I start translating e107 to Serbian language and see that Help is very confusing.

This is chatbox help:

What is the Replace Links section for?
You can convert any links entered in your chatbox to other text, or an image. This keeps your chatbox from overflowing with long website addresses. To use an image, tick Replace Links, and in the box below enter <img src='path_to_your_image' alt='' />, now any links entered will be converted to the image you entered.

What's Wordwrap for?
If someone entered a very long word in your chatbox it could disrupt the layout of your site. If you were to enter 40 in the Wordwrap box, any works longer than 40 characters would be wrapped so the column wouldn't be extended. You may have to change this value corresponding to the theme you are using, and the width of the column your chatbox is in.

My site is for all ages yet someone keeps swearing in the chatbox - how can I stop this?
Go to the Preferences screen in your admin section, and find the Protection of minors options. You can add a list of words here that will be replaced by a word or sentence of your choice, for example CENSORED! Now anytime that work is encountered on your site it will be replaced with the text you entered.

So new user do not have idea that this is related to Site Preferences/Text Rendering. Even me that use e107 for few years take a look at Chatbox Settings because I know that feature do not exist there.

Suggestion:

- General help page.
- Current page related help.

Some things must be more user friendly!

These help files are only accesible through the admin interface. Our experience is that hardly anyone actually reads those texts. That's probably why nobody bothered to report it. And that's probably also why nobody volunteered to make improvements.

Just as a heads up for you: the e107 development team is preparing a new release v1.0.2 (see news announcement v1.0.2 RC1).

Therefore from now on there is a freeze on all language file changes, in order to allow you to prepare the necessary language changes in your language pack.

We would like to ask you to please be so kind to download and upgrade your site using one of the downloads on this page:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/e107/files/e107/e107%20v1.0.2%20rc1/

There is an English language pack for v1.0.2 available; you might use that as your example and/or reference. At the bottom of this forum thread you will find a difference list between all 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 language files.

You can prepare and submit your v1.0.2 language pack (via your Admin area > Language > Language Packs).
Please always check the validity of your language pack in the admin area before sending it and do not forget to click the check box to indicate you are an official e107 translator.

We are looking forward adding your language pack to the list soon.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best regards,
Henk Jongedijk / nlstart
e107 Translation Team Leader
