A few question about themes

Asked by Tiago Faria

Hi everyone,

First of all, congratulations on the excellent job. A easy-to-install micro-blogging software is a great alternative to the more known ones, that may be tricky to install on shared-hosting environments.

Best of luck to the project.

Translations
=======

Portuguese (from Portugal) is nearly finished. I shall have it done in a couple of minutes.

I have a few questions, though. Thank you in advance for the help:

1 - Without an ugly hack, is it possible to remove the upload file feature?

2 - Themes and personalization only work after a hard refresh. For example, if I change from colorful to dark_transparency and go back to /public, I'll continue with colorful. dark_transparency will only be applied after a CTRL+F5.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

3 - Any way to add a name to the email that sends messages to users? Instead of just being <email address hidden>: Jisko Admin <email address hidden>

4 - I'm an IRC addict, and I was wondering if no one else is interested in using a #channel on Freenode for general chat related to this project.

Best regards,

Tiago

Thanks, it's one of my priorities :-)

Nice to hear that! I'll update it once done.

It depends of what do you mean with "ugly hack". A fast solution would
be to touch your CSS and put a "display:none;" in class "upload_send".
Well, it will be ugly, but actually we are not offering an option to
disable it.

I don't have this issue. I'm using Firefox and it changes immediately.
Try it at jisko.net for example.

It remembers me that there was a problem like you describe that
happened "really", with avatar upload, but I fixed it some revisions
ago.

You can edit it at includes/mails.php. In fact, I think is not a
useful way to do it, so please, send a bug (aka "suggest a feature by
submitting a bug") with this and I'll do a trick in the config to
change it easy.

If I'm not wrong, #jisko is registered at Freenode but we never had a
promotion plan.

hi tiago,

for 1) i did the following in forms.php by commenting out the feature and adding a line break to show the character count limit properly

<!-- <div id="upload_send" class="upload_send">
<a href="javascript:showUpload();"> '.__('Attach a picture').'</a>
</div> -->
<br/>

u need to do this for both function doNoteFormSimple and doNoteForm

yeah, it is an ugly hack but you can revert back if you think u need it anytime...

2) as ruben said i havent noticed it. once you do update theme, it updates well for me in firefox and safari.

4) i think launchpad thing is cool...wen it comes to chat we get things sorted fast but it doesnt help the community. someone has the same problem, they cant come here and find a soultion i think we shd stick to this.
