A bit about Xortify!

Xortify was developed in response to attacks on websites from rouge malicious bots, spam and captcha sweatshop, spam slavery as well as other forms of abuse of our clients systems. We have been able to stop close to 99% of spam and captcha attacks with the Xortify client. Believe it or not Xoritfy is also in response to human rights abuse on the web, such as captcha and spam sweat shops where individuals are paid less than 1 USD a day to set up accounts for bots to spam website by typing past captcha puzzles as well as sometimes they are even slaves.

Originally Xortify started out as a demo of the API X-JSON, X-CURL and X-SOAP for XOOPS 2 series and became a revolution in security for the XOOPS Platform. XOOPS comes with an application called Protector which prevents hacks and attacks to users of XOOPS and maintains a local ban list. This ban list is known as a bad IP that is an IP Address which has attacked by trying to cause for example a DOS (Denial of Service/F5 Attack), ingested unions and other forms of attack which protector by GIJOE from PEAK XOOPS - Support&Experiment in japan works on to prevent mal-users and would be hackers from exploiting the people that love xoops and other platforms. Xortify will syndicate your BadIP list with other peoples using Xortify so this cloud of protection forms in your system.

Xortify is an application or process which first started as a practial application to cloud computing for the XOOPS Community which shares protectors bad IPs with a contingent of end users of the Xortify application and one you have signed up ensures that members share their bad ips in IPv4 or IPv6 for the host or proxy with each other so that we are protected from each others website forensically with protector. Here at http://xortify.com the main Node in the Xortify Cloud we host the current Bad IP List for the community so your website with the Xortify client running is pre-aware of a bad user and announces to them on all pages that they are banned unless the ban is cleared with one of our forms.

Special thanks goes to our previous sponsors for helping the world of spam - remember the code is stamped open source, so once you have a xortify.com site hosted with you; for you your xortify.xxx.xx is up to you... All you need to do is takeover account user one, and then goto the xortify server module and sign-up to the peering system for multinoded. We would like to start up some form of peers.labs.coop that is use to dial you to your closest peer in the IP Geographics to the services.

I'm trying to use Document Management System but receive the following error when clicking on file Options after uploading a file.

Fatal error: Call to undefined function import_request_variables() in /home/site.tld/modules/dms/file_options.php on line 36

Line 36: import_request_variables("P","post_");

I've tried to research and all I can find is that this is deprecated code and won't work with PHP5. Is that correct? If so, how can I update the code so that I can continue to use DMS? Everything else is working well - just can't set Options on files or folders. If it isn't deprecated code, what could it be? Please help!

Hello Mamba and Rodney,

Thank you very much! With the help of u, I'll have a better choice!

Note: I received the new post notification in my email, I think I really havent seen the previous.

As far as I know there are no current backup utilities for Xoops that will do this easily out of the box for you.

This will solely depend on your provider. They should have backup utilities that will do this for you. If you are not aware of backup strategies there are two major ones.

Incremental and full. Each has its strengths and weaknesses.

Full will be a bigger file but each time you backup you have a full backup of your system. With today's cheap storage I would suggest this for all website backups.

Incremental would entail you doing a full backup once and then every so often do another backup of JUST the changed files. This should result in a smaller file but if you lose any of the incremental backup files or they become corrupt you lose anything from that incremental backup afterwards. It is suggested that even if you do use incremental backups that you start over occasionally so you don't lose information.

If you are not aware of what a CRON file is, CRON runs every minute and will look at the cron file to see what commands need to be run. Hoping that xoops 2.6 supports a cron type file within xoops but normally the CRON system is totally dependent on your host company.

Depending on your hosting company you may set up a task in the CRON that automatically does a backup for you and either emails it to you or emails you that it is ready to be downloaded.

MOST hosting companies I have seen do not want you to store your backups online since they have their own backups of your system and it becomes redundant and wastes server space.

So it all depends on what you want to do. You CAN manually backup your stuff using an FTP program and a database dump but your hosting company SHOULD have a backup solution for you that should be much easier to deal with. If they don't you should look at another hosting company. But If it isn't obvious from their interface then contact them for a backup solution you feel comfortable with.

If you are self hosting this then there are MANY options available to you. A simple TAR command run in a cron would do wonders... (TAR after all was designed originally as a backup program to backup data to tape...)

Hum ... strange ...

after a pair of unsuccessfully try , I decidet to do "tabula rasa" and restart.

A website with a fresh xoops 2.5.6 release and a second one with 2.5.7.1 .... once installed everything ( core and modules only in english under a friend suggestion ) I imported the whole old DB with the 3.08 version of forum DB.

In both cases all runs perfectly. Also modules just not "modern" ....

Could be this the secret? Some languages problems ?

If you have access to Cron on your Website, then you can specify manually which folders your want to backup and how often, and Cron will take care of it.

Did it help?

Hello,

sorry for the delay in responding. I had selected to receive notification from the forum by e-mail, but dont know if I didnt receive or didnt see…
Thank you for helping!

To my knowledge, the best image format for internet currently is JPEG as Mamba said. PNG is a very good format when u will need to do some editing on the image and do not want to lose the quality of it!

But my doubt is not about the image format. I think I expressed myself badly ....

To avoid loss of information of our sites, in case of any unexpected problem, it is advisable to make backups often, right? So, if we let a lot of images stored in the same directory of the entire site structure, we have a big problem to make these backups.
I wonder, how best to host the images on my site so that I can make backups of images and the rest of the site separately?

The solution (in most cases) is to delete the appropiate cached template from xoops_data/caches/smarty_cache. IN some cases, even when cache is diabled, Smarty creates a cache for some templates (I have not investigate why, but does it)

Fixed the problem by installing Altsys Module and editing directly the templates from the module itself.

Download Altsys here: http://xoops.peak.ne.jp/md/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=76&easiestml_lang=xlang%3Aen

I do not understand why someone would use a responsive theme to make it static?

What you are trying to do is possible but please not with the xBootstrap theme!
