Hi,
I would like to use the news module as default but without showing the 'modules/news/' line on the url.

For example:
My if my site is "http://mydomain.com" it defaults to "http://mydomain.com/modules/news" but I want it to be just the plain "http://mydomain.com" (like xoops.org home page, for example.

How do I accomplish this? I tried several ways even using spotlight (which does not work well with XOOPS 2.0.9...

I really need the news module to be the front page.

Thanks for any responses.

Does the owner of the database have all the rights to the database?

One can still backup the database. Backup the database and then reinstall the old database again when you create the new database without the tables.

For example, to back up the old database I run:

mysqldump --opt -u xoopsuser -p xoopsdatabasename > /where/you/want/to/backup/backup.sql

To restore the database do:

mysql -u xoopsuser -p xoopsdatabasename < /where/you/have/the/file/backup.sql

This is assuming you have a xoopsuser that has all priviledges and password to the XOOPS database in this case I named it xoopsdatabasename.

Never run a database as root for security reasons. Above, "xoopsuser" owns the XOOPS database. You can give it any name.

Once you have the database saved, you can start from scratch on any system and restore your old databases. I run linux and all this apply to this system. I never tried XOOPS with windows.

The version file was there allright, but the I checked the permissions and they were 600.

Here is where the problem was as far as I can see:
When I uploaded "/news" to the module directory, the directories in this module had the permissions set to 700 and the files contained in them to 600. I changed the permisisons to 755 for the directories (I am always referring to the "News 1.2.1" module in this post) and 644 for the single files and the module worked. I am thinking about changing them back to 600 and have 'chown www-data' (running debian) to be owned by the webserver. Hopefully this will work also. i like the improvements in this module. Very good.

"News 1.2.1 module". This is the newest module and I cannot upgrade to it. For one thing, when substituting the module to the "/modules" directory and attempting to upgrade through the admin page, the icon is not present on the page. It says "Module file for news Module Not found! (twice). The upgrade script...I don't know. I cannot make it work, it is probbaly something to do with permissions but my webserver has permissions over those directories. But I believe using this script is not necessary if I am able to upgrade through the main Admin page.

I am running XOOPS with the latest version except, the news module. So the news module for version 2.0.7.3 works fine (1.1), but not with News 1.2.1 (or 1.2).

I would like to know is anybody found a problem like this and how it was solved.

I want to take advantage of News 1.2.1(especially the columns attribute so I can have 2 or 3 columns)

Never mind...It seems it was a problem with how MySQL handled XOOPS while running debian sid (this maybe not true, is just a suspicion). I installed XOOPS on debian woody and now is good.

Thanks for the great job!

I am having the hardest time setting newBB to show the icons when posting a message. What I get is either "x" instead of the image or nothing (depending on the operating system).
I am talking about all the icons I can see now using the XOOPS site when posting this message.

I wonder if there is a setting I missed.

Greetings,

When posting a message (new topic) I have some problems.
I am talking about the icons I can see right now when I'm posting this message. I can see the "Message icon" icons, below that the chain icon, the email icon, the image icon, the manager, etc. I also can see the Bold icon the italic etc. However, on my forum the only icon I can see is an "X". That is, no image.

Does anybody know what I did wrong?

Thanks
