I upgraded a Tiki from 24 to 25 after completing the installation I landed on the homepage with errors displayed :
Field searchable does not exist in the current index. If this is a tracker field, the proper syntax is tracker_field_searchable.
And many No results for query.
While this is normal, as I didn't ran the index:rebuild command, this is not very elegant and can be improved;
First, in such case a message with a link should be displayed about completing an action and not a page full of errors as that doesn't look good.
When the unified-index doesn't exist a modal warning over the page "Tiki detected that..." with an invitation to action "for your Tiki to work properly you must run rebuild command". If you have a small database you can run it from here else please use console.php.
A option to close the modal (admin choice to continue) and display the page.
Ideally the installer should automatically do such operation.
One difficulty is that we don't want run from the HTML the index:rebuild command to run on a large database as there are chances of timeout.
Tiki could suggest at the end of the installation process;
"You upgraded, before entering your new/upgraded Tiki you must run the index:rebuild command"
If possible a database size detection and offering suggestion;
"The Tiki installer script detected that your database size is: nnn"
We recommend:
If the database size detection is not possible or too complicate (it may depend of server OS ?) we can simply give recommendation and offer to run the command for the user or suggest him to do it using console.php.
The URL for the show2.tiki.org instance that demonstrates this bug is at: http://bsfez-11581-8227.show2.tiki.org. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show". This is different from the initial login and password for a new Tiki which is "admin" and "admin".
For the install log, see http://bsfez-11581-8227.show2.tiki.org/info.txt
Note that if you see PHP errors or a Tiki claiming to be missing third party software, the instance creation is probably not finished. Please wait a couple minutes and reload.
Snapshots are database dumps of the configuration that developers can download for debugging. Once you have reproduced your bug on the show2.tiki.org instance, create a snapshot that can then be downloaded by developers for further investigation.
Snapshots can be accessed at: http://bsfez-11581-8227.show2.tiki.org/snapshots/. Note that if you get a popup asking for a username/password, please just enter "show" and "show".
Create new snapshotTo help developers solve the bug, we kindly request that you demonstrate your bug on a show.tikiwiki.org instance. To start, simply select a version and click on "Create show.tikiwiki.org instance". Once the instance is ready (in a minute or two), as indicated in the status window below, you can then access that instance, login (the initial admin username/password is "admin") and configure the Tiki to demonstrate your bug. Priority will be given to bugs that have been demonstrated on show.tikiwiki.org.
