hmmm - I think it is possible but i can't say how. I vaguely recall some posting about that question some time ago - perhaps a google search will give you better results than a XOOPS search on that one... If you are trying to use the one database for two sites just as they come no doubt that is why there is a problem. There is probably some tweaking you need to do - trying to think of key words that might help your search - XOOPS multisites, multiple XOOPS sites...??? Hopefully someone will read this and go I know!

aha!! Upgrade to 2.0.16 - lots changed from 2.0.13

Re articles import: Import/Export:
The module provides conversion scripts with other XOOPS content module.
Import from other modules to article:

Fast reply? You just caught me at the right time

More information is needed - XOOPS version, set up, what did you find in searching the site and FAQ to try for yourself?

Have you gone into phpmyadmin and completed a check and repair on the database you created for your site?

See this FAQ for check and repair of database

perhaps your host server is causing some problems - what did the host service say?

I had asked this question and was advised not to try to do what you are doing - I would suggest you take a look at phppp's article 1 module. He has designed it so we can upgrade wfsections I think. Sorry i can't help with what is going wrong specifically with the import.

Hmmm...lets see if we can clarify this: (Note - i have not installed this module myself but this is how I interpret these instructions)

If you already have a XOOPS database:
1. Use normal download and unzip procedures for the module.
2. USE FTP to UPLOAD and CREATE PHOTO STORAGE DIRECTORY
2a.Name change: You can rename xg2 to anything you like except pre-existing names. Expand the XoopsGallery2 module in the modules folderand change to a name of your choice.

2b.Create a directory (folder)called 'xg2data' for the gallery data. It is highly recommended that the directory be *outside* the website root
Directory location example
i. /server/html/ <-- server root
ii. /server/xg2data <-- suggested location for gallery data
iii. Can be anywhere you want, really!

2c. Make the data storage directory accessible by the web server group - look at the folder permissions via your ftp and make sure this is what is included
Example (*nix/*bsd):
i. Web server group is called 'apache'
ii. Your name is 'user'
iii. chown -R user:apache /server/xg2data
iv. chmod 774 /server/xg2data/*


3. Initialise GALLERY 2 (it is unclear if 3b should be completed before or after 3b)
3a. To Initialize Gallery2 Go to www.yourdomain.com/modules/yourgalleryname/engine/install:
Follow the instructions!
3b. Open a plain text editor and create an empty file called config.php This is your 'authorization text file' refered to in the next step.
3c. Upload theauthorization text file to the gallery2 directory /server/path/to/html/modules/yourgalleryname/engine
3d. Make the empty engine/config.php file writable by the webserver. Change permissions to 777 for config.php or at least 666 for write ability.

4. INSTALL XoopsGallery MODULE
Like any XOOPS module
4a. go to administration section and install the module from available modules
4b. change the preferences to fit your server settings (My guesses should be correct, *should*)
4c. create at least the main menu block to show up on the gallery page.
4d. go to the admin menu of the gallery module and click on the Export me link


5. Test it out:
5a. Go to the XoopsGallery2 module and see if you can admin the gallery. I suggest using the XOOPS theme, not perfect but works for me. Also you can edit the gallery2 XOOPS theme to suit your needs. If so then you have the option of changing the /module/yourgalleryname/engine/config.php file to be a embed only install
This is recommended after everything works the way you want.
5b. If something doesnt work correctly, you can login to gallery2 directly (if you didn't follow b above)

If you do not have a XOOPS database do this first:

You will need to have one ready prior to the Gallery2 initialization
you will need hostname (localhost if on same server), database name, user access name and password.
Follow the Gallery2 install instructions, they work!

Well I did think it wierd yesterday that all posts on the forum had been marked as read when I logged in - I hadn't been here for a week so that had me mystified - but it is working good today...

Hi - have been on holidays - try this for starters:

New users should always checkout the following:
1. Documentation - linked on the left. Specifically the administration manual
2. The FAQ section - linked on the left - specifically the sections on gloassry, beginners first steps, modules, blocks and themes. There are links to visual tutorials here.
3. The search function on the top right.
Please check also the read B4U post link below if you have problems.

Hi

You can use XOOPS core plus userpage module - not sure about the blog interface - but with turning on/off the right blocks you could do well with it. There is also a weblog module. What you might consider is a local install of XOOPS using a program called wamp5 to experiment with.

I guess you can try any number of the article modules - a blog afterall is an article - and most article modules allow you to organise categories and insert images.
