XOOPS Info Module and Script
Date 2005/10/16 3:50:00 | Topic: Modules
| Objective
To provide a streamlined method for XOOPS users to gather information about their XOOPS and server configuration while providing a basic overview of how to request support at xoops.org
Description
Basic module and script for displaying XOOPS, Apache, MySQL, and PHP information.
Scope
The module and script provide the following information:
Website URL
XOOPS Version
Theme you are using
Template Set you are using
PHP Version
Full PHP Configuration
MySQL Version
Server Software
Browser Information
Usage
Module:
The module is designed to be a useful tool in administering your XOOPS site. The information provided will assist in determining whether or not certain modules will work with your configuration. It will also prove useful when debugging, or if you have any problems with XOOPS or a third-party module.
Script:
The script shares the same functionality as the module except it is designed to be used if you cannot access the admin section of your website (i.e.: White Screen of Death [WSOD]).
Installation
Module:
1. Upload the modxoopsinfo directory into your /modules/ directory.
2. Install the module like any other module in Modules Administration.
3. Use the navigation links for the module to view each page.
4. Follow the directions on the "Getting Help" page if you need any help.
Script:
1. Upload the xoopsinfo directory into the directory where XOOPS is installed.
(i.e.: the directory where mainfile.php is)
2. Open your web browser and navigate tohttp://yoursite.com/xoopsinfo/xoopsinfo.php
(Replace yoursite.com with URL where XOOPS is installed.)
3. Follow the directions on the page.
Limitations
The xoopsinfo script is only usable if your site is "turned on". If your site was turned off prior to receiving the WSOD, you will need to modify your database configuration so that your site is "turned on". If you are able to log in and access your Administration Control Panel, then the xoopsinfo module will work fine regardless of whether or not your site is turned on or off.
Turn your site on using phpMyAdmin
Locate the table "xoops_config" in phpMyAdmin
Locate the row "_MD_AM_CLOSESITE" in the "xoops_config" table.
Set the "conf_value" for "_MD_AM_CLOSESITE" to 0
Note: replace "xoops" with the prefix you used when installing XOOPS
To Do
Add additional features as needed/requested
Further define module text in language/main.php
Translate to as many languages as possible (volunteers needed!)
Convert the modxoopsinfo module to a system block and submit for inclusion into the XOOPS Core
Comments:
The module and script have been tested and confirmed to work with XOOPS 2.0.13.1 and 2.2.x.
