Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

@bigpup ,

Good idea so I added an extension to do just that.

Hello smokey01, Problem is, this is an extension module, it is tricky finding in the mile of code where and why the font or dropdown menu color are configured. the simple mention extension seems to also be controlled by some of the currently used theme's CSS. We will continue to mess with it until t...

@sheldonisaac Wow! Good find, even while intensely working on learning all the nuances of this software I didn't know where this was until now. Excellent info Sir sheldonisaac

[mention]smokey01[/mention] I uploaded the modified css again. Please clear the browser cache and test again

[mention]MochiMoppel[/mention] that is really odd! I made the changes and now they are not there. So I put them back in. Please clear the browser cache and test again. /* Code block */ .codebox { background-color: #000000; border-color: #808080; } .codebox p { border-bottom-color: #808080; } .codebo...

[mention]taersh[/mention] I think one can individually control whether or not one can receive email from the User Control Panel.

User Control Panel -> Board Preferences -> Users can contact me by email:

I am looking into the exposed email problems reported. There is always the option of turning off all email functions if the issue can not be addressed.

default settings for palemoon are in /root/.moonchild productions. Note that it is a hidden directory indicated by the "." before the directory name (this applies to files as well). To see them in the ROX file manager left click the 'eyeball' to "see hidden files"

Hello 1jss,

Good work! I will download and set up the remaster and give it a run.

[mention]MochiMoppel[/mention] excellent point so I made the changes

Testing code block :

typing a "@" followed by the user name a drop down menu will appear to select the user. I have already changed the background color of the simple mention module menu for further testing.

It should be easier to read now

@wiak catches the attention....does the profile style setting over ride the style that is selected for a forum as the default?

I just tested and no it does not appear to.

I noticed as well that the drop down was very hard to read using it in the mention tag.
I will see what can be done.

Hello [mention]mikewalsh[/mention]

I like the theme also, it's called "ne-blackgreen"

I do also smokey01. I grew up on terminals connected to mainframes glowing green on black. I set my terminals on all my Puppy's to be green text on a black background.

You can try out BionicDog which uses apt, apt-get and is from the creator of DebianDog. https://debiandog.github.io/doglinux/zz06-zbionicdog.html Home page -> https://debiandog.github.io/doglinux/ It's compact and has the package manager you are used to. I will let some of the real experts explain t...

Hello!

As one can see here is a dark theme from the factory called the Prosilver Dark Edition. For now the Off-Topic Area will feature this theme for trial runs.
Let's see how it works.

As a test here is both a 32 and 64 bit version of DOSBox compiled on Puppy Linux Bionic32 and Bionic64.

Hello [mention]smokey01[/mention]

see what you think about the theme Prosilver Dark Edition premiering here -> viewforum.php?f=52

I will look at some themes that are available and chose 1 or 2 forums to try it out on.

[mention]OscarTalks[/mention] ,

I think I have it now, or close.......please test again! 80 meg upload limit.

Hello HerrBert,

Nice!
For me to get it to work on a Bionic64-CE (woof-CE made) I had to download and install this -> https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/i386 ... 0/download
and then in a terminal: I like it a lot thank you.

[mention]OscarTalks[/mention]

Thank you for the tip. Please test attaching a .pet file, I made that administrative change.

I had to manually activate nic007 and I did not attempt to send a mail again through the "Force Re-activation" switch. It would be good to know if the server side of Gmail's junk filters removed the email. I am seeing a rash of newly registered users landing in the "inactive users&quo...

[mention]musher0[/mention]

Yes it should. This will also help to better search the forum for shell scripts as an example. PHP is also a scripting language used heavily in web applications and sites.

take a look! viewforum.php?f=136

Hello Everyone, Some changes to the forum structure have been completed to reduce the length of the index page. Weighing a lot of good ideas and suggestions that have been posted and so giving them a try out. The sub-forum "Hardware" might be eliminated but for now it is in Puppy Projects ...

Hello taersh!

You know that does make sense. I think your right and I should move the "Specialized" sub-forum to Puppy Derivatives.

Does it mean a Puppy derivative devoted to one task? Yes it is. For example there are some Puppy's out there that are used so an average thrown away desktop can be used as a CNC machine controller with a real time kernel. Then of course the Puppy Linux derivatives that are built for making electron...

there is always the way of installing a package that has it as a dependency like the Adobe reader...some where I read about a problem missing this same lib and solved it by installing a package that used it.
