  You may wish to alter some of the text in an existing language -- to  
match the terminology used locally, for instance.

  You change strings by changing them in the locale files for the  
desired language(s). To change the US English translation, you will  
need to create a new US English (en_US) locale, as one normally does  
not exist, and modify the translations in that file. See the following  
FAQ entry for information on creating a new locale file.

-To change the translation for a locale, you must first change the  
locale files and then recompile them. Find the appropriate files in  
{{/horde/po/}}, named by the locale name. Edit the translation(s) in  
this file to suite your needs. Then compile the locale files as  
described in your version's {{/horde/po/README}} file. For other  
components, follow the same steps using the {{/HordeComponentName/po}}  
files.

  +++ How do I let users report problems directly from Horde?

  Horde comes with a problem-reporting form. You can control who sees  
it, and what is done with problem reports, by going to the //Problem  
Reporting// tab of the Horde setup interface.

  PHP's safe_mode is not officially supported by Horde, although we  
work around its restrictions wherever we can. Many have tried to use  
it, and have reported various levels of success. To run in safe_mode  
you will need to modify the PHP safe_mode settings. You may also have  
to change some code in Horde or other Horde components in order to  
make things work properly. Some of the known issues are not being able  
to set PHP maximum execution time, problems with spell checking, not  
being able to use Sendmail (without modifying the php safe_mode  
configuration), and problems with any sort of file uploads (adding  
attachments in IMP, file uploads in Gollem, etc).

  If you run the Apache web server with virtual hosts and with PHP's  
safe_mode enabled by default, you can use the Apache PHP module  
configuration command {{php_admin_value}} in your main Apache  
configuration file to remove safe_mode for the Horde virtual host. For  
example:

-With this configuration, it is possible to import private keys, to

-The {{$conf['tmpdir']}} setting must be set to {{/path/to/horde/tmp}}

generate temporary files when you are signing and/or encrypting mails.  
A special configuration is set for the {{smime.php}} file so it can  
run the openssl command to encrypt and decrypt the private key when it  
is imported in the database. To enable the private key import,  
{{/var/tmp}} must be added to the the {{open_basedir}} list (why?).

server (no local sendmail).

  There is no warranty that everything works fine but the most  
important features (like sending, receiving, attaching files, signing,  
encrypting) are working fine.

  +++ How can I pre-configure a portal view for the users?

  You may have noticed within the Horde configuration an option to fix  
certain portal blocks on the Portal screen.  The next question is  
often "how are those blocks to be configured?"  The answer lies within  
the Horde Preferences system.  The Horde preference that controls the  
layout of the portal blocks and their settings is the 'portal_layout'  
preference.  This preference is stored as a serialized array of data  
containing all the information required to display the Portal.   
However this format can be tricky to come up with manually.  The  
easiest way to generate the value is to set up your own portal view as  
you would like your users to experience it.  Once you have done so,  
and saved the setting, the preference will be saved to your configured  
Horde_Prefs backend.  At this point you can either consult the  
Horde_Prefs backend directly (ie. pull the value directly from SQL or  
the Base64 encoded value from LDAP) or you can use Horde's built-in  
PHP Shell, accessible from the "Administration" menu.  To get your  
current preference value, type the following into the PHP Shell text  
box:

  echo $GLOBALS['prefs']->getValue('portal_layout');

  +++ How do I enable shared address books?

  **[Turba 2.1+]:** You can enable shared address book support for a  
source that supports this by adding {{'use_shares' => true}} to the  
source's stanza in {{horde/turba/config/sources.php}}. This allows  
users to create and delete new address books as well as manage  
permissions on the address books that they own. Permissions for shared  
address books should be set through the //My Address Books// interface  
in Turba and **not** through the administration interface. Choose the  
menu item //My Address Books// and then select the address book you  
want to share from the drop down menu in the //Edit Address Book//  
section then click //Edit Permissions//.
