There is a solution to it in this thread.

Be forewarned however that if what you are linking to is not 'integrated' into the XOOPS framework (meaning that it is a php page with the XOOPS header and footer included) everything 'xoops' will disappear when the link is clicked.

They probably won't get much help keeping their site password protected though

Went to go look at it and it asked me for user id and pass word like I was ftp'ing to it.

This can be done, although it is sort of a three or four part problem. PM me, I'll help you set it up.
It's going to require creating the 'other' html page and integrating it into xoops...doing some 'sly' stuff in the admin area to keep the 'wrapped' page out of the menu's, and probably a few other things.

Getting their website to work...is that considered 'help'?

hmmm...that seems odd...

Anyway, which version of XOOPS are you using?

I've seen some other threads saying that it doesn't work with 2.2 versions...only the 2.0 versions for now.

The user name and the password of the database are probably different than it used to be...

for example, with one of my hosts, the user name is simply the username, but with another host, the user name is my login id for the service and the user name.

1st host: dbuser
2nd host: adrock_dbuser

same goes for the db password...

check any documentation your host may have on their phpMyAdmin set-up, or call them and ask for the correct format to use for the user and pass when accessing the DB


Good Luck! and happy xoopsing!

cool

yeah...deleting thwe contents of the templates_c folder is always a good idea when moving things or making config changes. (something I quite often forget to do and mention)

anyway...glad it worked and the site didn't 'die' a miserable death

If it was me, I'd use a text editor and my SQL dump of the users.

If you do a dump of an 'active' user, and compare that to the table data of the inactive users...you could do a 'find and replace' of the specific text in the data dump. Replacing the field indicators that show 'inactive' with 'active'.

This will probably be the difference between a 1 and a 0 or something equally as minute or similar.

After I get home...I can extract a couple of 'visual' examples from my dtatabse and hopefully make it easier to understand what I am blathering about

cPanel also has cron jobs that you can set up to run.

That will back up specific directories, like /modules or whatever.

Many people here use the cron jobs to back up the enitre site on a schedule...like daily at midnight....
I use backpack by bluemoon to do my DB backups daily...

Essentially, you want to back up whatever it is you are going to replace or alter. So, as an example, if you have NewBB 1.01 installed, and plan to upgrade to NewBB 2.0 or 2.02...you'd definately want to back up the current NewBB module files and all of the NewBB database info.

As for the IPB users....
are they IPB users from a stand alone IPB install, or are they IPB users from the IPB port into xoops?
Are you trying to make them active IPB users or active XOOPS users?
Are you syncing their posts etc after having imported it all into an XOOPS BB or what?

that ought to do it...however tyou may need to update various modules once you have done it, as there are some moduels that check the path structure of the main file when installing...and they will generate errors now that the structure has changed. xcGal does that...

Let us know if you come across any other modules that are 'unhappy' about it as well

I'm still not clear as to what is trying to be accomplished.
Blocks are essentially designated areas for content to be filled with pre-designated information (that is stored in the database)
If you want it to pop-up in a new window...then it won't be a block...it will be a seperate file that needs to be created.
If you want a page that doesn't have the block to show the block when you click on something, then you will need to duplicate the module and set different display proterties with regard to the blocks that are shown on that page for the duplicate.

ie: News page with block a, b, and c being displayed, and a link on the page that says "click here for block 'd'"

that link would be to a duplicate news page with block a, b, c and d set to appear on it.

Am I getting close?

did you back anything up before 'upgrading'?

Files or database?

I don't think there were any database changes between 2.2.2 and 2.2.3...so all you need to do is un-replace all the files that were replaced in the 2.2.3 upgrade.
