hi mamba.

did i mention that i don't know what i'm doing?

i finally found some reference to turning debug on. i opened phpadmin and froze in terror. the instructions didn't make sense to me b4 i opened that. i feel so intimidated by all of this. please...how do i turn on the debug?

hi burning, what do you mean? tree folder for what? i need to do something to the xoops_version.php file?

i'm sorry for being so confused. i'm fine once things make sense to me.

i'm trying to install it and it won't show up in the module manager.

i noticed that the .htaccess file was zipped so i unzipped it and no change.

i followed the suggestion on the download page to rename the module directory 'tadgallery' (the directory is the folder that the module files are all in???) no change.

i also downloaded a fresh copy and uploaded it. no change.

any ideas?

ghia thank u. i swear i came here yesterday and cleaned up my old messages.

thanks for the reminder...i had a eureka moment in the middle of the night and forgot all about it by morning...

there is an index manager in my control panel. according to what i read simply changing the setting to 'no indexing' will prevent people from reading my directory regardless, as you said.

so i left the response half written and went to deal with that. everything seems to be in order now and what used to turn up a directory listing now says "no access". :)

also, what do you mean about dev and production? THANKS

yet again, i found an easier way. while stumbling around the blocks administration i discovered i could simply create a custom block with some text in it and voila!

i don't know if this is the best or even a good way to do this, but i'm proud of myself.

:)

hi again,

i installed content 0.5 because i want a static home page, and it's working fine.

i need to add a disclaimer to the download page and was hoping to use the same module, as multiple page instances is one of the features. i can't figure out how to get my content to show on the download page.

check it out...the site is coming along...

to be honest, it's not really solved. i still don't know how to do this: however, i have chosen to go with the global nav bar instead, as the site is very simple and doesn't require extensive menus.

thanks so much!

very. muddy that is. :)

thanks so much for helping me change the button text. that was much easier than i thought it would be considering i have been trying to solve it for about 5 days now.

soooo.......

can u help me with the link to the index too???

when i click on my new 'downloads' button it doesn't take me to the index of the module like this:http://entertainmenttoronto.platinumj.ca/modules/xsnif/index.php

it opens the directory of the module like this:
http://entertainmenttoronto.platinumj.ca/modules/xsnif

where and how do i fix this??? i am using a subdomain and i believe that is the reason why....

regarding language, you have raised another question that i wasn't even thinking to ask! lol! i will save it for after...one thing at a time...

ok thanks. i'm not really having any problems with broken stuff...just stuff i don't know and can't find by searching.

xoops 2.4.4. all the modules/blocks (i'm still a little confused as to what is attached where) need the button text changed. i haven't done anything to them as yet so they arent broken, but i'm about to take care of that. lmao.

i've settled on xoops snif for file downloads and rather than have the button in the main menu say 'Xoops snif' i want it to simply say 'Downloads'. i think i figured out where to change the button text, i just don't know how.

if i go to blocks/main menu/edit/content/edit template, i can see this code for the main menu but what do i do to it to make the button text change??

<table cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td id="mainmenu">
<a class="menuTop" href="<{$xoops_url}>/"><{$block.lang_home}></a>
<!-- start module menu loop -->
<{foreach item=module from=$block.modules}>
<a class="menuMain" href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/<{$module.directory}>/" title="<{$module.name}>"><{$module.name}></a>
<{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}>
<a class="menuSub" href="<{$sublink.url}>" title="<{$sublink.name}>"><{$sublink.name}></a>
<{/foreach}>
<{/foreach}>
<!-- end module menu loop -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>




since i am using a sub-domain my links don't work and need to be edited. when i click the main menu button for xsniff it doesn't open the index page for the module, it opens the directory. not good. where do i change this?

please feel free to try this if i haven't explained myself properly.

thanks again,

i realized i left a trail of unsolved messages behind me in my panicked state of mind so i'm just cleaning up my mess.
