Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

On this page you can find some of the most frequently asked questions about pluck, and the answers to that questions.

When I manually insert some (X)HTML-elements in a page, they are not saved. Why's that?

A: This is because of TinyMCE, the word processor-like editor that pluck uses to edit pages. TinyMCE works by default with the Default Ruleset, which deletes some (not much used) items out of the code (like javascripts and iframes). You can solve most of the problems by using the XHTML Compatibility Mode. In pluck 4.5 or newer, you can enable it in options ⇒ general settings.


I'm using Hebrew language, but my website shows up weird. What's going on?

A: Pluck uses a little script to convert all normal themes to rtl (right-to-left) themes. This script is very clever and will convert 99% of the themes successfully. However, sometimes themes are just not build for rtl-support, and despite the successful conversion, they will not show up the way they should. If you think you can fix the error yourself, you can take a look in the themedirectory (data/themes/*themename*), where you can find the rtl CSS-file (it's named style-rtl.css).

But my website doesn't even show up right with the default theme! Why's that?

A: That's actually not a problem with pluck. We can confirm that the default theme is converted to rtl 100% correct. However, some browsers just can't display the website right. Internet Explorer for example, will display the site weird. Firefox, Opera, Konqueror and Safari have been reported to render the site right.

Where can I download more modules or themes for pluck?

A: At the moment, there is no website for pluck where you can download new modules or themes. We are however planning to release such a website in the future. On that website, everyone will be able to share their themes and modules.


My site contains a link: "powered by pluck". How can I buy a license to remove this link?

A: A license? Not needed! Pluck, licensed under the GPL, is completely open source! This means that anyone may make whatever changes to the source code, and afterwards may also redistribute it, all for free. Commercial redistribution is also allowed. The GPL however clearly states that copyright notices may not be removed. So the link at the bottom of your administration center must stay intact. We'd like to have some credit for our work.
If you remove the "powered by" link, we'd appreciate it very much if you would make a donation. Pluck is free for everyone, but not for us: think of the monthly bandwidth-costs we have to pay, for example. Thanks in advance!
