hmm.. not really sure, but if there is one I don't know it. What I just did though, is search for "informations" and edit all pages found.j_c_hallgren wrote:I've tried to attack various pages/places for typos and such...and...is there some way you as Admin could do a global edit for "thoose" and "informations" and such?

Okay, it's enabled. Have fun!j_c_hallgren wrote:From the phpBB site:Pro:Private messages can be described as a cross between email, instant messaging, and phpBB 2.0 forum posting.
1) Would allow us forum members to contact other members without posting to forum, and without having to disclose private email/ICQ/etc data in our profile which is readable by anyone...I've had a couple of occasions when I would have liked to contact jacky and (can't remember who it was) about some info that didn't really need to be on forum...
There have also been some times when it could have been used to inform a poster about spelling/typo errors or similar that by posting a normal reply about it might possibly embarrass the poster by being in public.
2) Better than email as it's restricted to members of forum, so spam is quite unlikely...and sending ability CAN be restricted by admin by user to futher eliminate it...I've not had any problems yet with it on StevesForums, which is a international usage forum for digital photography that I visit on occasion, and which uses similar software.
Cons:
Does allow unknown users to contact you/us, and text is private so possible hostile text could be sent that might not be done if public...however, if such text is received, admin can block sender in future...
Summary:
I've used this feature in a few other forums and found it quite handy...
As it keeps msgs within the forum site so finding them later is easier than if by email...
Not sure if it could, especially since I think, haven't really looked for sure, but I think data are stored as Binary on the DB, so might not be able to do a search&replace as easilly...lukescammell wrote:Risky I'm sure, but couldn't that kind of search and replace be done through phpMyAdmin or something similar using an SQL query?
Agreed. I've been thinking about this too, but haven't really decided how to do it. Gotta see how it's all handled by the wiki & how to use it "best".lukescammell wrote:Also, having a little read through the wiki, I think it needs some pictures.

Thanks for the offer though. might wanna PM Don first though maybe, see how he feels about it....hmm.. I don't know. It's worked before, so maybe check if you have a "junk" folder or something like that, in case the mail got tagged as spam somehow....RalphM wrote:Jacky, I created an account in the wiki and tried several times to get my mail-address authenticated, but I never got the mail in my inbox, though I stated a valid mail address.
What's wrong there?
I don't think so, uploading files is meant for pictures only.RalphM wrote:Sorry, I'm a bit lazy and didn't read much about the features of the wiki itself, but I was wondering, if I could upload my Word template I created for XY's report feature somehow, to make it easily accessible for all XY users?
I'm getting a SQL error and it keeps looping in a refresh...so let's hope that jacky has a good backup just in case!This is where my lack of SQL stumps me, but Google suggests this.jacky wrote:Not sure if it could, especially since I think, haven't really looked for sure, but I think data are stored as Binary on the DB, so might not be able to do a search&replace as easilly...lukescammell wrote:Risky I'm sure, but couldn't that kind of search and replace be done through phpMyAdmin or something similar using an SQL query?
Anyways, the manual way worked fine so
The should be informative I agree. A good starting point, would be an XY screen with the areas clearly marked. This doesn't appear to be on the website and would help all those who read an instruction and think "what's the <something>?"jacky wrote:Agreed.

What I don't really wanna do on the wiki is have some of the usual screenshots-with-thumbs, as in "here's XY with color filters on, etc" since all that is already well made on XY's website!

I'll PM, but what about just wiki.xyplorer.com ? Would seem to be the logical place? If Donald doesn't want it there because it's "unofficial" I understand, then perhaps something like xyplorerwiki.com (I looked for xywiki.com but it's already "under construction and coming soon" - yeah right...).jacky wrote:Regarding a domain name, I don't know.

Yes it wasj_c_hallgren wrote:Tonight the wiki is WAKI!
Sorry about that, not sure what happened exactly but seems that the server was all weird... Restarted it & seems to be running fine again, at last!Well, right now the wiki is on a different server than XY website. To do that, need to know first if that can be done with XY's host, I'm not sure how this would work...

Maybe I'm totally wrong, as this is slightly out of my area of knowledge, but I thought there was some way to redirect a URL like wiki.xyplorer.com to a different server than xyplorer.com, and that could then put it over to jacky's server...or am I 100% in error?jacky wrote:Well, right now the wiki is on a different server than XY website.

That's possible. Only what's the purpose of it?

) -- while it is obviously great for me that jacky takes care, it means at the same time that I am depending on him, and the better and important the wiki gets the stronger is the dependency.You're absolutely correct, but it is host dependant and who knows what Donald's host is like?j_c_hallgren wrote:Maybe I'm totally wrong, as this is slightly out of my area of knowledge, but I thought there was some way to redirect a URL like wiki.xyplorer.com to a different server than xyplorer.com, and that could then put it over to jacky's server...or am I 100% in error?jacky wrote:Well, right now the wiki is on a different server than XY website.
