Yep, that's what I wanted to advise first, but here the problem is that the "online users" block generates everything from the php side.
The tpl just contains
<{$block.online_names}>

But for other things the Smarty truncate works...

[edited]Damn I've been checking the "online users" block since the beginning. My bad. Sorry guys.|/edited]

The whois says that theonlyhosting.com has been registered 1 week ago USING AN HOTMAIL ADDY.
And that their site DNS is handled by another company

Hey, what's happening today ?

Skalpa.>

Checked that, and it's not possible to do this modifying the template file.

You'll hade to edit /modules/system/blocks/system_blocks.html
And change this line:


with something like this:


( change le 8 if you want )

Hehe, you're fast man.

But so do I

Here is a better link:
it may help you also...
IMO: Try enabling the mbstring extension in php.ini maybe

Didn't see you already found the thing.
And Herko > Here these are the PHP files that are encoded in UTF-8, not db info.
So I don't think there is any better solution for this one.

It's a security feature integrated into smarty.
Like this you can ask "template designers" to update your site appearance and they won't mess your site (useful for big companies, boring for most of the people)

Here's the magic word:
(hehe, I'm the only real mage here, not the old guy )

In /class/smarty/Smarty.class.php change


(in my version it's line 200) and replace SMARTY_PHP_PASSTHRU with SMARTY_PHP_ALLOW

That makes me think there should be a system option for this. I'll try to do it later.
Try it like this.


ajax: It's a forums fault.
The real code (I believe) is this:



Skalpa.>

1) insert <{debug}> in your template, or in system admin / preferences set debug to "Smarty templates"

2) Read this: http://smarty.php.net/docs.php
You may find other interesting things there.

You're right ...

Thanks, I've just been changed that in CVS (and also multiple='multiple' at the same time ).

Until now, the new PM system is implemented as a module. Catzwolf (who started it) made it like this so it would be easier to maintain.
Keeping it like that would require a few more updates to the kernel (for notifications, etc...), but I'm not against it .

No, I'm the one sorry here Thanks for the snippet. I was aware with probs similar to this one when you're on the homepage, so I'll check that. Thx.

WFSection 2 will be a giant leap forward about all this.
Catz made a recent post about it, maybe you can tell us what features you really need, and we can talk about it there.

We do you mean here ? If it is the possibility to create custom content types, you'll have to wait, but I hope we're going in the good direction.

Well, I don't agree 100% with that one. However, being able to change its appearance is needed, so I choosed an intermediary option.
1) The admin is a sensitive part and messing with it is not good. So changing the admin layout should be a bit restricted.
2) When using smarty, the content is sent once everything has been processed, while in the admin it is sent without buffering (so you see things as they are done), and this is an useful feature.
So: I created a way to allow people to customize the admin interface by making a small php script (one function for the header, one for the footer).
However I can't tell you to get it already coz it requires a new config option to be added, so that means it wouldn't work with the actual versions (and in fact, talking about this reminds me of the fact I haven't sent the changes in CVS).
Also, having the outer layout non-smarty enabled doesn't mean you can't use smarty for what's in the "content zone", but it will be to module writers to choose it (in fact they can already...).

200% agreed. I've just made a post on the coreteam site so say how I think this is an important point. And anyway, waiting for that, the 2.1 release cycle will evolve. There will be an alpha version quite early, and incremental updates. That means we'll be able to tell about new features as they arrive, and maybe this can help making a better documentation in time.
Quote:
Actually, it's still in my mind. But the day I manage finding the way not sleeping anymore, you'll have it
Seriously, as 2.1 won't be here right now, consider it's planned for it.
Quote:
It's already there !
Check <{$module.directory}> and <{$module.name}>
Also, theme writers may want to try "Smarty debug" mode in PHP or insert <{debug}> in their templates to see all the defined variables.
In short: this means we really need a technical documentation.
