... I want it to automatically create a QR Code for the page the user is viewing, giving the URL and Recipe name

I think this is what the module is intended for. The admin page is just for creating codes manually. To create codes dynamically, e.g. for a recipe module, you need to add one of the code snippets from the help pages to the PHP that drives the module template and feed in a variable, such as the Xoops URL for that recipe. The script then calls the QR code module and the QR code is displayed.

If the QR code contains just a URL, most code readers in phones will automatically load the web page in the phone browser. Of course, this will be the same web page they are viewing on their desktop PC. The Webphoto solution modifies the URL slightly to take the user to a simple page optimised for mobile browsers.

The image gallery module Webphoto also has a QR code generator. The code automatically generated for each item leads to a simple, mobile-phone friendly version of the page. From my old notes, a lot of the relevant code is in:

/xoops-secure/modules/webphoto/class/main/photo.php

It may be of some help with your project, although the coding in the Webphoto module is pretty complex (for me at least).

This sounds more like using XOOPS 2.5.5 on PHP 5.4

It may not be the issue in this case, but if you download XAMPP or similar, the default installation will install the latest version of PHP, which will normally be at least one version newer than the one most commercial hosts are actually using and probably newer than the one on which many PHP applications are being developed for.

To match your localhost PHP and MySQL versions to your online host, you can download older versions of XAMPP from here.

And we could have a translation team to add the most popular translations to the central "dictionary", the same as we would do with images.


That may be OK for generic phrases like 'Date of Birth' but not 'Breed of Dog'. I think a central dictionary would simply create a long list of phrases that nearly mean what the developer wants to say... but not quite. If you are going to have to create one custom definition, you might as well do the whole lot.

Surely the overhead of parsing module language files must be incredibly small?.

For an all-in-one solution, SiteVault gets my vote. I have recommended it several times here on XO.

If the site has no file uploads from users, I use PHPMySQLAutoBackup. This emails a compressed version of your database to your email address. It is also mentioned in this post.

It's free too.

The Xforms module is based on Liaise. It has a captcha which works with more modern versions of Xoops, sort of. See this thread. There should be a later version available now than the one I used, but I don't know if the IE9 back button issue is resolved.

Is very important to clarify this problem for two reasons:

1. To determine if XOOPS security can be improved
2. To determine the cases where this things can happend and how to prevent, even if XOOPS is not related to it.

Thankfully this was not a security issue at all. Timgno has now discovered that the host upgraded the PHP version and it temporarily broke Xoops.

If anyone is reviewing their server security, my recommendations are (still) 1) create an htaccess file entry that keeps perl off your server and 2) set up a cron job to run PhpMysqlAutoBackup every day. This enables you to have an off-site backup of any MySQL database, not just Xoops.

If you allow your Xoops users to upload files and want those backing up too, SiteVault backs up DB files and site files in one timed operation.

How can someone dictate that there's a 'right' way to feel about something? I am astonished that a site operator would refuse access to a website or submission of a form because a user's personal opinion about an issue was different than theirs.

You can respond to my post by entering the right emotion in the captcha:

a) Peekay is right. b) Peekay is wrong.

Guess which answer will allow you to post

There was a known issue with resumes a few years ago in v3.0 - see this thread. I also had a problem with the feature that allowed employers to pro-actively post a job link in response to reading a resume, in this thread.

You might want to try v4.3 RC2 directly from the developers website

Most hosts use the same directory structure when they change servers, but it may be that the physical path has changed, e.g. from:

Quote:
/var/www/oldserver/example.com/httpdocs'


to:

Quote:
/var/www/newserver/example.com/httpdocs'


If so, you will need to edit mainfile.php.

Also, it really could take up to 48 hours for the IP change to reach your local DNS server, so you may find things work properly tomorrow.
