Ok, no worries, I wonder if fault was just temp as I don't seem to be able to replicate the problem any longer.

I'll wait and see if the other members report any further problems.

Hey, sorry about this but seem to be having a strange problem all of a sudden in that so far 2 members and myself are unable to access a part of my site.

Without debug enabled we were just getting a blank white page.

With debugging enabled I am getting something along the lines of this:

Quote:
A quick search on this site suggested that it may be to do with a PHP upgrade, this faq mentions something:
https://xoops.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=329

I called the host to check for more info, they say that they have not updated for some time, so I asked them to check the site with IE and guess what it works fine.

I knew it was working with Firefox for me, but assumed that perhaps IE was calling it slightly differently??

Anyway I have checked the site with FF, Moz, Konq and IE from a different location and all are fine.

However I still have one user that is unable to access the forums with IE, another that is unable to access the forums with konqueror and I am unable to access the forums with IE.

Odd thing is the rest of the site seems to be working fine.

Anyway, not sure if the problem is related to accessing the site fromhttp://linuxjourney.com rather than www.linuxjourney.com

Can I ask a couple of you to try and get to the site using both address's:

http://linuxjourney.com
http://www.linuxjourney.com

Once there please use the menu to the left to go to the forums. If you get a blank page or message can you tell me what browser (& version) your using and what OS

If you see any errors please post them.

If you see the forums list then thats fine, if you don't mind taking a second to just tell me it works with your browser (& Version) and OS please

I have just started using a PHP 301 to make sure that both urls go to the same place and although everything seems to be working just fine I do wonder if this might be connected.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dave

I think the problem is down to your theme rather than templates.

Sorry can't give much details, but I think if you try editing the style.css and look for ComText (I think) and try to add something like:

I am pretty sure the issue is with you css file, but not sure the exact command you need to stop it from resizing a page.

Sorry not much help but might point in right direction, or at least give you an idea of what to search on.

I think theme looks pretty good, it really works well in all areas of the site.

One prob I see is that both FF and IE show a slight 'break' in theme around this area:

Just looks like the theme is stretched a bit too much.

Other than that, I think the theme is pretty good, and well done on the early xmas gift.

If you look in the directory: /modules/newbb/ you will see a newbb.css file in there also, this is where you make changes to the area you mentioned.

I no longer use newbb 2.0 so have not tried, but rather than keeping track of 2 seperate CSS files, you could just take the info you need from the style.css in newbb folder and add it to your main style.css in your theme directory, I am pretty sure this would work.

Have you investigated the options available with extended profiles?

Perhaps your 'requirements' may fall into the 90% mentioned above.

Hi there.

You need to edit /include/registerform.php

If you open that file, about half way down you will see something like this:

Change this:

to this:

This will set the check box as ticked by default, they can of-course untick it.

Hope that helps

Not sure if this is the same thing, but I was asking about html at ITHQ a few days back, as I was getting blank lines for each HTML tag, unfortunately I was told that it's not really the job of the modules:

Quote:
This answer was in relation to a question about HTML not appearing properly in AMS but fine in Articles, articles does offer more support for HTML in that you can tick a box so that the module ignores the lines that HTML tags are on, AND you can tick a box to remove blank lines. this combination seems to be the best I have seen in any articles module.

However for me, at the time I felt that AMS could offer a bit more in other areas of the module (but perhaps I was mistaken as the latest version of articles has improved on the version I was using)
Anyway I had already decided to go with AMS by that point and have rewritten my articles so that they are better suited to AMS.

AMS is a great module, but if you can't be bothered rewriting articles to get rid of blank lines etc then I would recommend the articles module from sirium.net.

To be honest, It is my opinion that the best module would be a combination of both, at the very least if your a programmer you could maybe rip the functions from the articles module that deal with line breaks and html and modify AMS to be a 'super' module.

I don't have such skills though which is why I ended up rewriting (Or at least editing) my existing articles.

The weight box dictates the location of a block in relation to the other blocks in the same area.

If all of your exisitng blocks have the default weight of 0 then any blocks you add with a weight of 0 will most likely just get shoved at the bottom.

Make sure that all exisiting blocks have a weighting, that may be the cause.

The higher the number, the further down the page the block should appear.

Also when making changes, make sure you clear your browser cache as your browser maybe showing you an older copy of your web page.

AMS and I think articles offer sub categories.

So unless I am over simplifying things here I would guess that you could have a subcategory for each newspaper edition. If however your looking at having articles from different categories making up individual editions of your newspaper you may want to check out the new modules: article which is currently in alpha stage at moment but might be worth a shot.

AMS: More info and download from IT HQ: HERE
Articles: By Andrew Mills at Sirium.net: Info from here
Article: Mroe info from Here

I think that the new module (article) is based around a blogging system and as such I am sure I read that you can post articles in multiple categories, perhaps looking at this may allow you to pull articles from mulitple cats to make a newspaper edition.

I also think I saw a module in the repository which was called something like magazine which might be worth a shot.
