I have the same problem.

Did anyone find a solution to this? I should imagine many other people are accruing a large private messages table as a result of notifications.

I need to purge it a.s.a.p.

[EDIT] O.k. I found another thread on the subject with a script written by Chau Moua to delete old PM's:

Thanks Chau.

Hi,

I'm trying to backup my database and there's at least one table that is causing a problem:

xoops_priv_msgs

...it's 35.3mb in size and won't export. Is there a way I can clean up the data in the table and reduce it in size?

Also, I'm thinking of moving the site to another server with a 2mb limit on sql queries. Is there a way I can batch automate a backup of a bunch of tables in 2mb chunks?

Thanks.

I've been charged with building a portal for a bunch of people dotted around the globe for which I've spent some time building in the functionality requested. It turns out that the people contributing to the site have are not at all experienced in using Portals or CMS's in general for that matter and have totally rejected the current setup (I was only informed about this recently).

The deadline is fast approaching and I've got to pull something out of the bag quick (hence the reason for this post). I need to set XOOPS up with all the requested functionality + a unified & ultra-simple way of adding content to the various sections with attachments. Here's the structure:

Home - static intoductory content about the group & a list of recent articles (across all sections).

Events Calendar - Usual stuff here BUT with the ability to upload and attach a file to an event

News style section A - for logging articles in a blog style with file upload & attach functionality.

News style section B - for logging articles in a blog style with file upload & attach functionality.

Static information page - static content with images.

Members list - list of members (with custom fields) + upload photo & attached CV.doc.

partners list - pretty straight forward.

forums - ...same.

Contact us - a contact form with an option to choose who it's going to (3 options).


They need to be able to add/edit/delete content to all these sections/modules without coming into contact with any other options/functionality (pretty much). It needs to be as simple as possible, they couldn't get on with change of interface across the modules and various other menus & options they came into contact with. It needs to appear unified and concise above all.

ANY IDEAS!?

Is this really the best we have to offer?

I currently use XCGallery but I have to say that most users find it less than intuitive. We have trouble getting our users to interact with it as they seem to consistantly have have issues with the navigation and functionality.

Has anyone had any good experiences with other modules?

Hi,

I've got an install of 2.2.2 along with WF-Section 2.01. When in the admin section and trying to create a new article in WF-Section I get a page that is missing the theme template (all I get is module code), but only in IE. I've tested this in Firefox and Opera and they both don't display this problem.

Any ideas? Could this be javascript related?

I'm really surprised that this is not a standard feature, and that there aren't more people requesting it.

I too am interested in this.

I want anonymous users to be able to access a list of members limited to few details like name and avatar etc. Registered users will be able to access a list of containing a link to full profiles.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

I was referring mainly to the "quick menu" in the left column which uses css to control the hover state. I'd much prefer to fix NewBB2 rather than change to another forum module.

I've had some more feedback from the users regarding the problems with newbb2.

I think the first issue with the 300-400 objects might have something to do with the background image of the drop-down menu?

I'd appreciate it greatly if any of the XOOPS community could take a look again and see if they can produce errors in IE and/or suggest some fixes. I've turned off png hack and I'm now going to try swapping the form for koivi.
