ForumPostAssistant / FPA

The Forum Post Assistant (FPA) script has been developed to assist Joomla!® forum posters to be able to post relevant system, instance, PHP and troubleshooting information directly in to a pre-formatted forum post. This will save a few hours of posting back and forth, asking for, and explaining how to acquire useful information in order for other forum users to help troubleshoot a problem.

To do: create LICENSE.md #85

Not sure how to do this. I looked around at other LICENSE.md files with other J! projects and it seems that everyone just quotes the GNU GPL.

GNU GPL.txt

RussW commented 4 years ago

Is this done now? The LICENSE.txt in the documentation folder was updated to the latest GNU GPL v2, with their new address and other updates regarding libraries etc.

sozzled commented 4 years ago

I haven't done anything more than offer a suggestion (to create a new file in the repo) as I did in the opening post in this discussion. I don't know how to add/change files in the repo.

RussW commented 4 years ago

As mentioned, the current location (Documentation/" where we hold the Licensing Information has been updated, as per your file/request. Not sure we have a need to put it in the "/" folder as well.

sozzled commented 4 years ago

OK. I won't flog this: normally the licensing stuff would be located in the root folder (that's where I would expect to find it) just like the README (unless there's a separate README for the doco.) It's probably a case of personal preference: I might do it differently to you and vice-versa. Others can offer their views for one place or the other. Thanks.

Thanks. (LICENSE or LICENSE.md)?

sozzled commented 4 years ago

Sorry for re-opening the issue. Please look at LICENSE (or LICENSE.md or whatever it's called). cf picture below:

fpaUseGPL3 0

RussW commented 4 years ago

nope, decided to stay inline with Joomla! license at GNU GPL 2, June 1991

sozzled commented 4 years ago

The source code refers to GPL v3. I thought you may want to keep everything in step?

RussW commented 4 years ago

we will, in due course... these things take time (you could always provide a PR to assist with maintenance)

everything will be GNU GPL 2, June 1991

sozzled commented 4 years ago

If I knew how to write a PR I would provide you with a PR. I don't know how to do that.

When I have a month of Sundays to read that then we'll see what I can do. Sorry but I just don't have the time to learn this yet.

RussW commented 4 years ago

We will look forward to your future Github knowledge development and continued support and contributions... Until then we will have to muddle along without your PR's or commit's...

sozzled commented 4 years ago

Huh? I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "we will have to muddle along without" my help (in whatever form it takes). Is that what you mean?

I can only contribute what I can contribute. Do you mean that I have to learn Git before I may be useful? :disappointed:
