Re: Repeated module incompatibility with xoops upgrades

Mazarin, "I'll have what you are having!"

Please list all the modules that you use and their versions so that new users can know for a FACT that those modules are working with the latest xoops; and just so you know, it that very list that is posted on this site that I usually choose my modules from...

I have done everything that they have instructed me to do. They say upgrade, I upgrade. They say use this module instead, I do. They say change this in the code, I do it. Why is it happening to me and not you, that is for the creator of xoops to answer not me!

kerkyra
Have you ever seen the case where there is a popular night club and it is constantly closing and reopening; they change the decor, the staff, the DJ, sometimes the location and even the name but somehow nothing changes; sure enough within a few months it closes and reopen. Then one day you go down that street and the night club is now a successful booming restaurant...

This is not about modules and developers there is something deeper that needs to be addressed here; THEY need to figure out what it is that they are doing or not doing that is creating the same complaints over and over and over again EVEN WITH all the new changes they are putting into place.

If they do not figure out what is they are doing or not doing FROM THE TOP then xoops will continue to be run as it is right now and I guarantee, WE will see no changes on our end and xoops will become a thing of the past.

... and kerkyra I'm a SHE not a HE; I take it that was a typo

Re: Repeated module incompatibility with xoops upgrades

redheadedrod it is my understanding that when a software is updated you are supposed to do the update as they often address security issues that are important to correct.

It is not the responsibility of ANY user to do the kind of testing that you are recommend; I think that is absurd! It is the responsibility of xoops to ensure that the new version works with the modules they use on their OWN site as well as the modules they RECOMMEND, BEFORE releasing it publicly.

Why do they have mods that are no longer being updated and/or that are not compatible in THEIR download section. Does it not make sense to remove them and only have available the mods that do work and that they will be maintaining?!?!

The only testing we users should be doing is checking to see if a module we found ELSEWHERE (1) conflicts with xoops, (2) conflicts with our other xoops recommended modules, (3) does it do what I want, is it user friendly etc.

I could swallow this is this was something new but the FACT is, this has been happening since I began using xoops; 2008/1/17. I use other open source software and I can tell you, they are a joy!

As far as this being "Similar to when a new computer operating system comes out you don't want to jump right on it. It takes a little while for other things to catch up."

That is why you have Microsoft and then, you have Apple; an apple a day keeps the doctor away; xoops gives me nothing but headaches!

"...they should work with 2.4.5 and likely with 2.5 and hopefully 3.0 without much issue." I rest my case!

Re: Repeated module incompatibility with xoops upgrades

You are asking me what version as if I am here reporting a module problem; take a look at the postings received on this site after each and every update; I am referring to all versions including the present 2.4.5.

Repeated module incompatibility with xoops upgrades

Hi guys I really hate to complain however I am really beginning to get frustrated with using xoops; Each and every time there is an updated xoops version there seems to be problems with some of the mods.

Far too much of my time is being wasted on (1) coming to the xoops forum searching for solutions...again, (2) spending hours and days googling in hopes of finding solutions to xoops errors becasue no reasonable solution was found on the xoops forum, (3) trying to find replacement modules becasue clearly no one is planning on updating the module for whatever reason, (4) then, trying to find the updated version of the replacement modules, (4) then, I have to try and figure out how to import all my old data into the new mod or once more I have to start all over!

For every single update you have issued I have had problems. I then get to your site and I see all the member postings from those facing the same dilemma. Yes most of the time support is posted to these problems however do you really think it is fair that we should through this for every single update!?!?!

You now have a new update and I am terrified to install it because I already know I will have to go through all of the above mentioned...again! Please do something to correct this issue.

Respectfully
Terry

Re: How do I prevent different IPs loggin in to one account

If IP blocking isn't the way to go, then at minimum, for example...
Right now I'm logged in to xoops so technically, no one should be able to log in with my details WHILE I'm still logged in here; the system should automatically block the second log in attempt and ban the user. So I am understanding that this is what Protector does? If not, what does?

You hit it on the nail Katz! I ain't got time to be watching IP addresses; I need an automated response unit to terminate and destroy the offenders LOL. Right now I have the voluntary donation box and I am seriously thinking of making it a paid membership and so need to implement certain security features that I see on other sites.

Re: Can I Merge User Accounts

Oh Lord! Thanks Katz. I didn't try it as yet. I'll just leave it alone for now.

What I need wordpress has it. If I delete a user in wordpress it will ask, "who do you wish to assign the posts to." Then I delete the user and all their postings are automatically transfered to the user I selected.

It would be nice to have this implemented in future updates of xoops.

Re: How do I prevent different IPs loggin in to one account

Hey Catz,
Since the upgrade I no longer have the protector errors (above).

The problem I am having with protector is that I know nothing about that stuff so Red-Slider sending me the link, although you are trying to help, really just adds to my confusion.

When I read what it does, I don't understand the terminology

DoS - what is dos? To me that is early programming code.
- Bad Crawlers (like bots collecting e-mails...) - this I get
- SQL Injection - ???
- XSS (not all though) - ???
- System globals pollution - ???
- Session hi-jacking - I think this is what I need but I really don't know what that is. All I know about session is that sometimes my site logs me out and gives me a session error. Or if I take too long to create a post I will get a session error.

RedSlider is this protector diff from the version that comes with 2.4.4? Should I be using this one instead or should I try what MadDan suggested.

You guys will have to tell me exactly what file to edit and exactly where in the file to put the code.

Thanks
