3) Post as anonymous - good idea?... bad idea?

Personally, I can't see the virtue of a registered user being able to post some caustic comment without it being linked to his/her ID. But am I missing something? Could this feature be useful?


The only time I've seen this to be a useful feature is when I setup an intranet for a company that then had to make a large portion of its staff redundant. I then had to setup a forum where employees were able to post "as anonymous" to protect their identities from management when certain "sensitive" issues were discussed.

Management never knew that the ID was linked to the post anyway and this allowed several issues to be discussed openly (i.e. management sucked).

Posting "as anonymous" is not the same as anonymous users posting. The former requires a user to be registered to able to post with the difference being that the username is not displayed against the forum post (which I think you knew about Peekay).

HTH.

Cheers.

Hi there.

Could you help me write a mssql class moduel just like the mysql.php one?


If only it were that simple. This will not be sufficient as XOOPS still generates incorrect SQL statements (mainly due to the Criteria core class) that makes it incompatible with MSSQL unless this is fixed as well. This means hacking the core which is never a good idea.

Also, I am under a heavy load of work from paying clients and just cannot volunteer any time to look at this.

Hopefully someone else will be able to help here.

Cheers.

Hi.

AFAIK xcGallery does not integrate with Xoop's Image Manager.

This sounds like a mySQL configuration problem. I would recommend you google: mySQL error 1033 for anwsers.

I would also recommend you get in touch with your host asap and ask if anything has changed on mySQL on your box.

This might be trickier to do than you might suspect as there are specific areas in XOOPS that are geared towards mySQL's SQL syntax, specifically in regards to the Criteria and CriteriaCompo classes that generate SQL LIMIT statements that are specific to mySQL only.

In other words, even if you manage to write a database driver for MSSQL (not difficult on its own), you may find that this is still not sufficient.

Sorry for the bad news.

Cheers.

The site is on SUrpass HOsting


I know that Surpass has recently switched to PHPsuexec on most of their servers so I wonder if this issue relates to that.

This happens if you have any directories which are set to permission 777 or have .htaccess files that employ php configuration directives.

Check directory owner flags, specifically on cache and template_c.

Hope this is relevant.

Cheers.

Xoops currently works under mySQL only.

You can try to get it to work under MSSQL buy writing a MSSQL database class in Xoops/classes/database.

You will need to wrap that in PHP. IE

<div id="randomquote">
<p><?php $xoopsDB =& Database::getInstance();
$sql="select texto,autor from ".$xoopsDB->prefix("xoops_citas");
$result = $xoopsDB->query($sql) ; list($texto,$autor)=$xoopsDB->fetchRow($result);
echo "Quote&#65306;".$texto;
echo "Author ".$autor; ?>
<p> <BR>
</p>
</div>


HTH.

I know this doesn't help much in this situation but....

I've never had performance issues with XOOPS sites that were directly related to Xoops. I've ran dozens of these during the past four years.

All my slowdowns were related to the server and the server not having adequate resources to deal with these requests. Often other users on shared hosting run intensive scripts that bring down all users. This used to happen often on shared serves, many of which are very over-subscribed.

My point is, there is always a point where the cheap $1.99 per year hosting deal will never be able to deal with your site as there are probably hundreds of similar sites on the same box chewing up dwindling resources. No amount of XOOPS tuning will help after a certain point and IMHO XOOPS is pretty optimised as it is.

You only solution would be bite the bullet and find a better provider or invest in a better hosting package.

Cheers.
