Ran MySQL debug and got these results:

SELECT * FROM xoops_config WHERE (conf_modid = 0 AND conf_catid = 1) ORDER BY conf_order ASC
SELECT sess_data FROM xoops_session WHERE sess_id = '6b15a41369d92d4f78faf6ec807238f5'
SELECT * FROM xoops_users WHERE uid=1

SELECT * FROM xoops_modules WHERE (hasmain = 1 AND isactive = 1) ORDER BY weight ASC, mid ASC
SELECT * FROM xoops_tplset
SELECT * FROM xoops_configoption WHERE conf_id = 13 ORDER BY confop_id ASC
SELECT * FROM xoops_groups WHERE groupid != 3
SELECT * FROM xoops_configoption WHERE conf_id = 32 ORDER BY confop_id ASC

SELECT * FROM xoops_group_permission WHERE (gperm_name = 'module_admin' AND gperm_modid = 1 AND (gperm_groupid = 1 OR gperm_groupid = 2))

I'm not that familair with MySQL to determine if any of these show problems...I ran the Smarty Debug and got a lot of info and I ran PHP Debug but got no results. I really need some help with this. Anyone?


BTW, the site is turned-on and 'allow new users' is set to 'yes' when this error occurs.

My site is currently closed to new users because of ongoing development, but when I allow new user registrations---I'm trying to make sure the html in an auto-responder email looks okay---I continually get the error message that the "name is reserved". This happens with ANY user name I input and I'm not sure where or how to fix this...Does anyone know what's causing this?

I'm not sure if this affects the problem or is causing it, but I have user name filtering set to "medium" because I thought maybe this would make a difference (as opposed to leaving it set to "strict") but it doesn't seem to matter.

Okay, here we go:

First, thanks for everyone's input. However, I'm still stuck on this problem. I think the issue stems from the following code in my style .css (I use the phpbbstyle theme):



As you can see, there is no occurence of the color "#efefef" in this code anywhere, so where is it coming from? Why is this text color (for the text heading that appears over cellpic3.gif) even showing up? I did notice that this is only occuring on the forum index page---the "viewforum" and "viewtopic" pages are unaffected and look the way I want them to.

I'm stumped...even Edit CSS was of no help, but it's a great plugin to have in the browser, even if my site's main page looks like garbage in the Firefox browser (everything stretches across the screen, unless you login, then it's okay).

Anyone see anything wrong with or missing from the above .css? My XOOPS CMS site was an install through my webhost's Cpanel and I haven't had many problems with it, other than several 'cosmetic' issues.

I'd appreciate some further input/insight. Thank you, again, to everyone helping out.

Here we go again,

I've having the same issue with the text color in the heading for the newbb forums (main forum page)---it appears as if the color is "efefef" and I need to change it to "096135"---where does THIS one need to be changed? I've scoured the .css for it but no matter which occurence of "efefef" I change, there's no changing the heading text color...very odd. Anyone here that can help me fix this, please?

I've managed to get an image on my main page but now have 2 problems:

1. The image only shows if a user is logged in.

2. If I try to center the image, it repeats below the footer. (obviously, it's in the wrong place in the theme.html)

Can someone please help me fix this? Thank you.

Rowdie,

Thanks you!

Thank you, everyone, for all your input...but please let me add to what I previously posted:

We do not start with any specific module---we don't want to since we'd like to have an image on the main page rather than any of the modules appearing there. Right now, this is what the main page looks like:

Clan Mac Simoin

This the other page where we'd like to have two images, one under each heading:

Clan Mac Simoin Join Us
(I realize that the application link doesn't lead to one...it doesn't just yet)

As for theme style, we're using the "phpBB Style" (we like its simple, clean look). I know where my images go, but which theme.html needs to be changed to include the images (path)?

/themes/theme.html?

/phpbbstyle/theme.html?

Or does one of the many index.html's need to be edited?

As far as creating images in blocks---for some reason, I cannot get the image to show, even though I've tried using different paths in the code listed with how to do this.
How should the code look if the image is in the images folder for the theme we're using? Did I put the image in the wrong folder?

We'd really like to get this done ASAP---getting the website finished is just one of the issues we're trying to resolve as quickly as possible---and though XOOPS was by far the best of any OS content management system we could find, we're decidedly new to XOOPS and need a little more help than we anticipated.

Thank you again for all your help.

I'm admittedly quite the newbie with XOOPS. However, I have one simple question, even though I'm fairly familiar with php/css: Where do I put background images? I'd like to add background images to my main page, as well as to the 'join us' page (two images here actually, one under each heading), but I cannot find where to put the code.
Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you.

I've changed the text colors in my .css (I use the phpBB Style theme) to my satisfaction but for some bizarro reason I cannot change the text/hover color for the heading in the news module ("NEWS: XXXXXXX"). Am I going blind? Where is it in the .css?
