I think this question is ALMOST the same as the first one:

I have some articles which are not visible to anonymous users, but the "Recent comments" box shows ALL comments (even ones relating to 'hidden' articles).

Is there any way round this?

Using xfsection 1.10 and XOOPS 2.2.3

I have moved a step further on, but have not yet got a solution

Since the first post, I noticed the 'Admin' option on the forums when logged in as webmaster. (A stupid oversight, I know.) I then marked a few posts 'Digest'. It all seemed to be working.

The index said "Should send in:" (approx 24hours). Now it has gone back to "Should have been sent:" (approx 3 hours ago).

How do I get the digest to send?????????????

It must be pretty simple (for those who know) - PLEASE HELP!

Wasn't XOOPS 2.2.3 final released just after this thread started? All seems fine to me, though I have to admit that I discovered php and XOOPS less than 2 weeks ago.

The forums/FAQ's are great, just one comment (linked to Arowana's third point):

It's hard to know where to post a suggested bug-fix, or just a minor addition/alteration. I've just noticed the "Submit Module Bug" and "Submit Module Hack" but it's quite daunting for a beginner like me (and I couldn't find xfsection in the drop-down list).

Perhaps there could be a forum for beginners to share their discoveries (rather than just ask questions). All beginners probably have the same annoying problems - many will solve them without the forum but not have the confidence to "share the experience" - and many probably won't solve them and will give up.

That forum could be a good learning experience, and maybe encourage more people eventually to get involved in development proper.

Hope that makes some sense

How can I get forum digest to work?

XOOPS Version: 2.2.3
Module Name/Version: newbb 2.3
PHP Version: 4.3.5
MySQL Version: 4.0.11a-gamma
Web Server Software (Apache/IIS/Other): Apache
Operating System: Linux

In forum preferences I have set "Email post digest" to "Daily".

In the notification block I selected "Notify me of post digest" (a couple of days ago I think)

All other notifications (e.g. new post) work.

The forum admin "index" page says "Digest notification
Should be sent out 18899938 minutes ago | Digest archive 0"

If I click on "Should be sent..." it says "Digest NOT processed"

How do I get it to work? Any help greatly appreciated.

xfsection: "The selected article does not exist" when user submits article

Xoops 2.2.3 & xfsection 1.1

I'm not sure where on the forums to put this, as it's a solution to a problem which I was ALMOST going to ask about...

When xfsection is set so that users CAN submit articles but they are NOT automatically approved, the message "The selected article does not exist" is displayed after submission of an article. This is becuase xfsection tries to jump to the newly submitted article (which cannot yet be displayed).

Near the bottom of submit.php you'll find a comment "jump new article". The next line needs to be added to as follows:

Quote:

// jump new article
// if ($newid != 0) <---- ADDING TO THIS, SO THAT IF NOT AUTOAPPROVE THEN DON'T TRY TO JUMP TO ARTICLE! JW 8/12/05
if ( ($newid != 0) && ($wfsConfig['autoapprove'] == 1) )

Hope this helps someone. If it's already on the forums (I couldn't find it) then I apologise, and feel free to delete this.

Full text Notification possible for non-admin user in newBB?

Using XOOPS 2.2.3 and newBB 2.3

I noticed that non-admin users can't choose full-text notifications of new posts.

I assume that I would need a "hack" to enable this - has anyone either done this before, or able to do it now? I just can't work it out.

A search only turned up this:
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=14040&viewmode=flat&order=ASC&start=10
which (I assume) related to an old version of newBB. Someone had suggested that this would be a good feature for a new version.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thank you very much for your swift response.

You would have to set the default for all users to be able to read the forum, and notify them.

Do you mean
- Emailing users saying "There is an Announcement forum - please change your notification options" or
- Changing their notification options (if so, how??)

Quote:

Otherwise use the mail form, make sure you are on that list then post it in the forum manually

Yes, an easier solution (to be honest, I will probably do that , even though it's not quite as elegant!)

Again, thank you for your help.

(Edited to remove my last question, to put it in a new thread.)

Possible to pre-set Notification options for Every user?

XOOPS Version: 2.2.3
Module Name/Version: sytem
PHP Version: 4.3.5
MySQL Version: 4.0.11a-gamma
Web Server Software (Apache/IIS/Other): Apache
Operating System: Linux

I would like to have an "Announcements" forum where only certain users can post, but ALL users get emailed the posts.

(I know I could use the "email user" function, but I would like to have a record of all announcements on the website. Are there any other alternatives?)

I see that the table xoops_xoopsnotifications has an entry for each notification. I know what I would like the table to contain (for each user: not_modid=4, not_itemid=6, not_category=forum, not_event=new_fullpost, not_mode=0) Am I right that not_mode is "via email" when set to 0?

I've also noticed that there are functions "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" which get called in notification_update.php when a user changed his notifications, and which add/remove notifications from the table.

I imagine it wouldn't be terribly hard to do a PHP script:
for each user in database {
subscribe(forum 6 full_post etc)
}
(or maybe there's a way of using SQL)

OR maybe a row could be inserted in the table when a user is created?

BUT...... I'm scared of messing it up! Has anyone done this before?

I'd appreciate any help! Tell me if you need more information. Thank you.
