General Discussion / Re: OS2World Site Update
« on: March 20, 2025, 09:07:27 pm »
Hello *,

While I am at throwing weird ideas... I wonder if 'roll-up' sections could be done in OS2World?
This would allow to focus on the ones we want to follow...

Just a thought...

Have a nice one you all !

Hola everybody,

I think I just fixed this. Please check
Regards

Yes! The favicon (I forgot the right term) is back! Isn't that prettier ?

Sadly I think I can not do much here. The script/plugin that showed the "new" icon the forum widget in the main page it's gone. It is not supported anymore and died with Joomla 3. I made a PHP script (with a lot of cursing :) ) that shows the latest forum posts to replace that script/plugin. But let me try the weekend, since I remember that SMForum had something to let you know if a post is "new", but I will have to test it.

It's sad to read that. This function was very practical and made it easier to consult ongoing discussions.

I'm not sure what I can do here. Was it more "condensed/crused" to the center before? This template has two settings, fixed size and flexible (which means will take all the screen resolution). Maybe the flexible size way is not something that we will like. I also think it changes according the screen resolution and font size on each computer.

The current "Latest Forum Posts" content is indeed more condensed than the other sections. I see there's no line spacing between the items.
I don't know for the others, but I think it is still readable without the spacing lines.

Bye for now,

Hello Martin and all,

Now OS2World.com has been updated here are some notes about the site's main window:
  • Its "look" is less "compact" - unless I missed some well hidden user options to customize the Joomla interface
  • There's no way to check if a followed forum discussion has been updated at a glance (No "new" flag) - unless there's a way to do it by any other means
  • No customized icon for the bowser tab (I am sure David G can help!  ;) ;) )
I don't know if something could be done.

Have a nice one you all!

Hola Martin,

The vintage pointer sets are indeed inside the ZIP package. I was looking for particular ones. Since the pointer set names are not mentioned in the description they can't be searchable, alas.
No worries: these belong to the past anyway.

Thanks for pointing that out. :)

Hello GG

I have consolidated several pointers in the PointerPack.
Check it out at: https://hobbesarchive.com/Home/Download?path=/Hobbes/pub/multimedia/pointer/PointerPak_1-4.zip

The rest of the pointers are here:
https://hobbesarchive.com/?path=%2fpub%2fmultimedia%2fpointer

Let me know if you find some pointers missing.

Regards

Bonjour to all,

I just discovered this topic.

About OS/2 mouse pointer sets, they all have disappeared in the "new" Hobbes archive.
Too bad.  ;)

Have a nice day, and a happy New Year while I am at it, to you all.

...And the garbage collector has not even been mentioned.

Don't forget they're planning to conquer the universe!

Hola *!

OK. Let's try via another more recent (2021-01-11) link:
  https://www.os2.org/viewtopic.php?t=2769&hilit=ePDF
It's all ,auf Deutsch' but there's a download link to ePDF 2.99-6 on the first post (https://www.os2.org/download/file.php?id=1701).

Note that Franck can be contacted via Facebook, at least.  ;) I don't see why he wouldn't want to see this gem uploaded to Hobbes.

As our German friends would say: ,Tchüß' .

Bonjour,

- "/pub/os2/util/file"            - Maybe, since some of this command line utilities may be realted to files

The tools mentioned are meant for files and directories, so "/pub/os2/util/file" would make sense.

Adding more directories to Hobbes wouldn't make sense, IMHO.

BTW, thanks, Martin, for the job done so far on this huge project.

Have a nice day.
Take care you all.

Bonjour,

I'll see how ThunderBird (under Linux) performs with GMail passed May 30th.
There seems to be a way to make it to work with Office 365 at some point:
  https://blog.programster.org/connecting-thunderbird-to-office-365-when-using-2FA
  https://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=102005
I've also been told there's a payware extension for ThunderBird.

The security @Work has been elevated for the IT guys in such a way I receive a code by SMS for every connection.
I now feel like I am working at IBM or something!  :P

For the ones who would like to keep on using the good old PMMail, it will be quite difficult.

@Rémy : je transmettrai le message. J'espère pouvoir aller visiter sa nouvelle maison, près du "berceau" d'IBM/Lexmark France.  ;) En remontant la Loire à la nage, si je veux (mais si je le veux vraiment, hein !), je peux même aller chez lui sans utiliser une goutte d'essence...

Bonjour to all,

This message to inform you that PMMail, among other mail clients, can't access "outlook.office365.com" via POP/SMTP protocols (via Stunnel) anymore, due to the activation of two-factor authentication.
This will soon be the case for the access to GMail.com starting May 30th.

This marks  the end of using of PMMail for me. And this will force me to use the web mail of the providers :-\ and not on OS/2  :'(

I still have to find an alternative to ETeller and I'll probably phase out my old OS/2 (eCS) machine.

Have a nice day you all!

Hola Martin !

About file naming: I noticed the "SetBaud_1-0..zip" file with a double "." in Hobbes /pub/incoming this morning.
FWIW.

Hey Guillaume
Does this do what you are wanting?
https://hobbes.nmsu.edu/?dir=%2F&stype=all&sort=type_date&search=%2F

Hi Andy!
Yes, this works better than what is provided by the available search button but for root only, it seems.

Curiously, this does not work from /pub/incoming, pub/java, pub/java/apps, ...
https://hobbes.nmsu.edu/?dir=%2Fpub%2Fincoming&stype=all&sort=type_date&search=
isn't sorted by date.

Something is apparently broken.

<shameless plug>Of course NDFS FTP plugin can show you the remote directory and allows you to sort it like you want with the available DIR arguments, but still.
Hi to Vitali Pelenyov, BTW.</shameless plug> ;)

Bonjour,
Instead of opening a new thread I prefer to dig up this one, since this can also be considered as a strange behaviour of Hobbes web interface.

I wonder if anyone here also noticed that since Hobbes went "SSL", the sort option doesn't seem to work anymore ("search=&stype=any&sort=date&dir=%2F"), especially the "sort by date".
Using ISO date format would be easier for this, but anyway I am sure that a good script can deal with a date string.  :P

OK. Some will tell me the date field doesn't mean anything with the All Ye Olde Archives posted recently, but still.

Have a nice day you all !
