Andrew...
Basically 'yes' to your question...reverse the process to uninstall it. (Back up your database first though)

I do not believe that that particular hack works with 2.0.9.x...the core module code has changed in such a way that the hack essentially prevents the database and site form putting the info together correctly (can't figure out where to insert the database data in the theme now)

If you were able to alter an existing .htaccess file, then you can actually alter it manually and accomplish close to the same thing. I've been able to get the google spider to go 4 directory levels deep, and to extend as far as the first parameter called in each uri just by using redundant, and overkill .htaccess lines.

Good luck!

Just remember, 127.0.0.1 spells home in any language!

I did a site conversion for someone about 4 months ago...they were using Nuke, and were having many 'hacking' issues with it. The conversion went well...and the same kids that were continually attacking the Nuke version spend their afternoons after school attempting to break into the XOOPS version of the site.

All I have to say is;
"Thank you to the XOOPS core team for their dedication and efforts at making one of the best CMS's available! and my continued thanks to GiJoe for his development and mod efforts. I use ALL of them, and my customers and I couldn't be happier with any of it!"

Thanks for a fabulous and informative thread!

domain or host? I have been able to get XOOPS to share a database across domains, with seperate hosts, you'll just need to change the 'localhost' portion of the main file to point to the location of the database being used. It will make your site slow down a bit...and I've had some odd results...nothing horrible, but frustrating if you are a user of the site.

I'm trying to get http://www.site1.net to share users with http://www.site2.net
essentially different domains....
However, they are hosted on the same server, and are technically subdomains of the hosting account, with multiple domains parked on each subdomain folder.

If your not too opposed to starting over, or doing some database editing, this thread from Mith, lazybadger and Carnuke (Thank you gentlemen!) may be the way to go. It also addresses the issue of crossing domains/hosts when using two databases.
I have not tried it yet, but plan to over the next couple of days.

FYI: up until this point, I have had to leave a small disclaimer added to the registration page informing my members that it will be another 24 hours before their user id's will work on the other domains. Once I set that in place, my life turned into database puzzle master...I come home everyday, suck the user tables I need to share out of the database, edit the prefix, and the insert them into the other sites tables. Needless to say, an alternative to this will make my day!

you can also use the MyPage module to make a unique home page, or any one of the other html wrappers, and then use the blocks section in the admin area to layout the rest of the site.

From what I hear, one of the possible features of XOOPS in the future will be individual layouts possible on each page.

bihlink is right...

it needs to go either in a block of it's own, or you need to code it into your theme.

Xoops will kill the java code for security reasons otherwise.

re: the site 'issues'
Went to the site, nice work

even the best of us can let something slip by now and then as far as 'coding' goes...when I viewed the source fo your page the very first thing I noticed was an extra bracket in your first object tag.
Quote:

Depending on the browser, this can cause problems....IE is better at 'correcting' itself, but it's slower than molasses in the dead of winter.
extra tags, unclosed tags and the like will make Firefox freak out a bit, as well as netscape. Depending on the Adware/spyware/antivirus software, the browsers inability to make sense of your code can make then scream 'foul'.

Try using an online html validator, of which there are many, to quickly determine what can be improved to make the browsing experience better for the viewers, and possibly find redundant font tags (A dreamweaver favorite), and non-html 4.0 comliant code (a frontpage favorite) etc.

Hope this was helpful....don't let one user that probably knows nothing of the backend of a website freak you out!

ditto!

...or a module that has more options for the PM's...like showing you what you've sent to whom, etc.

Would be nice if there was a module that worked with the XOOPS core that made the PM's a bit more like an e-mail program, with multiple recipients being allowed etc.

Add this to your theme wherever you want the date and time to display;

< script >
document.write(Date()+".")
< /script >


or...have the date and time displayed in the status bar;

This is a simple one. Just paste the following script into
the < head > ... < /head > of your page. There are no
other set-ups needed.

< script language="JavaScript" >
< !--

function doTheClock() {
window.setTimeout( "doTheClock()", 1000 );
t = new Date();
if(document.all || document.getElementById){
document.title = t.toString();
}else{
self.status = t.toString();
}
}

doTheClock()

*** If you copy and paste, don't forget to take the spaces out of the tag containers!

Does anyone that has the Multisite 'hack' working;
specifically seperate sites with seperate content sharing user tables, willing to post some instructions for those of us that are not very familiar with PHP?

I've tried all of the suggestions and only get errors and blank pages, and think that I am incorrectly editing the database.php file.

help! please....

Thanks!

**bump**

at least you're paying attention...

knowing that IE will load the body info first, try altering your theme template to use the onload commands for the newbb java scripts.

To call more than one function, for example:



don't forget the () bits or it won't work.

Inline styles can also work, but will slow down other elements being loaded, as IE will spend all it's time geekin on the style info.

****on a side note, you do realize that this fabulous cms and all of it's modules, as well as they are designed and implemented, are merely meant to be a starting point for you as a designer or developer. to get specifically what you want, will always require alterations and changes in method.

****advice; tread lightly when asking for help...it would suck to be on a good developers 'blacklist' when you are in need of help woth something that has made your site completely unusable.

Enjoy!
