I was wondering if the comment editor worked with original posts or just when people comment on a post.


I did try to go to the demo site to check it out but when I tried to sign up in order to check it out the mailer keeps kicking up and error so I don't get the email to confirm my email address. Below is the error.


OW Debug - ExceptionMessage:Could not instantiate mail function.File:/home/ubuntu/sites/demo/ow_libraries/vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.phpLine:1451Trace:#0 /home/ubuntu/sites/demo/ow_libraries/vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php(1323): PHPMailer->mailSend('Date: Mon, 27 J...', 'This is a multi...') #1 /home/ubuntu/sites/demo/ow_libraries/vendor/phpmailer/phpmailer/class.phpmailer.php(1201): PHPMailer->postSend() #2 /home/ubuntu/sites/demo/ow_system_plugins/base/bol/mail_service.php(272): PHPMailer->send() #3 /home/ubuntu/sites/demo/ow_core/mailer.php(97): BOL_MailService->send(Object(BASE_CLASS_Mail)) #4 /home/ubuntu/sites/demo/ow_system_plugins/base/bol/email_verify_service.php(230): OW_Mailer->send(Object(BASE_CLASS_Mail)) #5 /home/ubuntu/sites/demo/ow_system_plugins/base/bol/email_verify_service.php(258): BOL_EmailVerifyService->sendVerificationMail('user', Array) #6 /home/ubuntu/sites/demo/ow_system_plugins/base/controllers/email_verify.php(110): BOL_EmailVerifyService->sendUserVerificationMail(Object(BOL_User)) #7 [internal function]: BASE_CTRL_EmailVerify->index(Array) #8 /home/ubuntu/sites/demo/ow_core/request_handler.php(276): ReflectionMethod->invokeArgs(Object(BASE_CTRL_EmailVerify), Array) #9 /home/ubuntu/sites/demo/ow_core/request_handler.php(252): OW_RequestHandler->processControllerAction(Object(ReflectionMethod), Object(BASE_CTRL_EmailVerify)) #10 /home/ubuntu/sites/demo/ow_core/application.php(364): OW_RequestHandler->dispatch() #11 /home/ubuntu/sites/demo/index.php(76): OW_Application->handleRequest() #12 {main}Type:phpmailerException

looks like either they have turned off the mail process on the demo for spam issues or the mail server is offline.  


are you refering to the oxwall demo or your demo.  


also which comment editor are you referring to, is this a plugin your talking about.

the only thing i can think of is that maybe that might be a demo for the amazon AWS setup to test oxwall on AWS but again i have never seen that before.

The only thing I wanted to checkout was if the comment editor worked on the posts and comments both or just the comments.
dave Leader
dave Jun 27 '16
ok please be more specific, can you show me a screen shot or explain exactly where your talking about and i can test it for you.  ie  Comments where, on the main page, forum, where ??

OK now i understand, well that you will need to ask the developer directly.  You can post a request on the plugin page and start a conversation there if you like.   I am sorry i wish i had a better answer.

No problem the plugin does deal with an issue that should have been in the core of the program from the beginning...It is human nature to make mistakes and what I find funny though is in the Blog and forum sections you can edit if you make a mistake.  
dave Leader
dave Jun 27 '16
This is one reason why i do not agree with developers of the core or employees of the company offering plugins for sale in the store, because i feel it creates a conflict of interest. So now if they fix that issue in the core a employee of the company no longer can sell their plugin and it gives an incentive to not add it to the core.   


But then again Oxwall is a software which is pretty much build on plugins.    I dont have an issue with them selling themes because its not a direct conflict but i do have issue with them selling plugins.  But then again its not my company, i just volunteer here lol.. 


Maybe one day it will be added.

If I would have been smart back in 1986 when I started playing with computers and learned how to repair and build them...I should have also gotten into the programming aspect of it also I do understand and know a little php and mysql and mssql but I have yet to actually sit down and teach myself the rest that is involved.

If i would have been smart i would have invested in Microsoft when it was pennies per share lol... My kids give me hell over that all the time.  DAD you were around before the internet and you did not invest in it or MS at all...  "no son i didnt" oh well...

I feel sorry for the poor guy that Bill Gates bought the original program from for only $2500.00. Then Bill Gates inserted MS-DOS into it and presented to IBM.

I kept an old IBM with win3 on it up until about 8 years ago, still loved playing the old DOS games.  But i had to toss it all in the dumpster when i moved one time, no room for it.  Oh the old days of DOS floppy disks and dialup lol...

Remember the old 8" Floppy disks then 5 1/4 then 3 1/2...Now it is flash drives

 No such thing as plug n play motherboards either jumper pins and dip switches

dave Leader
dave Jun 27 '16
yes i remember those, if the 5 1/4 did not work when you put it in, you took it out and turned it by hand then tried it again lol....
