00:19 ries Conic: in the BE you mean?
00:50 Conic ries: exactly
00:50 Conic i want to add field that i can fill out in the BE

08:38 bluespuke morning
08:45 bluespuke i know this is a strange question but i need an editor who makes those bad ugly things link <center>, <b> or <font>
08:46 bluespuke i don't acre about W3C, it's just an xml output for flash with a TextField.htmlText in Flash...
08:46 bluespuke anyone knows such an editor to accomplish this?
09:22 maholtz|WORK morning
09:29 jbaptiste_j Greetings, I updated from 4.2.5 to 4.2.10 I want too do the database update, i create the ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL in typo3 conf but typo3 still says it cannot find the file
09:31 fuchur then most likely you got a typo :)
09:34 FloLeBlanc hi all
09:35 marcuslind jbaptiste_j: Make sure you don't copy an old ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL to your typo3conf folder
09:35 jbaptiste_j salut flo
09:35 marcuslind if it's older then 1h it will automaticly be deleted.
09:35 marcuslind Also, make sure you don't have any extension for it. It might be hidden in your OS
09:36 FloLeBlanc any infos on what to consider when upgrading from 4.0.X to 4.1.X except the ones found in the upgrade guide?
09:37 jbaptiste_j actually I made the file in windows, uploaded if with winscp, it showed as being there on the linux directory on my wxinscp window but then I asked the root to log and see what was up, the file was not there. And there hadn't been one hour
09:37 jbaptiste_j the root created a file in the shell and that works
09:39 bluespuke hmm, i ask again, maybe someone came online in the while...
09:39 Denjerek Hola Flo
09:39 bluespuke i need an editor with <font> and <center> tags in place of <span style="">
09:39 bluespuke it's for a Flash TextField.htmlText
09:41 fuchur someone knows how I can generate preview-jpgs of pdf-files with imagemagick in my backendextension?
09:46 fuchur come on guys ... easy task :D
09:46 pmk65 fuchur: rund the pdf through typo3's image function. then it will generate a tumb of the 1st page.
09:47 pmk65 bluespuke: create a parseFunc entry that converts the style tags into font tags..
09:47 fuchur all the pages just have one page
09:47 fuchur so that's fine
09:48 fuchur just a little hint. do i have to require tslib_content and use cObj?
09:48 fuchur iirc tslib is not available in backend modules otherwise, is it?
09:48 pmk65 fuchur: just treat the pdf as an image.
09:49 fuchur yeah, that's not the problem. ;) how to use cObj in backend module
09:49 pmk65 there's some BE specific image functions. (not as advanced as the FE functions, but it can make thumbs)
09:50 fuchur in FE i would use $this->cObj
09:50 fuchur but iirc that doesn't work in BE
09:53 animan hi. does anyone know how to include keywords from tt_news article to article-view page meta tag? so when i look at different news, different keywords would be there?
09:56 pmk65 fuchur: t3lib/thumbs.php
09:56 pmk65 animan: use my autokeywords plugin.
09:56 fuchur pmk65 thanks, will take a look. testing around with t3lib_stdgraphic at the moment
09:56 pmk65 http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/pmkautokeywords/current/
10:01 dokma fuchur: as much as I recall it's simply convert bla.pdf bla.jpg
10:01 dokma I guess you know how to resize?
10:01 fuchur yep, but i want to use t3 wrapper functions
10:01 fuchur no direct system-calls
10:01 dokma ahhh I see
10:01 dokma haven't delved into those so far
10:02 dokma what's your ext about?
10:02 fuchur splitting up a pdf-newspaper in single-page-pdfs and generating thumbnails of it :)
10:03 dokma phew... I hope they pay well
10:03 pmk65 fuchur: then you'll have to call ImageMagick directly.
10:03 fuchur dokma not that well :)
10:03 pmk65 TYPO3's functions will only extract the 1st page.
10:03 fuchur i did the splitting already
10:03 fuchur now i have 38 single-page-pdfs
10:04 fuchur and want to generate thumbnails of all of them
10:04 fuchur so 1st page is just fine
10:05 dokma fuchur: then make them pay !!
