Some help..

1. I've noticed whenever login fails it shows this:

Invalid username or password. Login failed. Your IP address has been logged.

Supporting information: None provided.

How can we provide a Supporting information, is it a like a built-in faq we can create or..?

I'm not sure if IPs of login failures are really logged but can this be a option that we can disable from admin panel, as the truth is users get curious or get lost and seeing that message only scaries someone especially a web visitor who doesn't know what IP address is and sees its been logged..

2. Also How can i create another template for the site? I went into /sys and found almost every file in that folder correlating to one theme (except the includes folder) , so should i just create a duplicate /sys2 ?

2A) To change the structure of the site like 3 column, should i check out the /sys/tpl folder or go through css files?

I currently have a valid css/xhtml site, but i'm trying to see how i can port that into injader, basically its alot of css so i'm looking into injader's css (using Style Master 4.6 which i must say is greatly helping me learn css and edit them at once), hopefully if this goes well I'll definitley roll out my other templates and submit them here.

1. Supporting information is just part of the error page. Sometimes it's filled in, sometimes it isn't. Depends on the error.

It does get logged - go to AdminCP, Access Log - and you'll see a UserLoginFail entry with an IP address.

Would it be sufficient to remove the message that the IP address has been logged? In theory it could be a setting as to whether that kind of information is logged. That makes me ask if other things should be logged - although you can use the Tag option on the Access Log page to search for what you want. It's quite a powerful feature.

2. At the moment the templates are all stored in the AdminCP. There are four different types: Site, Area, Page, Comment. I'd like to combine the Area, Page and Comment templates into one template screen, and I would also like to combine the Site template somehow, so we end up with one "Theme" per area.

You can copy the templates in the AdminCP, you don't need to do anything via FTP. The /sys folder contains all of the back-end code, so I wouldn't advise copying it.

2A. The /sys/tpl files are used to recreate the default templates - you can recreate them by going to AdminCP - Import templates and plugins. Perhaps that should be on a separate screen, "Recreate default templates". The site and area templates both have a stylesheet that is stored in the database; page and comment templates do not have their own stylesheet, but they can reference styles in the site or area stylesheet.

Also is it possible at the moment to "Colorize" the forum? So instead of the tables, maybe using css add pictures or colors?

Yes, just edit the area/page/comment templates for the forum via the AdminCP. You can change the HTML and CSS there.

I see, so its not possible to create a design off Photoshop and export it for Injader's style?

I'm hoping for editing to this degree:

You would need to code the design and include the image URLs separately. I do have an idea to make this part easier.

Re: that URL - why? You mentioned SEO elsewhere, this style of URL is not SEO-friendly at all. I used to have something like this:

injader.com/view_article.php?id=1

Now it's more like this:

injader.com/view.php/article/1/article-title

It's still a bit long-winded but it's an improvement. Ideally I'd prefer to go with this:

injader.com/article/1/article-title

haha Ben ben, No no I didn't want you to look at the style of the url, i was asking yo uto visit that site and look at the tutorial they had posted.. Sorry sorry i didn't mean for you to look at the style of the url.

Its funny I wasn't even thinking of that nor making any thought of that at all, memht is a free cms but overcrowded with too much developers throwing in too much nonsense which practically killed the fun of the cms

Open up the address field in the browser and copy + paste the url and visit the site to look at what i'm saying, I was hoping that site designing could be as simple as mentioned on that website, maybe Injader is just like that, but if it can be included in the help files.

Thanks,
Stan

Sorry, my mistake.

The Injader template system is totally different - everything is edited online, there is no need to create HTML files and upload them via FTP - in fact that's the kind of process I have tried to avoid in Injader. Aside from new installs and upgrades, FTP access should not be required to use the system.

I do think there is some work that could be done to improve the existing system, namely reducing the number of different screens. This is on my list of things to do.
