where did you changed that ?

Delphiprogrammi · #46 09-24-2005, 06:02 PM

that works fine

Trevor Hannant · #47 09-25-2005, 05:05 PM

Great idea.

Just installed on test forum but will port to live once I upgrade that after 3.5 goes Gold. :up:

Only change I made to it for my own preference was to have pdfthread.php open in a new window.

Trevor Hannant · #48 09-25-2005, 08:58 PM

Thought: Is it possible to restrict this to specific usergroups?

Lea Verou · #49 10-02-2005, 07:26 PM

What about encoding??
I have ISO 8859-7 (greek) and the pdf is like it's on a different encoding although I set to 8859-7 in my browser!

I installed this successfully, had the icon and opens PDF file but has no content at all!

Please advise

Thanks

OK, got it. It was my problem; I was re-editing each of the 7 templates with its next one, finalized up having only one template. I revised the style and create every child template under it separately and it works well now for English, but not for Arabic. I will try to figure out how it can print in Arabic. Thanks.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