10:05 bluespuke pmk65: do you have an example for a parseFunc? i never used it, but i'm willing to learn ;-)
10:05 fuchur what do you consider "good"? :)
10:05 dokma make thumbnails that say 'This notice will go away when you pay better!
10:05 fuchur hrhr
10:06 dokma Good is $5000 a month
10:06 dokma But $1000 is acceptable if you have 10 or 20 of those clients
10:07 fuchur mh ... $1000 that's around 150 EUR isn't it
10:07 fuchur :-p
10:07 fuchur *g*
10:07 pmk65 bluespuke: there's some examples in the tinymce_rte ext. (for modifying the A tags)
10:09 fuchur dokma splitting the pdfs in singlepages and generating previews is $750
10:09 fuchur :)
10:09 bitcrusher hi guys, i'm just gonna throw a question out there ;)
10:09 fuchur so probably it's "good"
10:10 pmk65 parseFunc example: http://wiki.typo3.org/index.php/External_links
10:12 dokma $750 is good
10:13 fuchur probably i will put this into ter
10:13 sorenmalling Morning
10:13 sorenmalling Does anyone knows function in the API to create HTML form element?
10:14 bitcrusher have any of you experienced that rgsmoothgallery does not work when mootools is installed, but it works when mootools is NOT installed, even though it is dependant on mootools?
10:17 fuchur grrrr
10:17 fuchur An 'adequate' installation for requires 'convert', 'combine'/'composite' and 'identify' to be available << it definetly is
10:17 fuchur grmbl
10:18 animan thanks pmk
10:19 pmk65 bitcrusher: rgsmooth gallery is written for an older version of mootools (v1.11)
10:20 sorenmalling fuchur: Is that path correct in your confoguration?
10:20 fuchur yep
10:20 bitcrusher now that explains a lot
10:21 bitcrusher do you know of any betas/hacks that makes it compaitble with 1.3?
10:25 fuchur mh, using 6.5.7 is fine, isn't it?
10:28 bitcrusher pmk65: but thanks for clearing up things, as allways :)
10:30 pmk65 http://smoothgallery.jondesign.net/
10:30 pmk65 I think there's a new version of the smoothgallery javascript on the official site.
10:31 pmk65 or sponsor George so he can make an update ;)
10:33 bitcrusher he definitely deserves something for all his T3 work :)
10:34 FloLeBlanc I upgraded from 4.0.13 to 4.1.13 => the page tree has list icons in it and the images are of the wrong size (+ / -) did anyone experience behaviour like that yet?
10:36 Gunjubas re all
10:37 FloLeBlanc furthermore: is there a TS way yet of using distributeX for a GMENU when I have a seperator between the items? (I don't want to recalculate each time I set a new menu item)
11:41 trooper Could not connect to MySQL? $link = mysql_connect("lfrom", "root", "pass") or die ("Could not connect to MySQL"); mysql_select_db ("trop") or die ("Could not select database");
12:03 jbaptiste_j I would like certain users to be able to create new pages but only pages "hidden in menu" where should I look for info about that ?
12:04 pmk65 jbaptiste_j: You mean pages with the "hidden in menu" checkbox clicked?
12:04 jbaptiste_j yes
12:04 jbaptiste_j and I don't want them to be able to uncheck it
12:05 pmk65 I would use TCAdefaults (user TSConfig) and then force the checkbox to clicked by default, and then hide the field from that group.
12:06 pmk65 http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/references/doc_core_tsconfig/4.1.0/view/1/2/
12:06 jbaptiste_j Ik now how to hide the field for that group, but check it by default beats me
12:06 jbaptiste_j thanks I'll read that
12:07 FloLeBlanc did anyone ever experience the problem of a hmm.. "false CSS" in the backend? It seems that I have a CSS for the page tree that does not remove bullets / circles in the lists
12:08 pmk65 its pretty simple . You just add some TSConfig to the group the users belong to. The format is like this: TCAdefaults.[tablename].[field] = [defaultValue]
12:09 pmk65 in your case it would then be -> TCAdefaults.pages.nav_hide = 1
12:10 pmk65 FloLeBlanc: the Typo3 BE is a huge mess. The same files gets loaded several times (for each frame)
12:10 jbaptiste_j there is not a tree like interface to adjust those ?
