Retrieving articles from database

Hi all,

I wasn't sure where to post this, because the problem is sort of in modules but mostly in the database.

I had some problems while updating the Articles module AMS and had to delete my old tables. In doing this, naturally I lost my old articles.

I do have old backups of my Xoops database that will have these articles in them. I need to know how to open the old database and extract the data from the old AMS tables.

I am not a database guy so something simple might be nice. I have tried opening the database in Access but no luck there.


Thanks in advance,
Tim

Re: No vertical scroll bar in TinyMCE editor

Re: No vertical scroll bar in TinyMCE editor

Totally superb. Bjuti, thank you very much for your help. I have looked EVERYWHERE trying to find that. It is great when something works.

I would still love to find a good image manager - that is my next task. I will see how the TinyMCE one works. It looks like, from their site, they have a good one but you need to pay for it. Does anyone have advice on this?

Many thanks guys, I was going mad,
Tim

Re: No vertical scroll bar in TinyMCE editor

Quote:
Yup, there is. Try in tinymce config in xoopseditors.


I am not sure how to do this - I don't know what configuration needs to be changed, or how to change it. I will however go try to install the newest version and see if that has any effect.

If anyone has further clues, I would really like ot get this fixed.


Thanks,
Tim

No vertical scroll bar in TinyMCE editor

Hi all,

I installed 2.4.4 recently and I am trying to use the TinyMCE Editor. It all seems to work other than the fact that it will not give a vertical scrollbar, either in normal or fullscreen mode. I am creating fairly long documents with many graphics, so I am wearing my mouse out scrolling. Is there a solution to this?


Thanks in advance,
Tim

Re: AMS 3.0 not working

OK folks - it looks like AMS 3.0 needs PHP 5.X. I had them migrate my site to a 5.X server and the Post New Article now works.

*whew*

Re: AMS 3.0 not working

I removed AMS, losing all of my old articles, and reinstalled 3.0 and I am still getting a blank page when I try to submit an article. I would really like a fix to this, if at all possible.

I have posted asking for help aboput this - I have tried everything to get AMS 3 working and no luck. I have created topics, they appear in the dropdown, and I just get a blank page whenever I try to submit.

With debug on it gives me this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /modules/AMS/class/seo.php on line 19

Line 19 starts like this:

private function readDb($setting_type) {

$myts =& MyTextSanitizer::getInstance();
$sql = "SELECT settingvalue FROM ".$this->db->prefix('ams_setting')." WHERE settingtype='".$setting_type."'";

$result=$this->db->query($sql,1,0);
$row=$this->db->fetchRow($result);
return $row;

This has been driving me mad - any help appreciated.


Thanks,
Tim

Re: AMS 3.0 not working

Hmm, not sure if I can expect an answer for this.

I tried to post my question on their site. They ask that you post rather than email, but you have to be registered. But,

Sorry, we are currently closed for new user registrations

No problem, I will email. There is an email form, but it gives you no indication whether it sent or not.

Or, you could PM them - but yeah, you need to be logged on and of course, can't register.

EDIT - yeah I know this is a bit whiny, but there are many sites that offer many modes of communication, none of which work. It is like a call center.

Given that even when the module is working I can't get it to display a list of articles at the main page anyway, can anyone suggest a good article management module?


TIA

Re: AMS 3.0 not working

I am getting blank pages when I try to read an article or create one.

On creating one, it gives me a blank page and debug tells me this:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /modules/AMS/class/seo.php on line 19

It gives the same error (and blank page) when I try to read an existing article.


Any clues?


Thanks,
Tim

Re: v2.3.2 upgrade to 2.4.4

I took the risk and installed News 1.66 and I can now select TinyMCE.

How do I change the topic from "Unsolved"?
