Starting a new... System Module Missing!

Hi,

I've been testing XOOPS on one of my servers, getting it ready to transfer to another server to go live on August 1.

I used the Topic 'Starting a new XOOPS site' as a guide and backed-up the XOOPS files and database. I have uploaded the files onto the new server and set up a database and imported the backed-up DB from the test site.

The front-end of the site is working nicely, however the SYSTEM module is completely missing from the control panel when I log in as Administrator. All the other modules (news, newbb, etc) are there and seem to be working - the system module is nowhere to be seen! Also, the css for the control panel is not being found or recognized, as the module css pop-up menus are looking very messy!

I've tried reloading the system module into the modules directory a couple of times now, but there's no difference. I've also uploaded the frameworks folder again, as I read somewhere that that could cause the problem of missing modules.

Could anyone please, please help on this one? I'm desparate and beginning lose hair...!

The other problem is that I forgot the DB user password I used on the test database, and so I had to set a new password on the new server database. Of course, I changed the password via the mainfile.php, but now the password is not encrypted, and is a security risk.

Is there anyway to re-encrypt the DB user password in mainfile.php?

I'm supposed be going live with the site on August 1, so any help would be much appreciated! :)

Cheers, Tracy

Hi,

I'm using the News mod and want to change the appearance of the title in the posts. I've tried this via the news_item.html template and via the article.php but with no success.

At the moment it shows <h2 class="title">TOPIC TITLE : News Title</h2>

I just want it to show <h2 class="title">News Title</h2>

The relevant code I can find is in the article.php

$xoopsOption['template_main'] = 'news_article.html';
include_once 
XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/header.php';

$story['id'] = $storyid;
$story['posttime'] = formatTimestamp($article->published(),$dateformat);
$story['news_title'] = $article->title();
[
b]$story['title'] = $article->textlink()."&nbsp;:&nbsp;".$article->title();[/b]
$story['topic_title'] = $article->textlink();


The code in the news_item.html is:

<td class="itemHead"><h2 class='title">[b]<{$story.title}>[/b]</h2></td


I've tried changing it to <{$story.news_title}> in the html template but that didn't work.

I've tried changing the article.php to
$story['title'] = $article->title();

but that didn't work either!

Help. You can see the relevant page at TopVA Demo

Thanks, Tracy

RSS code in Xpress Module template

Hi,

I've tried to include the php code to add RSS links to each item in the Xpress module blog. But it seems to be printing out the php code instead of running it, so the links don't work.

I added it in the wp-index.html template as follows:

...
<div class="wp-post-meta"><{$wp_content.lang_under}> <{$post.category}> <{if $post.edit}> <strong>|</strong> <{$post.edit}> <{/if}> <{if $post.comment}><strong>|</strong> <{$post.comment}><{/if}>

</div>
<ul>

<li>
<a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>" title="<?php _e('Syndicate this site using RSS'); ?>"><?php _e('<abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr>'); ?></a>
</li>

<li>
<a href="<?php bloginfo('atom_url'); ?>" title="<?php _e('Syndicate this site using Atom'); ?>"><?php _e('Atom'); ?></a>
</li>

<li>
<a href="<?php bloginfo('comments_rss2_url'); ?>" title="<?php _e('The latest comments to all posts in RSS'); ?>"><?php _e('Comments <abbr title="Really Simple Syndication">RSS</abbr>'); ?></a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>...

You can see the result hereTopVA - XOOPS Demo

Any pointers?

Thanks, Tracy

Hi,

Anyone know of a Tag Cloud plugin for the Wordpress modules (Xpress)?

Or is there another way to get tags into the Xpress module?

Cheers,

Re: Custom Block - PHP Mode or Javascript... Help!

Hi,

Thanks for responding :)

Nope, that didn't work for me. Still get the block title 'Sponsored Links' but no ads underneath. Once I save in the Kovi Editor and go back and look at the block html code, it's moved the code around again, so it's not as Google needs it. And it's still changing some of the tags to the asci(?) code eg '&lt;!-- google_ad_client' etc.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers, Tracy

Custom Block - PHP Mode or Javascript... Help!

Hi,

I'm desparately trying to add Google Ads to a custom Block. I've tried just copy and pasting (as a lot of the articles about adsense say you can do) and using an html code block and nothing happens, apart from the block title showing, nothing else...this is because something - the html editor (kovi)? - is changing the code so it appears in one long line - which Google Adsense does not allow.

I have the Google code working as a banner and as some html in the theme. It's just the block I can't get to work!

I've also tried putting the Google code in a separate html file and put server-side include statement as an html block - that didn't work.

I've also tried using a php echo statement having the block as a PHP code, but nothing shows up! When I include a simple 'echo "word""; it shows the block title and 'word' underneath. So why won't it show the Google javascript code?

Could I save the Google code as a separate .js file and include this somehow.

I'm desparate to get this to work, and can't see away around it.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers, Tracy

Hi,
Can anyone here let me know how to get the News module to do permalinks?

It's not an option in the Modules settings, that I can see.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Xoops Hanging

Hi,

I've just loaded a new theme and was playing about with some module stuff (evennews), so not sure which of the two may have caused the problem - everything was working fine before!

Now when I try to load the XOOPS site, I'm left with a totally blank page with the browser saying it's 'Transferring data from ...'

When I look at the page source, all the XOOPS and XHML code is there!! :(

I've reloaded the theme from scratch (without my changes), I've emptied the template_c folder and I've also changed the default theme in the MySql database to show phpkoax - a standard theme that comes with XOOPS 2.0.16.

All to no avail...

Can anyone here point me in the right direction?

You can see the site at topva.co.uk/demoCMS/

Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Tracy

Thanks both

I am using the Multi-menu as well as the main menu, so I decided to change it in the blocks.php as suggested by Herko and that's done the job.

Cheers,

Hi,

Okay, okay, this is probably a dumb question... but how/where to I change the 'Home' text on the XOOPS main menu to read 'Welcome'?

Thanks,

Tracy
