Permissions seem to be fine. The modules are in the right directory. I checked that first. Just to be double-sure, though, I changed the name of the "contact" module, which I haven't installed yet and which is in the same directory as the others which are not showing up, to "contact-new", and, when I refreshed the admin/modules page, it disappeared! Seems to me it should still have shown up in the uninstalled modules section, but it didn't.

This sounds like a bug to me, but what do I know? I do know, though, that I have a lot of work to do, and I am stuck and stumped. Do the developers monitor this board?

No. Nothing at all.

I installed XOOPS 2.0.7.3 and then uploaded some modules, including wfsections, to the xoops/modules directory. When I go to Admin/Modules, the modules are not showing up to be installed. Has something changed in 2.0.7.3 regarding this procedure? What did I not do? I'm stuck.

Thanks.

I just manually installed XOOPS 2.0.7.3 on my new host account because I tried to install via Fantastico, and it didn't appear to install correctly, but the same thing happened via the manual install. This same problem occurred with 2 other host accounts--one which used Auto Install from cpskins.com and the other used Fantastico.

The problem is that the modules--news, contact, forums, etc.--are not installed. Going to the Admin Menu and clicking on System Admin/Modules, I see that all of the modules are listed but uninstalled.

What could be causing this problem? Is this the way that XOOPS is installed, now, and we have to install all of the modules manually, or what?

If I create a XOOPS test site and get it exactly like I want with all of the modules, etc., like I want them, then could I copy this site and database for use on multiple sites and, if so, how?

Thanks.

I have been playing with 2.06 for several months now and am fairly familiar with it. I just moved to a new server which is offering 2.07 via their script installer - not Fantastico.

Please look at this page and tell me what is wrong. The admin panel is backwards, and the home page is not right, either. This is spooky!

Now, either 2.07 has changed drastically, and not for the better, or this is a faulty install. I'm thinking most certainly the latter. Please take a look and let me know what you think.

If you decide to change anything, please remember that others may be looking, too.

I am looking at several different modules like WF-Section, XF-Section, C-Jay Content, Free Content, etc., and am going into info-overload. In order to flatten the learning curve a little, I would appreciate any information about these--especially the first 2--which would help me to know how they should be used, how you are using them, in what situations one may be better than the others, and so on.

Any information at all, no matter how slight, will be genuinely appreciated. A lot of little puzzle pieces add up to bigger pieces!

I posted this in the Q&A forum with no luck, so on the chance that Q&A might have been the wrong place, I am reposting it here. I will very much appreciate any ideas.

All of a sudden, the News module formatting is not right. Here is a small jpg which reveals the problem:

It should look like this:

The problem is shown using the phpkaox theme but occurs with other themes as well. I enabled PHPDebug and the following appears at the bottom of the window when I click on "News", but the lines occur with other modules, too. No error message appears at the top of the News page:

I've been experimenting with XOOPS now for about a month and really like it. Thanks to all, including module and theme developers! This is an amazing suite of applications.

I have a little situation, though: I have nuked my test installations twice now. My record is perfect--installed 2, nuked 2. The first time, I was installing and playing around with themes and templates, and the "Upload" link in the Template Set Manager disappeared never to be heard from again. Everything else in this installation seems to be working, though.

So, I created a second installation and installed some modules. This time, I was working with MyAds 2.04 in, if I recall correctly, the "Add Listing" menu, and hit the "Back" browser button a couple of times.

The "This is your first time to enter the admin section. Press..." (it wasn't the first time, of course) page displayed, and, when I clicked the "Continue" button, I got the "Loggin in" screen for a second or two, and then it went back to the "First time" screen. While the login screen was being displayed, there was a small notice "failed to open file" displayed in the upper left hand corner of the page right before it cycled back to the "First time" page. Bottom line is I can't access the admin section at all.

(FYI: I had the "Home Page" and "Admin Section" both opened at the same time in separate windows. Maybe this isn't such a good idea?)

I can't imagine what could have cause this and am now a little gun shy about going public with a site--should I ever get it ready.

A couple of questions:
1. Any ideas what may have happened and how I might avoid it in the future?

2. How do I protect the site from "oops's" like this? Must I back up the entire site, just the database, or what?

All suggestions gratefully received.
