may I suggest that a news post be created so everyone knows about it. Maybe tell us what are the changes.

Cesag just added few icons. There were no other changes.

To get the icons, you will be able to just download the "ModuleAdmin" from XOOPS SVN.

Once we finalize the Basic Module Pack, the ModuleAdmin will be included there as well.

I think is necessary convert all module with this, and remove all personal make pdf.

That's exactly the plan

As you can see in the XOOPS SVN, we have added TCPDF to the /Frameworks, so all modules from the Basic Module Pack will be able to access it directly in one location.

Of course, the challenge will be to convert all modules to use TCPDF, but Black Beard showed how to do it with News, so hopefully others will use it as an example and do the same.

Re: News 1.67 Final released for XOOPS 2.5.5

hello,
Tomorrow, I added these features in TCPDF Frameworks:
- Removal of exotic fonts (an idea mamba)
- Support for some local police (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic) with automatic selection in the file tcpdf_config.php (an idea irmtfan)
- Add files and schinese.php tchinese.php directory
- Update the class TCPDF (5.9.172 => 5.9.176)

If you have other ideas to suggest me, please,

Thank you so much for doing it, and following up. I wish, there would be more people like you! Thank you again!

Let's make this download as small as possible, with only the minimum required fonts. People can download all the "fancy" fonts later, if they want to

It is very important. 11MB is very large.

Thank you so much black_beard.
I wish it could read the fonts from language/_LOCAL_LANG/fonts. It will greatly reduce the size of needed fonts for each local party.

News 1.67 - an error in RSS for topic (news/backendt.php) - after upgrade I lost my polish signs (sth is wrong with encoding).

I replaced backendt.php file with older version (in this moment I don't remember, it was from news by trabis or other) and now everything is O.K.

Below a code from old backendt.php (three differences in first part of code are on red)

Can you change the line:

$tpl->xoops_setCaching(2);

to

$tpl->caching=2;


and see if it makes a difference?

This is the last changed that we've done to this file in Revision 9523, so I am curious if it is causing trouble.

If it still works, try to remove other lines and see which one line is responsible for the problem.

I will try to do it and test tomorrow (it's 23:27 o'clock in my country) - in this moment I'm realy dead after 16 hours spending at work (changes in news templates ), so I haven't a power to do enything except... go to bed.

OT Sorry for my... confused info sending by me from time to time - I'm not a coder (only a webmaster without a solid php bacground), so for me the most important is to have modules working good (not to have "good code"). :)

Mamba,
Line:
$tpl->xoops_setCaching(2);

was changed to
$tpl->caching=2;


and I don't see any differences - an effect is good.

Can you do some more tests to see what difference between these two files is causing the problem?
