Hi bckng,

Thanks for the translation assistance.

As for the font size, I need to see it live on your site in order to help. This is because the size is determined by the Joomla template you are using.

Please provide a link as well as a temporary account that will allow me to log in and see the quickpanel. Send this via our contact form.

Thank you,
Mark

I'll have a look in the template, and if I cant find it i open port 80 and send u a link.. (I'm still developing under localhost..)

but another thing is anoying me.. when I go to answer a message I get a window that says:

SEND FRED A MESSAGE:

I tryed to add:

SEND %S A MESSAGE:=Enviar a %s uma messagem:

to pt-PT.com_ninjaboard.ini but it did not translate the sentence.. why?

Another thing I dont understand (not that I understand alot of things..lol) is a layout problem in the
messages, as shown in the img below:

How can I fix this?

Is it because of the theme?

Hi blackangel,

Thanks for your feedback.

@ Translation strings

As far as I could see the most translation strings you are mentioning, are on Transifex.
There are a few missing for the backend which needs to be added/updated in the English master ini.
The only possible one missing for the frontend could be "message saved".
I will check and update the master ini's as soon as possible, it's on my to-do list.

but another thing is anoying me.. when I go to answer a message I get a window that says:
SEND FRED A MESSAGE:
I tryed to add:
SEND %S A MESSAGE:=Enviar a %s uma messagem:

Strange...I will take a look at this and see what could be wrong.

@ incorrect display (your previous post)

This could be a template issue.
But it's hard to correct this without seeing the site live.
Can you try an other template, like Rhuk Milkyway or any other standard one that comes with the Joomla installation? Check if things are displaying correct by using another template.
Also, does it display different when using another browser?

Alternately you can consider to send me the full template installation package since you are on a local host. This way you don't have to open up port 80, just a suggestion. And more save, I guess.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

I tryed with another theme and it's displaying correctly.
I made my theme on Artisteer, how can I fix this?

THX ;)
Fred.

Hi Fred,

You should be able to fix it by playing around with your CSS.

You're developing a website as a beginner, so I will assume you are using Firefox. Google for and install the Firebug plugin. Learn firebug it's not hard.

Once you've developed a basic understanding of Firebug, you should be able to easily find the elements you need to change in your CSS file (/templates/YOURJOOMLATEMPLATE/css/template.css)

If you've done all that and still have trouble, post a link to your website and a username and password here (a normal registered user account, NOT ADMIN) so we can log in and see what you see, and help.

Kind regards,
Mark

Thx Mark,
I'll try Firebug and let you know ;)

Excellent!

Good luck, Sir.
Have a good weekend

Hi mark, I played a bit with firebug (how could I ever live without it..) and fond this diference on my template when compared to a joomla's default template where it's displaying everything correctly.

1ST img, my template:

2ND img, joomla's "rhuk_milkyway" theme:

Why is "margin: 0" crossed on my template?

How can a user delete private messages?

Thx ;)

Hi Fred,

Thanks for the screenshots, they are very helpful.

The margin and padding are crossed in your template because there is some other CSS loading on that page with a higher priority (technically called, higher specificity).

The fix for this is to add CSS that is even more specific.

Go to your Joomla template manager, edit your template CSS file (template.css) and add the following to the end of it:

.splitview-list {margin:0 !important; padding: 0 0 10px !important;}

The "!important" will ensure no other CSS will override those properties.

Let me know how that goes.

Cheers,
Mark

P.S: Please post the other question (how can a user delete PM?") in a new thread.

Sir Mark,
you have my highest consideration, it worked perfectly.

Aldo I fond it strange that when I made a search on my original template.css I didn't find any string matching ".splitview-list".. how come?

and also.. what can be causing this "nulll" value for this variable?:

Thx alot ;)
Fred.

Hi Fred,

I just wanted to inform you that the English master files for Ninjaboard are updated at Transifex.

Also take a look at the changelog.

To answer a previous question of yours:

but another thing is anoying me.. when I go to answer a message I get a window that says:
SEND FRED A MESSAGE:
I tryed to add:
SEND %S A MESSAGE:=Enviar a %s uma messagem:

I've looked in to this and it's not a bug or something like that.
The {PERSON} part needs to be copied exactly in the translation as it is, it don't needs to be translated or changed.
This part is used to get the recipient's name and display it correct when the string is translated (or untranslated).
If you use the English language then it's more obvious that the recipient's name displays correct.

Example in your case:

Original:

SEND {PERSON} A MESSAGE:=Send {PERSON} a message:

Translated:

SEND {PERSON} A MESSAGE:=Enviar a {PERSON} uma messagem:

Thanks again for all your feedback on this.

Cheers,
John
