Still struggling with this.

- I have a working backup of my 2.0.13.1 install
- I enable PHPDebug
- I copy all files from the html/ folder in the xoops-2.0.13.1-to-2.2.3a-Final.tar.gz archive to the root directory of my working install
- I accesshttp://mybackupinstall/xoopsupdate.php

When I do this, I get

This page cannot be displayed due to an internal error.

If you are the administrator of this site, please visit the XOOPS Troubleshooting Page for assistance.

Helpful infomation you should provide while asking for assistance:

Notice [PHP]: Undefined index: enable_badips in file /usr/local/www/data/domains/mybackupinstall/class/xoopssecurity.php line 215
Notice [PHP]: Undefined index: language in file /usr/local/www/data/domains/mybackupinstall/include/common.php line 152
Notice [PHP]: Undefined index: language in file /usr/local/www/data/domains/mybackupinstall/include/common.php line 172
....

If I hit Reload, I get a blank page...
I had a look athttps://xoops.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=80, but didn't see anything about "Undefined index."

Would appreciate any pointers...

Thanks,

I had a similar error, but am running the upgrade script that I just downloaded today, so I assume that its the one that's already been fixed - so not sure why I'm having the problem.

I'm test-running the upgrade on a back-up machine with an identical directory structure, loaded in my existing site's web and MySQL data.

So I run the install script:

- Welcome to the Install Wizard for XOOPS 2.2 - Choose language.
- Welcome to the Install Wizard for XOOPS 2.2 - What is it?
- Checking file and directory permissions.. - No errors.
- General configuration
- Please confirm the following submitted data
- Saving configuration data.. - success
- check path & URL - Ok
- confirm database settings
- check database - Ok
- This is where I start having problems:

"

Database tables created."

I thought Maybe its because the tables exist already, so proceed to the next step:

- Please choose your site admin's name and password.
When I hit the Next button at this point my browser tries endlessly to load the page. This may be because of something leftover from a previous attempt, but I hit the same issue at another point last time - the browser just endlessly trying to load. (I assume it will time out eventually...)

Any ideas?

Is there not yet anything available for a blog interface in XOOPS? I had a look through some discussion on the WebLog module, but it seems to be stuck in a state of non-workingness. Is that correct? Anyone else have blog functionality built into their XOOPS site?

- b -

How do I edit the Site Stats block (which shows downloads, links, articles, users, current date/time, etc.)? I'm not talking about a 3rd party module, but the one which comes with XOOPS as default.

Any hints appreciated.

Some of my users started complaining about this problem recently as well. I was surprised not to find anything here mentioned about it since 2003...

Anyone know what the problem is?
I'm using 2.0.93 ...

I'm using the RSSFit module. I added the module to my website without a problem, and it initially worked - I had the feed as a 'Live Bookmark' in the Firefox browser. The next day, I got the message "Live Bookmark failed to load."

I then downloaded and installed Feedreader for Windows and attempted to add the feed. It gave me the message, "Server was found but Internet address you submitted does not contain feed subscription information."

Not sure why this would initially work and then suddenly stop. Anyone have any ideas?

I'm wondering about what to do for multi-language support for my site. I know you can change the default language in the Admin control panel, but I want the default language to remain English, while still offering Japanese surfers the ability to create an account and use my site in Japanese. I saw something in the modules section here, but that seems to be a totally different (hacked up) version of XOOPS itself. Does the main XOOPS project have anything like its own module with a language file and a switch that Japanese surfers could click to turn the whole site (except user posts, etc. of course) into Japanese?

Any advice appreciated,

The Karma module I eventually created is working here:

http://www.kutaki.org/

Setup requires:
- Addition of a karma field to the user table
to hold each user's current karma level
- Addition of a 'karma_record' table
to keep track of who adjusted who's karma,
from what to what, when
- Installation of the karma module
to provide an interface for moderators to adjust karma
- Edit of the viewtopic.php file
to disply the user's karma with their location and other
information beside their posts

It works like this:
Moderators see a Karma link on the Main menu on the left.
Clicking on that link shows them a screen where they can choose a user from a listbox. There is then a textarea where the moderator enters the reason for the karma adjustment. There are then two buttons ('Up' and 'Down') which the moderator uses to adjust the user's karma up or down one point. An email is automatically sent to the user to notify them of the karma adjustment, including the reason and what their karma was adjusted from and to. The moderator interface displays a list of the last 15 karma adjustments so that moderators can keep track of who adjusted who's karma to what recently. Moderators must provide a reason when adjusting someone's karma, and they are not able to adjust their own karma.

That's about it.
If anyone else wants something like this, I can make it available.

Thanks Gandalf!!

I recently upgraded my XOOPS system to 2.0.9.3. Surely there must be a way to find out the IP address which a post was made from? Has this been done in the core code or in a module somewhere?
