Geeklog Forums

Geeklog looks like a great script. I have some general questions:

1. If I install it in a subdirectory on my server, will it be possible to seemlessly copy the installation over to a new domain after the fact? It would still be on the same server, but would be under a new domain.

2. The language support seems really good--am I mistaken, or is it an exceptional feature for each user to be able to personalise the language? (I didn't notice that option in Xoops, for example).

3. In the Calendar plugin, the directions say:



Does this mean what it says? If so, why the distinction between "my calendar" and the "master calendar"? Just curious... Is it so I can add to my calendar only those events from the master calendar that really interest me?

4. I found some discussion of the possibility of including images with articles--is this practical yet? (I was unable to do it in a "preview" of a test submission).


Thanks for the help and for the good work you are doing here.

Yes, just need to modify your paths in config.php and lib-common.php. I do this all the time
the master calendar would be the site calendar viewable by all whereas the personal calendar works on a per user basis.
as admin you can use images in articles. as the instructions say on the story editor, you should save your story as a draft prior to previewing it if you are intending to preview it. that way your images will be uploaded and properly stored.

hope that helps.. and I don't know the answer to #2.

As far as for the language of the interface, you can set your native (if available) language.

Thank you, machinari-- and robin! --that pretty much answers my questions. If I decide to use it, I will make the the domain change before I add any serious content or modifications, so it sounds like the switchover won't be difficult.

For anyone else that has additional questions on this topic, I located a number of resources by searching for "change domain name" in the advanced search feature. Here is one of them:
