PHP-Fusion does have several features (Infusions) such as News, Blogs (Currently disabled), Web Links (very useful), Photos, Downloads, Articles, Polls/Surveys, etc. etc. I know they are not being used much right now but with people being directed here now, they could be beneficial on the long run.

I voted "Yes" on the poll, however it needs more explanation: SMF has for me 3 advantages: 1) Ability to continue where we left off - so continuing old threads 2) Familiarity of use 3) Speed of rendering - current arosworld.org "feels" slower comparing to aros-exec. I don't know if this is due to hosting plan (which can be solved with more money) or due to software itself (which can't be solved) 2) and 3) are something that will become less relevant with time (we will just adjust to change) On the other hand, current set up of arosworld.org has support for news, galleries and blogs which makes it much more that "just a forum". The question is whether @amigagamia you want to put effort in using these features (like continue posting news). I guess the ideal setup for me would be SMF for forums and having full-ledge News functionality available, but it's a tough call as I'm already getting used to new forum software, to 2) diminishes pretty quickly.

If you could extend the previous db with new functionalities it would be sweet! These like/dislike are sweet

[quote name=amigamia post=2263]@amigamia - Looks like AROS-Exec is finally down for good. I am in touch with 4pLaY via discord to get a copy of the backup files and database. Once I get a hold of them, I'll try setting up a subsite on arosworld.org. One question remains, Keeping two forums sites makes no sense then. Do we just restore aros-exec forum threads here and just rebrand it as arosworld.org (discarding this site files) or keep both of them running? What do you all think?[/quote] I prefer that you restore aros-exec as per last backup of 4pLaY and make it the new arosworld.org. SMF is way better as forum software (albeit I prefer vbullettin). You can keep the current one as a subforum, so you can have both (or you can close it, if there'll be no activity anymore. I assume that the new AE will be THE used one). And I would really appreciate if you could also make available the very old aros-exec at least statically linked, so that we can access (again!) its immense knowledge base. 4pLaY should have a backup for it as well. Anyway, this is the last priority.

[quote name=magorium post=2264]@magorium - Yeah I noticed AE was down, exactly 2 months and 1 our after the certificate officially expired :( I wish 4play (and family) the best for all that is to come. One thing you could consider if it is not in your wishlist to run two forums is to try and make AE static as linked by o1i on the ae thread. I am biased when it comes to forum software as I favour the sleek and tidy interface and ease of maintainability of SMF. If you really wish to leave it to the community a poll might perhaps be an option ? Oh btw in case you have issues with setting up SMF or want something tested beforehand then feel free to give me a nudge as I can test things out in a VM for you.[/quote] Thanks magorium, I will take your offer to help as soon as I get the files form 4pLaY and start setting things up. As for a decision to keep them, I'll post a poll soon so I can gather what everyone would like.

Hello, If you have requests towards files on AROS-Archives ([url]http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.php?function=home[/url]), like removing of duplicates or not-working packages, please post them in this thread.

There are new updated certificates for Odyssey you can download them from the link you need to rename them [url]https://curl.se/docs/caextract.html[/url]

If you want the development tools during the installation of the system just select the installation of the debugging tools and precisely the development tools then just download the additional package and overwrite it on the folder in sys:

For many years I have been working on this distribution oriented more towards software and the creativity of basic users.

Thanks Magorium, I'll play with the IconEditor on my next port (Lua 5.4.0). For now, I have uploaded OpenTyrian 2.1 with the stack set to 100000 on this web site under downloads. For members only of course ;)

Forgive me as the error mentioned seem permanent, so I do not have preview (and usually make a lot of typo's :P ) [quote name=amigamia post=2069]@amigamia - Bloody stack!! That is what it was. When creating a .info from .png the stack size defaults to 40960 as cavemann stated. I changed it to 10000 and I did not experience the crash. [/quote] It could be that even 10000 is not enough. Some games/programs go over that stacksize a lot later on. In case that happens, simply increase :) Paolone usually has this figured out for most programs that comes with icaros, so in case I'm really clueless I take a peek there... [quote] I did try to install IconEditor but it requires a file RapaGUI.hwp, which I have not been able to locate anywhere. [/quote] Oh, I did not realise that is actually a hollywood program, you can download the package rapagui from here https://www.hollywood-mal.com/download.html The Amiga archive also contains the Aros version. What I do not know if iconeditor was developed using an older version of RapaGui (which could mean incompatibilities). Only one way to find out ;) [quote] @magorium, I will investigate on the error you reported. It is possibly another bug I need to report to the developers. Thanks again.[/quote] No problem and thank you for taking notice (y) I swear, I am not allowed to not have an actual picture for my avatar ..... and I can't decide :P

I did try to install IconEditor but it requires a file RapaGUI.hwp, which I have not been able to locate anywhere. So for the mean time I guess I'll just be using the .png renaming method as it seems to be the easiest. Thank you all for your fast replies and help. @magorium, I will investigate on the error you reported. It is possibly another bug I need to report to the developers. Thanks again.

