Upgrading our forum module to include some of the more "forum-like" features is definitely high on the list for the next version, and the features you requested are some of the ones we've looked at adding. We'll do our best to get those included in it for you.

I wouldn't call that a "fix", so much as a workaround for your users! But yes, it can be done without too much trouble.
You'll need to modify two files:
inc-core-login-submit.php
- Uncomment (remove the two slashes from the beginning) this line (line 31):
$FormArguments['Username'] = strtolower($FormArguments['Username']);
That will convert their username to lowercase when they log in. Usernames are already converted to lowercase when they register due to MySQL limitations, but enabling this line may help avoid some confusion.
- Make a copy of the line you just modified above, and paste it into a new line below. Then change both "Username"s to "Password", so you get this:
$FormArguments['Password'] = strtolower($FormArguments['Password']);
That will convert their password to lowercase when they log in.
inc-core-register-submit.php
- Find the same line you uncommented above (approx line 30), and do the same thing as before, copying it to a new line and changing "Username" to "Password" in both places.
This will convert their password to lowercase when they register. As noted above their username is already converted to lowercase.
Then save both those files and upload them back to your server. You should keep a copy of your original ones in case you need to go back to them for reference. You'll definitely want to test this once you complete it, but it should work without any issues.

Unfortunately we don't currently have either of those options available in FlexCMS right now. If you require them immediately and would be willing to pay for them to be created, we're happy to discuss that with you as a custom programming project. Otherwise we'll add them to the list of requested features for our next version and try to get them included in that for you.

| A couple more requests | September 11, 2007 @ 12:11am | Member avitars would be nice.
1- 75 x 75 in size placed under the members name in the forum. This could be predefined avitars or custom avitars that users can upload to the images folder or even create a img link to.
2- Special rank avitars. Especially if you have different user groups in the forums. These could be a width upto 75 and height no more than 25 which are specially assigned to each access level.
User groups for the forum:
1- To be able to create user groups would also be nice. Not just access levels. That way people could create a group and leave it open for others to join or lock it down and have to manually assign a member into their group. These could also only be availible if you had a certain access level to use groups, kind of a privilege thing.
Signatures in the forum:
The ability to use a signature in the forum, text or img.
I have group a that relies on the forum very heavily! We have a lot of fun posting messages, making groups, and using stupid little avitars for structure, fun, and decoration. We used to use phpBB2 on the old site which allowed all of this to happen seamlessly. Myself and a few members decided to get away from the blog with links to everything that was external, chat room, bb2, gallery, and so on. Your CMS seamed promising but so far does not cater to forum users. Not that it was supposed too! You have done a wonderful job here dont get me wrong. Just hoping that this could be a possibility in the future so we have something more to look forward too.
Also the above could be controlled by the site admin as turn on/off features.
Thank you very much for listening to me babble on,

| Case Sensitive Login | September 10, 2007 @ 11:43pm | I have had several complaint from people signing in that they get rejected when trying to login. We narrowed it down to the case sensitive use of the login and password.
I know case sensitive logins are extra security but I can do without people nagging at me to help them log in all the time.
Is there a fix for this? If not, that is OK I will have to make an extra effort to notify people before they register like using a pop up window or bold text warning in case they have JS disabled.
Thanks,
Chuck |

| member avitars | September 10, 2007 @ 11:34pm | Is there a way to allow members to create custom avitars 75 x 75 to be placed under the member name in the forums.
Such as 
Or is there a way that I can assign special rank avitars to be used in the same manner. |

It depends what type of meta tags you're trying to add to your site.
If you would like to add meta keywords and descriptions, those can be easily done through FlexCMS without modifying any files. You can add them site-wide through the Modify Site Preferences section of the control panel. You can also add them on a per-page basis for any custom created pages, through the Pages section. Any pages without their own individual tags will display the site ones.
On the other hand, if you need to add a special tag to the meta section, such as for a specific search engine to recognize you as the owner of the site, those can be added through the template you're using. This is stored in the "template.php" file, located in the "templates" folder under the folder of the specific template.

| Meta Tags | September 9, 2007 @ 10:20pm | | I would like to place some meta information in the index file. I opened the index.php and it was as i thought, just a php file. Where can I place meta info so search engines find it when they crawl the index or site map of the site? |
