We will create a profile for
SourceForge.net Hosted Apps
Related profile:
Software_Project
So any software project on SourceForge.net will have an out-of-the-box, pre-configured TikiWiki with default installations to include SourceForge.net specific things. For example:
This will avoid this complex procedure:
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/SourceForge+Install
This will be a TikiWiki farm, which will be presumably be running with
MultiTiki or
TRIM. Users will presumably not have SSH/FTP to their Tiki. Only web access.

14:39 hinojosa: I had thought someone sent you something on this
14:40 hinojosa: let me poke around behind the curtains here...
14:40 hinojosa: a few minutes please.
14:41 marclaporte: We just released 3.0 :-) and are ready to proceed
14:42 burley-sf: what's the DB that tiki uses?
14:43 burley-sf: and what's it written in — php?
14:43 marclaporte: php/mysql
14:43 burley-sf: is there a module/method for supporting HTTP basic auth?
14:44 marclaporte: yes
14:44 burley-sf: and some method of auto-creating users upon authenticated login?
14:44 marclaporte: not sure
14:44 burley-sf: should be trivial to add to the auth foo though
14:45 burley-sf: Sounds like it should be pretty painless for us — but its gonna have to wait for a few other hosted app changes first
14:45 burley-sf: we're in the middle of integrating hosted apps into the site proper so auth is handled uniformly
14:45 burley-sf: once that's done I know we're discussing what HAs are next in line
14:46 burley-sf: I can raise Tiki at that time as well
14:50 marclaporte: Thanks.
14:51 marclaporte: My goal is to make an out-of-the-box SourceForge profile (a TikiWiki specially configured for SourceForge) which is a slight adaption of the more generic Software Project profile ->
http://profiles.tikiwiki.org/SourceForge_Software_Project
14:55 burley-sf: that would be really neat
14:57 marclaporte: Is there anything for stats tracking? page hit counter in the Hosted Apps with does a bit like page hits on normal project pages?
15:01 marclaporte: in which case, we would put this web bug in this profile. So page hits on Tiki Hosted App would be counted properly without overhead for project
15:01 hinojosa: have you tried piwik?
15:01 marclaporte: a long time ago, when it had different name
15:01 hinojosa: we have that as a hosted app
15:01 hinojosa: from the implementation we have
15:01 hinojosa: you can use this for site projects
15:01 hinojosa: you should check it out
15:02 marclaporte: I will :-)
15:02 neoneurone has joined
15:04 burley-sf: Once the integration bit is done stats collection will be made simpler/better for hosted apps
15:08 marclaporte: are we looking at weeks away or months away?
15:18 burley-sf: I can't provide any sort of timeline and the only person who can is out of the office
15:18 burley-sf: I suggest you ping moorman
15:19 marclaporte: auto-creating users upon HTTP basic auth? (anything else I should prepare?) Do you have any docs/code/etc about a typical customization of a php/mysql app to become suitable for HA? (I'll start planning this aspect)
15:38 burley-sf: marclaporte: We haven't written anything up for the community yet — I was hoping to write something up to do a presentation about it at OSCON — but they rejected it
15:59 marclaporte: burley-sf: : sorry to hear that
