Hi mercibe,

Sorry for not replying soon to your email. I have been trying to get this script to work on my system. My server administrator needs to configure the php to enable yp. He says it takes time. So, I am still stuck.

My administrator was suggesting if we could use PAM (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/index.html) instead. Is it possible to modify nis.php to use PAM instead? Is the installation process same too?

Please give me some advise, as to whether using PAM is more secure and quick way of authenticating the users.

Also, thanks for taking time to write the NIS script. I definately want to set this up on my site soon.

Best regards

Hi Mercibe,

Extremely grateful to you for working on this issue. I can understand the time and skill required here. I would have given you the testing server address but unfortunately I am working on an intranet. You could send me the script though and I could test it locally.

I would also like to invite any experienced php coders or anyone else who may have successfully implemented NIS authentication with XOOPS to give us some pointers.

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards

Hi Mercibe,

Thanks for your reply. I have looked at the ldap authentication code but can't figure out how to adapt it to NIS. As I mentioned earlier, I am pretty new to php. I would appreciate it very much if you could help me modify the code, since you have successfully implemented the ldap connection.

Also, the purpose I would like to connect to a NIS server is to allow these users to login using their email username and password. Would modifying the authentication script also automatically enable the users to post articles on the forum? Or do I need to modify other files too to enable this?

I need to set this up soon, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Login users using NIS server

Hello,

My email webserver uses NIS(http://www.linux-nis.org/) to store the username and password. I would like to connect to NIS to retrieve the username and password and autologin those users to the XOOPS website. All these users will then have access to all modules and also be able to post in the forums.

Is this possible? If so, what files do I need to edit to do this?

I do not know Php, so I am not sure where to begin. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Well I tried to test the above expression [^xyz.com] on my site, but it gives me "ERROR: Invalid email"
when new users register. It doesn't seem to allow any email address. I put this expression in the
Enter emails that should not be used in user profile in the User Info Settings. Am I correct?

Is there anyone who has used a regex to restrict user to a single domain? Would appreciate some help here.

Thanks

Restrict register new user to one domain

I am using XOOPS v2.0.6 for an intranet. I would like to restrict registration for new user to only one domain address. Ex. @xyz.com. Is it possible to check the email address when a new user registers so that only the mentioned domain name would be accepted?

I know that there is an option to ban email address in the system-preference, but it would be difficult to enter all the email address there. Instead if I could enter only which address to allow registration it would be nice. Can someone suggest how I could do that.

Thanks

I am using the wmpdownloads module to create an electronic library for my files. Currently when I view the files in a category it sorts by title, date, ratings and popularity. I would like to change this to title, published date, Author and Code No.

Do I need to to add new fields? Could someone direct me to which files I will need to change for this and how? I am not familier with Php so don't know where to make the changes.

Appreciate any help.

Thanks

You are right. Posts made to the support forum never gets answered. I find the order in which the events appear in the upcoming events strange. First few links are sorted properly, then the order changes randomly. Can't seem to figure why this happen. Does anyone has this same problem?

Regarding the date problem you can find the solution in the forum

Hope this helps

Spotlight -News block doesn't render the News properly

While using spotlight to display news I see that it shows the tags included in the text as it is. For example it shows tags like [url], [img], [b] etc

Is there something I must change in Spotlight to show the texts properly?

Thanks