12:10 FloLeBlanc pmk65: hmm.. I just upgraded from 4.0.X to 4.1.X and search for the cause for the tree problem :)
12:11 pmk65 I never had those problems with my 4.1 installations.
12:12 StaffanE1 FloLeBlanc: old t3skin ?
12:12 pmk65 Do you use FireFox? (and have the developer toolbar installed)
12:13 pmk65 if yes, you can use the CSS tab to view the list of css files. then it's quite easy to spot if there is some that is not loaded correct.
12:13 fuchur grr
12:13 FloLeBlanc StaffanE1: how can I set the skin? its the classic skin
12:14 fuchur $cObj = t3lib_div::makeInstance('tslib_cObj');
12:14 fuchur but if i try to call $cObj->IMAGE() it says all to a member function getFileName() on a non-object in
12:14 fuchur kind of a namespace problem
12:25 pmk65 fuchur> If you want to use cObj from BE, you need to include several libs, and setup a fake TSFE.
12:34 FloLeBlanc hmm how can I reinstall t3skin?
12:34 FloLeBlanc the extension repository only offers 0.0.2 but 0.1.0 is installed
12:37 StaffanE FloLeblanc - i run 4.2.0 version of that one
12:38 FloLeBlanc t3skin 0.1.0 installed, an extension rep search nets me 0.0.2 (Typo3 4.1.13)
12:56 Conic hey all
12:57 Conic ries: do you know the way i can add fields to the backend form?
12:57 ries Conic: in the kickstarter?
12:57 Conic yes, there it would be helpful
12:58 ries Add a additional field to the database and the kickstarter will do the rest for you
12:58 ries please be reminded that it's a kickstarter, once you modify your code you cannot use the kickstarter anymore (unless you know what you are doing)
12:59 Conic hehe, yes, i keep that in mind...
13:01 Conic ries: so i go to New Database Tables and add one ther
13:01 ries yes
13:01 Conic one minute...
13:02 miousse conic: do you want to modify an existing table or create a new one?
13:02 Conic the case is: i want to add a new FE plugin (which works fine) and want to add fields there which i have to fill out for configuring the plugin
13:03 Conic fields like "header" is one
13:03 ries for configuring the plugin I would use typoscript/flexforms...
13:03 ries unless you want to change behavure on a per record base
13:04 miousse yep ries is rigth
13:04 miousse you need to create a flexform
13:04 Conic ok, and where do i do that?
13:05 miousse no kickstarter can help you on this
13:05 Conic so i can jsut "create" the Fe plugin with it, and then i ahve to add fields manually
13:06 miousse you have to create your xml file which is a flexform on your own and than manualy add your flexform to your plugin in ext_tables.php
13:06 miousse see tt_news how his xml file is donne
13:06 Conic ok
13:06 Conic i'll look at that
13:07 Conic i looked through the whole Video2Brain tutorial about t3 extensions, no word of flexforms...
13:07 Conic thanks
13:07 fuchur pmk65 too much work ^^
13:08 miousse and the function you have to use to add the flexform to your plugin is: t3lib_extMgm::addPiFlexFormValue($_EXTKEY . '_pi1', 'FILE:EXT:yourextpi1/flexform_ds.xml');
13:08 fuchur tryin to extract cImage() from tslib_cobj to use it native :)
13:08 pmk65 i did it once for an eID script. If you want I can paste the code for you to look at?
13:08 ries t3lib_extMgm::addPiFlexFormValue($_EXTKEY.'_pi1', "FILE:EXT:$_EXTKEY/flexform_pi1_ds.xml");
13:09 fuchur pmk65 would be great
13:09 pmk65 http://pastie.org/671438
13:09 ries Ahhh already pasted :)
13:09 ries pmk65: if I need to go that far.. I ususally use a type instead of a eID script...
