2) php.ini is on your server, outside of XOOPS. You need to have Server Admin access to make changes there. Most ISP don't give access to it, but you can check with them directly

Note that with cpanel here, I can set the php version, and for the version I can also set options and extensions. If I select some extensions, then I cannot select others, ie I cannot select all options.

I dont know whether php.ini can be via options and extensions. Also could there be the possibility of a local php.ini file. Sometimes with computer systems, you have an initialisation file, but then you can have a local initialisation file which overrides the global one. ie where there could be 2 php.ini's, one of the server, and one of the user account.

Here is a list of the options followed by a list of the extensions, I would upload a snapshot, but I am not sure about the copyright rules for snapshots of cpanel, whether I can do that under fair usage?

You can then extract the files to "/?????/modules/xoopspoll" folder, and install it from Admin

ok, have done this now and installed it. The current xoops install is for experimenting with,
so I will try later on some polls with imaginary users and see how it fares.

could you give the full path to php.ini for any specific setup you have access to where it is accessible?

that way I can see if I can get to any similar path with the setup here.

3) Just to make clear: the files from inside of

/???/modules/newbb/EXTRA/themes/xbootstrap

go inside of the folder:

/????/themes/xbootstrap

After you copied the /xbootstrap folder to /themes, you need to either update the System module, or the NewBB module, so XOOPS can update the cache.

I have updated both and it is now functioning correctly!

You can also go to Admin/Maintenance and clear the cache there.

Yet another option is to switch to another theme. You should activate the Themes block first, as described here, and then go to the front-end of the Website and select the XSwatch or Xswatch4 theme, if available.

I didnt understand that link, but by clicking "blocks" I was able I think to activate themes.
When you say front-end of the website, do you mean after I login with the administrator
userid + password?

I havent found Xswatch or Xswatch4 yet.

4) TCPDF: I'm not sure why it is not working. I'll do some tests on our server, and let you know if I find anything

even after updating the system module, I still get the same message.

There seems to be currently conflict with the XoopsPoll module. Once it's fixed I'll let you know, but in the meantime you can help to test it, by copying from: https://github.com/XoopsModules25x/xoopspoll

do you mean the following link from there:

https://github.com/XoopsModules25x/xoopspoll/releases/tag/1.40-Final

and if so, presumably I would rename xoopspoll-1.40-Final to xoopspoll
?

where would php.ini be?
the path to newbb at the server account is:

/home/?????/public_html/DirectEmails/wgm/xoops/modules/newbb

where ????? is my userid,
what path potentially would php.ini be?

I have done that, so the path you give then exists, but I still get the message

I tried updating the system cache, logged out, logged back in, and modules/forum/index
still gives that message.

You can also add this line:

"tecnickcom/tcpdf":"6.*"
to the "composer.json" file located in "/class/libraries/", so it looks like this: ...

but /class/libraries/ doesnt have composer.json, but just has composer.dist.json
should I modify that file? or rename it and then modify it?

It will overwrite the files there.

I copied YOURSITE/modules/newbb/EXTRA/themes/xbootstrap/
to YOURSITE/themes/xbootstrap/

but the constants are still showing,
eg I have a test message, namely:
http://directemails.info/wgm/xoops/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2

where you will see things like _MD_POSTEDON and _MD_BROWSING 1 _MD_ANONYMOUS_USERS

I feel that ought to be "posted on" and "browsing: 1 anonymous user(s)",

some further troubleshooting necessary!

is there a specific file I can check to verify that I copied to the correct path?

Hi, I have a second question,

I am not editting the previous post in case you read that before I editted, ie to avoid confusion.

With various URLs of the forum, I see what appear to be "constants",
eg a screenshot:

http://www.directemails.info/wgm/constants.png

with that, there is eg:
---------------------------------------------
_MD_MAINFORUMOPT
_MD_TOTALTOPICSC 3
_MD_TOTALPOSTSC 3
_MD_USERS_ONLINE 1
_MD_BROWSING_FORUM
-----------------------------------------
I presume those items _MD_?????? are constants, and if so, was wondering how to set them!

I have one initial question,

with the forum index it has the message:

---------------------------------------------------
Module preferences
Xoops Poll Module: is not available.
ImageMagicK: is not available.
NetPBM: is not available.
GD library: Autodetected: 2.2.5
Maximum Upload each file : Attention! Value 'memory_limit' to PHP.INI less than 'post_max_size'
If you want to use the PDF creation function, use instruction.
---------------------------------------------------

are there any remedial actions I should take, and if so, how to do this?

many thanks
