Ok, I found out myself how to change that, even if I don't like much to go editing the files on the server (if there is an upgrade someday, you can loose all the changes).

I did that editing this file:
/modules/newbb/include/forumform.inc.php

and changing this line (n.149):
$cols = 60;

Changing that value to 45 did the job.

Hi all, when I go into the forum (newbb2), and try to write a new post, the form is too large and the site layout get messed up.

I decided to go to templates and change the width of the textarea, but there is no way to do it.

I checked also in the css, it is not set in the .css file, but directly in the html:



The total width of the XOOPS layout is 850 pixels, fixed width.

The problem is that I have left blocks on the left column, and right blocks on the right column, and when I go to post a new topic on the forum, the form is larger than the available width on the center column.

So I need to change it and make it smaller, how it is possible to do it?

Thanks in advance for any useful suggestion.

So I need to change it in the template area or editing files on the module dir. I need to make "cols=40" instead of 60.

Sorry, I wanted to say the template shown when the address is newtopic.php, in other words when you go in forum and press "new topic" and you obtain the form where you write the post.

Thanks, I'll check it, but I can't show you cause it is now in local pc, not on line. Anyway the problem is that I have left boxes and right boxes, and the new post form is larger than the available width on the center part of xoops.

Hi all, when I go into a forum (on my site), and try to write a new post, the form is too large and the site layout get messed up, I decided to go to templates and change the width of the textarea, but there is no newtopic.php template to modify, it is possible? Do I have to edit some file in the module directory or it can be done in the template settings?

Thanks in advance for any useful suggestion.

I can't believe I spent half day getting mad after that block, and it wasn't the right one, even if it is directly linked to from the block edit page

Now I was able to change it. Thank you very much!

JAVesey: yes I had it "on".

stefan88: thanks for the suggestions, i deleted the files in template_c but no result, the other are too complicated solutions, I would just like to change the template and make it work.

I like XOOPS very much but sometimes you get lost in such stupid things that you never imagine they couldn't work.

Thank you guys for suggestions

Hi all,

I am trying to edit news_block_top.html to fix some visualization problem.

As admin I go to blocks > edit > edit template.

When I add or change something there, and then I go to the home page > reload > view source, nothing changed.

Even if I delete part of the code I still see it from the html in the home page, but as same time I see my modification on the template file, very strange.

As information: I cloned the template set and I set the new one as default on the preferences.

How can that be possible?

Thanks in advance for any useful suggestion.

Hi all, I would like to say something IMHO important about XOOPS maintaining and upgrading.

I have different sites running since some years, they are visited and the communities are active, but happened that my sites were hacked more times (even keeping the codes upgraded).

Each time I had to fix everything and search blindly on the web for other similar problems, take 1 by 1 each module and go to different home pages (many times not existing anymore) not being able to have a clear image of the situation, searching here and there, loosing time etc.

Would be nice and very useful to have a clear/simple section, on this XOOPS website, similar to this one:http://secunia.com/search/?search=xoops with a complete list of the known vulnerabilities, sorted by module name, and where to download bug fixes or patches.

Right now my site has been hacked another time by turkish hacker, it was updated to the last version, with Protector installed, they messed up completely the forum, ecal calendar module and wf-section, also (i don't know how they did) many permissions on the web hosting were messed up.

But I have several other modules installed, but I have no idea where to go or check if I still have vulnerabilities on my sites.

Is it possible to create and maintain a detailed section of the known bugs and vulnerabilities of the various modules? Without going to search to 100 places with half of the expired or not existing...

What do you think about that?

PS: Sorry for my not good english.
