Fatal download

[Kaki]

After many problems, as I told yesterday, I launched a brand new install, install #10

When arriving step 3 (Target) I chose Country, but I was unable to type France.
So I selected worldwide (stupid but...).
But the install program runs on itself, I' m stopped on step 3

Conclusion : install failed.
Launch install #11

...without selecting Country but worldwide : the install programm runs on itself again at step 3

Precision : Before lauching a new install, I begin to delete the database and clear all files in the main directory.
I shoud be glad to see ONE succesfull install, but I'm not sure it exists

It is ridiculous to propose 247 countries, if the new administrator has to delete 246 of them after installing the program.
It will be more useful to leave user create the countries needed for his job, in his own language !!
Then, in association, they are problems to manage regions and cities. I believe it will be more useful (and easy) to let the enduser enter the name of his city or area (we have in France more than 36000 villages and cities, it's not possible to manage this). And, in Europa, there are other countries which speak French (Switzerland, Luxembourg, Belgium...) how to manage this ?

You have an other problem when editing pages or items : if the only  possibility is to use en _US language (why not?), don't propose other choices, it crashes the program : once edited the page disappears !!

So I'm angry because there are too many problems, too many question BUT no answers.
I spent 4 days trying to use this script, I proposes to help the community by reporting the bugs I could dscover, but I have neither answer nor solution

It's time now for me and the project I have to manage to look for an other solution.

Sorry for my bad english, but I'm sure you have understood all I had to say and explain.

Hi Kaki,

I understand that you're angry because OSClass is not working fine to you. I don't understand exactly why you're having so many problems in your server, so If you want I would personally help you to install and run well OSClass, so we could learnt of our mistakes and some problems we can have in some servers.

So, if you let me help you contact me by e-mail ( juanramon@osclass.org ) and share with my (temporarily) the access to your server.

Hi Juan,

OK for me, I'll contact you by email, you can meet me by skype, WLmessenger or yahoo messenger, as you like.

See you soon

Hi Kaki,

You're right. Location management is giving us some problems. In Spain there're 50 regions(provincias). Each one has a lot of cities. Then, imagine after the install you have to write/create the 50 regions, it's a waste of time. We also include the cities so it will be easier for users to fill out the ads and SEARCH near items. For exmaple "Alcalá de Henares", could also be write as "Alcalá" or "Alcala" or "Alcala de Henares" (all of them are very similar, but not the same), so if you're looking for something, maybe you're missing some items because the user write the name not correctly.

Of course, that is for helping and making your life easier, if there's some bug / issues with that, we should fix them as soon as possible, because there's no point in using something broken. We'll try to help you as much as we can, but have in mind we're a very small team (most of the time we're only two developers), so some fix will take longer than others.

Thank you for your feedback, it's really helpfull.

Hi all,

As I said a few days ago, I installed the script on an other server : it WORKS !!!
I must now try to understand why it will not run on the good server .

Who can explain me how to install the french module ? If the backoffice is in French, the frontoffice stays in english.

I hope an answer 

Cheers

Hi Kaki,

Glad to see you've installed OSClass.

For the language thing :
Go to the admin panel > Languages option > Manage Languages
On the list, roll over French, a link should appear, hit "Enable (website)" (perhaps it appear "Disable (website)", that means you've already enabled it! So it's ok)

Once it's enabled, then go to "Settings" > General settings
On the right column, it should appears "Default Language", choose French, hit Update and you're done!


For the problem at installation we've found recently that in some configuration the install couldn't continue. If the option "allow_url_fopen" was set to false, the installer couldn't make it to step 4. Hopefully we solved that issue.

We're sorry we couldn't test every single configuration out there, we're try to make OSClass as cross-configuration as posible to reach a wide group of users. Thanks for all your feedback and patience.
