I shifted my site to xoops, 4 days back and used following two modules.

news
Today when i opened my site it was suspended and I got an email from the hosts (cacana.com) saying.

Your account is suspended because of overloading server

You need to find a mechanism to prevent allowing so many processes running

You can also visit our term of use that limits the allowed share of resources for each virtual account 10% : http://canaca.com/contract.html

Thanks

Can some one guide me how can i get rid of makepdf.php

Thanks for any sort of help

just delete the smarty tag from the templates and then the pdf.php file itself

Thanks Suico for your timely response. Can you brief me a bit more in this regards as I am a beginner to XOOPS and modules infact.

You could also try at SmartFactory site = smartfactory.ca

You can also find several of the developers at http://www.XOOPSInfo.com

See this post for removing the icons under an article.

For the PDF icon comment these lines out (lines 53-540):


After removing the icon you can remove the file makepdf.php.

Just an extra note.
I came across the same problem last week when my hosting notify me of server cpu overload due to my forum.

You may get the same problem if you try to move your forum (with out 5 page span) topic into another different topic.

It can easily overload the CPU somehow. (for my current hosting that is)

Thanks a lot, a lot, a lot McDonald.......xoopsfactory was demanding dollars from another users for removing these 3 lines..........Thanks again

Don't think so. This must be some kind of misunderstanding somewhere.
A lot of information is found in the forum of SmartFactory, and you need some guts to experiment a little with the code provided by a module.
