This is your internet security causing this problem.

*Zone
*Norton

are just some of them.. below is how to configure your norton so it will accept you posting on the forums and you wont have to turn your security off compleatly.

THIS IS NOT A DATABASE ISSUE .. just change your security settings. If you need anymore help with this drop me an email nathan@ultima7.com and ill help you through it

I had this exact problem, even on the xoops.org forums (and also registering as a new member).

I emailed Onokazu and he(she?) correctly identified the problem as "my browser not sending out HTTP_REFERER ... because I am using firewall software" (ZoneAlarm in my case).

As soon as I deactivated ZoneAlarm I could post to the forums.

Brian Hay.

You're a legend!! Thank you very much.

I should have known that the XOOPS developers would have thought of this.

Well, yes there are.
There is such feature called groups in the admin panel.
Just untick whatever you dont want unregistered users to NOT see.

You can even separate your users into different group experiencing different blocks access .

As for the submit news sublink , you have to edit the templates to get what you want .(remove the link for unregistered) .

Since today is a good day as any , here is how to do it .

Go to your admin panel , system--> templates .. Clone your default templates giving it a name ( because you cannot edit default templates ).

After that go to system --> blocks

See the main menu on the list ? click on the edit on the right side.

After this ,, there is a edit template on the right block .Click on that

An editor came out .

find these

Quote:
<{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}>
<a class="menuSub" href="<{$sublink.url}>"> |-- <{$sublink.name}></a>
<{/foreach}>


and changed to

Quote:
<{if ($xoops_isuser==1)}>
<{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}>
<a class="menuSub" href="<{$sublink.url}>"> |-- <{$sublink.name}></a>
<{/foreach}>
<{/if}>


then goto ... system-->preferences-->general settings-->


find "Default template set" , and change the default to the new template name that you have cloned.And you're done.

From a usability point of view it erks me that restricted menu functions in XOOPS are displayed to users who don't have access rights to them. For example, the "submit news" function is displayed even if you're an unregistered guest. It makes people think they CAN submit news when in fact they can't, without first registering and logging in.

Likewise, displaying blocks that are empty. For example, news articles that have NO comments still display the comments block with sorting fields and table headers. This is redundant and just doesn't make sense to me.

Is there any way to deactivate restricted and unused items?

If not, I think this feature would be important for webmasters who want to use XOOPS for corporate websites/intranets (rather than just community portal sites), that is, they want to display a clean, uncluttered corporate interface to casual visitors (potential customers) yet expose selected staff to the necessary admin functions.

Are other users having this problem? Sounds like it could be a database issue...

help! One of my user is having this problem, she managed to post only once before this starts. She could send me PM though. BTW, she's using IE 6 on win 95. Have the cookies setting at the lowest possible. TIA.

Hi,

I've made a project managing module.
It's a clone of the Incyte Project Manager (http://sf.net/projects/ipm/).

At the moment it's only in german, but the original is english. So I think the english version will be up soon, too.

Hope it helps somebody here.

Have fun
G'Ron

I really enjoy phpwebhosting.com. They have been doing a great job for me for about six months. I have six sites set up with them, and they are always very helpful.

I have ready ssh access, (I also ssh from work where I don't have access to the ssh port, so they gave me access on the Telnet port also) They give compile rights.

Whenever I have a question or concern, they email me back very quickly.

You should check it out, it is month to month also.
