I am back from France, TDL 2009 in Soissons and i am very glad to announce you that Tellmatic took part in the 5th Trophees-Du-Libre free software development awards 2009.

Leider schneidet Tellmatic dabei nicht ganz so gut ab.
Folgendes Schreiben habe ich an die Redaktion geschickt zur Richtigstellung des Tests meiner Software:

Thiago A.C. published an update for the portuguese translation file (pt-br   ) in the Tellmatic Patch-Tracker at SourceForge.
To install just download the file from here or here and safe it on your harddisk.
Unzip the package (tellmatic-pt.zip) and copy the extracted file (tellmatic-pt.po) to the directory called 'locale' in your Tellmatic installation folder (e.g. via FTP). Make a backup of the original file before, and overwrite the old file with the new one.
all Credits goes to Thiago! :) Thanks a lot!

I just solved the IE (MS Internetexplorer) Bug. It was simple but i had to dig into the HTML Code and Trial'n Error around a lot to solve this. Using an old crappy IE5 in W2K running in VMWare.
So, to fix the IE Problem in Tellmatic 1.0.8.4 please edit the file "Main.inc.php" located in the "include" directory in your Tellmatic installation. Users with FTP should first download the file or maybe right click->edit file is enough. Open the file with your favorite texteditor.
Scroll down to Line 170
change:
"toggleSlide('toggle_main_info','main_info',0);".
to:
"//toggleSlide('toggle_main_info','main_info',0);".
(add // after ")
now scroll down to line 184 and insert a new line:
toggleSlide("toggle_main_info","main_info",0);
Thats it! This should fix the IE Problem....., YES, it is only one line i moved in the resulting HTML Code.... weird!
