Re: Install Script : Reinstall Xoops code but previous database exists

Thank Dave_L -

That did the trick... I think ... well something worked.

I read the post then refreshed my problem page/xoops site without changing anything & it worked.

It must be the positive chi from the XOOPS Community.


Thanks again.

Install Script : Reinstall Xoops code but previous database exists

Would someone/Could someone please give me a pointer in the right direction?

Due to some system problems, my XOOPS code was whacked but my data tables remained intact.

Sooo...I installed the XOOPS code again but can't remember what else have to do after I finished editing mainfile.php. (I actually let the install script do that for me. I know that there are 1-2 more easy things but I can't recall.

The very nice install script works up to the point where it encounters that the table already exist. (green, green, ..., red)

Thank you for any suggestions you can provide.

Cheers,

Re: How to put news on index page

If I understand your question correctly (I hope), all you should have to do is permit "anonymous users" access to the news "block".

Go to "System Admin." module
Click on "Groups"
Click on "edit" link for "Anonymous Users"
Look in the "Block Access Rights" section
Select "Recent Topics" or "Recent News" box (whichever is appropriate)

At least, that is what I have done.

What surprises me is that I replied to your question before the dozens of XoopGods! They answer these types of questions at fiberoptic speeds.
<Frankly speaking, the XOOPS community is quite good in this respect>

I hope my answer is mostly correct or at least helps you find your solution.

Cheers,

Re: Is Xoops section 508 compliant?

Wow ... excellent question ... This is a worthy & noble pursuit. Section 508 is a new term to me (although I admit, I should have known, I knew it as ADA compliance which is not accurate). Not a new concept or the goal, but certainly a new term. In my previous experience at a very large computer & software manufacturer, as you (Mithrandir) said, these types of presentation modes needed to be handled by very refined themes, templates, styles, embedded scripts, etc. Not hard, just work like anything else.

But I honestly can't remember *any* off-the-shelf products which handles this requirement handily.

Probably worthy of a XOOPS Wiki page or future FAQ?

Thank you for your help.

Yup...I hit the source while you both were writing your answers and successfully made the changes.

After saving the changes to the file,
Go to Adminstration Menu, Module Admin, Click on SysAdmin update icon to recompile the template and store into the database. View and celebrate the results of your work. What could be more fun than that.

Re: Reordering the User Menu items? How? (easy question)

Perhaps, this question is not as easy as I originally thought. While using the blocks' weight attribute to position themselves relatives to one another within a region (left, right, center-right, etc..), there doesn't appear to be a way (that I can find) to handily reorder the menu items with a block such as User Menu.

...More later...

Re: Trouble with Headlines on Top Page

Howdy Josh -

Goto Administration Page
Click System Admin on the left
Go to the "Blocks Adminstration" page
Click on the Headlines item "edit" action/link

In the "Edit a block" page :
Select "Top Page" <Visible In>
Position your headlines block <Block Type>
Click on "Submit" to save your changes

<it is a little subtle...I keep missing it too>

Best of Luck & Hope this note helps,

Reordering the User Menu items? How? (easy question)

Dear Xooperati --

I just can't remember (or find) how to change the order of the menu items in the User Menu block.

<total brain cramp...total putz mode...but I did find plenty of entries asking about how to add custom menu items to the main menu, I did this once already but the How? just slipped my mind....duh... It does not seem to be in the FAQ or Wiki...at least, I couldn't find it>

Apologies in Advance & Thanks in Advance,