13:10 fuchur man ... that sucks :( why is it so difficult to generate thumbnails in the BE
13:10 Conic miousse: thanks so far
13:10 Conic ries. thanks
13:11 pmk65 ries: I do that too, (After I wrote that ext hehe)
13:11 Conic i'll read through that for a while
13:11 fuchur thanks alot pmk65
13:11 fuchur will read throu this
13:11 ries fuchur: there are a gazillion methods to generate thumbnails from files... if you need fairly 'static' thumbnails (not configured with TS) then use a simple scale script?
13:11 fuchur i got a bunch of PDF and just want to generate two thumbnails each
13:11 pmk65 Conic: you might want to read this one.. http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/tutorials/doc_tut_frontend/0.0.1/view/
13:12 fuchur with TYPO3 tools onboard
13:12 fuchur one width=66 and one width=400
13:19 fuchur mh, in the end cObj does nothing different then calling convert(), does it?
13:19 fuchur probably I should just place this call myself :)
13:20 fuchur mh not convert() but convert(.exe)
13:21 fuchur i had just to find out where TYPO3 takes the IM config from and use it to directly execute convert
13:35 animan hi. is there any way to set sr_feuserregister plugin not to hide unconfirmed fe users?
14:10 ries anybody available here to do some TYPO3 related work?
14:11 coolguy hi there. is it possible to allow be users to upload theire own .htpasswd and .htaccess files via the filelist module?
14:11 sorenmalling coolguy: Allowing the extensions "htpasswd" and "htacces" perhaps?
14:12 coolguy if you mean in localconf.php:
14:12 coolguy $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['BE']['fileExtensions']['webspace']['allow'] = 'htaccess';
14:12 coolguy doesnt work ;-(
14:19 jbaptiste_j strange thing happening with images. A contributor creates images (JPG) those images will show in BE thumbnails but not in Frontend (there is a image not found placeholder) nomatter how I rename those images and reupload them. Now If Icreate my own blank image then copy paste the content of those images, I can upload those and they will show in Frontend (???)
14:23 miousse jbaptiste_j: i think that it is related to http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=12341
14:25 jbaptiste_j miousse this bug is for 4.2.10 this server is in 4.2.5 so I don't know (we intended to make the patch to 4.2.10 this evening)
14:26 jbaptiste_j by the way my thumbs work, just the FE display don't
14:26 miousse ya i know
14:26 miousse i had the same error yessterday
14:27 miousse i cleared my tempfiles and my images rebuild as they where suppose to
14:28 miousse but we had the bug i mentioned
14:28 jbaptiste_j you cleared the tempfile in the install tool ?
14:30 miousse from quixplorer i deleted all my images that where generated in typo3temp/GB
14:30 miousse cause i used GIFBUILDER
14:35 ries any freelancers here?
14:36 jbaptiste_j miousse typo3temp/GB is empty except for a index.hml file
14:37 jbaptiste_j and would GIF builder make any difference to JPG images ?
14:42 miousse in my case i cleared GB because i knew that my image where stored their
14:43 miousse in your case, i dont know where your files are stored
14:43 jbaptiste_j OK I see
14:44 jbaptiste_j mine are in /uploads/pics/
14:44 miousse ries: why do you need freelancers?
14:44 ries miousse: for a project I am working on...
14:45 miousse ries: i know some
14:45 ries miousse: care to share the info?
14:45 ries and availability?
14:46 miousse ries: but i in canada so i dont know if its a problem
14:46 ries miousse: the timezone would be gread (I am in Ecuador)
14:46 ries but it depends a bit on there hourly rate....
