Code Expand / Contract

Three minor known issues:

• A forum user (see Code expand/collapse behaviour) has pointed out that we need a tweak to the client-side javascript to preserve the current focus when doing an expand / contract:

 <a onclick="selectCode(this); return false;" href="#">Select all</a>
 <a class="codebox" onclick="expandCode(this, true); return false;" href="#">Expand view</a>
 <a class="codeboxexp" onclick="expandCode(this, false); return false;" href="#">Collapse view</a>

• The code is not picking up NL context for "SELECT ALL / EXPAND VIEW / COMPRESS VIEW
• For this mode to latch, I need to refresh the style through the ACP.

(Implemented in the 3.0.5 upgrade)

Language Localisation

The out-of-the-box language packs contain some mistranslations, A number of the NL Administrators have posted changes asking me to correct various miswordings in their translations. Also we've had various customisations of the GUI which requires extra localisations.

I did develop a process where the NL administrators could make changes using a test database but this wasn't a success, and proved introduce more problems that it solved. I've gone back to sending out a Calc spreadsheet of the phrases to be translated and asked the NL admins to fill it in. They can also add any from and to pairs that they want to change themselves. Whilst they all seem to struggle with the phpBB Administrator interface, they were all comfortable with calc (remember that is an OOo forum after all).

Language Pack Inconsistencies

Even though the Langauge packs are shared, the corresponding language tables in the forums were brought across from the old databases and are therefore inconsistent. This doesn't impact phpBB at an applications level, but it would make sense to standardise these as a one off. (The only difference should be whether the individual packs are enabled for a given forum.)

Rebaselined all NL packs to the latest 3.0.5 version.
