Re: Manji ported to TXP
Noticed a little typo: In forms you have comments_form and it should be comment_form. Also the comment form is missing the curve at the top.

Re: Manji ported to TXP
Sorry Lee. Something else to add to the readme. I’ll fix the typo and you will find that image is in the comment_form template itself rather than the CSS. It’s just a TXP image tag so simply change the number to whatever you are using.

Re: Manji ported to TXP
Think you missed out <code><div id=“commentformtop”><txp:image id=”?” /></div></code> from the top of the comment_form.

Re: Manji ported to TXP
Thanks Lee. I think you may have downloaded quite soon after I made it available. The form was modified quite early on. The current download does include the image tag. I have corrected the typo and added some extra blurb to the installation instructions to cover that and the possible use of a URL format that doesn’t match the included one. If you find anything else do let me know.
If anyone else has questions regarding the installation of TXP Manji I would suggest that they either email me directly or comment on my website. I’m quite happy to help out but I don’t think this is really the proper place. :)

Re: Manji ported to TXP
Stu.
I had attempted to install your port of Manji on my site.
You might remember me. I backed out and returned to WordPress.
Well. . . the more I looked at your port, the more I looked
at Textpattern.
I’m trying again. I just am soooo drawn to textpattern. I will have to
learn a different way of saying what I now know how to say, but I really
like textpattern.
I am running into a problem on the comments.
I don’t know that call in textpatern but it goes like this. . .
The remember/forget check box in text pattern.
What’s that called?
The txp:comment_remember call. . .
The Remember box is there, Stu, but the
Forget box never shows up.
I’ve posted the comments code here: http://pastebin.com/390871
Can anyone see if I have done something to hack
that fuction into unworkability?
Here is the test site: http://www.FatherLuke.org/
Oh, and Stu? Your port rocks so much that even after I gave up
I have come back to it. You rule, you crazy maniac.
Okay,

Re: Manji ported to TXP
Okay, I found it.
There is a call about halfway down
(aprox line 55 and 57)
txp:if_no_cookie
then, immediately following is
txp:if_cookie
without another call for the forget/remember
so, I then just added
txp:comment_remember
where I felt it was apropriate
and, Voila! I can be forgotten.
Seems like a lot of work, just so I may be forgotten.
I like it. . . (evil grin)
This is sort of a bug, Stu.
And finding it is sort of my little way of thanking you.
Which I can never do enough . . .
Okay,
Father Luke

Don’t let them all know I’m a “crazy maniac”! ;) I’ve emailed you about this now. Welcome back to the fold. :)

Re: Manji ported to TXP
I clicked on the Live Installation link above and had to wait 45 seconds to get a fancy 404 :-(
If the site is for geeks then great but otherwise a simple 2 sec 404 please!
UPDATE: I am still reading your 404 as it magically goes into great depth about the reason for the 404 and why it is or isn’t your fault and could be this reason or that reason……
Ah! I get it now! The 404 <strong>IS</strong> your website! Nice one:-)

Re: Manji ported to TXP
Zero, the “live installation” only lasts as long as it takes me to move on to something else. I only post the links here so that I can get reaction from people with browsers other than those I use. That way I can fix any little glitches before I sort out the download file. Once that is done I have full-scroll screen shots included in my release article which the good Father Luke has linked to. With all the styles I have ported I simply can’t keep a live installation of everything. You can now see “demos” at TextGarden but I am still working through them so they aren’t all ready yet. I’m trying to do a couple a day. Apart from that my test site has moved but you are welcome to watch Magic Dust as it gets sprinkled around. :)

Re: Manji ported to TXP
Oh.
I have a question.
I could e-mail but having it here on the forum leaves
breadcrumbs for those who follow.
How do I adjust to the way that comments
are listed when there is more than one, Stuart?
The plugins that come standard with Manji include
glx_if created by – Johan Nilsson
Would I begin to look there?
Currently the default when there is more than one says:
Comment
I should like to change that to simply say
Comments
Also, is there a way to change the default message after
a comment has been posted? I hold them for moderation
until I can get a handle on spam filters. The current
default message is:
Thank you for adding your comment.
Your comment is pending moderation. It will appear after it has been approved.
I would like to alter that.
Anyone know where to find that?
Aloha,
Father Luke

Re: Manji ported to TXP
Oh. One more thing.
On the Links page
If I don’t want a description, Stuart,
I still get
::
after the link.
Would you know where I could
dissable that?
Where do I hack the codes for the links page?
Thanks,

Re: Manji ported to TXP
All the little messages and bits of text are kept in the language file which you can find in /textpattern/lang/. If you do change anything you will need to maintain your own copy of the file which will involve comparing it to the latest language file as new tags get added. You will also need to import it manually from the “Language” tab that you can find in “Preferences”. The manual import facility is at the bottom below the language list. I haven’t done this myself so have no experience with it. :(
Something else for you to think about. TXP Manji was released before there was a “Thank You” message so it is unstyled. If you add “p#txpCommentInputForm” to your CSS you can style it in there.

Re: Manji ported to TXP
The links page is covered overall by the links_page form template and the individual links are covered by the Noted form template which is where you will find the ::
