Strange folder in uploads directory, whats it for?

Hi, yesterday I noticed a strange folder within my XOOPS uploads directory the folder had this name: 217540478441ce2b121575

The folder was empty so i deleted it but now when i checked its back again it seems to have created itself or someone else has created it, it has permissions of 777

Anyone know what this might be? is it someone hacking my site and putting it there?

Thanks for your help,

I am on XOOPS 2.0.13.2, apache, php 4

Cheers.

Hi, I really like your profiles module, I will gladly test it for you.

I already use the beta version on my site you can see it here: http://mjtkop.com/home/modules/profiles/

A feature I would like is the ability to put profiles into categories, musicians, producers, directors, etc.

Thanks for your great work on this module.

Hi, thanks for your reply. I actually never continued with the module, no one replied until today and all i had done was basically clone it anyway, I dont know anything about coding, a short while after I found a clone of the smartsection module HERE

All I needed was some type of article module to post the video embed code into my site so the cloned smartsection was ideal for me, I altered the language files a bit changing article to video to suit my needs you can see it in action on my site HERE

That part of my site has been very popular, it would be great if someone could make a proper module for embedding video codes from the likes of you tube and google or perhaps someone would have a try and creating something using you tubes API (i dont know what API means, lol)

There developer section is HERE.

A module using youtube API's would be cool I think, I had a look around and I couldnt find anyone using youtube API's in this manner, as I dont really understand what API is I am not sure exactly what you can do but I assume you can create an application to display you tube videos onto another website.

I will perhaps post a request into the mod request forum soon.

Thanks.

question to xoops/sql expert about xcgal db table

Hi,

in the past 4 days or so the xcgal_pictures table has crashed, which means in the user side it doesnt show any pictures as if the gallery was empty. The problem is easily fixed by reparing the DB but I would like to know why this is happening, I recently moved to a VPS with my host(surpass) and this problem has only occured since then.

5 minutes ago it happened again this is what I got when I checked the DB
Quote:

Checksum for key: 5 doesn't match checksum for records
error : Corrupt

Here is my system info:

Xoops version 2.0.13.2
Operating system Linux
Apache version 1.3.34 (Unix)
PHP version 4.4.1
MySQL version 4.1.18-standard

I have over 12,000 pictures in the gallery could that be too much? Surely not.

Thanks for your help.

I take it your inserting an image from the XOOPS imagemanager? One way of doing what you want is this, isert your image as normal then remove the [ img ][ /img ] tags and place the url of the image inside html tags:


<img src="http://yoursite.com/uploads/img1234.jpg" align="left" hspace="10" vspace="10">

The hspace="10" part makes the the text basically 10 pixels away from the image. you can change the attributes within the code to suit your own needs.

Remember to enable html when posting your news.

Hope this helps.

Re: Google indexing module description - not site description

Now dont qoute me on this as I am no expert but unexpected T_STRING could mean something like missing '' apostrophes I know this from when I tried to clone a module and i got the same thing when i checked xoops_version i noticed the missing ' and when I put it in it was fine.

So it should read something like $modversion['description'] = 'All the latest news from my website';

About the other one I am not too sure, I will use news02(clone) as an example

News02 xoops_version.php


$modversion['description'] = _MI_02_NEWS_DESC;

I know theres no '' in that maybe cos its a constant and not text not sure.

News02 modinfo.php


// A brief description of this module

define('_MI_02_NEWS_DESC','Creates a Slashdot-like news section, where users can post news/comments.');

So you would just change the description text inbetween the ''

Dont know if this will be much help to you but ive changed some language files before to suite my own needs and thats all i have done is change text in the langauge files and it seems to work fine.

The module description is usually in the modules xoops_version.php file look for


$modversion['description'] =

Although if it looks something like this:


$modversion['description'] = _MI_NEWS_DESC;

Then the actuall description text is probably in the language files langauge/english/modinfo.php or langauge/english/main.php

Hope this helps you out

I also host with surpass, jsut moved to a VPS from shared with them, I had noticed that the liase form did not dispaly correctly either on my site it was an old version though as soon as I upgraded to a new version it worked fine, and I've not noticed any other major problems, especially with modules that need write access to directories.

I had noticed in WHM there is a function to disable PHPsuexec but I dont have a clue about these things so I just left it well alone.
