Re: "This is your first time to enter the administration section." loop SOLUTION

What's really strange about this is that it worked without any problems for nearly a day after my changes. I have to assume that something that I changed caused this state. I've never had issues with firewall, http_referrers, Firefox, etc in the last year.

What changed in XOOPS to bring this fatal error into play?

-----

Some more data: When logging in this morning, it accepted my webmaster name and password and said logging in. I found myself NOT logged in and back at the anonymous user view of the site. I tried twice and then logged in with a test user with normal privileges. That user worked. I logged out and now I can login as webmaster. But I still have the first time admin section loop....

Ok, now this is affecting my site too.

Any ideas? If backing up database and reinstalling doesn't fix, this is baaaaaaaad news.

Everything worked until this evening when a remote admin got the error. Now it's affecting me too.

Things I've done on the site recently:

1) Updated Protector from x.x.4 to x.x.7 revision from GIJoe's website last night. Seemed to go without a hitch.

2) Updated News from RC2 to release version last night. Seemed to go without a hitch.

3) I had changed access for Registered Users group to have no access to anything at all today. (We had created a new group and this one was not being used any longer so I wanted to cut off any access just in case there were some people missed in the transition).

4) I upgraded to Firefox 1.01 this last week.

5) I ran the Windows disk defragmenter yesterday.

I've tried all the suggestions from this thread to no avail.

Should I panic yet?

Ahhhhhhh!

That makes much more sense to me. I was unsure how to go about changing the prefix. Please correct me if wrong, but as I read above Protector will create a complete COPY of your site's database using the new prefix you enter. Then you just change the mainfile.php to point to the new prefix.

That's just too simple. The instructions could use a little reworking though to make them crystal clear. Perhaps something like the following?

1) To change your XOOPS prefix, enter new prefix in the COPY box below.

2) Press COPY button.  This creates an exact copy of your site's database.

3) Edit your mainfile.php to reflect the new prefix that you just created.

4) You may now safely delete the old xoops_ prefixed tables if you wish.  They will no longer be used.

Yep, working as intended.

If you'd like spaces, you can use the [cod e]blahblah[/cod e] structure. This is what most people use to keep the code they post to forums indented properly.

Or use underscores.

Or if html is active you can place a table.

Or if you can see a bunch of spaces here then you can use the ASCII code ALT-032 to put a hard space into your typing.

They are in your style.css in your theme directory.

To find out what classes are being used on what, I recommend using Mozilla Firefox as your browser with the WebDeveloper extension available from here:

http://www.chrispederick.com/work/firefox/webdeveloper/

Install. Click Information. Choose Display Class & ID Information.

I don't know diddly squat about css, but this little plugin told me what to change to make my site look juuuuuuust right.

It must be Christmas week. Another modification that I needed that appeared as if on cue. I'll be playing with this over the next week or three and will let you know my experiences. Seems my main site just split into two projects so this will allow them to function as seperate entities with common access to the things the two projects have in common.

I'll report back about mid-month (or sooner if life permits).

Re: Best blog and wiki module for xoops?

I recently installed dokuwiki and have found it simple and fast for both setup and everyday use. See the recent discussions about it here in the forums for more info.

I haven't found a complete blog solution. One possibility I've seen recommended is setting up the news module to meet your needs.

Excellent!

That setting was the one I thought could be the culprit for localized installations. Might be good to note that in the install notes.

Oh, two more things.

When I first had the ACL problem I edited the dokuwiki configuration php file and turned ACL back off again. I then logged into my site and I could see everything just as I could before. This was a good sign for me as I knew all was not lost.

I do not have the search functionality added in yet. I'm taking things step-by-step right now and don't have much time for debugging and testing with multiple group levels. I wanted to make sure that groups that did not have dokuwiki access did not get dokuwiki results in their searches. I'm pretty sure all will work and the searches won't turn up hidden material but a bit of healthy paranoia is sometimes a good thing.

I had a similiar thing happen at first too. I had installed previously without the admin-only change noted in the guide.

-----

This is what I did on my installation which got me working:

1) In one of the first files you edit there is a line with something like "* webmaster" in it. Check to see if your administrative group is webmaster or webmasters and ensure this matches.

2) Did you refresh the dokuwiki install in the admin menu? Mine kept hanging up without completing. As this isn't a native XOOPS mod, I wasn't sure if that was correct.

3) Due to that non-completion, I decided to start fresh again. I uninstalled the module via the XOOPS admin menu. Cleared my webbrowser cache. Then reinstalled the module. I now had a dokuwiki icon on the left side of the admin screen which allowed me to add new groups/pages to the ACL. All worked 100% after this.

I have a feeling that if I had deactivated/uninstalled the module, done the changes and then reinstalled it would have worked without a hitch.
