Re: customise module URL

Thanks for the reply.

So I suppose the best way would be to scan all the files prior to installation of the module.

Search for and replace the pre-set xoops_version.php dirname value. e.g: "$modversion['dirname']='modulefolder'"

Search the module files for 'modulefolder' text string, then replace (one by one) with personalised text to customise URL - then install.

Bascially, search and replace the module files for the hard-coded folder name and update prior to install.

what do you think?

customise module URL

I'd like to customise a module's URL.

Is it simply a matter of changing the module folder name and editing the xoops_version.php file to match before installation? Or are there other database considerations...

How do you customise a module's URL?

Re: Help find Japanese language packs !

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

To get Japanese language support for XOOPS, you don't need to install the full Japanese XOOPS version.

All you need are the Japanese language files (system and module) you can download it from the link above.

BTW, The language pack is in EUC-JP encoding.

For multi-language switching, I'm using the multi-language hacks by GI-JOE (allows multi-language mark-up tags for XOOPS content) and that other language switcher module (switches core language). They're great! working perfectly.

My site uses UTF-8 (go UTF-8!) while the Japanese language pack uses EUC-JP encoding. I've created a UTF-8 version of the Japanese language pack for smooth compatibility with my site, let me know if you'd like it, I could zip it and post a link here.

all the best in your multi-lingual missionings

David.

move XOOPS to a new URL

Hi there,

Do you know if it's possible to change the main XOOPS site URL? (i.e the one that appears in the browser address bar)

I installed XOOPS in a test/beta phase underhttp://www.hyogoajet.org/content

Now that it's tested and working, I'd like to move it to the root directory www.hyogoajet.org

Is it as simple as copying the files to the root directory and changing the XOOPS_URL in mainfile.php or are there other steps involved?

Re: Remove (Module File for Not Found!)

This may also happen if you're using Frontpage to edit your site.

Frontpage automatically creates folders with the prefix _vti_cnf (or something like that!)

I don't really know what the purpose of those folders is (maybe some backup thingy) they basically just store a copy of the top folder contents in a subfolder. I'm sure someone else could elaborate...

To cut a long story short, open your site in an FTP program (I like FileZilla) and delete the _VTI_cnf folders. I did it - no side effects.

the downside, if you keep using Frontpage to edit your site, it will 'helpfully' create these folders for you again.

cheers,

David.

Re: Double Login

Re: Double Login

It may be a conflict problem between the registered XOOPS Site URL and your browsers actual URL at logon time.

There's a setting in mainfile.php where you define your site URL. If your URL at logon doesn't match the defined XOOPS Site URL you may have to logon twice (it redirects you to the defined XOOPs Site URL.

For example, if you try to logon to your site athttp://www.mysite.org instead ofhttp://mysite.org (the registered address) it may cause a double login.

i.e You have to logon from the same address as the one registered with XOOPS.

If you check your Site URL setting in mainfile.php and check the URL you're at when you login, you may solve the problem,

I might be wrong.

Another idea is the referrer URL. If you are redirected to get to your sites main page, try entering the main page URL directly in the address bar and see if you can login properly from that page (without going via the redirection)
If so, bookmark that address and use it for admin purposes.

does this help?

David.

Adding a print feature to ARMS article management module

Hi there,

Does anyone know if its possible to add a 'print this page', or similar, link to the ARMS article management module?

I notice the Articles Management for XOOPs module has a print feature so the user can view a printer-friendly page to print. It would be great if this could be implemented in ARMS.

Has anyone had any experience of this?

Re: Showing Random Images On TopPage Using MyAlbumP?

Hi there, it's certainly possible.

You can see an example on my site :
Hyogo AJET It's a site for English teachers in Japan.

Basically, the random image option comes as a MyAlbum-P block called 'Pic Up Photo' You'll need to make it visible in Admin>System>Blocks and also set group permissions to view the block in Admin>System>Groups.

Moreover, if you click the 'edit' link in Admin>System>Blocks you can set the Category you'd like to display photos from and choose whether to include sub-categories or not. You can also set the maximum width for the image and the change-cycle of the image in seconds.

I like MyAlbum-P

hope this helps,

David Thomas.
