My Joomla 1.5.14 was installed in a subfolder to www root, then I noticed that the frontend author name was NOT converted to a link, but the link was output as plain text instead of HTML.
When I enable the Joomla SEF, I found another bug: the URL for the author page was wrong, it used the itemID as the document name in URL, which should be the Title Alias along with the itemID.
Hope the author will continue to improve this plugin. Thanks.
For the first problem please read the homepage carefully. there's a patch.
And for the second if the first solved then sure i'll use the itemID to fix the bug.
Thanks
However, I noticed that there are very limited date format options in the settings. And no one matches our Chinese people's tradition. For example, we want a date format as: %Y 年 %b 月 %d 日。I tried to define such a format in the language file but failed.
Hope the author will add full customization option to date format in next release. Thanks.
Can you raise this point (with a little more detail) in the Jevents 1.5 forum and we'll see what can be done.
Another problem is, the initial image folder on this ImageManager is not /images, but the root of Joomla installation.
Thanks for the note, I'll change the default image path to images. It was the reason for the long load time, because the ImageManager was trying to find all the subfolders inside the root folder. Now it will search only images directory and it will take less.
Hope the author add multi-language support. Thanks.
Please use .ini format language file so I can make full translation for this component. Thanks.
Dear Baijianpeng!
At first thank you for review and rate!
You shouldn't edit .php language file .
To add new translation you should go to the BE -> Comopnents -> BearLeague -> Languages -> 'New' button and translate all the words. Then press 'Save' button and make your translation default
Best Regards,
Team
It will be better if the author develop a plugin to insert map into Joomla article, and a module to show latest/random/specific map on a module positon. Thanks.
This component lacks another feature: uploader. FTP transfer is not convenient for each user, so an uploader is good.
Thanks to the author.
However, I still think this is a good plugin. Hope the author will find some time to improve the documentation.
Thanks.
Fixed the issues with the Wiki system.
I'm not exactly sure what would be needed for installation instructions on the plugin. As it should be just like any other plugin.
Everyone having problems or uncertain after reading the documentation please post a message in the forums.
Sorry for any confusion or frustration there have been with my wiki documentation being unaccessible.
If turn off the captcha at frontend, it works very good. When CAPTHCA on, it kept saying that the security code is not correct, but I WAS sure I had entered the correct code.
Another bug is, I am using Simplified Chinese language at frontend. Then the corresponding CAPTCHA word file should be cn.txt, NOT zh.txt. However, this component ONLY accept zh.txt.
If such a complicated CAPTHCA system is not easy to iron out, just use something simpler.
Thanks to the author.
Thank you for your feed-back.
I'm guessing you were using version 2.0.0 because this problem with CAPTCHA was long discussed on our forum and it appeared only on some browsers and in some cases. That is way I didn't noticed it before the release of that version.
It was fixed in 2.0.1.
About the problem with the words files for CAPTCHA, I don't think it's a bug, ( the first 2 letter of the language code are used ), but this is not the place to discuss it.
Maybe I'll add this as a parameter of the extension.
I find it strange ( even a little offensive ) that instead of asking for help on our forum or by email you suggest using a simpler CAPTCHA system. Maybe you can point me to another system that offers the possibility to easily add words in different languages and set the font and background colors for this kind of system.
However, the only thing I think should be improved is that, why use relative path for the order page? Sometimes, maybe user want an external page for ordering. So, please allow user to enter complete URL of the order page, this option will work for both internal and external order page.
Thanks.
Thank you!
Relative path because most users have the ordering page on the same domain. It's a good idea and it will be implemented in the next update.
Hope the author can add more social bookmarks services, especially those popular in China. Thanks.
Why use the Joomla content section and category? Why not has built-in sections and categories management of this component itself? I think this is a bad design.
And the frontend layout is a little ugly.
Wish the author will improve it further.
Thanks.
It seems that this is also the ONLY plugin which can embed PDF documents in Joomla content. And it is free!
A Million thanks to the author!
When I check the language files, I noticed that the author used php format for language files, NOT ini format, which should be respected as the J1.5 standard. This is the first fault.
The second fault is, there are two duplicate language files respectively in folder languages and Language_Module. I made a Chinese language translation and uploaded it to the languages folder, but it can't be detected. This component can ONLY detect the language file in Language_Module folder. So, why you created the languages folder?
The third fault is, even after I put my translation language file into Language_Module folder, it can't pick up my translation automatically. I had to choose the language manually at backend settings page of this component. You know, J1.5 has parameter to allow extensions pick up correct php format language files, why didn't you use it?
The fourth and the largest fault is, I can't find the advantage of this component. Imagine this: I create a new section in the Joomla com_content and title it as Reviews, then I can create Categories inside this section. Next, I can write reviews just like new article(content). And the visitors can rating and comment my article(review) via my commenting component. You know, there are many commenting component which can also offer the rating stars feature.
So, what is the advantage of installing a new component to write reviews?
You are reviewing an alpha version i.e. very early build for Joomla 1.5. As you noticed the language is currently incomplete and in two parts which makes it far from ideal. In it's current state it is only there as a place holder while the component is being fully converted from Joomla 1.0 -> Joomla 1.5. The ini format will most likely not be used while compatibility is maintained with 1.0. Myself and others find the component useful, if you don't then that is fine.
This great tool ended such pains.
I don't need to worry about the order, just translate the file and then save the change.
BTW, I would like to suggest the author to add two features:
1. Hide translated strings option;
2. Download link beside the file name on the list;
Thanks.
However, this can ONLY send email to user group. If I want to send e-mail to a single user, it can't.
I suggest the author to add such a new feature to allow frontend logged in users send e-mail to another user, with the option of attachments and BCC or CC.
You know, it is not easy to remember other user's username, so I also suggest to add AJAX Auto Match feature to the field of Username on the form. This will make it easier to input other user's username.
Another advantage of this component is, it has complete language file. So I can make a complete Chinese translation for it.
Thanks to the author.
At least, the author should add some check method to avoid accidently using of this component by a visitor or registered user. It should be limited ONLY to special group.
BTW, I hope the author can add language file, though there were few words on the interface, it still need to be translated.
This is a simple and good tool to send mass mails, but still need some improvements.
Thanks.
Well i think you are wrong! Why should i put a restriction on the usage? If you test the component you will see that i programmed it so it can be used with public access, the from mail address will then be unknown@yoursite.com. In Joomla you have the authorize system so why not use that instead of me restricting usage on the component. I totally disagree with your reasoning to 100%.
Take care.
In addition, it can work with CB Capthca plugin to provide security.
However, I hope this plugin can allow user/visitor to send file attachments along with the text message. Of course there should be new parameter to limit the file size and file type.
BTW, I noticed that all those backend parameters of this plugin was not included in the language file. I want to make a complete Chinese translation but can't. There is also one line of English words above the frontend mail form which was not in the language file, it is "If you want to contact this person, you may use this email-form".
Please make a complete language file and then I can make a complete translation.
Thanks to the author.
