    • Moving from Drupal

    Posted by kramarao posts: 2

    Hi:

    I have a department intranet that I am running on Drupal. While it works OK, it does not have Wiki. I am considering moving it to tiki. I have a few questions before I install and test it out.

    1. Drupal allows me to look at the access logs — who accessed what page and what page has been accessed by which users etc. Is there an equivalent feature in Tiki?

    2. Drupal allows me to create the top page — It lets me pin an article or post in the top page for as long as I want. Is there something similar here?

    3. Drupal allows me to track all the recent changes since I last logged in. Does Tiki also do that?

    I noticed that the manual 1.6 is a bit out of date. Should I be looking at something else for my answers? Also, are there any extensions that let me do these operations? I really need the feature 1, namely access to accesslogs.

    Thanks,
    KR

    Hi,

    BIt of a Question and Answer session here 😉 These are to the best of my tiki knowledge, if someone else knows better, please post and correct me:

    Tiki doesnt store access logs, however we had planned to use PhpOpenTracker and work was started but never finished, we need someone willing to take this on and complete the integration into Tiki, then I could answer yes!

    Tiki allows you to have a custom home page, or a Wiki Home page. You could use the ARTICLE plugin to make a article sticky on that wiki page and include tiki modules too

    Tiki has a since last_visit module I'm not sure if this is present in 1.7 but it certainly sitting in CVS code right now. as I use it on http://damiansworld.damosoft.homelinux.net

    The documentation is current underway for v1.8 over at http://doc.tikiwiki.org, some features are done, others are in hand.

    Thanks Damian:

    I guess, I can look at phpOpenTracker.

    At the risk of asking too many questions — one more question. In Drupal, I can inform the system how I set up the rewriting system. What it means is that instead of messy URLs it generates clean URLs and the mod_rewrite takes care of rewriting appropriately.

    For example: if http://.../node/36 is going to be /view_node?id=36, then wherever the drupal generates the URLs it generates /node/36, node/45 etc. Does Tiki also do that?

    Thanks much, I already decided to give Tiki a try.

    The start is there, although I'm not sure on the current status of integration.

    Questions are good 😊 They keep in these forums 😀

    See the wiki page RewriteRules or something along those lines. type Rewrite in the search wiki page name box. Ive just set this up on my box this morning!
