My above mentioned Themes have been posted in the 'XOOPS News' section of this site. I missed the redirect message so I'm guessing the post has to be reviewed and accepted before it's viewable. Anyway they are posted on there too :) Hope you enjoy :)

HIya jensclas and davidl2 :) Thanks for your help and comments :) I'm gonna add my Themes and links to where they can be downloaded in the News Section in here as well. Glad ya like the Calligraphy Theme. On the 'bad day' post... yeah . ya gotta laugh at it i guess, otherwise ya go nuts huh lol. anyway thanks again for your advice and post :)

Hiyas :)

I've used XOOPS for about 2mths. Since I changed my personal site to use XOOPS about 7 weeks ago, I've made the site more interactive with more dynamic content and more for visitors to do and read. There's no specific topic for the site's content hence the slogan 'A bit of this and a bit of that' :P But there is heaps to read and registered users can post in their own rave blog. Only need to register to download something and post in some forums, and view a couple of minor things. More static pages to come soon.

I've also made a few themes of my own for XOOPS 2.0.13 to 2.0.15 and working on tuning up some others that are available for viewing in the site's Theme Selector, all of which are created by me apart from the default of course.

Themes I've got available for download
I've never submitted Themes before and I can't seem to find anywhere on this XOOPS site where I can submit them, so the Themes I've got available for download on my site are:
Blue Glow

Red Glow

Calligraphy

All have been tested only in IE and Firefox browsers and work fine.
You can read more about them and can see the themes in use on either of my sites:
My main site, www.richardsdomain.com , or on my test site,http://myxoopsthemes.richardsdomain.com which is closed when I'm working on Themes.

To download any Themes you'll need to register, same as on here. I might change this later though. Feel free to comment on the themes in the Forum 'My Own XOOPS Themes' in their appropriate topics.

Hope you enjoy the site and Themes and I hope they work well :) I'll be making more themes soon. Feedback on here or on my site is appreciated :) Thanks :)

Well it's not the 'default theme' cause i thought it may have been.

HERE is a link to a post where someone else has same problem, and which his hosting company said same thing about 'optimized' queries or something like that that's causing it. I replied to is as well as it's about the same problem.

Hi, I'm having same problem on my hosts server / database.
Are you with Godaddy by any chance?

I posted about this in another forum HERE

I rang my Hosting Co. and they said same thing about queries being lined up behind one another to load, and when one doesn't the rest don't and it gives a slow loading time or doesn't load at all. They said they ran scripts on a couple of my sites and they all loaded instantly but noticed some queries weren't 'optimised' and were causing some load time issues. Something like that anyway.

Strange thing is, it's happening on my XOOPS installation, on my Joomla installation and also on my MKPortal installation, which are all on the one hosting account. Yet i have another hosting account (also with same Hosting provider) which also runs a MKPortal installation and it loads fine. So i'm lost as to what it could be. It's not the hosting provider doubling up or cutting corners I don't think, it sounds like something in their MySQL installation maybe? . i dunno.

I told them it's weird it's happening on 3 different CMS or portal systems and that it must be on their end in the actual database setup. They know that the other hosting account loads fine with MKPortal, but the first 3 i mentioned don't. They escalated my request for help and said they are going to run some tests on the databases and see what they come up with. Of course it was suggested I could go with a virtual dedicated server, but i can't afford that every mth :(

So how or what does one do about these queries they mention? How do you 'optimize' them ? it's obviously not XOOPS that i can think of, unless there is a way to make XOOPS queries 'optimised' ? i dunno.... anyhelp would be appreciated :) thanks in advance.

Could it be that the site wasn't loading because I didn't have the 'Default' XOOPS theme included as one of the selectable themes which users can choose from? I just made the 'default' XOOPS theme one of the themes to choose from and the site seems to be loading normally now. It is probably just a coincidence and the site is probably just behaving normally at the time I did this, but if it keeps working now that guests can choose that theme, then I think it could be either that, or when I cloned the default template to create my own themes, something went wrong and wasn't stored correctly in the database. But then again it would have to have done same thing when I cloned it on the test site as well. I'll try anything at the moment, i just want my site to work normally again. Any ideas those who help develop XOOPS? ty in advance again. :)

hiya jensclas, is your site hosted with godaddy? Mine is but i've called them and they checked everything and they said that it seems as though something in XOOPS is not connecting with the MySQL database and they said to check settings and make sure they are all correct. I don't know where to start checking or even which settings to check in the database.

I can access old .php pages from my old site which are still on the server (they aren't stored on a database), they load instantly, but my XOOPS installation isn't loading at times. Sometimes it's quick to load, others it's just 'server not found'. I can access admin 'when' i can get to the site, and most times it works normally, but the site doesn't load :( I'm lost and it's annoying me. I really need some help with this, coz I've got some themes which I"m working on which I intend to hopefully release on the XOOPS site and on my own site as well, but it's no good if i have a site that is down more than up.

I've disabled protector on my test site, but still had same problem so it's not that.

anyway if some XOOPS developers out there could help with why the site isn't connecting to the database like it should, i would really appreciate it :) ty in advance.

I've had another look around the system and i can't find why the site is intermittently loading and then not loading. Sometimes it takes ages to get into anything so i can check things. It was working fine, so I don't know what's happened. It's really annoyin me now. I am starting to think it's something to do with the protector module. If it keeps goin and i can't find what's wrong, i guess i'll just wipe all the hard work i've done and just get rid of the lot :( I don't know if i can put a backup made from this database, onto a new database or if it can be done. Anyway if anyone can help with this problem, it'd be appreciated. thanks in advance.

Updated Post:

HI,

A few months ago I installed XOOPS 2.0.14 on my site, and just recently I've noticed my Site does not load, and gives the 'page not found' page and the window tile says 'cannot find server', or it takes forever to load.


XOOPS Version: 2.0.15 (I only just upgraded from 2.0.14)
PHP Version: 4.3.11
MySQL Version: 4.0.24
Web Server Software (Apache/IIS/Other): Apache
Operating System: Linux
Theme you are using: XOOPS Default Theme plus my own themes
Custom template: (Yes/No) Yes for own themes, no for default theme
PHP Debug Messages: Unsure what to post
MySQL Debug Messages: Unsure what to post
Smarty Debug Messages: Unsure what to post
A full description of the issue: See below and above.


My site is hosted on godaddy.com and they have done a check on the site and server, and said that everything looks fine, but that it could be something in XOOPS that is not set correctly with the mysql. I"m starting to get lost now, coz i've looked everywhere that i know to look, but i can't figure out why my site isn't loading :(

SOmetimes i can get straight into the site, others not at all. I can get into the admin section sometimes, and even then at times I can make a setting change as simple as turning site off so i can debug (also i not sure of what to look for in debugging) it says it's updated the database but then it tried to go back to the page it should but just goes to page not found.

Any ideas on what is going on ? I have just recently installed a test site as a subdomain as I"m working on themes which I've released for download, and even that subdomain which is the same XOOPS version isn't loading at times.

My site is RichardsDomain.Com and the subdomain is myxoopsthemes.richardsdomain.com , if anyone can help me figure out why my XOOPS sites are not loading I would really appreciate it. It's really starting to annoy me coz the site is getting worse and not loading so i'm lost as to what's wrong. Thanks in advance
