Re: When Xoops 2.2.4 "compled" in downloading ?

It shouldn't NEED any explanation. It is obviously very easy to combine 2.2.3 with the 2.2.4 patch files, but not if you have looked at the XOOPS home page for the first time.

One extra confusing thing is that the download for 2.2.3 doesn't mention "2.2.3a" - but the download for the 2.2.4 patch files says it's the "XOOPS 2.2.3a to 2.2.4 upgrade patch"

Monty, quite frankly this is arrogant nonsense.

Many people designing websites using FREE CMS's are beginners - who want to be able to install one file, and start learning from there. Why not have the patch AND a patched version.

If you don't make it easy you will lose many potential users.

P.S. Perhaps you should make it obvious on the home page that you recommend that people DON'T download the latest version.... (2.2.3/4)

@xephon: we cannot let anybody in a dead-end, so whatever happens there will be a way to update your 2.2.x site if you make one. Now, it just that it will be longer to come, so unless you really need the features of 2.2 and don't care about its problems, it's recommended to stick with the latest 2.0 for the moment.

DON'T YOU THINK THAT LITTLE GEM SHOULD BE ON YOUR FRONT PAGE?

EDIT: I've just checked the front page, on which we are exhorted to "Get the latest XOOPS version!"

My last post must have been so long that the meaning was lost. If you want a simple way to fix the problem (not involving changing server settings) which I think you are suffering from:

1. Make sure the XOOPS_URL constant in mainfile.php is set to WWW.website.com (i.e. not just website.com)

2. Publicise your website with the WWW in the domain name.

3. Take the user login off the 1st page (as stuie200 has done in the site which he links to above).

Now for the waffle...

Point 3 means that even if someone types in the address WITHOUT the WWW, and if your server does not automatically change it to WWW, by the time they reach log-in they will be on a WWW page anyway (becuase XOOPS_URL affects all internal links).

The problem arises because each user session (or whatever its called) is linked only to either the non-WWW OR the WWW version of the site address. If your server doesn't automatically change it to WWW then this causes confusion. Try logging in and looking at a page only a registered user can see. Then change the URL to the same page but without the WWW. It will think that you aren't logged in anymore.

I'm sure the firewall issue is a valid one too, but from the sounds of it would be a less common area of concern. Anyone who had set their firewall to disable referrer information would probably understand the standard XOOPS error page anyway!!

Running cbb 2.32 on XOOPS 2.2.3

The problem that I am having is I cannot seem to find any moderation options.

I've got cbb 2.3 and XOOPS 2.2.3. To make a topic sticky I view the topic (not the list of topics). Then I click on the "Topic options" list, and there's a Sticky option there.

There's another admin thing on the. It took me a while to find it. It's not on the admin side, it is on the user's side too. You can see it
- when you view the list of forums
- when you view a topic
You can't see it
- when you view the list of topics.
It's at the bottom right of the page, and just says "Admin"

Yeah for me it seems to happen randomly. Not using Protector (though will be installing it soon). The forums seem to be a load of beginners answering each other's questions, which I suppose has its advantages. I presume the experts are busy coding the next (hopefully non-buggy) version... which it seems will be out soon.

Under the 'group' field, you can pick Anonymous Users or Webmasters. I only want Rider and Show Organizer to appear.

I'm off to the pub, but you could experiment with this idea. (Delete this post if it's bollox).

In modules/profile/register.php at about line 100:


$value = $newuser->getVar($fieldname);

                    if (is_array($value)) {

                        $values = array();

                        $options = $fields[$i]->getVar('field_options');

                        foreach ($value as $thisvalue) {

                            $values = $options[$thisvalue];

                        }

                        $value = implode(', ', $values);

                    }

                    echo $fields[$i]->getVar('field_title').": ".$value."<br />";

You could try something like


foreach ($value as $thisvalue) {

    if ( ($value!="Anonymous Users") && ($value!="Webmasters") ) {

        $values = $options[$thisvalue];

    }

}

$value = implode(', ',$values);

I've probably got the wrong end of the stick entirely, in which case I'll feel a bit stupid, but what I'm *trying* to do is only add the options to the list if they're neither Webmasters nor Anonymous Users.

Hope this spurs someone on to correct me (& therefore help you) !!!

king76 - thank you very much!

I was trying to fix this last night and only got as far as noticing that newemail needed to be newmail in line 61. It still wasn't sending any emails! I had given it up as a bad job and just removed it from the site.

I don't think the XOOPS site has it either.

You seem to know your onions - do you know how to get newbb forum digest to work? I've asked a few times but no-one can help (again, the XOops site doesn't use it either). If you do, could you start a new thread on it and/or PM me?

THANKS

I've had the same problem and have typed up a (potential) solution here:
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=45943&start=0#forumpost202503

Hope it helps.

P.S. This might sound a bit rude (sorry), but there are loads of threads about this subject so perhaps we could all reply to the one linked to above?
