does any one have a diagram how to install forum and shout box? Does anyone can tell me exactly what files gowhere? Teir instructions are very confusing

Thanks

See if the diagram in this wiki article helps.

bye, Dirk

I'm getting errors with those pictures on that page. The link is not correct:

The href is wrong:



Here's the direct URL http://wiki.geeklog.net/wiki/index.php/ImageluginInstallOverview.jpg

i can not see anything there it is no JPG there

Helpppppppp

http://wiki.geeklog.net/wiki/images/3/32/PluginInstallOverview.jpg

That should work.

bye, Dirk

I`d suggest to extract and move the files on your hard disk before you copy them over with ftp.

can anyoane can be more explicit on how to install the forum? What file goes where? Anyoane?

Thanks

It would probably help if you could be a little more explicit about the problems you're having.

I mean, the forum does come with installation instructions and you've been given a diagram to help. So what are the problems you're having?

bye, Dirk

I tried the instructions but they are confusing, i do not know exactly what files goes where same with the directories. i tried but did not work

Here's the install instructions for mediagallery. I think these instructions are a bit clearer than that graphic above. Just substitute forum where ever it says mediagallery. Hopefully this will give you a better feel for how Geeklog and its plugins are laid out.

I installed now but when i try to creat a new topic a s a user I get this error:

An error has occurred:
2 - htmlspecialchars(): charset `iso-8859-2' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 @ /home/napoca/public_html/forum/createtopic.php line 923

Help

That appears to be a problem that the forum has with "foreign" character sets. A quick search for that error message turns up previous discussions of the issue, e.g. this one.

bye, Dirk

Ok i fixed that problem, but I have a question, how come the instalation did not create a DB in Mysql do I have to create onae? What file I have to edit for the data base?

Thanks

i get this error now:

An error has occurred:
2 - htmlspecialchars(): charset `iso-8859-2' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 @ /home/napoca/public_html/forum/include/gf_format.php line 96

Does this question have anything to do with the rest of this thread?

You create an empty database, then run Geeklog's install script, which creates the tables. But from the look of things, you're way past that point, so I'm not sure what you're asking here ...

bye, Dirk

Same error as above, hence the same solution as above ...

bye, Dirk

it works now i just asked if the forum uses a Data Base like Mysql.

Another problem
When someone posts a new mesage or reply does not show in the forum, as new, the icon at the begining does not changes color why is that and how can I fix it?

Thanks

Are you logged in as a different user to the user that posted the message to the forum?

i am not loged in just the main index page for forum the icons does not change color if there isa a new message why is that? Do they have a language package and in what file i change the language setting?

If you are not logged in then how can the site track who has read what :speechless:

You need to be logged in and not the user that posted the message to see the icons change to indicate un-read/read topics/forums.
