| Hello,
I'm new (about a week) to pmwiki (using version 2.2.0-beta63) and just installed Fox Forum. It seems to work find, and would suit my need. But for me it's not displaying first posts (001) in a Topic. Viewing the Source I see the first post is there, but it's not being displayed. All other posts (002, 003, etc.) are showing fine. Did I install something wrong? Using your Triad skin too. Love it. Thanks. | |

Can you give an example of the source code you see with the first post, or a link to a site where I can see the problem?

Well.. before I went to bed I uninstalled it all. All the Fox stuff too. It just all seemed so non standard, not even the gui buttons worked for me till I hard coded the path to them. I was afraid I was creating a security mess, so removed it all.
I'll reinstall it all today and see what happens. Then I'll be back with a link and either a success story or the same problems. Thinking maybe I should install pmwiki on a thumb drive so I can experiment locally without compromising the live web pages.

I uninstalled all the fox stuff and guibuttons, and reinstalled them all fresh (and hard coded the guibutton url in guibutton.php to get it to work.) Now I don't have the dissapearing first line problem. Go figure.
Now I can play with figuring how to customize it, and stuff.. and figure out how to get rid of the smileys :>

Cool! Got it set up and working, hacked the smileys out of buttongui (they made my page load really slow, on top of I hate smileys.)
Then for the link back to the forum main page, and create new topic link I created Forum.GroupHeader and put the following in it;
(:if !name Forum:) * [[Forum/Forum|Forum Index]] (:ifend:) (:if !name CreateNewTopic:) * [[Create New Topic | Start New Topic]] (:ifend:)
I didn't think that was bad for a guy thats been playing with pmwiki less than a week.

Ahah! Finally figured out the missing first message problem.
Using ForumConfig if I don't select any Topic Display (mistakenly thinking it would default to current setting if I didn't select anything) then the first message doesn't show.
If I select a Topic Display but don't select a Comment Display then the first message shows, but none of the rest do.
No matter what I choose on the ForumConfig page it returns a red error at the top; "ERROR: Missing or wrong Access Code!", but seems to work anyway.
And so, I got my little forum working now. Cool :>
