What exactly do you mean by 'has been hacked'?

If I'm having problems, I usually do an 'update' of the module which compiles the new templates. If that fails, I delete the files from templates_c, then immediately do a 'update' of the module again. This has always worked for me. I think this will only work though if you are using the 'default' template set...

Depending how you choose to implement, there in general can be *both* languages on the same page. I guess you could add some FONT declaration surrounding text of a particular language that is picked out by the text sanitizer, similar to a post that was made in a different thread about add 'left-to-right' or 'right-to-left' declarations around certain language text.

I don't know much about fonts and how browsers deal with them... so I don't really understand what you mean by different font sets. Normally I use UTF-8 character set, choose the font 'times' or 'helvetica' or whatever and use bold/italic and my browser (IE 6) seems to render characters for non-english languages that look appropriate according to these settings.

Try searching the forums for 'marquee'... there have been a couple of threads/hacks describing how to do this...

I may have overlooked but where can I select to turn on (or off) HTML in news or forum messages?

My apologies for the confusion. Catz is right. There is no way to enable this for other users, but admin users have the ability to enable/disable HTML for a particular post. All posts should be reviewed carefully before allowing this option, and you should check to make sure nobody accidentally has admin access.

With XOOPS you (currently) cannot control which tags are displayed. If you enable HTML, ALL tags can be displayed. Much more serious things can be done to your site than just this simple annoying 'script' that this user did.

I would suggest turn OFF html for forum posts. Allow bb-code if you want users to have control over their text. BB-code is a relatively safe alternative. If you *did* only have bb code enabled, let us know...

For the news, you might *need* to enable html to achieve certain control... if that is the case, you should only give access to trusted 'editors' or 'moderators' for approving articles. Any time you give access to HTML you should only give access to trusted people.

Hmmm, can you post or PM the "source text" for one of those messages, then we can see explicitly how to prevent it. Do you allow HTML in your posts? Is this happening because someone is 'submitting' news, or are they actually posting 'approved' articles? Can you further restrict who is posting news?

This page cannot be displayed due to an internal error.If you are the administrator of this site, please visit the XOOPS Troubleshooting Page forassistance.Warning [PHP]: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket'/var/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in file class/database/mysqldatabase.php line 74Error [Xoops]: Unable to connect to database in file class/database/databasefactory.php line 34

I guess the easiest way is to find the text in class/errorhandler.php which says "This page cannot be displayed..." and change it to what you want. Also turn off debugging in preferences to get rid of the Warning messages etc. If you want to do this ONLY for database errors, this is a little trickier, but you can check through the error messages (in the error handler) and see if any contains the string "mysql_connect"... if so, display your desired text/html and if not, leave it as is.

There is also an non-compliant output when a XoopsFormHidden
is used.
A XoopsFormHidden within a XoopsForm is outputted without
the <tr> <td> environment.

I don't think input elements (e.g. hidden) are required to be inside anything (other than the form) in XHTML 1.0 transitional. This is what XOOPS strives to support right now. In stricter XHTML all form inputs are required to be within a block-level element (but not necessarily a table row, it could simply be a 'div').

Can you describe in more detail the symptoms... on a quick visit I cannot see anything wrong.

Does it happen for both anonymous and registered users? I've noticed a problem on xoops.org where if I log in and jump to a *long* thread (i.e. many posts) from a notification PM, I get only the first 'page' of results. No links to the other pages in the thread. If I click on 'Flat' then I get the same page but with the numbers of the additional pages. Could this be the same problem you are having?
