I recently upgraded to 2.0.13.1 and discovered that after the upgrade I was no longer able to edit my custom templates in the Template Set Manager. Attempts to edit returned the following error:

Selected template (ID: $id) does not exist

I discovered this while attempting to tweak one of the system templates. Updating the system module did not help.

As a workaround, I cloned my custom template set (which itself was a clone of the default set). The cloned templates were then editable. However, the cloning operation produced two copies of each custom template within the new template set. I went through and deleted one duplicate of each, then assigned the cloned set as the default for the site. The site appears to perform normally.

Has anyone else experienced this problem, and is there a patch/better workaround available?

Thanks,

Bela

The problem most likely has to do with your session_expire variable. I had the same issue. Solution in this thread.

Hi Xoopsers,

We've just launched a new Xoops-powered humor site, Avant News. Avant News is a satirical news site featuring political, social and technological commentary in the form of humorous news reports transmitted from an indeterminate future. Uses customized versions of the News module, Spotlight & Tiny Content, and we think it looks rather snazzy.

Any feedback on appearance, functionality, navigation and content would be most welcome. Please pay us a visit:

This thread may be getting a little elderly, but I am curious as to whether anyone has continued to look into developing a Mediawiki module for xoops. I would be quite interested, if so.

InternetAdSales.com Announces Beta Launch of IAS Media Marketplace athttp://www.internetadsales.com/modules/mediamarketplace

New Website Listing Service Connecting Commercial Web Publishers with Online Advertisers

The IAS Media Marketplace is carefully designed to connect independent web publishers with potential online advertisers. This searchable, sortable database of commercial websites with available advertising inventory allows advertisers to quickly identify websites that match their target audience and demographic needs, desired traffic levels, media requirements and budget, and conveniently get in touch with site owners to request more information or a quote. The IAS Media Marketplace is not an advertising network, in that we do not negotiate deals or handle ad serving or payment processing. Rather, we strive to place a diverse spectrum of independent publisher inventory in front of advertiser eyeballs in an efficient and user-friendly manner. Internet Ad Sales does not charge any commission for advertising inventory purchases made through the IAS Media Marketplace.

This Xoops-based service is built on an extensively modified version of the MyLinks module, customized with the addition of numerous new fields intended to streamline the site selection process for potential advertisers. Sites are categorized and sortable according to a number of new criteria specific to the profiles of commercial web publishers with available banner inventory.

During our beta-testing and rollout phase, all web publishers who submit a new web property will, if accepted, remain permanently listed at no charge. Following the testing and rollout phase, newly submitted sites will incur a low annual fee for listing.

We encourage all web publishers that carry advertising or sponsorships on their sites to take advantage of the testing phase to submit their sites for a free, permanent listing. Registration is required for submission.

I changed the data type from text to medium text in a couple fields to accomodate longer articles. Have a look at this thread:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=17384&forum=4

I changed the bodytext field to mediumtext in xoops_stories for the News module, and the maintext field in xoops_wfs_article to mediumtext in WFSection. Seems to work just fine.

Hi reynaldo,

Any luck with this yet?

Hi Reynaldo,

No, I'm pretty sure that's not it. No wonky html in my templates, as far as I can tell. But I just took another look at mainfile.php and realized that I must have changed the "virtual path to xoops" setting to "http://www.internetadsales.com" from "http://internetadsales.com" at the same time I added the hack code, just to add another variable to the mix. That would explain the basic change in behavior.

Now, if I switch the setting back to onlyhttp://internetadsales.com as the "virtual path to xoops" in mainfile.php, XOOPS loads properly onhttp://internetadsales.com with the hack enabled. At that setting and at the URLhttp://www.internetadsales.com, XOOPS loads but the News module is not found.

In the converse situation, specifyinghttp://www.internetadsales.com as the virtual path in mainfile.php, everything loads perfectly at that URL but nothing loads at all athttp://internetadsales.com - completely blank page.

Things are too chaotic around here at the moment for me to test the four combinations properly (www and no www, each with and without the hack enabled), but I suspect there might be a slim chance the problem has something to do with the way the hack translates the URL for the default start module in the particular case that:

the virtual path to XOOPS is set tohttp://www.etc.etc

and

a user attempts to access the site athttp://etc.etc

for a webserver on which browsing without the www is permitted.

On another site I run, the exact opposite occurs.http://aboutmichaeljackson.com has that URL defined as the virtual path and works fine with the hack. The same URL with www, i.e. http//www.aboutmichaeljackson.com suffers from blank page syndrome.

It's not that big a problem, but it would still be preferable to display a partial load of Xoops, minus the default module, than a blank page. I suppose the simplest workaround would be to add another redirector to .htaccess that would add or strip the www as needed. Anyone know a simple line of code to do that?

Cheers,

Béla

Hi Karuna,

Did you do that through .htaccess as well? Could you share the code? I'm such a newbie at that file that I couldn't make it work properly.

Thanks,

Béla

And yet another question. After installing the hack, links to the site URLs that do not include the "www", e.g.http://internetadsales.com/whatever, of which there are many, no longer work, whereas they did previously. Any idea what may be the cause? And could there be a nice simple workaround?

Thanks again,

Béla
