Re: New online journal: Succulentopi@ (in French)

It worked for me, but I uploaded the PDF I had on my local hard drive instead of giving the address of the PDF online.
So you have to download it first locally, then upload it to the translation tool.

Re: Updated photo galery

Do we need an FC ID to contribute? I did not understand what was this "FC ID", until I read the automatic translation :) FC was CF, which is the shortcut for Cactus Francophone. It is not mandatory to have a member ID, just tell us what we should put for the copyright: usually your name a...

Re: The search facility

If I am correct, the French cactus forum (cactuspro) uses a plant names dictionary. Perhaps the moderators here should contact Yann Cochard (webmaster cactuspro) to see how he resolved this exactly. Hi all, You are right Pieter, we did it on cactuspro.com :) Actually, Olivier made it. Its a set of ...
