Thank you.

We'll see this as soon as possible. And I like the title idea too, I'll see what can be done (maybe even visibility would be nice if possible).

That's one of the new features of XOOPS 2.2

Extract from the news:
Quote:

Due to a problem with the 2.2 packages containing bad revision numbers no upgrade patch from this version will be released (it would have leaded to a situation where websites containing a fresh 2.2.1 install and upgraded ones would have contained a different set of files

More precisely: try to check for yourself all the files have changed.
I sincerely apologize for this, but the error was made during the 2.2 release, and we had to correct it (actually, the patch to update 2.0.13 to 2.2 was 500kb bigger than the full install, and I dont see any reason to reproduce this: you can do the same by downloading the full package, and renaming the file to patch.tar.gz)

XOOPS core has not and never (at least not recently) had any function called load()

Well, that's not what the /class/xoopsblock.php file of XOOPS 2.0.13 indicates.

Wardick: yes it disappeared, and it's mainly due to the fact blocks have become duplicatable, but do not have any way of being configured so "default parameters" are specified (and the load method did expect the block it was inserting to have been formerly configured in the admin).
Now the point is that it's not easy to fix, and that this particular problem does not concern many modules.
So we are going to investigate this, but can't promise the method is coming back. Maybe the solution will happen to be a future wiwimod update, with this particular feature being enhanced and using the possibilities of the new system.

As another noted, not many hosting companies are deploying PHP5. Anyone know otherwise ?

No...

But recent changes and arrivals in the development team, and the fact I had absolutely no time to dedicate to XOOPS during the latest months as opposed to what I had planned is going to make us change our plans a little.

Before requiring PHP5 this project started as a major refactoring of the XOOPS 2 core, and some of the work that has been made for it could be released as part of a future XOOPS 2.X version.
So in fact you may not have to wait for the global adoption of PHP5 by hosting companies to enjoy them.

More information will be given during the month, but we first have to prepare a few things before making public announcements: the point is that we're starting to have a real dev team for the first time, with more than just 2-3 people active simultaneously, all motivated and having ideas about different points, so we want to synchronise our minds before rushing into action.

About diagrams and things like this: One of the things that will evolve also is the methodology used to make the core. And documentation, technical diagrams, and explanations of what is being done while it's being done will be part of the game too.
So come back later this month. If you see that things are in the work, but feel unable to understand what or how, your complaints will be welcome.

The documentation site is normally available athttp://docs.xoops.org/

The xoops.org main server has been hacked recently
and the temporary unavailability of the documentation site is a consequence of this. We're still working on setting things up again, and should have something available soon.

i think i can live with the path to modul and with only rewriting the ?form_id=1

lol. One bit of code I have patched for more than 2 years and that is not in CVS yet.

Just one line to change (but the file changed between 2.0.13 and 2.2).
With a 2.0.x core:


in include/common.php, find

    if (file_exists('./xoops_version.php')) {

        $url_arr = explode('/',strstr($xoopsRequestUri,'/modules/'));

        $module_handler =& xoops_gethandler('module');



and replace $xoopsRequestUri with  $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

With 2.2.x:


in kernel/module.php (at the end of the file)

        $url_arr = explode('/',strstr($GLOBALS['xoopsRequestUri'],'/modules/'));



in that one, replace $GLOBALS['xoopsRequestUri'] with $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

and this will make your XOOPS a lot more mod_rewrite friendly

Put this in the .htaccess that is in the root of your site (or create it if necessary):


RewriteRule ^formular.php$     /modules/mymod/index.php?form_id=1   [QSA]

You may or may not want to let the [QSA] part...
Without:
formular.php?thing=stuff => index.php?form_id=1
With:
formular.php?thing=stuff => index.php?form_id=1&thing=stuff

1) New versions aren't compatible with multibyte character sets.
2) XOOPS is not an e-mail program, phpmailer is used under specific circumstances by the core, most of the time with truncated fields coming from the database.
So we will fix this, but its importance is mitigated.
3) There is a "report core bug" link on the left
