1) So Id like to delete "Group Owner (image)owner name) from forum index
I tried few things but Ive failed :(
2) also how I can add buttons to main menu (green bar)
3) how I can make for example forum and group list public
4) prefered name can be duplicated I mean Im admin and my pref name is for example Ikky and Ive made another acc with name Ikky and it worked and for example group members were: Ikky, Ikky, ...
5) what about filesystem path is it dataroot?
$cfg->dataroot = '/home/users/sobolczyk_root/www/store';
cuz I can upload files etc but I cannot upload icons :/
1. Check out
1. Check out theme/default/templates/group/view.tpl
2. In lib/web.php, check out the main_nav() function
3. You'd have to modify the scripts that show forums/groups. The most important thing you would have to do is add define('PUBLIC', 1); to the top of the appropriate pages so they can be accessed by logged out users, but you might have to implement access checking deeper in those scripts to make sure that public users can't do certain things you don't want them to do.
4. I'm not sure what we can do about that, what do you suggest? If people set a preferred name, then they do so because they don't want their real name to be known. Most people will pick unique preferred names for them anyway... it's like a chat nick :)
5. I think your dataroot is ok, but something else sounds like it is broken. Could you describe your hosting setup? E.g. are you on a shared host? What versions of php/mysql/postgres are you using?
thx a lot for help :) ad4
thx a lot for help :)
ad4 yes I get the idea of preferred name but if someone use prefered name on forum there can be some missunderstanding and some ppl may do it to maintain that they are someone else etc
ad5 yes im on shared host, Im using php5 myslq5
I asked my provider about that and he said something like
"We do not allow running outside applications for example /usr/bin/file form php level."
But I guess that I asked the question in wrong way or something
ad3 can you tell me which files to edit(just generaly)
With regard to 4, that's the
With regard to 4, that's the entire point of it - remember that in Mahara, the user is in control. If you really want to disable the preferred name functionality, in lib/user.php there is a function display_name that controls how people's names are shown to others. You can edit that to prevent preferred name from being used.
For 5, he gave you the right answer. Shared hosts do not allow you to run outside applications, and Mahara 1.0 needs to call /usr/bin/file. Mahara 1.1 does not however, although that's only in beta. You either need to change your host, or play around with the beta - but be aware that the beta does have a few more bugs and is not currently stable.
For 3, if you want the forums to be open you need to edit the forum files, which are in htdocs/interaction/forum.
