Thanks guys,

I have managed to get in, since my profile email address is correct I guess I put the wrong address when I filled the contact form.

Hi Guys,

I am trying to get in touch with the folks over France but I am not successfull as of now.

1) Tried to register on their web site but never got the email confirmation
2) filled a contact-us form but didn't get reply back
3) send PM on this site to one member I know is from the French team but no answers

Anyone able to put me in contact with someone over there?

Thanks,

Thanks,

I will have a look and play with 2.6.0, I can test it but won’t be able to contribute as I have little to no knowledge of php/smarty etc…

I will go with 2.5.7.1 but if RC10 is a test version should I not stick to RC9 for my production server?

Hi guys,

I am in the process of rebuilding (not upgrade) a site from 2.5.0 to 2.5.7.1. I was under the impression that the latest NewBB was 4.33 RC9 but found RC10 and got to try it. The issue is that from the module about page I can see;


Forum 4.33 RC10 (27/07/2015)
by Marko Schmuck (predator) / D.J. (phppp) / Alfred(dhcst) / xoops.org (irmtfan)
GNU GPL 2.0
4.33 RC 10 NOT RELEASED
===========================================
- moved all images, CSS, and JS files to /assets (mamba)
- renamed .html Smarty templates to .tpl (mamba)
- removed closing php tags (mamba)
- set min. PHP as 5.3.7 and min. XOOPS as 2.5.7 (mamba)
- replaced dirname(__FILE__) with __DIR__ (mamba)
- replaced $i++ with ++$i (mamba)
- replaced $_POST and $_GET with XoopsRequest (mamba)
- replaced XOOPS_ROOT_PATH with $GLOBALS['xoops']->path (mamba)
- added/fixed phpDoc headers (mamba)
- replaced intval() with (int) (mamba)
- enforcing strict comparison (mamba)


1) Can someone confirm if the latest official NewBB that works with XOOPS 2.5.7.1 is RC9 and not RC10?

2) in this post https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=359754 I can see reference to "NewBB: 4.4 Alpha 1" what is it?

3) I can also see some work going on with XOOPS 2.6.0 at the moment so is it worse spending much time on rebuilding from 2.5.0 to 2.5.7.1 or should I just wait for 2.6.0 to go out? I assuming that there will be a NewBB version that will work with 2.6.0.

Thanks,

Fabou

Hi guys,

Did we get to the bottom of sharing themes and documenting this really nice work?

Theme sharing and documentation of work like this could help understand the flexibility of XOOPS for those with little knowledge/experience like me. I am really interested with it since I am facing a few esthetical issues with xbootstrap + NewBB.

Also to me the latest version of NewBB was 4.33 RC10 but it seem that ocaholic is using NewBB 4.4 Alpha 1, where can I find this version? Is this a stable version?

Will do but should I understand by this that you don't think the issue is related to “<{$xoops_module_header}>” and CSS as explained previously?

Hi guys,

XOOPS Version: 2.5.7.1
Module Name/Version: NEWBB 4.33 RC7 (from irmtfan)
PHP Version: 5.5.9
MySQL Version: 5.5.41
Web Server Software (Apache/IIS/Other): Apache2
Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Server
Theme you are using: xbootstrap-1.03
Custom template: (Yes/No), Not sure what is this…


I found an issue with newbb not displaying correctly in certain occasion and I can’t figure out what’s wrong. I am also not sure where is the problem so probably I posted in the wrong forum category. I have configured forum block to be displayed @ home page but the forum table doesn’t want to align correctly by default. See below

Image 1

Now, when I logging it become better by using all space provided. See below

Image2

As soon as I hit the refresh button we are back to square one with ugly table.

By comparing the code from the two different scenarios I found one difference between the two files. When the forum is displayed correctly I can see the following



But when it’s not displaying correctly I can see the following


That is to say that the line ““ is missing.

Those CSS references seems to be from “<{$xoops_module_header}>” in the folowing file "/var/www/html/xoops/themes/xbootstrap/theme.html" (line 40).

Now I have fixed the problem by adding hardcoding “” just below “<{$xoops_module_header}>” but I don’t really understand what is going on.

I am not good enough to figure out why “<{$xoops_module_header}>” would return sometime 3 lines or 2 lines. Seems like this is a CSS related issue where some property are overrided by the “/xoops/xoops.css" CSS file.

Any one came across this issue and managed to fix it? What else can I do to try to understand this? I don’t really like my fix and would like to find a cleaner solution for this issue.

Thanks,

The install worked last night, I can't figure out why it failed last time with the file from /extras

I beileve the only thing I was doing differently was to rename the secure.dist.php to secure.php

I can give it try again if you want to confirm. This is easy for me to do since I am using snapshots.

Just let me know?

Fabou

Thanks Mamba,

I did try yesterday to copy the file from /extras and noticed an improvement in a sense that I could get to where the install process created the database and also the tables but still later down the line I got that blank page again (sniff) with no error messages even though I have turned PHP debug on.

I will give it a try again tonight and post updates (I have spent the whole yesterday without success), in the meantime;

1) Should I still make "secure.dist.php" writable?
2) Do you have any idea why some hosts have problems with generating the "mainfile.php" file?

This is a test environment that I have setup in preparation for a complete live re-install from 2.5.0 (no migration) so I can enable anything I want for debugging purpose but would need some guidance.

Hi,

I am having some issues installing 2.5.7.1 on a brand new Linux Ubuntu Server

PHP 5.5.9
mysql 5.5.41

If I run the following commands and launch the webinstall I get a blank page

chmod 777 uploads
chmod 777 uploads/avatars/
chmod 777 uploads/images/
chmod 777 uploads/ranks/
chmod 777 uploads/smilies/
mv mainfile.dist.php mainfile.php
chmod 777 mainfile.php
chmod 777 include/license.php
chmod 777 xoops_lib/modules/protector/configs/
chmod 777 xoops_data/caches
chmod 777 xoops_data/caches/xoops_cache
chmod 777 xoops_data/caches/smarty_cache
chmod 777 xoops_data/caches/smarty_compile
chmod 777 xoops_data/configs
chmod 777 xoops_data/data
mv xoops_data/data/secure.dist.php xoops_data/data/secure.php
chmod 777 xoops_data/data/secure.php


whith this error;

[Sun Feb 08 21:09:05.214629 2015] [:error] [pid 1138] [client 192.168.1.107:57179] PHP Warning: require(/data/secure.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/xoops/mainfile.php on line 68
[Sun Feb 08 21:09:05.214848 2015] [:error] [pid 1138] [client 192.168.1.107:57179] PHP Fatal error: require(): Failed opening required '/data/secure.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear') in /var/www/html/xoops/mainfile.php on line 68

Now if I do not rename "mainfile.dist.php" to "mainfile.php" but make it writable at least the webinstall page is showing fine and I can go through the install process until I get an error message saying that it can't write to mainfile.php

Then I am back to blank page and can' t see error messages on the apache2 log

Please note that I have enabled "display_errors" & "error_reporting" in php.ini

Fabou
