JackJ! Excellent concept.

Question. Could this be made into a stand-alone module for those who don't use WFS?

Thanks Catzwolf, emailed you the tables last night. PHP ebugging shows no errors on wfsection pages at all.

Thanks Brad, downloaded it, installed it, upgraded it, no difference. The book comments are all there from the older versions but the sign.php draws a blank. Bummer.

Like you guys I've been forced to re-evaluate a few modules during the time-consuming move from XOOPS 1.3 to XOOPS 2.0.5.1 and all of the problems I hasten to add have not been core-related - that was as smooth as silk - they have been module-related (some of it highlighted by lack of reason, logic and consumate coding skills).

<rant>

One thing I'd like to see is when someone develops a better mousetrap - or even one that works with subsequent variants of XOOPS - they include a conversion/upgrade/crossgrade script from the current popular alternative.

</rant>

For example, I've had to move from xtremguestbook to myguestbook for the reasons outlined above - however because the author has not included a 'crossgrade' script for us less-talented mortals, I've lost all entries, and that smarts when some of that content has value (yes it could be hand-replaced into a new guestbook but who has the time and the skills to replicate old datestamps etc?).

I'll keep the old db in case miracles happen. Thanks for listening :), we now return you to normal programming.

I'd like to customise the user info files, like website, ICQ, AIm etc to more meangful heading sfor my membership - however when I rename the website field (define('_US_WEBSITE','Website');) it automatically adds http:// to the field entry.

How could I remove that please?

Yep. Firstly I ran the XOOPS upgrade, and pre-loaded all the modules, including wfsection, assuming that the XOOPS upgrade would run all those scripts - seemed to except for this one.

After I deleted and then re-installed wfsection, and restored the db files, the ran the update script I got this;

Interesting sidelights. All other modules show up fine with /modules/xyz ... and show their respective index.php pages. with wfsection, the /modules/wfsection just shows blank. Manually add index.php to the address URL and bingo, up it pops! Weird.

Also, the files are there, the categories are there, but there are no articles listed in any of the categories/sections. As I think I mentioned earlier, some of it seems to have worked OK, some of it not.

I lied. It's a 33 meg sql file. Any'ow, I've done that and grabbed the bug-fixed version. The install now baulks and won't. I guess the bottom line is there is no upgrade path from a v1.3.10 edition of wfsection to the current version. Would have been nice to know that before I started . Bugger.

Thanks JackJ .. would appreciate that. Now that I've uninstalled the module, I've lost all the data - now to try and retrieve that relevant tables from a 17 meg sql file .. aaaarrgghh!

Yup, all backed up alright. It appears that the module is suspect - downloaded as v1.0.1, the bottom of the admin page says v1.0b6 and the xoops_version file says v1.02. Catzwolf's site is still down so any links to forums there are lost - says a lot about centralising everything to do with XOOPS here, doesn't it?

If re upload the articles, I'm going to lose the comments, which are probably just as important as the articles themselves.

I added an edit to the last message. Can't create or edit sections at all.

Right now I'd be happy to migrate it all to Xoops' own sections module, but I can't see how that would/could be done.

Just took the plunge and upgraded a significantly-sized site (for me) from v1.3.10 to the latest v2.0.5.1 - everything went like clockwork for the most part, and the XOOPS core and inbuilt modules transported without a hitch. Thanks guys, awesome work!

The major problem though is WF-Sections. The old v1 data is still there (I had a html box with a link to an article and that works), but the new WF-Sections (latest I could find and according to the xoops_version file it's v 1.2 - xoops_version.php,v 1.2 Date: 06/01/2003, Author: Catzwolf) it doesn't recognise the old categories, or see any of the articles.

Myphpadmin shows content;

xoops_wfs_article Browse Select Insert Properties Drop Empty 76 743.8 KB
xoops_wfs_category Browse Select Insert Properties Drop Empty 5 4.6 KB
xoops_wfs_comments Browse Select Insert Properties Drop Empty 658 181.4 KB
xoops_wfs_files Browse Select Insert Properties Drop Empty 0 1.0 KB

I can see the articles under Article Management - everything else though is blank. All files are chmod correctly but when I try and create one of the old categories under Section management nothing happens except the browser's 'done' message and a blank white screen.

Any ideas please folks??