[quote name=amigamia post=2066]@amigamia - [quote name=magorium post=2065]@magorium - The easiest way possible ? How about that!!! Such a simple step and yet I could not find it anywhere. [/quote] Luckily enough, some things in life are just simple :P [quote] Perhaps I should start creating some basic FAQ in here. [/quote] It is perhaps worth an article, e.g. how to work with icons, including how to work with default (system) icons. It has/is always been my idea to put up some basic workings and/or workarounds related articles with regards to AROS but I never seem able to find enough time to actually do it :( [quote] When I start the program by clicking on the icon, the (game) program starts but then suddenly crashes at random times. [/quote] As already perfectly hinted by cavemann, that is due the stack size. When you create an icon by renaming a png, then all info related information is not (yet) available. You can use the workbench icon selector and editor the icon properties such as stacksize (or in case of a tool-type icon add tooltypes to the icon). [quote] Using the processicon from the link you provided, also works and I have no crash. The only downside is the icon is the default icon and not the appropriate from the .png [/quote] Hmz, I though it was possible to overrule the used image with an option, but I haven't used the tool in a long time, so can't tell from memory. Yeah, the default icon has a default stacksize that is copied along. I have no idea what the default stacksize is these days. It is a common issue thiough, as sometimes things improves with regards to AROS' internals but for those to work properly more stack is used/required ;) [quote] Is there any graphic program that can save images as .info files? Lunapaint perhaps? [/quote] I believe the image-viewer from our friend .... darn, I forgot his name (was it stanislav ?), is able to do such a thing. Didn't user miker@aros-exec created an icon editor for AROS ? That should be able to set the tooltypes etc. of an icon as well. @cavemann: processicon just copies the settings from the default icon by default. In case you wish to overrule that, then you can use option SSS to set the stacksize to another value. It is just as easy to do it manually using the workbench. processicon is however a perfect tool when you wish to do things either automatically or when you want to process a bunch of icons. Oh, I wrongfully mentioned Olivier as the author, but that actually is Dirk Stoecker. Olivier is our friend that actually ported it to AROS. PS @amigamia when i pressed preview on this msg repeatedly when editing I got presented with the following error every time: [code] Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function display_avatar() in /home/rsjzresy/public_html/themes/templates/render_functions.php:125 Stack trace: #0 /home/rsjzresy/public_html/includes/core_functions_include.php(648): render_user_tags(Array, '') #1 [internal function]: {closure}(Array) #2 /home/rsjzresy/public_html/includes/core_functions_include.php(649): preg_replace_callback('#@[-0-9A-Z_\\.]{...', Object(Closure), '<div class='quo...') #3 /home/rsjzresy/public_html/includes/core_functions_include.php(716): fusion_parse_user('<div class='quo...') #4 /home/rsjzresy/public_html/includes/dynamics/assets/preview/preview.ajax.php(44): parse_textarea('<div class='quo...', true, true, false, false, true, true) #5 {main} thrown in /home/rsjzresy/public_html/themes/templates/render_functions.php on line 125 [/code]

Have you tried raising the stack? Open information, the stack is probably at 40960. Raising the stack might help. But it's just a guess, where does Processicon set the stack"? Ps: If you use the command "join" to join 2 png files as an info file, then the image will shift, Amiga style.

[quote name=magorium post=2065]@magorium - The easiest way possible ? Create a png image, rename it to match your executable and you should be good to go. For instance, assume you have an executable named "myfancyprogram" then your info file (png image) should be named "myfancyprogram.info". At least that used to do the trick. In case you wish to create an icon using another format or make other manipulations, then I would recommend using olivier's processicon tool, see http://archives.aros-exec.org/index.php?function=showfile&file=utility/workbench/processicon.i386-aros.zip[/quote] How about that!!!

Hi all, This may sound as a silly question but I have been unable to do this. How do I create a .info icon file and associate it with the executable file? I have been unable to do with the AROS hosted on my Linux.
