Upgraded to Tiki 29.0, everything is still broken.

Maps is still dysfunctional. Links no longer appear in pop up bubbles. Random tags will show up in the map after a few clicks. Metadata viewer for images are still broken. This all used to work in previous iterations. I feel that there is something corrupt in the database and I need to start fresh. I want to move WikiGrave over to a VM and start again. This will take significant willpower and time.

Getting errors while searching trackers. Working on fixing this.

"id parameter must be provided"

Successfully upgraded from PHP from 7.4 to 8.3. Removed all other instances of PHP.

Successfully upgraded from Tiki 25.3 to Tiki 27.1. Some slight formatting issues.

Now with SSL certificate installed!

Switched back to OpenStreetMap for the moment. Appears to be working.

Resolved issues with TikiWiki Composer plugin. For reference https://dev.tiki.org/Composer

Jumped from Tiki Wiki 21.2 to 25.0.

Notes about upgrade.

• Installed PHP Intl for Tiki 25.0 to work.
• Resolved account lockout bug.
• Updated server operating system.
• Performed a full backup.

I'm trying to figure out how to autofill fields in the memorial template page once the cemetery tracker is selected. It looks like it should be possible but so far no luck.

I'm also working on changing how cemetery names are listed in the dropdowns to include geographical information. I thought there was a way to do this but now I can't find it again.

And lastly, I want to see if I can create some kind of photo ranking system.

I added a second menu to the left-hand side to show shortcuts to the most common pages. This makes it easier to add content faster.

Enabled Search Engine Friendly URL. This took me longer than I expected. Lots of config files to play with.

Adding this to the Display Parameters in the Tracker allows the metadata to be viewed.

metadata=view

So in the Memorial tracker, it's setup like this.

thumb=box&metadata=view&max=800&desc=desc

Looks like we lost the PHP configurations with the latest update. We're currently on PHP 7.4.

New max file size is set to 64mb. This may be changed later.

Configuration info here.

WikiGrave now has a new logo!

Also modified a few items for user generated content.

• New content created by Registered Users will now be assigned to the creator, the assigned users can now modify and delete content that they have created. Registered users cannot modify or delete content created by other users.
• Created a Moderators user group. Moderators can modify or delete content created by other users and can assign other users to an item to grant them write permission.

Modified the "Veteran Status" to default to "Unknown" when creating a new Memorial page by using these instructions.

• Fix permissions for registered users...
• * To be able to modify items but not allowed to remove files they themselves did not upload
• Simplify setting coordinates for item location
• Search Engine Friendly URL
• Add a map/list to the Memorial template that shows other Memorials in the same Cemetery that have the same last name/maiden name of the parent Memorial. This would be a great feature for researchers.
• Copyright???
• Default items in dropdown selectors?
• Show how many Memorials and Cemeteries that have been added on the homepage.

I added a "Tracker" for registered users and have started implementing settings for registered users. For now I just got a basic user registration form with a couple of antibot features. Registered users are able to create new items but cannot modify any items. I have not found a way to limit a way for users to only be able to modify certain items. It's all or none.

Registration is open 😊