14:47 miousse ries: i'll try to contact them
14:47 ries thanks
14:51 miousse ries: he is comming on the chat
14:52 ries ok
14:54 miousse hi phil
14:54 pfek hi
15:18 jbaptiste_j I understand what happened to my pics, it is due to some redirection rules
15:18 jbaptiste_j in apache
15:18 FloLeBlanc is it possible to reinstall the t3skin extension for typo3 4.1.13? I can't seem to find the correct version in the repository (only 0.0.2)
16:29 thomase does anyone know about this one: when activating short_open_tag to "On" the backend-interface delivers a blank page (no content at all, not even html-header or something)
16:30 maholtz|WORK check your php error log
16:33 thomase no entry at all, can i enable additional debugging somewhere?
16:33 maholtz|WORK localconf.php:
16:33 maholtz|WORK $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['sqlDebug'] = 1;
16:33 maholtz|WORK $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['displayErrors'] = 1;
16:33 maholtz|WORK $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['debug'] = 1;
16:34 thomase nice, thanks, I'll try that. i saw that requesting the /typo3 with curl on the command line gives me "Browser error: Your browser version looks incompatible with this TYPO3 version"
16:35 maholtz|WORK wondering - never saw such an error
16:37 maholtz|WORK ok, have a look into the source - $CLIENT['BROWSER'] is empty, so you get that error
16:38 thomase okay i got the error
16:39 thomase the file /typo3conf/ext/chgallery/lib/class.tx_chgallery_tca.php is completely f**ed up, no newlines...
16:39 bluespuke bye
16:57 Dimaip Hi! Can anyone help me with installing kickstarter for extbase please?
16:58 ct529 hi everybody
16:58 animan hi. anyone knows how can I add a blank selection to sr_feuser_register' country selection input that is selected by default? I've tried adding a country to the root page so static info table would add it there and i could select it, but without any success :(
16:59 ct529 a friend need to create and send a newsletter , and possibly archive it .... what is the best way to do so in typo3?
17:12 ct529 that is, is it possible to send newletter to the web users from within typo3?
17:12 ct529 this may well be the deciding factor for him (whether to use typo3 or something else)
17:15 animan ct529: yes it is
17:15 animan with Direct Mail, for example
17:17 animan see the online manual for more information: http://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/direct_mail/current/
17:20 ct529 <animan> is that the one you would recommend?
17:21 Conic i got a problem again with the kickstarter
17:22 ct529 <animan> just because when you do a search on newsletter there are 40 results returned, and it is very difficult to make sense of it
17:22 Conic when i create a new FE plugin, then the kickstarter creates a disturbing question mark icon under the "select plugin" dropdown in the backend
17:45 Underpointer hi
17:47 Underpointer has anybody still the problem that the FE Session get randomly new created, so my Session-Data i'll try to save there, gets erased?
17:47 Underpointer i found some bugs in older version, but i got the newest version and it still happens
17:48 Underpointer i'm saving some data with the setKey funtion and normaly this works fine, but sometimes on an IE the Session get lost
18:56 schabracke hey there!
18:58 iaj` hello there.
19:00 iaj` I've got a little problem I defined a custom tag in lib.parseFunc... looking like this:lib.parseFunc.tags.testme = TEXT ....testme { current = 1; wrap=<div class="button"><h1>|</h1></div> but... frontend shows p tags instead of that div tags :(
19:00 iaj` how comes?
19:08 iaj` lib.parseFunc_RTE.nonTypoTagStdWrap.encapsLines> helped
19:23 iaj` hm now its erasing all p tags :S
20:36 fuchur mh, somehow i'm not able to call convert throu exec()
20:36 fuchur if i use the same command on shell it works
20:37 fuchur but throu exec() it gives status code 1
20:37 fuchur and does not work
20:38 ries fuchur: this might not be a TYPO3 thing..
20:38 ries do you run savemode?
20:38 ries did you check what the command returns (any error messages?)
20:38 fuchur noe ... i can run other commands throu exec() without problems
20:39 fuchur it does not return anything
20:40 fuchur cat e. g.
20:40 fuchur everything else works throu exec()
20:42 fuchur ok, i got a lot of questionmarks laying around here :D
20:43 StaffanE fuchur: standard php setting too disallow exec()
20:45 fuchur as mentioned, other commands work like a charme
20:45 fuchur how does TYPO3 use imagemagick if exec() would be disallowed?
