the current revision doesn’t work for me. when I try to login, I get the following mysql error: Query failed: SELECT * FROM wikka_sessions WHERE sessionid=’XYZ…’ AND userid=’admin’ (Table ‘wikka.wikka_sessions’ doesn’t exist)

I installed (with some kind help from the Wikka developers) the 1.1.6.4 development
http://tmxxine.com/wik/

I have reported a couple of bugs but it seems OK. Looking forward to the final release.

We had a lot of spam problems on the Puppy Linux site that I am one of the admins for http://puppylinux.org/wikka/

Again thanks to help and advice we hope to overcome this.

Thanks guys. Appreciate your work. Fast and efficient code.

Has the release date changed? I noticed the tracker still says 12/31/07

Keith, looks like this date needs to be changed to the end of this month. Most of the tickets have been addressed, all the devs just need to do is find the time to get together and test everything.

But keep on us about it!

I installed a snapshot out of the 1.1.6.4 branch and I’m seeing the same issue as ‘raff’. What was the fix?

Also, how do I access the new admin modules?

By: Brian

Richard, this was fixed as of 12/2, so if your snapshot was installed prior to that date, you’ll need to do an update. If you’ve upgraded from a previous checkout of 1.1.6.4, you’ll need to add a field to the wikka_sessions table:

alter table wikka_sessions add session_start datetime NOT NULL;

For more details, see this ticket.

The new admin modules are in the latest 1.1.6.4 checkout. You’ll need to create a page, then include the action in the page:

{{adminusers}} or
{{adminpages}}

Hope this helps…

I did an svn checkout just minutes before my bug report. However, I installed on top of 1.1.6.2. Your upgrade fix does not work correctly in this case — I didn’t have a sessions table at all, nor a status column on the users table, etc. Manually copying each line of SQL out of setup/install.php got things working.

Richard, just did the same…checked out the 1.1.6.2 version, installed it, then immediately ran ’svn switch https://wush.net/svn/wikka/branches/1.1.6.4′ in the working directory. Tables are complete, and I was successful in deleting a test user (logged in from another browser instance) and killing the session. So I’m not too sure why the upgrade didn’t work for you, but it appears to work now!

Has the release date changed? I noticed the tracker still says 2/1/08 … that was 5 days ago.

Thank you, I was missing the registration features, especially moderated registrations.

By: Brian

Brian — Sat, 09 Feb 2008 18:33:40 +0000

Keith, almost there! We have 7 issues remaining to be resolved. Of these, 4 are documentation-related, 1 is a non-critical form enhancement, 1 is a coordination ticket that will be closed once the other 6 are resolved, and 1 addresses the upgrade to WikkaEdit (already completed, working on fine tuning).

So essentially, 1.1.6.4 is ready to go. The dev team is working to get everything wrapped up before the end of the month.

Thanks for hanging in there!

not to be annoying but…. nov 07… did dev stop?

Check it out yourself. There’s been an ugly lot of daily development activity, both on the 1.1.6.4 and 1.1.7 branches. Brian’s comment above should be self-explanatory.
