I have several modules I'm using in my XOOPS site and wish for it to be crawled by the search engines but do not want any of the search engines to crawl specifically the content module only. Can I use the following and add it to the robot.txt file to prevent the content module (only) from being crawled and indexed?

Disallow: /modules/content/

Thanks up front . . .

Hmmmmmm, I don't have a permissions tab. Not quite sure what's up with that Durator. Oh well. it seems everything is working fine as it so. Thanks for the reply though, maybe I'll reinstall soon.

Thanks Durator, now I know I'm not crazy. lol

Regarding your suggestion, would you mind pointing me in the right direction to set the upload directory permissions to refuse everything? I'll look for it myself in the meanwhile.


Edit:
I fixed it by going into that file name above and removed the allow_attachments from the line

if ($forum->getVar('allow_attachments') && $topic_handler->getPermission($forum, $topic_status, 'attach')) {

this removed the text box and browse button from the form completely.

--------------

I also did this for the popnupblog by removing the code . . .

// File upload By Yoshi.Sakai, bluemooninc.biz 2004/3/14
//
if (is_object($xoopsUser)){
echo "</td></tr><tr><td class='head' valign='top' nowrap='nowrap'>Upload File</td>\n";
echo "<td class='even'><INPUT TYPE='hidden' NAME='MAX_FILE_SIZE' VALUE='maxbyte'>";
if ($BlogCNF['maxbyte']>=1000000){
$maxbyte_str = sprintf("%d M",$BlogCNF['maxbyte']/1000000);
} elseif ($BlogCNF['maxbyte']>=1000){
$maxbyte_str = sprintf("%d K",$BlogCNF['maxbyte']/1000);
} else {
$maxbyte_str = sprintf("%d ",$BlogCNF['maxbyte']);
}
echo "<INPUT type='file' size='50' name='upfile'> Max".$maxbyte_str."Byte.";
}
// upload end.

from the file /popnupblog/edit.php

here is hoping that everything still works ok. lol It shouldn't create a problem though.

I'm using newbb 2.02 with upgrade of cbb 2.3 in XOOPS version 2.2.3a. I only installed the whole set up about 3 weeks ago and love it by the way but I admit that I am a newbie to XOOPS and portals in general.

I looked for that option all through the module and in preferences >> newbb module something like 4 or 5 times but didn't see one.

I just double checked to make sure and still don't see anything. I'm assuming it should be in preferences >> newbb module?

I have an... Attachments physical path - uploads/newbb but that's all I see that has anything to do with attachements other than... Enable Media Features which I have tuned off.

Is it possible to turn off the option to upload attachments or can I possibly remove some code thus removing that portion of the form all together.

My ultimate goal is to NOT allow attachemnts to be uploaded by anyone, whether they are registered or not. I would feel better if I could simply remove this part of the form completely. I have looked through the code but can only find one place that could accomplish this.

file:

newbb/include/forumform.inc.php

code:

$forum_form->addElement($options_tray);

if ($forum->getVar('allow_attachments') && $topic_handler->getPermission($forum, $topic_status, 'attach')) {
$forum_form->addElement(new XoopsFormFile(_MD_ATTACHMENT, 'userfile',''));
$forum_form->addElement(new XoopsFormLabel(_MD_ALLOWED_EXTENSIONS, "<i>".str_replace('|',' ',$forum->getVar('attach_ext'))."</i>"));
}

Would deleting this do it and the forum continue to work as it should ?

Finally found the answer to the problem after doing a search on yahoo for future newbies . . .

in preferences >> mail setup

Mail delivery method: use the PHP Mail()


Have a great day!

Polite Bump and Update

I've posted on the liaise boards and a good point was brought up. I am not receiving notification for new registration / users via email either. Since this is going on and it seems that the email was not working for formulaire, liaise, or recommend the site; that tells me that the problem is in XOOPS somewhere. I have verified the email address everywhere I can think of and search the XOOPS site for any hints to help out and followed the advice or instruction, I'm using the sendmail option in preferences >> mail setup to keep it simple but I'm not getting anywhere and experienced suggestions would be great.

I am using XOOPS 2.2.3a and Formulaire 3.23. Everything seems to work great thus far except that when I test the form and send an email, it does show in modules >> formulaire >> modify >> List of sendings but it does not actually send the email to my inbox.

I have double checked my email address in preferences >> system >> general settings and formulaire >> modify >> parameters. I have checked "Send to the admin only" in the parameters. Is there anything else I am missing or any suggestions would be great.

Edit:

I just checked the recommend module and that isn't sending the email to my inbox either.

I have XOOPS protector installed and I remembwr seeing a warning that some modules would not work correctly with it installed. Could this be the problem?

Edit again:

I just read an entry that was posted after my install that formulaire is not compatible with XOOPS 2.2.3. I uninstalled and installed Liaise which is doing the same thing.

Thanks bunches . . .

I found the problem for future reference for newbies.
