton

  • It is now possible for admins to delete recordings

Permission Check: If Tiki installer and tiki-check.php fail, Tiki Permission Check can be used to figure out some details about filesystem permissions needed by the webserver to make those ones work.

  • tiki-check.php checks the server is appropriately configured for Tiki. See: Server Check

1.4. Code Review

1.5. Comments and Ratings

1.15. Mail Queue

There is a new feature to place all notification email messages in a queue, and send all those emails periodically through a Cron job using ./sendmail.php script.

This requires setting up mail delivery with a SMTP server instead of just sendmail, and set it to use a Queue.

1.16. Maps

  • OpenLayers upgraded to 2.12
  • Added MapQuest Open tilesets
  • And many many other fixes and improvements which were made for the CartoGraf project, an interactive web-based mapping application to enhance learning in history and geography classes in high schools. CartoGraf is mainly based on Maps, Drawings, PluginAppFrame and Trackers. This is a great example of how to use profiles to use a general purpose app (Tiki) to make a very specific application (CartoGraf).

See #Structures_Drill_Down_menu

1.21.4. PluginTrackerCalendar

It allows managing tracker items as resources in a calendar view: i.e. it uses FullCalendar ResourceViews to render the content of a tracker. The feature is not using the Tiki feature Calendar, so that you don't need to have "Calendar" feature enabled for this plugin to display data in a calendar view.

This is thanks to the inclusion of the jCapture applet in Tiki.

See: ScreenCast
