Re: new site!

Interesting. I'm not familiar with RC cars but I know there is a large crowd that is. The traffic will come if the content is interesting enough. You want to tailor the content to the targeted audience. I don't know if your audience is more local or wide spread. You'll want to keep an eye on performance as traffic increases. Too much uncached items like stats can slow things down when you get busy.

One of my siteshttp://spda-online.ca is a car site focused on Subarus and a more local (Ontario/Quebec) crowd. We are a tight knit group that races in low budget grassroots racing. So we're not so much into bling or gossip but XOOPS is still great for either kind of car site.

Good luck.

Re: Redirects in XOOPS (RE: Multiple log in requests)

There has been lots of discussion of this subject. I hope there will eventualy be more flexibility in future versions (like SSL in specified areas).

What I do is use .htaccess (Apache). I use a mainfile.php setting without the www.

example:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.ca$
RewriteRule .*http://domain.ca/$1 [R=301,L]

On mine I add all the other domains and variations that also point to my site. This way people come in in any way but are redirected to the configured URL before getting logged in.

Re: Add padding to images from image manager?

I have the habit of adding white space to the image itself. That solves the problem for me until there is a system/css preference for this.

For the other problem it helps to learn a few of the common codes and just type them directly instead of using the editor buttons. Also much faster than grabbing the mouse all the time.

Re: link in same window

If you use the normal < a href="xxxxx"> xxxx < /a> instead of [ url ] you can control where it opens (default is in the same window).

Re: Removing template_c permanently?

Quote:
When I make changes to the templates of a module however I need to update the module to see the effects of the changes. I should check again perhaps, but I remember using the option in the admin general settings to update template files from directory only applied to the themes folder...


Yes, templates_c is only for compiled templates which also includes theme files. The System setting for updating themes will cover theme changes without having to clear templates_c. Template changes are a different story.

I avoid updating modules as much as possible. There are always changes to some settings back to default and I have to run around putting my settings back. What I do is to work directly off the cloned templates via System/Templates. Granted the templates editor is ugly but I copy/paste between the default editor and a local editor to make it easier and cleaner. Changes to templates are shown right away (within any caching timeouts that might be in place).

Re: Removing template_c permanently?

Then you're doing it the wrong way. For theme changes there is a System Preferences setting to update the templates_c when any changes are made to the theme's html files (css changes don't require this setting).

For template changes I find it much easier to clone the default template set and work directly off the clone set. No module updating required.

You can lower or shut off caching of blocks and modules while working on them so that changes are seen right away. Don't forget to turn the caching back on and to set the Preferences back to optimum when finished.

Re: Legend - AARRGGG

I think he is referring to the < fieldset > tag. xoops.org and several themes use the tag for the center columns. That is usually (not in any module code) done in the theme and is easily changed for other presentation methods.

Re: Xoops 2.2 release ?

Will there be any bug fixes for 2.0.10 in case some folks can't upgrade for a time? It sounds like 2.2 will be a major upgrade requiring some maintenance on 2.0 for a while.

Re: Getting Spammed through contactus module LOL!!!

I don't understand the panic over the occasional contact form spam. If the process of spamming isn't automated then it won't happen too often. I too have seen a few of them but it is rare. I'd likely upset real users if I forced image security just for a simple contact form. Other functions could benefit from higer security but the contact form is supposed to be easy. Forms are still much better than publishing email addresses.

Re: Is multiple xoops on one domain possible?

I don't remember that thread. You didn't provide a link, I'm not searching for it since I don't have a problem doing sub domains. If I had seen the thread when it was active I might have commented and helped.

However, the sub domains are not the problem with newbb2 or pical. I've setup many sub domains (xoops and other) and know that it simply works. One server doesn't know about the other and is no different than being on different machines. done right of course.

Can't say what your problem was/is but for sure you can run basic sub domains that don't share any files without issue.
