How do I get rid of the [L and the closing ].....it looks bad like that, sloppy

You have to login in as admin, then when you go to the forums, you will see a link that says Compile Languages: EN

Click on the EN link and you are done.

cheers

great and effective! Thanks! 

This answers one of my questions. Thanks! 

What happens when you recompile and that doesn't work? the brackets show up on the Forums Post on the Home page? How do I get rid of that one?

When I click on Compile Languages: EN I get a popup box that says

"  [L[Language files compilation have been failed]] " and still have the problem

if it says failed, just keep doing it, what browser are you using as well. this could make a difference. i was told one time previously that they just kept clicking it and finally it said success. so give that a whirl. otherwise depending on how old your site is, i would think about a fresh install, if you were like me, i was messing with all kinds of stuff trying to get that to go away and ended up trashing my orca, you could also try to drop that directory and then reupload it, and see if that gives you any gratifications.

Worked Great for me. Thanks!

I am also getting the errors but only with the Groups Forums!

I have recompiled in the General forums and it solved the issue there!  But not sure what to do next for the Groups forum

Just complie the same way from www.yoursite.com/groups/orca

Yep!  That worked great! But how did I miss that?

Cheers

I'm still having this problem. any ideas? I tried everything.

UPDATE: I have sovled the problem. It was due to the folders permissions.

Hi there!

I'm not sure if it's the correct place to post this, so sorry if not.

I compiled a new language for my Orca Forum and everything seems to work ok. However each time I enter my site the language changes automatically to the default one, "English", and I have to go every day to the admin panel and compile the "Spanish" language so that my forum works in Spanish and not in English.

My question is: Do I have to compile the language I want every day in order this works? or How can I do?

I want to use only "Spanish".

Thanks!!!

Thank you very much .. It really helpfuls and save my lot of time. Thank you again.

I cant seem to find this link any longer on my site, and the forums doing just that... any ideas? I tried to uninstall orca forums and it wont let me

When you go to the Orca forums add this to the end of the URL

?action=goto&manage_forum=1

For some reason ever since 7.04 the ability to compile my forums went away.  This will get you there.

awsome it worked thank you so much, I just saved it as bookmark too just in case lol

I am suspecting your seeing this.



When what you should be seeing is this if your logged in as admin.




So going directly to that link is just a hack. The forums are still broken and should be fixed before you try to upgrade dolphin again.

So far the only fix i have seen for this problem that works is to uninstall the forums, delete the forum folder and re-upload from the full dolphin zip archive and reinstall the forums.

I'm not seeing any of that.  I don't see any of those menu options as shown in your screenshots.  Just the basic forum categories.

Might be because the thread was started back in 2008? lol

Check the dates of the last four posts.

Well, then yours is really broken. 7.0.4 and up are supposed to look like my second screenshot. Or maybe it was 7.0.3.  Hmmm, hell i can't even remember when the forums were changed.

deano92964,

You were correct that did work the way you mentioned for some reason, but now I have this error when displaying forum posts on the home page once logged in. It shows for showing forum post area. Any ideas?

this appears to be directly related to your template not being compatible.

I was afraid of that, drats... anyone wanna dig a little for me? lol