20:46 fuchur TYPO3 also calls imagemagick command throu exec() in t3lib_stdgraphic
20:47 miousse versions?
20:48 fuchur of what?
20:48 miousse typo3
20:48 fuchur T3 4.2.10
20:48 fuchur of course :)
20:49 fuchur Version: ImageMagick 6.5.5-10 2009-10-25 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org
20:49 miousse i saw a bug related to stdgraphic in 4.2.10
20:49 miousse http://bugs.typo3.org/view.php?id=12341
20:50 miousse could it be related
20:51 fuchur i don't use the stdgraph functions, i built my own
20:51 fuchur just using t3lib_div::imageMagickCommand() and exec()
20:53 miousse and that is what the stdgraphic class uses
20:53 fuchur the command built with imageMagickCommand() works when pasted to the shell
20:53 fuchur ah
20:53 fuchur ok i will check this out
20:55 miousse bug was not their in 4.2.9
20:56 fuchur safe_mode is off anyway
21:34 kraftb hello !
21:34 kraftb i have a question regarding offerts for sites ... anyone having some experience in this direction?
21:34 kraftb I have to make an offer for redesigning a site.
21:35 kraftb the customer wants 2-3 suggestions for the new layout.
21:35 StaffanE kraftb: last time as was involved in a site redesign we used a bounty site
21:35 kraftb the question is: do you charge the customer for making a design suggestion?
21:35 kraftb i mean. If i (let) make two design suggestion, send them to the customer. and he doesn't like them.
21:36 StaffanE kraftb: i would charge for the time
21:36 StaffanE kraftb: but depends on the size of the project
21:36 kraftb does he have to pay until then ... i mean if we fix one of the design to match his needs, then the full contract would get conducted ...
21:36 kraftb well ... just a redesign, some WAI stuff,
21:36 kraftb and integrating external data (XML) ... but my question is rather about the design suggestions
21:37 MyGoddess kraftb, you may estimate the time you'll take to make the suggestions and the final work. It's the time your client should pay.
21:37 StaffanE kraftb: be fuzzy about the design and give some vauge suggestions on a new design
21:37 kraftb I mean - I would not want to let another company make design suggestions (at least they have a CD/CI) - and if he doesn't like it I would have to pay the designer, and get nothing from the customer
21:37 MyGoddess However, you should ask him about his wishes for the design.
21:38 kraftb I did - but he did not tell me any details. I guess he doesn't want to influence my ideas ...
21:38 MyGoddess That's good.
21:38 boonkerz hi kraftb
21:39 kraftb the site already exists. I should not change something on the structure or content ...
21:39 kraftb just a new layout.
21:40 MyGoddess kraftb, so, I don't think you should worry. However your client may have bad tastes.
21:41 MyGoddess In these case, you have a advisor role.
21:41 kraftb ok. So I'll charge him for the design suggestions. That was what I wanted to know.
21:41 kraftb I mean it could have been, that this is uncommon in our business.
21:41 MyGoddess The suggestions are part of the work to get the final work.
21:42 kraftb yes. And I should fomulate my offert in such a way, that the suggestions are step#1 of the project. and if he doesn't like them the projects ends there, and otherwise step#2 - the TYPO3 integration will continue
21:43 kraftb it's the first time I have this business situation. until now I rather only did extensions or sites for other companies/agencies where there already was a design ready for implementation
21:43 MyGoddess It's no really that. I think, that even if the client doesn't completly likes the suggestions, their may only some changes to do to satisfy him.
21:45 MyGoddess If you are really worried, you may make suggestions, make him choose one. If it is not completly satisfying, it can be a start for little modifications the satisfy the client, and then the integration can be done.
21:46 MyGoddess The client won't agree if there is a complete stop if the suggestion doesn't satisfy him completly.
21:46 kraftb yes. this way is like i know it from the time being employed.
21:46 kraftb my boss had the designer make 2 or 3 suggestions, he presented them to the customer.
21:46 kraftb and then they made some minor or major modifications to the design they liked most
21:47 kraftb but in this case, the designer was employed in the company I worked for.
