How can I control the value >of {charset}? There's a default character set defined in config.php and another character set in the language files. So normally, Geeklog would use the character set from the language file (both for the {charset} variable and for the character set in emails). If the language file does not define a character set, the default one from config.php is used.

The first page displays the first 50 stories and has the "Next Stories" ($LANG24[2]) link at the bottom which hyperlinks over to the next page. After the subsequent page is brought up (i.e., page 2), there is no "Previous Stories" ($LANG24[1]) link. I've checked my liststories.thtml which is correct. I've not made any modifications to story.php with the exception of adding a few minor fields. The culprit must lay within this code: // Print prev/next page links if needed if (DB_count($_TABLES['stories']) > 50) { $prevpage = $page - 1; $nextpage = $page + 1; if ($pagestart >= 50) { $story_templates->set_var('previouspage_link', '' . $LANG24[1] . ' '); } else { $story_templates->set_var('previouspage_link',''); } if ($pagestart <= (DB_count($_TABLES['stories']) - 50)) { $story_templates->set_var('nextpage_link', '' . $LANG24[2] . ' '); } else { $story_templates->set_var('nextpage_link',''); } } else { $story_templates->set_var('previouspage_link',''); $story_templates->set_var('nextpage_link',''); } } else { // There are no news items $story_templates->set_var('storylist_item','' . $LANG24[6] . ''); $story_templates->set_var('previouspage_link',''); $story_templates->set_var('nextpage_link',''); } First of all, I can't figure out where $pagestart comes from (I don't see it initialized anywhere).

(You can see the result at http://www.sandiego.edu/ins/insites/) Geeklog currently takes the lines in a block and puts a
between them (using nl2br). I changed lib-common.php from: if( substr( $blockcontent, 0, 1 ) != '<' ) { $blockcontent = nl2br( $blockcontent ); } to: if( substr( $blockcontent, 0, 1 ) != '<' ) { $blocklines = explode("\n", $blockcontent); $blockclass = '

'; $blockcontent = $blockclass . implode("

$blockclass", $blocklines) . '

'; } which allows controlling the appearance of such text via the appropriate style.css. Incidentally, the copyright year is hard-coded into lib-common.php. Shouldn't it at least be in config.php, as, perhaps, $_CONF['site_copyright']? (It might make even more sense to use the year from the most recent displayed article.)

tags are not wanted), make sure that the block content starts with a tag;

would be an obvious choice. >Incidentally, the copyright year is hard-coded into lib-common.php. >Shouldn't it at least be in config.php It is (as of Geeklog 1.3.7): // Uncomment the following line to set the copyright year in the site's footer // to a specific year. Otherwise, the current year will be used. // $_CONF['copyrightyear'] = 2003; If you want to make that a range of years, make sure you enclose it in quotes, e.g. $_CONF['copyrightyear'] = '2001-2003'; bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://www.tinyweb.de/ From geeklog-users-admin at lists.geeklog.net Tue Apr 29 09:15:00 2003 From: geeklog-users-admin at lists.geeklog.net (geeklog-users-admin at lists.geeklog.net) Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 08:15:00 -0500 Subject: [geeklog-users] User Directory Message-ID: <019201c30e51$57204ba0$f100000a@osiris> I am new, so this is probably old hat, but I would like to implement a User Directory for anyone logged into my Geeklog to see other user's account information, such as address, etc. I would also like to add elements to the user account information, such as phone number, etc. Can that be done easily?

There are a couple of hacks for this (search geeklog.net). Also, some plugins (e.g. the Forum plugin) include such modifications. The next release of Geeklog (not ready yet ...) will include an extension to the plugin API so that plugins will have an "official" way to extend the user information. bye, Dirk -- http://www.haun-online.de/ http://www.haun.info/ From geeklog-users-admin at lists.geeklog.net Tue Apr 29 11:17:05 2003 From: geeklog-users-admin at lists.geeklog.net (geeklog-users-admin at lists.geeklog.net) Date: Tue, 29 Apr 2003 17:17:05 +0200 Subject: [geeklog-users] User Directory In-Reply-To: <37020964a8b902ce568105d12d418817@mail.timetrends.com> References: <37020964a8b902ce568105d12d418817@mail.timetrends.com> Message-ID: <20030429151705.8265@smtp.haun-online.de> (when responding to posts please be careful to respond to the list, not to the list-admin address) Jim wrote: >Good info...thanks.
