TTU: Changes to Make

BaxilDragon's to-do list to bring Wikka in line with the grand TTU Wiki vision. Such as it is.

This page is only editable by administrators. To suggest changes, leave a comment here or at WikiRequests.

Changes to Make

Upgrade to WikkaWiki 1.2

STILL TO DO:

Fix UserSettings (and add code changes to installed_mods) to match customized v1.1.6.2 look/instructions
Copy FormattingRules to FormattingRulesFull and make FormattingRules into the simple cheat sheet again
Fix ALL! pages with tables - use new table cell code ... (fortunately the floats aren't tables).
Either fix or disable email page action
- Fix user template: no email links (munging broken by Google)

Add new wanted mods, especially:
- http://wikkawiki.org/UnCategoryAction
- http://wikkawiki.org/MinorEditHack ?? (or something custom to hide TemplateFixer edits from RecentChanges)
- http://wikkawiki.org/ChangesTeaser
- Done: external_links_samehost_fix (links to pages at http://www.tomorrowlands.org pages no longer have the little arrow). n.b.: based on http://wikkawiki.org/KickTheDonkey
- Done: Code in a category verticalizer - http://wikkawiki.org/AdvancedCategoryAction is all div-y and shit :-/
  - Done: 0-item list bug fixed thanks to Goldkin's sharp eyes.
  - Total custom job. Submit to Wikka (possibly along with namespace code)?

ESSENTIAL AND ONGOING

2009/10/30: Last database backup. get one scheduled now that backup support is in.
seed the wiki with basic pages
- Create all templates
- Add all eras
- Add all existing stories
  - (get other authors to do pages for their own?)
- Get all front-page links active
Create all pages with >1 inbound link: see WantedPages
Add some freakin' images to the wiki. ;-)

DONE

omg yay its live guyz 8D

Oh lord. This is going to be huge. On the other hand it will allow me to keep the software up to date despite all my custom mods ...
Reinstall all code mods
- The critical ones:
- Done: User registration password
  - Done: Test this so I can make v1.2 public! (No spambots plz)
- Done: Custom category listings (namespace support)
- Done: Custom name display for links in various namespaces (SpaceOut mod)
  - Done: (Add config items for this back to wikka.config, or do plugins allow self-config ...?)
- Done: Check original "done" list below to ensure all original mods are either ported or obsoleted
- Done: Fix sidebox formatting, which broke again in update (new css?)
Done: ACLs: Default it to allow editing/commenting for every registered user
Done: Remove AdministratePages/AdministrateUsers
Done: relink home page to the new AdminPages/AdminUsers builtins
Done (there were no changes): Ensure robots.txt and favicon.ico didn't get overwritten back to defaults
Page updates
- Done: Fix WelcomeNewUser (new ACLs, etc)
- Done: Fix HomePage (announce upgrade, etc). Also WikiNews
- Fix user template: no email links (munging broken by Google)
Done: Choose theme. ("default" = Wikka 1.1.6 style)
Done: Copy files from test subdomain to genuine one and change wikka config's Base URL
- Done: Remove lock file

Original List (1.1.6.2)

ALSO MIGHT BE NICE

It would be awesome to have a "Visit a random page" action. Awesomer yet to have a "visit a random page inside this namespace/category" action.
Some hack to display ACLs on a page (or look at a table of them)
http://wikkawiki.org/GmBowenAdminPageControlTool for page hides, easier deletes
Homebrew: Templates for auto-creating new pages based on namespace of first word? (probably built on http://wikkawiki.org/CloneHandlerInfo)
Homebrew: Wikipedia-like feature where it'll notify you of changes to your user page (as a way to communicate to other users)
Skins: http://wikkawiki.org/TestSkin++
Better user listing?: http://wikkawiki.org/DescribeUsers
Recently Edited: http://wikkawiki.org/GmBowenRecentEditCheck (hack to flag multi-person edit conflicts)
Page hit counter: http://wikkawiki.org/GmBowenCounter
Better menus: http://wikkawiki.org/WikkaMenus
- not that I'm using the current ones ;-p I can edit those at header.php and footer.php
for page renaming should it become necessary - http://wikkawiki.org/RefactorWiki
- (current workaround: /clone to move to new location, /delete to kill old one. Disadvantage: This removes editing history and comments)
? list uncategorized pages? - http://wikkawiki.org/UnCategoryAction

Also to do: Skim through usermods listed on Wikka:CodeContributions

USER REQUESTS

I'll add any requests here

Changes Completed

Basic installation.
official Control Registration patch
* http://wikkawiki.org/ACLsWithUserGroups
Reset default ACL to require registration & editor group membership to edit
Trim FormattingRules and move full version to preserve it
Add FormattingRules external link to edit page
- er, it's actually already there as "help" button
- maybe better document this with changes to editing template?
Move to permanent home directory (and change config files accordingly)
- And let me just say that subdomaining it made my head hurt ;-p
Add extra info/help to registration page template
- Spamblock: Require code for registration -- (this is done)
http://wikkawiki.org/UserAdmin and new AdministrateUsers
http://wikkawiki.org/AutomaticUserPageCreation
- the WelcomePage for new registrations
  - this feature disabled for now re-enabled; I wrote the page 12/16: WelcomeNewUser -B
(http://wikkawiki.org/RedirectOnLogin could go in later for login redirects)
- this feature is actually done already - changed one line of code myself. Logins now take you to your user page. -B
http://wikkawiki.org/EmailActionInfo: {{email username domain.com}} now makes spamsafe e-mail link
- Updated pages and templates accordingly
Back up sql db and see if there's a backup scheduler
- Done. No scheduler, but download at any time via DirectAdmin
Make new full pre-live backup of directory and database before first public announcement
2007-01-28: Fixed robots.txt and favicon.ico links: see Wikka:RobotsDotTxt
Homebrew hack needed: Auto-format links for Character*, Story*, (others? Event*? Location*?), to read nicely - remove (predefined) prefixes from link text and separate CamelCaseWords.
- Probably based on http://wikkawiki.org/UrlBeautify and/or http://wikkawiki.org/LinkUsingPageTitle and/or http://wikka.jsnx.com/AdvancedCategoryAction
  - http://wikkawiki.org/AdvancedCategoryAction has great code at the bottom
- Done: Namespaces are now defined in php config file. Could use more polish but it's working. -b 20070807
- And also to munge BaxilDragon into Baxil :)
  - Not done yet; better namespace control in version 2. -b
Add filter to Category listing: exclude pages not starting with (word)
- Done: {{category header=0 exclude="Comma,Separated,List" only="Comma,Separated,List"}} works. -b 20070807
  - header: Set to 0 or blank to turn off the "The following X pages ..." blurb
  - exclude|only: Namespaces to (respectively) not display, or display. Only overrides exclude.