21:48 kraftb and now i need to have an external company/designer make the suggestions.
21:49 kraftb i mean. let me express in german what my fear is ... if me, and the customer will not "auf einen grünen zweig kommen" - which means we find a way both of us are fine with, then I need some way to retreat from the contract
21:49 kraftb without being sued or something ... I hope you understand what I mean. When I have to make an offer for some programming. I KNOW what I can do and what not.
21:50 kraftb but not in the case of design - because this is mostly a thing of like or dislike.
21:50 kraftb I guess I think somehow in the wrong direction here ... but do not worry. I think I'll manage this somehow ;)
21:50 fuchur mh i think this is a common problem on the graphical sector
21:51 fuchur what to do if the customer simply "does not like" what you did
21:51 MyGoddess This is common, yes.
21:51 StaffanE when i do consultancy jobs (it-support) I bill every minute that the job takes incl. documentation and time reporting
21:52 fuchur i think the common way is to show a basic design beforehand to make sure it is in the right direction
21:52 fuchur of course this is extra work which is not payed if the customer doesn't like it
21:53 MyGoddess some sketch, you mean ?
21:53 fuchur yep ...
21:53 MyGoddess or draft
21:54 uriahhee1 uh, does anyone know whether it's possible to implement creation/editing of a content element by a frontend user on a page where each frontend user will have their own assigned elements, which other frontend will not be able to edit?
21:54 uriahhee1 i mean, i don't really want to create a group for each user...
21:56 boonkerz can i use gmenu_layers with more as 2 layers?
21:56 MyGoddess uriahhee1, I don't remember you can set modification restriction on content elements, only on pages.
21:56 uriahhee1 MyGoddess: yes, you can
21:57 uriahhee1 MyGoddess: per group, but i don't know whether it can be done per user
22:23 kraftb hey. anyone having corel draw installed?
22:25 kraftb I would need a .cdr file converted to .ai or .svg .... anyone having time.
22:25 kraftb I owe you 2 answers to TYPO3 questions!
22:25 kraftb (as long as they are core, typoscript, php concering)
22:25 kraftb ! ;)
23:21 pmk65 kraftb: Have you got the file converted yet?
23:21 kraftb no.
23:21 kraftb :(
23:22 kraftb I tried some unix tools. but most of them cannot read the corel draw .cdr
23:22 pmk65 I have coreldraw v3 installed. Do you have the file online somewhere?
23:22 kraftb inkscape can, but does not show it correctly.
23:22 kraftb no. I can send it via mail
23:22 kraftb email ?
23:22 pmk65 there are some cdr files which can't be converted correctly to other formats.
23:22 pmk65 (obscured mail address)
23:23 pmk65 or install this one.. -> https://www.getdropbox.com/home
23:26 kraftb mails should be on the way ...
23:28 pmk65 Do you know this one? (can't convert vector files yet) http://www.zamzar.com/
23:29 pmk65 no mail from you yet.. ZZzz.. :)
23:32 fuchur men
23:32 fuchur i got it
23:33 fuchur i beat imagemagick at last
23:33 kraftb hmm ... no error message.
23:33 kraftb well. if you do not get the mail, just dont care. I'll ask my customer tomorrow to send me an .ai version.
23:34 kraftb he converted it to an .jpg today - but that doesn't help me when I have to cut out part of the images.
23:34 kraftb it seems nothing works today.
23:35 pmk65 cdr format is one of those formats where you got to have the original program, as theres no others that can convert them correctly. (Thats the only reason I have coreldraw installed )
23:36 pmk65 btw still no mail..
23:40 kraftb ok. then don't care. do not know why the mail doesn't work.
23:41 kraftb it is in my outbox.
23:41 kraftb I just wonder why I do not get an error message.
23:41 pmk65 If you have a jpg and want it in vector, you could try this service: http://vectormagic.com/home
23:42 pmk65 It allows 2 free conversions per email address. (but you can circumvent that by using this service: http://www.jetable.org/en/index ;)
