Blaine,

could you be more specific about what you mean by "no localisation"? Going through the hassles of trying to build a localised German site myself, I am aware of a couple of stumbling blocks, but the ability to create a localised site is certainly there.

As for the templates: You shouldn't have to redo your custom templates after an upgrade. It's true that when adding new features (such as the ability to post stories to be displayed at a future date, added in 1.3.3) you have to had a couple of lines of code, but these kinds of changes are rare. In general, you should be able to use your "old" theme with a new Geeklog version without any changes.

bye, Dirk

Dirk,

I was getting picky because the exercise was to find five for each question. I\'m certainly a big fan of GL and most impressed with it\'s out-of-the-box functionality and effort to get it installed. Having said that, this was my reasoning:

Templates: I have modified (not my first choice and possibly not required) lib-common.php to change the default header labels and insert link with title and image to gallery. I tried setting the default layout in the config.php but found it still was not enough. I like the use of the languages files and have modified constants there as well - as in the primary calendar name to \"Family Calendar\".

Localization: I could have been more specific here. I was actually refering to using univeral time (UTC) and having all time based output adjusted based on local timezone.

Cheers,
Blaine
