Re: does phorum support rtl - 11 years ago
Hello, I used the advanced SEARCH function using "right to left" as keywords and found the following discussions.... It seems like it is a matter of adding a simple direction="rtl" in your HTML tag at the beginning of the header.tpl file. But I didn't look into it very deeply. - Bobby Robert Angle - Phorum Support
Re: FORUMS->forum_id get the forum_id in the list.tpl file. - 11 years ago
QuoteBenny Hey, There is anyway i can get the FORUMS->forum_id in the list.tpl ? I need the forum number I don't know how to display it (off the top of my head as I post this), but you probably want to have specific things take place depending on the forum that's being viewed. You can do that like this.... {IF FORUM_ID 19} Hi folks! Welcome to Forum 19 {ELSE} What are youby Robert Angle - Phorum Support
Re: Is there any future for Phorum? - 11 years ago
Quotekorsakov Unfortunately, I feel I put my eggs in the wrong basket. Is it better to make a painful break than draw out the agony? Since you're in agony, the answer is yes. I still love phorum, and still have a use for it on some of my smaller projects. For my biggest and very very active community though, we had to move on to something else. The community wanted some of new featuby Robert Angle - Phorum Support
Re: help request for coloured usernames - 12 years ago
QuotegelbeseitenOne thought: as the username is a link, is the custom_user_field overwritten with the link_color setting from the settings.tpl? Or did I place it at the wrong spot, as all this is pretty new to me ? Sorry for the delay. My community uses commercial/paid software now, but I keep coming back here because I had a strong attachment to Phorum.

Re: help request for coloured usernames - 12 years ago
I would do it with a template hack. I would create a custom profile field in the Admin panel called "color" and then on the registration.tpl form within the <form> and </form> tags add this... Color?: <input type="text" name="color" size="30" value="" /> ... and then on the read.tpl add this.... {IF MESSAGES->usby Robert Angle - Phorum Hack/Mod Requests
Re: Is there a way to turn off your moderators being able to see all email addresses? - 12 years ago
Find where the email is displayed in your templates and surround it by the following template code..... {IF USER->admin} <B>{LANG->Email}:</B> <a href="mailto:{PROFILE->email}">{PROFILE->email}</a> {/IF} Anything between the IF statements will only be visible to admins.by Robert Angle - Phorum Support

Re: Problems Moving to New Server - 12 years ago
QuoteCBiLL Did you ever managed to fix this? I am having the same problem. BIll Edited - I managed to fix it .. I explained it in my other post - No. What had happened to me is that HostGator kept shutting us down, so we decided to get a VPS server with Hudson Valley Host and move.

Re: Attachments not appear - 12 years ago
Here is Embed Images: Here is Embed Attachments: Both have installation instructions in the Read Me file, which usually consist of unzipping the contents of the package and uploading everything to your /mods/ directory, then afterwards logging into your admin panel, going to modules, and adjusting the settings to suit your needs. Once these are added to your phorum installation, the usby Robert Angle - Phorum Support

Re: Google Ad Sense units on Phorum 5.2.19 - 12 years ago
I dont use Google Adsense, so I do not know for sure. However, you may want to look at the module called Banner Manager. I've never looked at it, but I imagine it is designed to place an advertisers code in your templates without editing your templates. On the other hand, you can just ad the Google Adsense code manually in your templates wherever you want it to display.by Robert Angle - v5/v6 Modules/Add-Ons

Re: Can forum be moded to "post as any user" (for admins) and edit timestamps? Out of the box? - 13 years ago
You can edit timestamps in MyPHPadmin in cPanel, but you have to convert the actual desired time stamp to a unix timestamp. Becareful messing with a database. You can mess up your world if you don't know what you are doing.by Robert Angle - Phorum Support
