Known Issues
Multilingual Structures
When viewing a wiki page within a structure that has translations, the page's language drop-list to switch to a different translated language has been disabled.
Note: This does not affect pages that are not in structures.
Workaround:
- Use the Switch Language module instead.
Storing Wiki Images in ../img/wiki_up
If not using the File Gallery to store uploaded wiki images, Tiki instead will store all uploaded images in the ../img/wiki_up directory. When uploading new images, Tiki may not automatically include the {img ...} tag (even though the image was successfully uploaded.
Workarounds:
- Manually add the {img ...}
- Turn off Ajax.
- Use a File Gallery instead, to store wiki images.
WebDAV
The Tiki WebDAV works with http:// connections, but not https:// (secure) connections. This will be addressed in future release.
Default Password Length
In Tiki 6, the default password minimum length is 5 characters. When upgrading from a prior version of Tiki:
- If your Admin password is shorter then 5 characters
or - If you do not have a minimum length specified
you might not be able to log in as the Admin after upgrading.
Workarounds:
- Change the Admin password before upgrading to contain more then 5 characters.
- After the upgrade, reset the Admin password from the database, as detailed http://doc.tiki.org/lost+admin+password
