heres an english date and time script...

Quote:

<SCRIPT>document.write(Date()+"")</SCRIPT>


as for the themes... do the other theme files even contain theme info? usually the 2 'extra' themes are just for specific css items that need to be different for those browsers....

if your not using anything too 'browser dependent' in your themes, you don't really need them.

Do some research on css and check the various declarations for compliance in the various browsers and os's

Happy Xoopsing!

are you using image magik or gd2 for the image conversion?

The settings for those options in the module admin area will determin what the thumbs look like.

Don't know about the error....but do know that xcGallery generates lots of errors depending on the sensativity of error reporting in PHP (even though everything is working)

Which version of XOOPS are you using?

I'd report this to the bug tracker....as it appears to be a 'bug'.

The SQL code you used to update all the records, was just the PM link...nothing else.

Are you able to add one of the new users to the admin group? Maybe make a new account, add it to the admin group and examine the two entries for consistency.

If they are the same, and one is able to do what the other is not, then there was a problem somewhere in the upgrade.

Just out of curiosity...you are updating the system module and deleting all of the chache/templates_c files too, yes? (sometimes I forget the basic things, which is why I ask)

It seems apparent at this point that the groups page is not interacting correctly with the user settings in the DB.

Well...you'll need to set up a web server and minimally have MySQL and PHP installed on it...
IIS is a popular web server app...and there are windows and apache flavors

here's a link to a how to set one up site:
http://www.webmasterstop.com/cid_11.html

As for migrating the site....check the FAQ's for specifics, but you just need to dump your database, and copy that over to the new server...and then edit your mainfile.php to reflect the new servers information for root path, and database info.

Hopefully you have good 'upload' speed on your DSL connection, as your site will be slower than molasses in the winter on the standard 128k up rate most DSL providers offer (approximately twice as fast as a 56k modem, spread out amongst ALL of your users)

FYI: Good upload speeds can be purchased, but are costly. I pay close to $60/month on top of the regular monthly fee for guaranteed 512k minimum, and a max of 'up to' 1.5Mbps

I was wonder if it be possable, to have a extra menu under the "main menu". I wanna add a page that will load up with the theme and give me a display of the users , the status of those users, and all the other information the good TeamSpeak Blocks do.


open xoops_version.php in the teamspeak mod folder, and look for this:
Quote:

// Admin things
$modversion['hasMain'] = 1;
$modversion['hasAdmin'] = 1;
$modversion['adminmenu'] = "admin/menu.php";


Add these lines to it:

Quote:

// Admin things
$modversion['hasMain'] = 1;
$modversion['sub'][1]['name'] = _MI_SUBMENU;
$modversion['sub'][1]['url'] =
"yourfile.php";
$modversion['hasAdmin'] = 1;
$modversion['adminmenu'] = "admin/menu.php";


open language/english/global.php
and add this line to it

Quote:

define("_MI_SUBMENU","What you want the sub menu item to be called");


then create a new php file that contains the information that you want to add and save it to the teamspeak module folder with the same name that you define in the blue section of added code above.

That ought to do it....

think thats the way its supposed to work.
my thoughts on that are:
admins usually 'approve' news articles submitted to the site by regular users, and they would be the ones to activate the extended text.
Due to the 'methodology' used for programming that scenario, the edit functions and all else fit into the same category.
Nowadays it seems that MANY of the people using XOOPS are creating 'seudo admins' that are contributing to the sites in many ways and administering select functions within it (the ideal web community), however, these people are not always known well enough to be trusted with complete control of the module or the site.

Hopefully future development of the core and the new module structure that goes with it will allow for selective admin privelidges on all of the forms used in the module (we're seeing that with the new customizable user registration form).

So it seems only logical...to me any way...that the next progression of that will be to be able to assign access to specific areas of the modules admin functions. (Imagine each module having group perms and settings like the XOOPS core does, so each new module you install can be customized almost as much to the full extent of the XOOPS core, without affecting the core)

Anyway, the best part about it is that the code for the XOOPS cms is pretty straight forward and workarounds can be done without too much aggravation!

Anytime!

(I've been known to 'inflate' the view counts of posts like that to get more 'activity' on a site...of course it resets itself when you sync the forums...but hey, it does what I need it to!)

you could try running the upgrade script again....

Quote:

Enable PHP debug
Go to your administration area => system module => preferences => general settings and enable PHP debug
Run pre-upgrade script
After uploading all files in the patch archive, access www.example.com/xoopsupdate.php, replacing www.example.com with your site's URL. This will show error messages and no real content, but don't worry, just proceed to next step

Reload the page
Press the submit button to update the system


(I'm assuming that you did this initially...this script is supposed to handle those DB changes for you)

Keep us all informed, because, as you stated, others are in the same boat!

if you give the regular users full access, and then find the template for the news submission form, you can surround the options that you do not wish the users to have with the following information;

<{if $xoops_isadmin}>
[option that only an admin should have]
<{/if}>

Make a back up of the file first so that if you make a mistake or run into problems, you can put it back to the way it was....
