Tiki 11 was released in July 2013. It was supported until version 12.1 was released, as of Version lifecycle.

** Upgrades **

Things to watch out for

  • Composer Many externals have not yet been moved to Composer
  • URL Rewriting Revamp
  • CKEditor4
  • jQuery, jQueryUI and jQuery Mobile to be updated to the latest stable versions.
  • elFinder is optional but it could affect some things in File Gallery
  • Blog posts with content containing HTML may not display properly after upgrading - place the blog post content within PluginHTML to solve this issue. PluginHTML needs to be approved - if you are converting many blog posts go to tiki-plugins.php to approve in bulk.

Composer

When installing or updating through subversion, some external libraries are nowadays handled differently (using "composer"):

This also means that you might have to install some extra packages such as php5-gmp php-compat in your server (or request to have them installed for your), for optimal work by phpseclib. Otherwise, you might see this type of message:

phpseclib/phpseclib suggests installing ext-gmp (Install the GMP (GNU Multiple Precision) extension in order to speed up arbitrary precision integer arithmetic operations.)
phpseclib/phpseclib suggests installing pear-pear/PHP_Compat (Install PHP_Compat to get phpseclib working on PHP = 4.3.3.)


You can install them in Debian-based server (adapt to your OS if different) with a command like:

Command in a console
Copy to clipboard
sudo apt-get install php5-gmp php-compat


To install on Mac OSX (Moutain Lion 10.8) it have to be tricked a little bit as Mac OSX Unix doesn't come with some basic command we usually use (like apt-get or wget, etc).

You can install http://www.macports.org/" class="wiki wikinew text-danger tips">MacPorts (xcode will be required too, follow the install guide) to get usual set of command required to install what Composer need.
Then you'll be able to do:

Command in a Mac Terminal once MacPorts in installed
Copy to clipboard
sudo port install php5-gmp
sudo port install php5-mcrypt


It is also required you install PEAR php_compat. (since Mac OSX 10.5)

Command in a Mac Terminal once MacPorts in installed to check and install PEAR/PHP_COMPAT
Copy to clipboard
which pear (to check anyway  if it is installed)
sudo wget http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar
sudo php -d detect_unicode=0 go-pear.phar


You should have no more worries installing Tiki and Composer stuff on Mac OSX.
