Forum

Hi,

I just install com_tfforum_free.zip, techfry.zip

I made a menu: List All Topics and Add Topic

I wrote two items. But nothing is present on the front page.

https://sdtools.nl/ja402/leden-forum
https://sdtools.nl/ja402/leden-forum/add-topic

Joomla 4.1.5 / PHP 8.0.20

What can it be?

Regards,

Milian

Hello

You can check couple of things:

1. In the component options, under Topics tab, Access should be Public.

2. For the topics, Front should be enabled.

Let me know if any of these works.

Ah, thanks it works now. One question left: The top of the Forum is stuck to the menu. How and where can I set some space? Do you have a css for it? Or hardcode in the PHP?

In the menu: List All Topics, set Show Page Heading (under page display tab) to Show.

Under the options tab, you can add some HTML code description that will be displayed above the Submit button.

In the next update, we will add some vertical spacing.

Thanks, I think I founs it. But that is not the top. See the attachment. Do you have an update of techfry.zip Where this can be set? Thanks a lot. Milian

In the mean time I made some space for the top of the page in the .php code.

So far so good. I made a dutch nl-NL language.ini but I cannot change the name of the "Submit" button. Where can I translate this button (twice in the tfforum). Thanks, Milian

For submit button text, you can change from menu options under Button tab.

You can also load Grid CSS from the component options. That will the layout in two columns.

Hi, i see no button tab. Where can i change the button name Submit excactly?

I miss the location. For changing the Button text, Under Button tab. See the attachment.

It is in the menu options of List All Topics.

The screenshot is for component options.

Thanks so far, I got it. I changed the button name in Joomla menu itself. One thing I cannot figure out is the Date. As you can see in the attachment: June 30, 2022. Where and how can I change it in our Dutch Date order: d-m-Y (day-month-Year) Thanks a lot! com_tfforum is almost ready for my live site. Regards, Milian

Please update the component. We have added new setting in component option for date format.

Hi, Thanks for the Date formats! I appreciate your efforts to make the forum better for different time zones and date formats. ---- Is it possible that you did not gives the forum a bit more space on the top? See the attachment. I have to do it manualy in the .php pages:

 

Wil you add this in the next update? Or even a variable space in the Admin? Thanks a lot! I want to do a donation for all your help. I do not want a Premium Membership (for cources etc.) Only a one-time donation. Do you have a Paypal link for me? So that I can transfer the donation? Regards, Milian

Hello

Editing PHP is not required. There are two solutions to get space.

Edit the menu item for List All Topics.

1. You can put title above the submit button - either in description as h1 tag or set show title to enabled.

2. You can add CSS to button class - like my-3 for bootstrap that gives top and bottom margin.

Here is the link for online payment:

Thank you in advance :)

Payment done! Regards, Milian

Thank you for the payment. :)

Really appreciate it and it means a lot for continued development of Joomla! extensions.

Have a good day!

Hi, I still have an issue. In the attachment you see the parameters for the Maximum opload size: 256 MB. (see the red arrow) in the Admin I set the attachment size on: 1000000 (1MB) (see the red arrow) I do not want to show the 256.00 MB I don't know where it comes from. Where can I delete this line: "Maximum opload grooote: 256 MB" Or change it to only my chosen upload size (1000000 (1MB) This is confusing for my visitors (and me:) Regards, Milian

Sorry, I got the solution: I made a language override: JGLOBAL_MAXIMUM_UPLOAD_SIZE_LIMIT="my text". It is a Joomla line Not a tfforum line... Regards, Milian

Hi, I have set Enamble Editor to :YES (for a new topic or a reply) But in the ReplyForm still is the plain text editor field. Hoe can I get my default JCEeditor in the Front. Or even better that I can choose JCEeditor/Tiny MCE etc. whatever a webmaster wants. Regards, Milian

You can select editor from Global configuration of Joomla! More settings based on user groups are available in the JCE editor plugin.

Editor is not showing on reply form. It is error. Thank you for reporting. It will be solved in next update by tomorrow.

Like this one. See the attachment

Hi,

Thanks for the update, now vistors (clients)  can adding items with paragraph(s) and bold etc.
Nice!

One thing I noticed is that after an update direct or with the Joomla updater my own
language/nl-NL/  folder is gone within the  /com_tfforum/language.
Only the default /language/en-EN/ is present after a com_tfforum_free update.

Is this  unavoidable or can you make this the same as a Joomla update where the /nl-NL/ folder stays untouched.

Regards, Milian

 

Hi,

When I set JCE Editor in Joomla as default. Only an Admin sees the Editor in the front-end.

When login as a Registered useer the Editor field is gone in the front-end of TF_Forum.

What must I change? and where.

(I do not want TinyMCE as default in Jooma  for several reasons.)

Regards,
Milian

 

Hello

Will solve the language folder problem in next update. It will take couple of days.

For JCE editor, you need to set some permissions in JCE editor configuration. Similar issue was there earlier. Refer this:

https://www.techfry.com/forum/tf-forum-joomla-4-create-new-topic-not-working-with-jce-editor

Thanks,

Did you se my earlier issue about the missing language/nl-NL

witch ia missing after every ft-forum update?

Hope you can solve this…

Regards,

Milian

 

 

Hello

Instead of putting language file in the component folder, you can put the language file inside languages folder of the Joomla! root.

Hi,

Thanks everything is understood. JCE works fine in my (limited) Front settings.

I have another issue.
Sinds your latest updates (i think it is) I notice the following:

I set one or  more Replies as Unpublished.  But this replies are still present in the forum.
Even when I delete a reply (one ore more) this reply(s)  is/are stil present in the front.

See the attachment.

Hope you wil solve this.
(It is important if a replier asks me to delete his reply.)

Regards,
Milian

Please update the component. The issue is now fixed. Only published replies will be visible on the frontend.

Thank you for reporting the error!

Hi,
Thanks for the fast update!

It works perfect now!
Regards, Milian
