Actually, I was referring to MS ACCESS, the database. MyODBC allows you to use another database such as ACCESS as the front end API to connect to MySQL, the backend database.

There's another possibility:

Use MyODBC

Your IT partners can use ACCESS to connect to the MySQL database via ODBC. This way you can continue to use MySQL/XOOPS as designed by the devs, and your IT people can populate/modify the data using the familiar ACCESS API.

oops, looks like DonXoop beat me to the punch

Re: Is there a User Registration Template somewhere?

The easiest way to set a default timezone and avatar at registration is go into your MySQL database ("Users" table) using phpMyAdmin or some other MySQL management program, and set those defaults.

For example, change the default value in the "user_avatar" field to "youravatar.gif" (your avatar image file name) and then make sure you have that image file in your uploads folder. Change the default value in the "timezone_offset" field to -5.0 or +2.0 or whatever you want the offset to be.

Then, whenever someone registers, those default values will automatically get inserted into that users record.

Sorry, my #2 suggestion above applies to changing things in the "Edit Profile" form.

To edit the "Register Now" form, go to include/registerform.php and change the text box settings for the fields you want to change. The first number is the text box width you want to change, the second number is the maximum text length allowed for that field - which should be the same as that field setting in its MySQL table.

For example, to change the email box width, at approx line 40 in include/registerform.php:


$email_text = new XoopsFormText("", "email", 25, 60, $email);

change the number 25 to whatever you want (leave the 60 alone!) and that's the new width (in pixels.)

Also how can I make the textarea box not as wide?

1.) you can modify the drop-down timezone text in language/english/timezone.php
Here, you can also remove any timezone options you don't want to show

2.) change the <td width=50%> to something different in the system template: system_userinfo.html
You can play with the width settings that seem to produce the best visual results

Hope this helps

Security issue: should all files/folders be writeable?

After successfully installing XOOPS, deleting the install folder and then chmod mainfile.php unwriteable, what should the read/write permissions be for all the other files/folders? Should everything be writeable (other than mainfile.php) and are there any significant security concerns with "incorrect" file/folder permissions?

Assume most current versions of Unix/Apache/PHP/MySQL on the server.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks, regen_r8!

I'll try it, too, and report back if any problems.

Activity has died down, and I never published a version for 2.0.5, but I will if you are interested.

Thanks, I would be very interested in an updated version of your hack. Please email me if you post it on your website or post it here as a download. Thanks for your help.

Next, create symlink between the user directory and the directory where XOOPS core files are uploaded

ln -s /var/html/www /home/homehome/public_html/xoops

Pardon my ignorance, but in the context of XOOPS, how does one create a symlink between two different directories?

Hi Catzwolf,
Thanks for all your hard work on WF-Section. I've used it in the past and think it's a nice embellishment to the standard sections module.

Ok, am I wasting my time with this version of WF-Section and should I just move straight to a XOOPS V2?

I think that most XOOPS users have the intention of moving to X2 whenever possible, particularly when many things (like v1.3.* themes) will soon be deprecated. Unfortunately, it also seems that most v1.3.8 modules need considerable tweaking in order to work properly in X2, particularly to incorporate smarty templates. I can't speak for others, but I would be much more interested in an X2 version of WF-Section - partly so I can learn what changes to make on some of the other modules in order to get them to work with X2. Thanks again!
