So there we go. My first wiki page just a day old and out of date.

Here is a wiki page for Modules compatible with 2.3.1.
In the interests of users such as myself, if something works with "minor fixes", please either leave it off the page or include a link to very basic, newbie, detailed, step-by-step instructions on how and where to make the "minor fixes".

I agree with the comments as well, however as someone with no coding ability at all, I think I've done quite well with XOOPS so far.

The size of the core does not matter to me but the simplicity of use does. If I had asked for a more basic explanation every time I read a thread that seemed to apply to my situation, but I just couldn't understand, I would be labeled a spammer.

I find that the documentation for installation is generally suited to my level of user. What I find lacking is the usage documentation for both the core and the modules. They say what you can do with a module, but not always how or why you would want to. XOOPS is an ongoing journey of discovery for me!

Fortunately my introduction to XOOPS was with an install of 2.2.3 that gave me no problems whatsoever while I used it. I'm not sure that I would still be here if that had been 2.3.1 but you never know.

Finding modules and establishing compatibility is another issue for me. There are so many modules not in, or not updated in the repository that it is work to determine if something works with 2.3.1 or not. Sure, there is the forum for exactly that, but a new user will be digging through 31 posts perhaps to build a list that would ideally be available on a single wiki page.

The forums are great of course, but a comprehensive list of what is compatible would save a lot of posts.

I think it is safe to say that the module and core developers are about as interested in writing manuals and help files as the basic users are in interested in reading readme files.

Do you ever write something and then think "Why did I spend that time suggesting that someone else do something?"

CBB 3.08 - Transfer feature for posts - what else can it do?

Under the transfer feature in CBB 3.08, there are options for
Transfer the post to other applications

* Add the link to bookmarks
* Send post by email
* Create PDF
* Send author PM about the post
* Print post

Under Add the link to bookmarks, I still have the default options of [Del.icio.us] [Furl It] [Sina VIVI] [Yesky bookmark] [365key] [BlogChina]

I am wondering what other purposes this feature can serve?

I see that within XOOPS.org, there is the option to "Write blog with this post." but I don't really want to experiment with that on XOOPS.org.

Re: How do I edit the mail to administrators notifying them of a new registration?

Thank you!

The activation by administration is type 2. I was making changes in the right place, so that gave me some encouragement to continue.

I am however stumped with some things working and some not. I have looked at it far too long now and need a break. I can't detect the errors that are causing some of the information to appear and some not.

The mail to administrators now reads as follows with the bold being drawn from the new user's profile.

A new user testuser49test (test1@mysite.ca) has just registered an account at My Site.
The new user testuser49test entered the following information:
Real Name: GPboarder
Extra Info: I have nothing to add.
Birthday: {BIRTHDATE}
Second e-mail: {email2}
Relationship: {RELATIONSHIP}
The new user testuser49test (test1@mysite.ca) is thrilled that some of this is finally working.
Birthday: {BIRTHDATE}
Address: {STREETADDRESS}, {MUNICIPALITY}, Ontario {POSTALCODE}
The new user says that his/her current occupation is: Jack of All Trades

Followed by link to activate.

I'm going to test more after some rest and see if I can narrow the problem somehow.

My plan is to compare once more the spelling and case of the user profile field, register.php, and adminactivate.tpl, then to see if the fields that are not working share something in common.

Suggestions on how to proceed are welcome as this sort of thing is new to me.

I took the plunge into the coding world and made these changes to /profile/register.php at line 194 in the original file.
Still no joy here.
I mixed the case to see if it mattered, but my notification to the administrators remains the same.

It sends notification mail just as before, with only the username and email inserted properly into the body of the mail.

The fields I am looking for are all in the first step of registration.


elseif ($xoopsConfigUser['activation_type'] == 2) {

                    $xoopsMailer = xoops_getMailer();

                    $xoopsMailer->useMail();

                    $xoopsMailer->setTemplate('adminactivate.tpl');

                    $xoopsMailer->assign('USERNAME', $newuser->getVar('uname'));

                    $xoopsMailer->assign('USEREMAIL', $newuser->getVar('email'));

                    $xoopsMailer->assign('DISPLAYNAME', $newuser->getVar('displayname'));

                    $xoopsMailer->assign('email2', $newuser->getVar('email2'));

                    $xoopsMailer->assign('MUNICIPALITY', $newuser->getVar('municipality'));

                    $xoopsMailer->assign('street_address', $newuser->getVar('street_address'));

                    $xoopsMailer->assign('RELATIONSHIP', $newuser->getVar('relationship'));

                    $xoopsMailer->assign('USERACTLINK', XOOPS_URL . "/modules/" . $xoopsModule->getVar('dirname', 'n') . '/activate.php?id=' . $newuser->getVar('uid') . '&actkey=' . $newuser->getVar('actkey', 'n'));

                    $xoopsMailer->assign('SITENAME', $xoopsConfig['sitename']);

                    $xoopsMailer->assign('ADMINMAIL', $xoopsConfig['adminmail']);

                    $xoopsMailer->assign('SITEURL', XOOPS_URL . "/");

                    $xoopsMailer->setToGroups($member_handler->getGroup($xoopsConfigUser['activation_group']));

                    $xoopsMailer->setFromEmail($xoopsConfig['adminmail']);

                    $xoopsMailer->setFromName($xoopsConfig['sitename']);

                    $xoopsMailer->setSubject(sprintf(_US_USERKEYFOR, $newuser->getVar('uname')));

                    if ( !$xoopsMailer->send() ) { {

Thanks very much.
Sounds like it might be a little outside of my skills, but I'll give it a whirl.

All this attention to my thread had me excited but it is all for a spammer...

Any answers to my original question?

There was apparently some discussion of this some time ago.

Here is a thread of some of us discovering the change.

I was likewise disappointed with the change.
