Xoops system has 5 blocks area,

It is possible to modified the system for addtional block (custom) into theme.html?
(not the custom block you will add in the control panel)

In theme.html file, you have something like:



As you can see this default unique block id will refer to the system block:



If I have to make a custom of this, I can simply change to this:



In this case I need to hack/modify the system function and add options to the admin control panel in order to use this.

If I'm right, anyone interest hacking and developing it?

If I'm wrong, anyone have another way of doing it?

Funny, I only went away from office and came back after 1 hour, leaving everything exactly as explained before, I did "reload" the page and everything was fine. Now I have really no idea of what could be the cause of that very strange thing, but I guess now that was not my or XOOPS fault, since, with the exact same files and conf, before there was a problem and now is disappeared... maybe was some strange setting on the server or something like that...

You mean additional block? positions?

It's clean but I suggest you put an enter word in the intro page or in the image, because I just found it out in 2 mins by moving my mouse around trying to find a way it.

I was going to upload 3 pictures today on one of my XOOPS sites into the myalbum-p module. I used the "upload picture" function from the submenu on the main site, not trough admin. I could upload the first picture without any problems but I cant upload the other 2. I get "no picture uploaded or picture too big" (or whatever it originally is since I have translated it).

I had to go into the admin section of myalbum-p and REMOVE webmasters access to "super upload" and "super edit" and only leave permission for "upload". Then I could upload pictures but I had to change the access back to be able to approve the pictures.. Can anyone explain this? =P

Also, I have problems with the way the pictures are displayed in the photo album. If you browse a directory with images and use the quick links "Previous-1-2-3-Next" the images arent displayed in the order they are in the thumbnail part of the album, is this something I can fix myself?

Would like to hear your views on the Imago Theme that I am now using.

hi Guido,

same problem happens to me, and what I did was to force it a little bit. There should be an easier way in the admin section, but as I'm rather new to Xoops, I just did it my way. Well, I just commented the lines that checked the permissions for news module, therefore, anyone will be able to see it.
Open modules\news\
Find index.php and find this piece code :

if (!$gperm_handler->checkRight('news_view', $_GET['storytopic'], $groups, $xoopsModule->getVar('mid'))) {
redirect_header('index.php', 3, _NOPERM);
exit();
Comment the 2 lines redirect and exit so it should look like this :
//redirect_header('index.php', 3, _NOPERM);
// exit();

then open modules\news\articles.php, search for :

$storyid = (isset($_GET['storyid'])) ? intval($_GET['storyid']) : 0;
if (empty($storyid)) {
redirect_header("index.php",2,_NW_NOSTORY);
exit();
}

$myts =& MyTextSanitizer::getInstance();
// set comment mode if not set

$article = new NewsStory($storyid);
if ( $article->published() == 0 || $article->published() > time() ) {
redirect_header('index.php', 2, _NW_NOSTORY);
exit();
}
$gperm_handler =& xoops_gethandler('groupperm');
if (is_object($xoopsUser)) {
$groups = $xoopsUser->getGroups();
} else {
$groups = XOOPS_GROUP_ANONYMOUS;
}
if (!$gperm_handler->checkRight("news_view", $article->topicid(), $groups, $xoopsModule->getVar('mid'))) {
redirect_header('index.php', 3, _NOPERM);
exit();
}

Do the same (comment) as in the first example.

HTH,

Chris

luckylin, thanks for a great TIP. I have added it to the collection of Xoops-Tips.com.

To make it complete, I also added LACNIC lookup. Anyone who is interested in luckylin's hack can download the hacked version of misc.php from xoops-tips.

I can't update because I can't make the login. If i try to send user and password when it redirects me XOOPS uses the strange url www./domain... so I can't do anything

I think (as intuition) that it has something to do to mainfile.php but I cannot find the solution.

have you updated the system module? (system admin -> modules, clik 'update icon' behind system module...)
