Hi there! I did not find a place to contact developers except this forum. So here's my proposal:

- why do you use gmtime() instead of gmmktime()? I had big problems with it. Everything was fine on localost, but when i deployed my site on a remote host, time was incorrect. I found that reason was in the value returned by date('Z') which was incorrect while gmmktime() returned the same values on local and remote machines. So i think gmmktime is more safe.

- one thing i've missed in cms was the ability to set different themes for different modules. For example, theme1 for module1 and theme2 for other modules, etc.

- why do you disable center blocks in admin section and non-home modules? it is very inconvinient especially if i have custom nav bar as center block

- why do you force Anonymous's user_dst and user_timezone to 0? sometimes all site visitors are from the same timezone != 0 so i could simply change timezone for Anonymous to put everything ok, but that won't work.

- would be fine to see 'Remember me' option in user login box, cause at present user sessions stay permanent till he clicks logout, but what if he accessed site from internet-cafe and didn't click logout? other man can access account of that user and make many other bad things. So i propose you to drop session data when browser is closed by default and make a 'Remember me' option for those who don't like this behaviour. Like when logging into admin section.

- another good thing is to automatically hide blocks if there isn't one

- some words about wysiwyg. i think that news module must have such editor (at present, bbcode functions are invoked directly but not thru wysiwyg class) and ability to select custom editor; also i wanted to say that fckeditor doesn't work with dragonfly 9.11 (however, it can easily be fixed)

- i also propose to break MORELINK into parts

- Search module has some problems with i18n (when it displays adv. options for module, module name is not i18zed)

- few words about russian language pack. gotta say it is not full (especially admin sections are not translated) and contains many translation errors.

- i had troubles with my hoster beacause of forcing engine=MyISAM in create table qrys

Sorry if smth's wrong.
With best regards, slip

It is most advisable (in fact, it is required) to post requests only in the Requests forum, and post other problems in relevant forums, on a topic basis.

I can answer this one:

I don't remember when non-home modules was changed, but it is in CVS. You can now set a center block for any module.

Ok, but most of my post are requests caused by problems so i decided to make only one topic. Besides, i see that debuggers read my post anyway

- gmtime() was made for a reason and you seem to use PHP >= 5.2

- yep it's not there, you create it?

- you create it then?

- sometimes all visitors have 0 and other times they have: -1, +1, -9, +12 so how do you know what the "standard" must be?

- yes we could do that

- hide something that is not there?

- you understand the security implifications?

- what kind of parts?

- yep is missing

- you go fix it?

- it's just the fastest and easiest

Now you go match the - with your - since you also forgot numbering

- 1. nothing to say
- 2. maybe (it works for me but it is really _bad_ code)
- 3. i fixed it in my site. sarah says it's already fixed in cvs
- 4. i mean there must be a way to set default timezone to something other than 0. It could be easily done by changing anonymous's timezone if there weren't code that forces it to 0
- 5. ok
- 6. there's no blocks but space for blocks remains. what will happen if i enable for example right blocks for a module but there won't be any right blocks visible for that module? - unused space on the right side.
- 7. no, can you explain ?
- 8. oh i see there's no MORELINK. well i meant newstopic.S_MORELINK block var. So i suggest to break it into: link to story, bytes more (most sites don't show such info, maybe it is not needed at all?), comments, options(send to friend, etc), rating. Why? cause many of this is not needed in most sites or this info is not shown in one string, but if i want to change this, i need to edit source code
- 9. nothing
- 10. well it is really hard work and sometimes to make a right translation there's not enough defines and again i need to edit source. however, i'm working on this for my site, but i dont intend to make a full translation. if you'll accept my version (with little less errors and little more defines translated) i'll of course give it to you.
- 11. i know, mean my hoster's mysql couldn't eat that without errors
- 12. new! forgot to mention it yesturday. your cms has many things that are used not so often, but one can't disable them. For example, i mean gallery(which is connected to cms very tightly like windows and internet explorer:) ), 'my headlines' (what if my site is already a news site?). more flexibility and configurability!

p.s. seems i wrote i can't disable gallery. of course i can, but i wanted just delete it and this is impossible. well, 12th req is not a very big problem and maybe you shouldn't fix it, but it was just very inconvinient for me.

Looking forward hearing from you.
