Several questions related to the 2.0.7 upgrade, which should be re-released soon:

1. How difficult will it be to upgrade from 2.0.5 to 2.0.7? I never installed the 2.0.6 upgrade because (a) I've been too busy to mess with it (I customized a lot of the files to adjust things like the width of text areas, and I'd have to go back and re-do all of those changes), and (b) I remembered the 2.0.4 debacle and really didn't need that much stress in my life. Hopefully I'll have enough time to deal with an upgrade if there's a clear path from 2.0.5 to 2.0.7

2. How many known issues are there with 2.0.7? (Again, thinking back to the 2.0.4 nightmares....)

3. Is there a list somewhere of the major changes?

Wow. Great hack!

Hope this gets adopted into the core. It's very useful, especially if you have someone abusing the site.

Right, but we want to avoid that. What we're doing is sending them to user.php, which displays a login page if the user isn't already logged in.

*bump*

Sweet. Worked like a charm! Thanks!

Now, if I could only figure out how to get that control panel link to work on the user.php page...

Quote:

Yeah. No effect.

Okay. I'll give that a go. Thanks!

It sounds like you're talking about the login block. We're not using the block (we're just sending them to use.php) because we want it to look primarily like a static website, but give a few people the ability to log in with a (semi) subtle link.

1. I'm working on a support site and one of the things included is hosting. What I want to be able to do is on the login page include a link to the control panels. I have modified the /modules/system/templates/system_userform.html file to include the link, but my changes never, ever show up. I've tried emptying the templates_c directory, clearing the cache, everything. Still, no dice. Any advice?

2. In the NEWS module, I really want to get rid of the "| 2335 bytes more | Comments?" text that appears below the story synopses on the main news page. I can't for the life of me figure out where that is located to nuke. Can someone help me with that one, too?

Thanks!

Something else that occurred to me that would probably be good with this is to have the users automatically redirected to this page upon successfully logging in. How easy is that to do? The more I think about it, the more I think I might be able to accomplish most or all of this by doing some moderate hacking of the Account Info files.

This may not be the best place to post this, but it seems possibly appropriate.

I am looking for what would probably be a module used to track customer account information. We do basic design work (print ads, logo design, websites) and DTP, and most (if not all) of our customers like to be able to look at their sites on-line. What we want to do is have a page that would display specific information for that customer only. Mostly what we want to do is have a page that would in one place give them links to their current drafts (either a server directory or a link to a PDF if it's a print project), links to their hosting control panels, and possibly a brief text message from us related to the status of ongoing projects.

Obviously, we don't want just the general public to see everyone's stuff, nor (for that matter) everyone with a registered account. (A couple of our clients are competitors, so that would be bad for obvious reasons.) So, for that reason, it all has to be linked to the person's account. And we'd like to keep it within XOOPS (since that's what we are going to be doing the new site under) for a consistent look.

Is there an existing module like this, or a better way that I'm just not thinking of?

(What I'm thinking might work is a mild hack of the Account Info--currently part of the system, I believe--that could run side-by-side with the Account Info page.)
