Mailing

I've fixed up the email alerts so that now when you get an alert it tells you who made the post. Secondly, it will also include you in the email list for your own posts (if you're subscribed to the topic/forum). Because I was mucking around in the Cognos forum and managed to create a ghost topic, I ...

Yep, start a new thread :D

No, sorry, doesn't appear to be. I'll have a look to see if there's a simple mod, but I think for the moment your best bet is the Search function - which seems to work pretty well.

Re: Wiki tools

*Crash bang smack*. Moments later I do stumble across something.

User rights was hiding down the bottom of the special pages. I've made everyone who's currently a registered user a "Bureaucrat" and a "Sysop". No idea what either of those do though...

Re: Wiki tools

Somebody (Jim I think) was asking about editing the menus. I don't think you can. I can't see any obvious way for me to do when I'm logged in as an Administrator, and I also can't see anyway of making other users administrators. If I stumble across anything I'll let you know, but as far as I can see...

Re: Forum Structure

I thought about this John, but after using the Palo forum (where there are about a dozen categories) which I found it quite disjointed and difficult to find which posts were new, I thought it made more sense to keep everything together. Particularly as there are already multiple forums for the multi...

Re: Wiki is up and running

I'm the anonymous friend - I forgot to login. It appears to be case sensitive, but not on the first character. E.g. olap is the same is Olap, but they're both different from OLAP. I guess that makes sense as if you're talking about a word an initial cap doesn't change the word, whereas all capitals ...

Re: Welcome along

Paul: Point noted. I've just had a quick hack at fixing it and managed to break the whole posting part (rather crucial), so I've restored it the way it was. I'll try to have another go when you're all in bed sometime next week so it doesn't disrupt the forum.

Re: Are RSS Feeds Possible on this forum?

I've updated the number of posts to 50, but as you point out it's always going to be difficult with a dozen different conversations to figure out what post relates to which.

Re: Wiki is up and running

Yes, you do have to create a new login as it's a separate third party tool.

To create a new article do a search for the article you want to write about it. It says "can't find it, do you want to create it?" Go from there.

Wiki is up and running

The wiki is up and running http://wiki.olapforums.com . I've taken Jim up on his excellent idea and called it Olapedia. MediaWiki was the winner on the day as GoDaddy kindly did the install for me. Seems pretty easy to use - I haven't broken it yet anyway. Happy wikking (or whatever the verb is). Ma...

Hey Tony,

I've installed a mod that should do this. Looks like it's doing its thing. Hit the orange RSS icon in the top right and go from there.

Re: TM1 Midmarket vs Enterprise

They're trying to appeal to the Small Medium Enterprises (SME) market more with the MidMarket offering. What it possibly is is a capped number of users, a limited number of dimensions, limited number of cubes and a limited number of elements in the dimension. Possibly just the wizard version of TI r...

*KEY_ERR tracer

The tracer I was talking about losing on the Applix forum. It tells you where a DBRW formula is picking up data from in a cube. If there is a *KEY_ERR then it will highlight what is wrong with your formula. Useful if you've got complex reports and also can be useful for building DBRW formulae by han...

Data tracer

This tool (attached) traces palo.data and palo.setdata formula to tell you what dimensions are in the cubes, and what elements the formula is using to map back to the cube. Quite useful if you've got an error as it will highlight the error in red. It's taken from an old one I did for TM1, so there's...

The grand plan

Alan Kirk in the Applix forum: Slightly slower than this one, much faster than Cognos Communities, but it's great to see someone taking the bull by the horns. However... there are a couple of practical issues that probably need to be covered. The first is that I don't think a Forum run by any singl...

This could just be a configuration setting, but it seems that when a new post is made (and you've subscribed) you get a very wordy e-mail TELLING you that a new post is made... but not the content of the actual post itself.

Be interesting to see if this thing flies, but I thought it's worth setting something up to see where it goes. At least we'll know if it'll work. I'm looking for administrators. I'll tag a few users as moderators when they sign up. If I tag you as a moderator and you're happy to upgrade to admin ple...
