Re: Fall back to english translation when default translation isn't available.

I am using 2.0.6 and maybe I am not implementing the translation correctly, but all the system modules I have tried so far require the default translation folders to be present. In other words if you select a language other than danish for instance, if the language folder for danish language and the matching files are not present, then I just get the variable name inserted instead of the english text.

When doing translation to danish it has been a bit of an annoyance that when you add a new module you have to clone the translation first before you can really configure the module or else the module text will not be inserted.

If XOOPS fell back to the english, this would not be a problem.

How do I change the block titles?

I am translating some of the language files to danish, and I have most of the text I use on my site ready. I am still missing the title of the User Menu And Main Menu blocks.

I thought I found the right file:

./modules/system/language/danish/modinfo.php

But the changes I make have no effect.

I tried updating the module in the module administration, but it didn't do anything.

You know, such a module would tecnically not fall under the category "tracker". A bittorrent tracker is a server which keeps information about the hosts currently uploading and downloading data for an ensemble of torrent files. It handles the assignment of download sources for new hosts entering the system.

What you are refering to is really a torrent file server with web based tracker statistics.

Hmm.. I think that should be in section 3.4.1.

I found that setting and tried it before you replied, because it looked like it might have something to do with some caching. So I got it working.

I still don't think it is any use to know what smarty is. All I really need to know is something like: "Your theme needs to be recompiled if you change it. To do that enable this option. And remember to disable it when you activate your site, so it isn't recompiled every time a page is loaded."

And like you point out the theme templates are easily confused with the module templates. It is important to choose the wording carefully in the documentation.

I must say I selected XOOPS because of all the CMSs I have tried it is so far the easiest to configure by far. But still there is a few 'gotchas' it seems.

Funny. That was what I initially tried, but I couldn't change the logo by editing the theme.html file. Now I replaced the folder with a backup and changed the file again, but this time it did work?!

Then I changed the size of the logo by removing the custom size tags, but the size didn't change. Previously I had cloned the templates, and changed to the cloned version. I changed it back to the original, and when I reloaded the page the size was changed.

Is the theme cached somehow? Can I turn of the caching? I presume the above change in size didn't have anything to do with templete set change and that the delay was caused by caching of the page.

Could the caching be caused by an internal apache server setting?

Thanks for helping.

How do I change the xoops logo on my site?

I want to replace the XOOPS logo with my own png logo, how do I do that?

I tried reading the wiki, but I must say the documentation mostly told me things I didn't want to know. The Theme Developers Guide is cramed full of site design theory, but has seemingly no practical information on how to go about changing your site. For instance there is a lot of theoretical info on how themes and templates are linked together, but after reading it, I am still no closer to figuring out how to customize the look and feel of my site. I have no need to know that 'smarty', whatever that is, is the hottest thing since boiled eggs. It doesn't help me customize my site.

I really see the need for more basic newbie docs. Like how do I change the graphics, and colors.

What parts of the site can I change from the system administration interface, and what parts of the site do I have to change by editing files manually? Can I use the build in editors for eveything or do I need access to the actual files via ftp for instance?
