I have a problem with the last two since my target group is not very computer literate. I wrote a 'users guide' to help raise awareness of the forums, notifications and other things. If you find it useful feel free to rip bits out of it to suit your own purposes.....


This file is brilliant! Any chance it can be found more easily by Newbie XOOPS users? Can it be redrafted based on this website??? and put it in documentation?

I'm impressed

smarty error with my album module

Hi

I am totally unfamiliar with Smarty (so far at least) and I got this error when I installed the my album module.

Warning [Xoops]: Smarty error: unable to read template resource: "db:myalbum_header.html" in file class/smarty/Smarty.class.php line 1042
Warning [Xoops]: Smarty error: unable to read template resource: "db:myalbum_categories.html" in file class/smarty/Smarty.class.php line 1042
Warning [Xoops]: Smarty error: unable to read template resource: "db:myalbum_footer.html" in file class/smarty/Smarty.class.php line 1042

I don't really understand what it means other then something is wrong and I have no clue as to how to fix it. I am still using the standard themes in the latest release of xoops...haven't got to playing with themes yet...

TIA

Re: Can someone plese help with database error

I fixed it

Search works great doesn't it...I checked up on change password and found it in there - it was the password change in my CPanel that was a problem...

For Newbies...if you change you password to access the administration area of your host server you must also change a file in xoops. So for example I have Fantastico for administration - chenged the password and then got a XOOPS error.
What I had to do was got into the file manager in Fantastico and file the file
public_html/mainfile.php
Open it to edit it

When you scroll down through that file you will find this:

// Database Hostname
// Hostname of the database server. If you are unsure, 'localhost' works in most cases.
define('XOOPS_DB_HOST', 'localhost');

// Database Username
// Your database user account on the host
define('XOOPS_DB_USER', 'youraccount');

// Database Password
// Password for your database user account
define('XOOPS_DB_PASS', 'youraccount password');

change your password - touch nothing else! save the file and all will be well.

Can someone plese help with database error

Yup me again

Error [Xoops]: Unable to connect to database in file class/database/databasefactory.php line 34

all was going fine. The following things are what I did before this error came up:
1. I followed instructions and changed a password in my XOOPS and my cpanel. after getting help..however I am not sure that is related to this..
2. I also took some modules back out of the trashcan in cpanel -

Any suggestions? - hopefully simple but I am clueless!
Thanks

Re:modules not showing in admin

problem solved!!

He he ...doing a happy dance I can play again!

Now attention Newbies...Herko told me to turn on PHP debugging...I thought I did...but I had turned on MySQL debuging which is why I wasn't getting any error message at all...and there was an error...so if I had turned on the right thing I would have found it. JasonMR was able to find it in seconds! The phpBB module wasn't happy and was causing all the trouble. Once this module was retired everything else came back on board...

so the lesson is be sure to find the php debugging and turn it on - be sure you have turned on the right one!

Re:image problems

problem is resolved

Thanks to a kindly and patient soul in JasonMR my problem is resloved - an important lesson for all newbies...we need to take the time to learn the correct code for inserting images:

This was the solution
<img src="{X_SITEURL}/images/webgraphics/taustralia.jpg" alt="Jen's right pic" style="float:right; margin:8px;" />

img src - says an image is to go here
{X_SITEURL} means your site's public html folder
images/webgraphics/taustralia.jpg - is the rest of the path to where the image is to be found. (.jpg is the file type of the image)
alt: is the alternative text to appear if the image does not
Style is a rule about where it should go and how big it should be
all "" are as essential as full stops and capital letters in written european languages
< and > are essential as section markers stating this is the start and the finish of the section of code.

Hope this can help other newbies!

Can someone help me with a code translation please

Hi code experts

I have a debugging error message. Since I am new to the language I haven't a clue what it means:

Warning [PHP]: ob_start(): output handler 'ob_gzhandler' cannot be used after 'URL-Rewriter' in file include/cp_functions.php line 33

I see it is a file in includes called cp_functions.php and there is a problem on line 33. That is as far as my understanding goes.

output handler 'ob_gzhandler' cannot be used after 'URL-Rewriter'
means I need to change it to?????

Re:image problems

My many serious and humblest apologies to you who are reading that awful boxed up quote! That'll teach me for not checking on what I posted...where's the dunces corner??? (I was running late for work - is that a good enough excuse?)

Enough said..Jason you are a gentleman for not yelling at me for this - Gold medal in patience is awarded to you.
