Re: Site Name and Slogan won't take.

I believe this issue was resolved in this thread:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11396&forum=7

It was due to an incorrectly created table. Probably an error with the cpanel installer, but not positive.

Could you please post here again if the same solution works for you? If so, I'd also be interested in knowing the specific hoster and the specific version of the cpanel installer (fantastico?)... Thanks!

Much appreciated!! Thank you, very kind of you to provide those images. I registered and viewed the screenshots.

For anyone else interested, fantastico simplifies the install procedure. It seems the ISP must do some preliminary configuration (database and path configuration) but then the user is left only to specify: an install directory, admin username/pass, site name, site slogan and admin email. The remainder is done transparently.

Very nice.

Well, since fantastico is a completely different install script than the xoops-installer, it is *possible* that errors in writing this script were made. However, jhobbs site appears to be working properly as far as I can see, so maybe the other problems were in fact unrelated to fantastico.

jhobbs: if it is not too much trouble, would you mind checking if you are able to change the site name and/or slogan via the admin preferences? Not being able to do so is one symptom of the broken database that another user observed.

Thanks again!

Thanks for your reply. The problem with the broken tables was described here:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=11396&forum=7

Of course we can never be sure if it was some kind of user error, or a bug/problem with the database or something else on the server... that is why I am fishing to see if there are any other problems.

I thought I had also read here a couple of instances where permissions were not set correctly.

But I must admit I do not really know what fantastico does *exactly*... I assume it automatically enters all your DB settings and does all the CHMODing (based on the hoster's setup), or am I wrong and it just runs the XOOPS installer? If it only does the latter, then I guess my post is irrelevant, but if it is the former, then it is possible the makers of fantastico accidentally ommitted a necessary chmod, etc... If anyone could enlighten me here, I would appreciate that too!

As many people are aware, there is this CPanel "Fantastico" installer which an increasing number of people are using to install Xoops.

https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=467

http://cpanelthemes.com/fantastico.php

Several people have reported problems and there are a few instances where Fantastico installation is associated with creation of broken database tables, incorrect permission settings, and missing files.

Does anybody have experience with this installer and know if such problems are reproducible? If they are, I'd like to organize something along the lines of a "bug report" for the makers of Fantastico. It would be a shame if potential XOOPS users were having a frustrating first-time installing XOOPS due to problems with this installer. Also, anyone know how widely used CPanel or Fantastico is?

Please let me know your experiences with Fantastico (good or bad) here... Thanks!!

Similar errors are known to happen with some non-standard modules or sometimes when XOOPS 1 modules are run under XOOPS 2. Which version of XOOPS are you using and do you have any non-standard (i.e. one that didn't come with XOOPS distribution) modules?

Thanks, nice observation. I've fixed this in CVS. Instead of $mail_start = 0, use:

$mail_start = !empty($HTTP_POST_VARS['mail_start']) ? $HTTP_POST_VARS['mail_start'] : 0;

Otherwise you *will* break something if you are mailing more than 100 users.

Thanks again!

I think I've seen mention of a "news2" module floating around somewhere... searching the forums may turn up its location. If you find it you'll probably have to make a tiny modification to the xoops_version.php and .sql files as I imagine the "news2" module is designed to work from two different tables rather than sharing just one as you wish to do.

You can also check for ideas in the "x2t" theme which is distributd with xoops. It has a search box built into the header.
