I had this problem the first time... (xoops 2.2.3) Make sure you are uploading the correct directory. Sometimes there are directories which you don't need. Go down until you get to the directory containing the xoops_version file (or whatever it's called, I can't remember off-hand). This is the one to upload to the modules directory.

Re: Should I "Downgrade" from 2.2.3a to 2.0.X?

I have only ever used 2.2.3 so can't comment on previous versions. Perhaps weblinks 0.93 is not compatible with the old version of xoops?

weblinks 0.96 is available from the author's website at:http://linux2.ohwada.net/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=9

Maybe you could get the answer from there? (Try to use their forum for queries - I admit I couldn't register - as if you use the contact form you will get a terse reply!!)

I'm using XOOPS 2.2.3 with newbb/cbb 2.3, xfsection 1.10, weblinks 0.96, contact 1.5, multimenu 1.74, and phpmyadmin 2.6. All seem to work fine (except for the frigging forum digest feature in newbb... and notifications don't work with xfsection)

I had to try out loads of other modules, which didn't work, before these. The only two that are left in my modules page are Articles 2.41 or Contact Plus 0.8 - I can't remember what the others were.

Hope this helps

Maybe it's a problem with the content module? I don't have it. Does the same happen e.g. in a custom block?

Mine is the same as yours, EXCEPT for the
<a href="mailto:user@domain.com">user@domain.com</a>
at the end.

Could you cut&paste the contents of
function makeClickable( $text )
?

Maybe there's an extra bit at the end that shouldn't be there?

Sorry I can't give a definite answer - perhaps someone else can.

Yep it works!

As a beginner, I didn't quite understand this thread at first. Hopefully you won't mind me putting it into simple words!

On XOOPS 2.2.3 a dot appears after email addresses (e.g. in xfsection articles)

To get rid of this, go to the file class/module.textsanitizer.php

At line 131 you will see
function makeClickable( $text )
This is what converts the email address into a clickable link, and which also adds the offending dot.

Find the lines beginning
$replacements = array

Four lines after that you will see
host1+'.'+host2
twice in the same line.

Change both occurrences to
host1+''+host2
(i.e. remove the dot between the apostrophes)

This will remove the dot from both the email address as it displays on the screen, and as it comes up in Outlook.





The second improvement mentioned above was replacing @ with the code & # 6 4 (you need to remove the 3 spaces from between those 4 characters).

This is to help confuse spiders which crawl the internet collecting email addresses.

The @ symbol appears twice on the line which you've just amended. Just delete it and replace it with & # 6 4 each time.




As far as I know, the use of Javascript in XOOPS 2.2.3 to display the email links is itself a quite effective means to combat the email spiders.

I hope that removing the extra dot will lead to much more junk mail.



Hope this helps the beginners like myself!!

To answer my own question ...

1. I was telling people the website address with WWW (e.g. www.xoops.org)

2. In mainfile.php the XOOPS_ROOT constant had no WWW (e.g. xoops.org)

The discrepancy between 1 and 2 above caused the problem.

I've changed mainfile.php, and will get the bloke that owns the server to change it so that it always goes to the WWW version of the site name.

Hope this is useful for someone else...

Notifications with XFsection/any module

Hi

I would like to be able to show Notification Options for XFsection. Is this possible?

Cheers

EDIT: In other words, it doesn't appear to be part of the module - so how can I implement it myself?

Just came across a problem... never happened before I used autologin, but perhaps it is not caused by autologin...

xoops/error.php?c=1 page comes up when login:
Quote:

Why am I being redirected here?

XXXX site security has detected that your computer has a firewall setting that is preventing you from registering on the site. We use 'Referrer-checking' know as HTTP_REFERER which makes sure that all contents posted are from authorised users only. Your firewall settings are blocking this information, so this will prevent you from registering properly if you try and proceed.


Apparently this is something to do with cookies... I think it's becuase the autologin thing redirects to website.com instead of www.website.com, which confuses the cookies! The bloke who owns the server will change it so that it always redirects to the www version.

Maybe I'm wrong - I would welcome your comments.

I have to admit I didn't notice your second question, sorry

I use multimenu too and can recommend it.

If you just want to have plain text (e.g. a welcome message) go to the Blocks admin page again. Click on the drop-down menu and select "System - Custom block"

If you want to have lots of custom pages you could use an 'articles' module. I use xfsection which works perfectly, but most questions etc seem to be about other modules (articles/magazine etc...)
