Re: [Tiki-devel] See activities based on categories, Since last visit (new) category filter troubles

Hi Jean Marc,

Thanks for having a look.

When you look in the Admin => Modules it make sense.
Plus as admin you are supposed to understand better how Tiki work.

But that’s not the case described here.
As the output could have tell you, the user (editor role) was trying to set a module in a wiki page.

When editing a wiki page, in the Wiki syntax help (? Icon in the toolbar) you can set plugins and modules.

In my example: Module Name : Since Last Visit (since_last_visit_new).
On the first part of the modal displayed we can see the module (specific) parameters.
At the bottom of the modal, you have an “Advanced” button that opens a second part of parameters.

It is this second part, module visibility and appearance as I understand and you confirmed, we are talking about.

“Advanced” is not the right term (I cannot see anything as advanced setting for the module Since Last Visit since_last_visit_new here) and this lead to confusion.
Especially knowing that this will be used by non-admin users. (Tiki editor role, editing a page)

This button could be named “Visibility and Appearance for the module” or something better of course. ;-)

Hope you see what I mean now.

Happy New Years Jean Marc 🥂🥳
Bernard
