Dolphin 7 Orca Forum Brackets:

 

Get rid of those [[Forum]] Brackets in Orca Forum for Dolphin 7 by Compiling Language.

After installing the Dolphin 7 Orca Forum Module you will notice [[ ]] (Brackets). Like Dolphin 6.1x you will need to compile the language file. If you are familiar with Dolphin 6.1.x then you will probably be familiar with this. It is the same concept just a slightly different process and location.

If you are not familiar with Compiling the Orca Language, it is a relatively simple process that only takes a few moments.

First you will need to install the Orca Forum Module from the Modules Menu. From your Dolphin 7 Admin Panel find the "Tools" and then "Modules" Menu.


Admin Modules

 

 

Scroll down until you find the "Orca Forum" module. Simply check the box to select it, then click on the "Install" button.


Install Orca Forum Module

 

 


Now at the top of the page you can see the results in "Operation Results".

If you click on the little "Plus" (+) you can see more details of the installation. You should see some green text saying it was Done successful.

Now if you click on the "Modules" Menu link you will notice it says something like _bx_forum. It should say "Orca Forum" so we need to compile Orca Language.


So click on the "Modules" "_bx_forum" menu link to go to the "Orca Forum Administration" Area.


Orca Administration

 

 


You should now be on a page/screen like the following. In order to "Compile" Orca Language you need to click the [L[Compile Lang:]]en link as pictured here:


Compile Orca Language

 

 


Then a message box will pop up and tell you "[L[Language files have been successfully compiled]]".


Successfuly Compiled Message

 

 


Now if you go back to your Dolphin 7 Admin Panel in the "Modules" Menu you will now see that it says "Orca Forum" instead of "_bx_forum". Click on "Orca Forum" to verify that the Orca Administration displays correct.

Now you can see all the Orca Forum Administration links are actually displaying like they are supposed to.

That's it pretty fast and simple!

If you do not compile the "Orca Forum Language" you will see those [[Text]] brackets in various places in you forum. Not only in your Administration area, but in the general main page of your forum that everyone can see including your guests.

So don't forget to compile your Orca Language if you see these [[Brackets]] all over your forum.
