Hi Paul,

This is an encoding issue.Ê The PHP file is encoded with some other encoding.Ê Dataface is outputing UTF-8 to the browser though, so the browser doesn't understand it.Ê There are 2 solutions:
1. Use the HTML entity for the euro sign (
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/sgml/entities.html)
This will be displayed correctly in the web browser, but may not look right over email.
2. Change the encoding of the File to UTF-8 in your text editor.Ê (This may be risky because PHP doesn't properly deal with UTF-8 in its source files).
When I internationalize the application, this symbol will be factored out into an INI file that will have the proper encoding so you won't have to deal with this issue.
As far as keeping posted when there is an update on the forum, may I suggest using RSS?Ê You'll notice that there is an RSS link at the top of the forum.Ê If you copy this link to your RSS reader, then you will be kept updated when posts are made to this forum.Ê You can use an online RSS reader (e.g. Google:: http://www.google.com/reader) or download a desktop RSS reader (a list of popular ones found at http://blogspace.com/rss/readers).
Once you start using RSS you'll never go back.Ê I monitor about 50 sites and am updated automatically whenever any changes are made to any of them.
Best regards
Steve

Hi Steve

What can I do within main html to change the login word ?
it is to small , much to far to the right , I would like it a 5 cm to the left.
And with bigger fat letters , and a different color.
I open the html with wordpad.
html code seems not to work I did [b] but it only shows the b's.....

Hi Paul,


Probably easiest to do this with CSS.Ê All you need to do is add a CSS file and include it in the head of the template.
e.g. If you named your file styles.css, then you would place the styles.css file in your web auction folder and add the following somewhere near the end of the section of the template:

You can reference the login text using the id user-status
e.g.
So your styles.css file would contain something like.
#user-status {
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ font-size: 16px;
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ font-weight: bold;
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ padding-right: 2in;
ÊÊÊÊÊÊÊ
}
Hope this helps.
-Steve

Hi
Ok I gonna try this.
Another question :
If I get a template looking the way I want it , without changing the
positions on webauction ( login, or menubar and so on)
How do I make webauction see the template inside templates folder ?
do I have to point inside main html to templates ?
And please can you give me a example ?

with lets say , the head of the site being a color
and the left side the same color, but the links still there ?

or do I ask to much ?

And there might be something else to change inside auction.
even the blanc part besides a Item is click-able so if you are looking to the page and accidentally clikck somewhere ( and not on a link ) it opens a other part of the site.....
and now all is in a row , 1 row.
maybe make it possible to put 3 Items next to each other , and then
the next row of 3 and so on ?

I used netobject fusion to make html sides , I use e107 php websites
I use php designer 2007 for php adjustments.
So my knowledge is to change things , not to make things :)

Besides perl , this program is very difficult ( you call it easy since knowing it :) ) I struggle , but I'am holding on , I keep trying :)
( linux I tried for a hundered times , never succeeded since all who know linux , seem not be able to explain clearly , that is why it is not as big as it could be)

greetings Paul

PS

The website seems to wide , there is a scrollbar underneath and I can scroll 2 inches to the right ...?
and the login works the way you "exampled" :)
except that padding-right it does absolutely nothing ?
Changed the number nothing changed
the login is bigger but stays in the far right corner....

that is probably the padding-right that is causing it to scroll right... sometimes you have to play with the CSS a little to get it looking right.


Perhaps try using relative positioning to move the login rather than padding.
e.g.
position: relative;
left: -2in;

Hi Deepak,

Dataface is extremely flexible in this respect.Ê I have developed authentication modules that allow users to log in using CAS (Central authentication service), Facebook, and other services.Ê You would need to develop an authentication module to accomplish this (you can check out the CAS module in the downloads section as an example authentication module and build from there).

Best regards

Steve
