Thank you again. Hopefully this will be the last time I shoot myself in the foot ...

Hi from a redfaced Hakim

I deleted three tables from my sql database, misunderstanding a previous advice:

xoops_tplfile
xoops_tplset
xoops_tplsource

No, I didn't back them up despite being told to, arrogant fool that I am.

I would like to recreate these but need to know the structure of the tables to do that.

Or am I better off to reinstall as punishment for my stupidity?

Thank you sailjapan

Have downloaded news and an alpha of publisher. Will see if news can do what I want. Or maybe that should be see if I can work out how to drive it properly! :)

Thank you for you help.
Hakim

Thank you culex. Much appreciated

I have followed your instructions and all is now well.

I must confess I don't find much joy in the module repository. There is very little there that says it is compatible with the current version.

I know this is not your 'fault' and wonder if there is a better place to look for current modules?

With many thanks
Hakim

Thanks guys

It was initially installed in the configuration that culex describes as wrong. That was the first thing I changed and it made no difference.

There were no instructions and a closer look at the module description says it is for XOOPS 2.0.x
Maybe that is why it doesn't work?

Oh well. What I really want to do now is get rid of it but the uninstal doesn't work.

Trying to set up my first site with 2.3.3

Have installed module mutimenu and it is there though not configured.

Have failed in my attempt to install message1.2. Unzipped and copied to server in modules directory. Have run install but end up with:

Module data inserted successfully. Module ID: 9
Setting group rights...
Added admin access right for Group ID 1
Added user access right for Group ID: 1

Module installed successfully.
Back to Module Administration page

AND at the top of the page:

Module File for MODDIR Not Found!Module File for Not Found!Module File for Not Found!Module File for Not Found!Module File for Not Found!Module File

BUT

the module is not installed. There is a tick next to the module but above the empty name of the message is:
"Module File for Not Found!"

I now have two entries for the program and an attempt to uninstall one results in a white screen.

Turning debug on results in:

Fatal error: Call to a member function getInfo() on a non-object in /home/oer49237/public_html/Hustings/modules/system/admin/modulesadmin/main.php on line 207

Any idea what is going on here?

All is clear now! Thank you guys. Yesterday I had installed a module called Articles 2.51 and it mentioned Koivi, as did Culex above. I have just gone through the admin options for everything after reading your post about Koivi being part of XOOPS and finally found it as an option in Articles setup.

I will check out the other programs you recommend. Again, thank you.

Hakim

Where is Koivi available from? Can't find it on this site nor on sourceforge. A couple of pages of a google search did not help either.

Thanks culex. With news 1.63 am I able to have serial pages? Like in a book where you turn the pages by clicking on a link?

Koivi will be installed!

Hi from a raw beginner.

Have installed XOOPS successfully and am scratching my head as to which modules to install.

What I want to do is write stories on a page with a graphic on one side and text on another and have clickable links to either the next page of the story or to a page of comments or references. And some time soon I want to include an option for the reader to select different ways of navigating through the story, in effect creating their own story based on their selections.

How can I do this in XOOPS?

Any recommendations for a WYSIWYG editor?

With thanks,
Hakim
