I think it was a very smart move on your part not to let that guy take over the design. CMS systems like XOOPS are the wave of the future and I think it's funny when designers/developers dismiss them.

The site that the guy made for you could easily have been imported as a XOOPS theme. You can get very creative with themes if you want to. There is no need to keep the standard layout.

Kudos to you for not allowing him to take over your project. Your gut instinct was right to question him.

If you do decide to do a site redesign, this is my advice:
1. Have an artist create the layout for you and send it to you as an image.
2. Find a XOOPS person who knows how to make themes and give the person the picture of the layout. A good theamer will be able to "cut" the picture up and use it to create your theme.

CBB -> newbb_thread.html & database problem

(CBB v3.08)

Hi there, I have a problem with newbb_thread.html. The template has been added to the database. However, when I update the template through the Template Set Manager, it updates in the database, but nothing updates on my site. I even updated the default template directly in the database to see if the default template was being called.

After this, I went to the modules/newbb template directory on my server and modified newbb_thread.html directly. This solved the problem. And now I'm confused. It seems that newbb is calling all of the templates from the database except for this one. Does anyone know why this could have happened? To fix the problem, do I need to update the code in one of the newbb php files?

Okay, I think I just found the problem. In my userinfo.php file, I found that the crash is occuring in the loop that iterates through the modules. Upon closer inspection, I found that the problem occured with a custom module that I created with ModGen. Duh!

Working on a solution now...

Sorry about that. I meant to say that I turned debugging on, but I didn't get any errors back.

Added the cbb code, but with no success. I'm going to go through each module to see if I can find the problem. My guess is that one of the modules is trying to write something into the user profile and there must be a problem. It must be something that only registered users can see...

Hey Tom, I turned debugging off, but for some reason, even the debugger window is blank when it hits the user.php page.

I do get a warning message at the bottom of the blank page:
Line: 3
Char: 2
Error: Object expected
Code: 0
URL:http://mysite.com/userinfo.php?uid=4

Some important tidbits that may help:
-Unregistered users can view other users accounts. However registered users cannot view their own account or other accounts.

-I can view the Edit Your Account, View Your Notifications, and Inbox without any problem.

-I am using XOOPS 2.0.16

-I installed a module called Membership, uninstalled it, and reinstalled it about two weeks ago.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead... Does anyone have a link to the Blank Page topic that works? When I try to look at the XOOPS FAQ, I get a blank page

Actually, I get this error message:
Text Link Ads script error: local_95135.xml does not exist. Please create a blank file named local_95135.xml.

A module to create modules?

I was wondering if this exists...

At work, I use DotNetNuke for our Intranet. There is a nifty module called XMod that lets you create custom modules. (you build the forms than use the forms to populate content). It's amazing! I was wondering if there is anything like that for Xoops?

I should have stated this in my first post, but I'm a newbie to PHP and I need a little help getting up to speed.

Is this the file that I need to be working with:
<xoops_root>\class\mail\phpmailer\class.phpmailer.php

Thanks!
ama

So just to make sure I'm on the right page, I need to enter this in my form's validation javascript?

Thanks much!

A spammer has been testing my contact form in an attempt to send spam through my site to a list of email addresses. Somehow, the guy automatically inserts a CC an BCC into the email message and away the spam goes!

I found an article on the type of attack I'm experiencing, and it says I need to add two lines into my PHP email header. The only problem is that I don't know where this is in my XOOPS structure. Could a XOOPS guru help me out here?

Here is the code I'm supposed to put into my email header:
$_POST['email'] = preg_replace("\r", "", $_POST['email']);
$_POST['email'] = preg_replace("\n", "", $_POST['email']);

Here is the article I read about the attack:
