They are in it too !! Everything that is part of the website language is set
by those locale files (only CVS instructions are not part of it yet but
will).

It's up to you guys. French use day month year like 31/12/2004 .... and i
think only US is 12/31/2004. Doing this will need i think the have three
columns in the database with day, month and year to change the way it
screens, or make some substring(); ...... and i means also to make a
difference between UK and US .... i think it would be better to keep d/m/Y
for everyone but it's ike you want !!!

Well, so i think what would be the simpliest is two fields, a first one for
introduction, and a second one with the article. So there, you could cut
wherever you want. Here, a readmore checkbox wouldn't be necessary cause if
the article field is empty, it doesn't put a read more link.
Good ?


Happy new year !!!!!

Hi Guys,

hope this one makes it throught to the mailing list....

I'm happy to report I've added basic contact list caching and it seems to 
work now....only doesn't show in the GUI yet, or so I think. It could be 
that you'll get an empty contact list when the list versions are the 
same....(have to add the GUI code tomorrow)....changes are in CVS now...

As I said in my previous mail, that didn't get through to the mailing 
list....don't bother about US, just keep it day-month-year (the EU way ;)).

I'm a bit jealous...but as the Irish say: "Slaínte!"
I spontaniously get a thirst for Guinness ;)

I meant they are online so you can access them with any webbrowser. 
Just go to bme.sf.net/main2.css and take a look :D
