Css for eweather

[datahell]

Elxis Team is not responsible for any third party module or component. Elxis team is even no responsible for the Elxis CMS itself although we have make a bug-less and very secure system and we provide support for free via this forum. This is the meaning of the Open Source license (GNU/GPL), you take it "as is". Sirigos speaks for his own. His opinion does not reflect the Elxis Core Team ideas although he is not wrong. But this is a matter of an other conversation ( Open Source is free as a speach, not as a beer. )

Cytherea and Gaia templates have a known problem with the right column height. It can be fixed by modyfing their CSS. I don't know eWeather, I have never see it installed and I have never either looked at it's code. I would suggest you to use an other template and not the templates that comes with Elxis (these are sample templates / examples in order to build your own). If there is something I can help regarding the functionality of Elxis or even eWeather please let me know. If it is a matter of apearence just edit the CSS files. If you don't know how to edit a CSS, use another one or call a friend/professional for help.

although he is not wrong.

Should i start selling ready templates in low price through posts from your web site now?  I don't think so.....

You can leave a message/link to your online shop if you wish for anyone wishes to buy templates. This is acceptable. Of course you can not make this forum your store. You have not understand the idea of the open source. What is open source?

An open source project, in summary, is something that is provided included the source code. The end user can modify freely the source code and re-publish it if he wishes. (Of course there are many varies). This does NOT meen that open source is priceless. You can not sell the software itself (GNU/GPL) but you can sell the distribution, support etc. Do you know that there is at least one site that sells Mambo? (they charge the distribution). Yes, the normal mambo with nothing special. It is absolutely legal.

A binary file (.exe) is not open source even if it is free (of cost). Why? Because the source code is not provided with the software. Firefox is an open source browser, not because it is free (of cost) but because you can download the binary file but the source code too. (Firefox is not GNU/GPL).

A component encoded with ion-cube is not open source because the source code is not provided.
Hot property is not free, but the source code is provided with the component. This does not mean that Hot Property is open source. Hot property has a different license (commercial) so, even if they give you the source code you are not allowed to modify or re-distribute it.

Here are the Open Source license:
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/

Here is Elxis license (GNU/GPL):
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html

Open source is a bussiness model and a general idea, not a license. Licenses are GNU/GPL, GNU/LGPL, Commercial, PHP license, Apache license etc. This is the way things work and this is valid for Elxis, Mambo, Joomla, Drupal, and many-many other GNU/GPL projects.

With reference to previous postings


Well, to start with, I’d like to apologize for being away while something I had said caused annoyance. I was at  the University Hospital of Giannena about a 1st degree relative’s health problem.

In relation to what has been said I would like to say to a_xenias that it is Elxis that is Open Source not any professional assistance relating to it. To make this clearer, let me give you an example of a very common “Open source” provision:

Any creature’s life is Open Source, because you pay nothing to get it and its code is open to anyone as long as they can read it.
When something goes wrong you go to the doctor to get it fixed because he can “read” this code for you, and of course you have to pay, because this service goes beyond what  is offered free of charge.

If you don’t disagree with this logic, which is in line with the Elxis license, why do you condemn, and in such a harsh way by that matter, a proposal of professional assistance from a certain point on?

Personally, I have helped a number of members of the forum with problems they faced free of charge and I did it either because that’s what felt right, or because I had the time to spare working out the solution, or because the solution was already known to me, or, or, or … . However, from a certain point on, assistance involves professional troubleshooting, which for some people is a job, and it is a matter of choice to make use of their services or not.

As for Elxis Core Team, I would like to thank you, and in particular I would like to thank datahell for dealing with an issue that I should have addressed myself.

Elxis FAN,

I'm not the one who is ill, it is a very close relative of mine. But thank you for your response, anyway.

Now I am back again.
