rossweb, Please supply the path to that file... I can't find it.

bas123 -it's in  themes/default/- however it has suddenly stopped working for me when I went to edit the article - I think the problem may go deeper than this.

Additional:- Guess what, if you hit "yes" in the "use intro:" line and do not tick any in the "type of article" box, it starts working

Code Select Expand

<input align="middle" name="tp_article_switch'.$mg['id'].'" type="radio" value="html"' , $mg['useintro']==1 ? ' checked="checked"' : '' ,'> '.$txt['tp-gohtml'] .'


The purpose of that selection is for article type. The values (choices) for that radio button are "html" vs. "php", "bbc", or "import".

We're looking for the selection to Use Article Intros instead of the full article version.

Indeed the issue goes deeper, and the developers seem to be uninterested in resolving this CORE ISSUE.

I switched to Joomla several months ago. If the main purpose of your site is a Forum, then stick with TP and live with their priorities.

If you are looking for a real Open Source CMS (content management system), go to Joomla or Mambo. You'll need to integrate one of many Forums (including SMF), but they don't even come close to having the kind of problems that TP has.

bas123,

TP was NEVER meant to replace a CMS like Joomla, its just not possible and even really unfair to compare the two as they serve very different needs. I actually prefer Drupal over Joomla again, since Joomla cannot possibly do all that Drupal can do, like content types, better hierarchy possibilites, better cache handling,superior SEO features and so on - which further proves my point about different needs.

However, TP is in beta and many of the problems in beta1 are ironed out in beta2 soon to be released. As TP doesn't have the big support and development team like Joomla, things take more time - but we are nonetheless determined to make our little portal as bugfree and effective in what it does, as the big boys.

Not to mention the fact that the SMF no longer allows its use under Joomla, per the license, unless that has changed just recently.
