orca groups?

Ok, I compile Orca, but the forum (orca) for the groups doesn't seem to look right.

I see "Orca :: Interactive Forum Script" at the top and want to remove the text.  I still see "[L[Author]]" basically the "[L[" on some of the title. How do I remove them?

The funny characters will go away when you recomplile the languages by clicking the little "en" on the Orca control panel.  I would also like to know how to get rid of that large "Orca, Interactive Forum Scripts" title.

That "[L[" still show up, only in my group forum (orca). My main forum doesn't have the wierd character.

You need the same for the groups, login as admin and go to www.yoursite.xxx/groups/orca There you will see [en]

Thanks haai!

Only problem is now, how do I remove "

Orca :: Interactive Forum Script

Anyone?

I'm not sure... but you could try the following:

.

find the file header.inc.php in orca/inc

.

find the second line: $gConf['def_title'] = "Orca :: Interactive Forum Script" and change the "Orca :: Interactive Forum Script"

Thanks. Now that work

This works perfectly, however I would like to go one step further, I applied this change to the groups/orca also, and it changed the line to the custom text I set, however unlike the forums where it changed the title in the browser tab and top left hand corner of browser where it names the page followed by either - Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer etc.. it remains the same as page title:: Orca Forum

So any ideas here guys and gals?

Also change in orca / xml / langs / en.php

Not sure, but you may need to recompile for it to take effect.

Hi, I don't see what you would change in there, this is what that file looks like

/**
* file to get language string, overrride it if you use external language file
*******************************************************************************/

function getLangString ($s, $sLang = '')
{
global $gConf;

if (!$sLang)
$sLang = $gConf['lang'];

require_once ($gConf['dir']['langs'] . $sLang .  '.php');
return isset($GLOBALS['L'][$s]) ? $GLOBALS['L'][$s] : '_' . $s;
}

?>

Have not changed anything there (this is the original)

Also, tried recompiling in admin panel to see if that made a difference and simply got an error : Language files compilation has been failed.  Please check folder permissions.  Any further ideas?  I have not had an error about permissions before, but then again after my install was done and set to go and working after compiling languages gthe first time after registration I have never tried compiling langs in forum again since then.

/orca/xml/langs/en.php

This is what mine looks like.

mmm, That's very interesting, I will need to look further into this, Thanks

You are looking in groups/ orca / xml / lang.php you need to look in public_html/orca/xml/langs/en.php

thanks, yes i was indeed...  Have tried recompiling languages again but still says about permissions error which i don't understand...  I have never heard of having to change the permissions when recompiling the langs...

This is what i get when i try and recompile language

I was referring to orca compile (en), I am not sure as it was a while back when I made the changes, and can not remember if I had to recompile for it to take effect.

My settings

orca >> 755

orca/xml >> 755

orca/xml/lang >> 755

orca/xml/lang/en.php >> 644

Thanks again, I will look at the permission settings and see how I go, but this might be a job for tomorrow now, It is almost 4am here in London and i think my eyes are about to fall out...lol  don't want to mess with the script when thats happening, who knows what I might do.

thanks, will let you know how I get on.

My settings are the same with the exception of

orca/xml/lang >> 755     mine is 777

Should I change this?

Oh and yes I thought I would give it a look over before bed...lol

Will not hurt to try to see if it works or not, it can always be changed back.

Maybe someone else may know the correct setting, seems one of us has it wrong.

killerhaai.  The url /groups/orca is not available at the control panel from the PLUGINS or other location.  If I want to add the link to the ORCA GROUP at the spot where the link exists to go to ORCA FORUMS, where should I put it?

Arthur

Arthur:

Look here: /groups/orca/layout/uni_en/xsl/canvas.xsl  

I think this is what you search for the group...

Thanks Killerhaai.  As it turns out, I have now discovered that there is a little icon of a wrench just below the Logout item on the Admin Control Panel.  I had not seen this before.  By clicking this little icon, the administrator can make changes to the Administration Control Panel.  This is where you can add something easily.  I have now added a link to the /groups/orca.  I designated it to appear in the Plugins section.  Presto! It is done.

Not sure why I had missed this little wrench icon, or failed to try it before.  It is like all of the many nooks and crannies that exist in Dolphin.

Arthur

:) thats correct Arthur..

Killerhaai...Dolphin is a pretty amazing cluster of integrated programs.  The more I become familiar with it, the more impressed I am.

I just wish that there were some sort of a manual that we could access.   I have been working with classifieds, groups, and forums over the past few days...to set up categories for business and professional use.  The technology is very rich. but the instructions are very light.  One needs to "discover" everything. I think it would be helpful to have a Step 1...Step 2...Step 3...etc. for each of the functions.  This would certainly reduce all of the general "how to" questions and frustrations.  It will not reduce the fine tuning that some of us want to add, but that's Okay.

This forum is helpful, and I appreciate everyone's contribution.

Arthur

I agree with you, but you can say also If you have to look yourself, how faster you know the system 
I have now setup our foundation site also to dolphin, were I can use only very basic things... only what I write some earlier, some baic things are not there, like the commenting into news and articles... Lets hope this will come into next versions.

What are the URLs for your dolphin sites?

Arthur

they all use the normal uni template, with some visuals,

Gopoint

FYC


These are the most imported sites... :)

Killerhaai, I had a look at the gopoint site, but could not get to the FYC.

Could not see much of gopoint because I am not a member.

a.

hmmm strange you don't could the fyc site, I' am on it every day :)
But yes they have to be a member  to get everything.

Tried fyc again this morning.  Works fine.

To be more Clear...............................

Look for Changed TITLE Forum(Give your title here......) in groups/orca/layout/uni_en/xsl/canvas.xsl

This helped a lot. I recompiled the language and now the [L is gone. As far as the "Orca Interactive..." I just uploaded my own banner and it went away. Hope this helps.
