Regressions
$profilerequest: was working in blog but no longer Blog uses that and it works in trunk 2009-02-04 It was probably a problem caused by the plugin editor
Fun stuff
configure profile plugin alias with no plugin edit UI
Bugs
The plugin editor, when used on YAML,
messes up the YAML formatting by deleting some line breaks
Todo
Technical
- When installing a profile, there is a huge list. There is a text box to filter by category, but it would be a lot easier if it was a drop-down menu.
- Part of the profile should be a post-installation message, which could be in some cases a link.
- For example, a wiki page (which I presumably just created), with the next steps to follow. This will help when handlers are not yet created.
- Add missing handlers as we need them in an attempt to support all of TikiWiki's data types.
-
Add Blog handler
- RSS handler so we can pre-package TikiWikis with RSS feeds to various sites
-
Profile list has no pagination so it only shows first 25 results
If a wiki page exists, profile should provide a meaningful error message (instead of Handler failure: Tiki_Profile_InstallHandler_WikiPage) or just replace it (keeping version history of course) Now possible to replace or append to wiki pages
- perhaps this is the same thing as above, but when loading a profile on their site the user just clicks on a broken profile and won't get any clues about what is or isn't happening (being nothing) and why.
- After a "forget past installation" or "An error occured during the profile validation. This profile cannot be installed.", there should be a button right there to attempt an installation
- Set up InterTiki on this site
Non technical
Nice to have
- Use TRIM to deploy profile demo sites
- "Save current configuration as a profile" (not sure if cost/benefit is there)
The possibility to ask for data which is to be used as variables in the profile (Something interactive)
- Ex.: ask the person for a username and the wizard-like thingy uses this information to put them in the Admins group.
The Wizard asks the name of the blog This was done, worked and is now broken, so now in bugs instead of wishlist
- The Wizard asks if you want A or B. This would permit simple variants to a profile without forking it.
- A list/log of loaded profiles locally in the Profiles Admin page.
- something on this site that verifies whether a profile works or not?
Once you have installed a profile you can't install again (even if profile has improved and you may have deleted the stuff created by the profile). Maybe an override option would be good. Done
Multiple YAML sections per page, to facilitate readability Done
- To be able to remove modules (ex.: remove login)
Additional settings for groups, like
- Group Homepage
- Users Information Tracker (should be variables of newly created groups, needed for User_Trackers)
- Users Information Tracker Fields (should be variables of newly created groups)
- User can assign to the group himself
Something to help editors detect if there is a problem with the current YAML syntax, ex.: syntax highlighter. Do browser-based YAML editors exist?
Questions
- In tiki-admin.php?page=profiles, should the profile field be a drop-down?
- I don't think so. It's a search field for filter the list. The drop down would contain too many items to be usable after a short period of time.
- Should the plugins support line breaks to increase readability? (example)
- Is there way to "uninstall profile"? I only see "Forget Past Installation" but this doesn't uninstall (for me anyway — Gary).
- No there is not, but you could create a profile which turns off all the features :-) (ML)
