Hello


Are you sure you filled out every textbox in the deparment configuration?

In all textboxes (Display Order , Usergroups) the groups ID must be there (e.g. for Administrator 6), otherwise you get this nasty SQL error.


I had the same problem, but filling out the boxes solved it

Looking at this screenshot will help you:

Hi

I wanted to ask if you are recently working on a new version.

I like the hack very much, so I am very interested in the status of developing.

Also it will be really good if you can group your phrases outside of Global because finding one by one and translating them is really pain in the ass

[boeserwolf]

Hi

Why are you making things this complicated?

Before I installed the hack, I opened the install.php and translated the phrases there.

Okay , there are a few phrases, which are hard to translate because you really don´t know the exact content, I also corrected a few translation errors after install, but most phrases may be translated easily before installation

That is not the way to translate. Like this you will get translated things in the Master Language instead of in the Language where they are suposed to be. If you run a board with multiple languages you will run into trouble with your way of translating.

Or maybe it would be better to link the username to their public profile in the upper right corner of their HelpDesk posts where their username is listed.

Could you also add the post time in addition to the date that is displayed on posts?

It won't be hard to create a page for these requests. I'll let everyone know when that page is up and I'll post a link in the main post!

Could you please re-consider allowing the feature requests here so everyone can see what's already been requested along with comments on those requests? I think removing the openness of discussion of new ideas is detrimental to the future of the hack.

WhSox21,
