Right on ... I could not get the flash pluggin auto-install to work from your sight on a fresh Debian/Mozilla Firefox install .. was able to use Xoops.org rotating banner to install this pluggin on request so there might be something in your pluggin code that could be looked into for better functionality.

Hope this is helpful

Looks like a great start at something.

Looks like you should lock guest book down so email can't be sent from non-registered members.

Keep up the good work :)

Nice Example - msdana

I was going to babelfish the site to see better but they have their site closed.

Indeed the first appearance would suggest much needed criticism but most likely this is a new developer just shifting and tweaking and toggling the available XOOPS references of favor and they are trying to mimic those layouts to meet their end needs. So in a sense its an honor perhaps that someone liked the utilization,layout ect. ect. bla bla bla to jump right in and do it.

Visualware IP Lookup -> on pagesbourbon.com if you need to findout whois info.
Go here to get the first contact info from the who is info.
I would say that no this site should not be able to use this graphic with the site name changed as such .. as to why it was hitting your stats at your site via their site is yet another case of XoopsIdentityTheft -> Learn More

On a side note msdana

Terms on www.panhandlegateway.com

I am unclear then where you apply relevant information about the use of XOOPS or the developers of mods for XOOPS that are used within the site.

I did like the post on using the about this site location to consolidate this info and help give credit where credit is due ... Herko left/right theory work'n too

Oh that reminds me .... when you click on the info icon on a module in the administration menus you get a pop-up window that does an auto scroll credits runtime for the mod designers. Thats cool

If XOOPS could couple this into a dynamic Powered By module having complete credits, about, terms, privacy, front-end module for the curious with most of their nine lives and of course side-module hover-overs and rotations and fadings and and and . stop . :)

... good luck all

What about xoops.org promoting Creative Commons License on site?

GPL CCL ... then of course copyrights ... this is certainly a big problem for OpenSource. What is the official XOOPS directive here then?

Zioncrtain4 appears to be using the Fair Use clause of life.
I see alot of XOOPS out there from private to public sector some with XOOPS disclaimers/reqinfos and others appearing to be XOOPS or powered by XOOPS not having any credits or comments in their code distribution.
There are all sorts of Fair Use application of XOOPS out there and certainly, some abuse or misuse issues too.
Whats the quick 5 point method for dummies to adhereing to the ever changing world of IPR.

How about creating a XOOPS training process for directly addressing this exact misunderstanding.
Perhaps a White/Grey/Black list for a core mod that ties directly to whois index of sorts ??? Timing might be right with the XOOPS award contest ongoing.

By the By ->
Props For XOOPS being the number #1 OpenSource CMS project!

Runner up nothing .... just XOOP module them and see where that takes things.

Best luck to everyone out there on this ongoing issue of intellectual property rights and ownership topics

Isronax,

We had the exact same problem .. see this Link to get your specifics from your hosting service.

To expand on my last post:

look to this line in mainfile.php: (see that web_3 is right) this is what you need to fix.

Quote:

// XOOPS Physical Path
// Physical path to your main XOOPS directory WITHOUT trailing slash
// Example: define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/mnt/web_3/d42/s20/b01f5598
/www');
define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/mnt/web_3/d42/s20/b01f5598
/www');


PM me if you need more help .. but this should solve your problem.


Oh, and Peterr had some nice how tos in his last post that may come in handy later. Didn't mean to stir that water up but sleep deprevation gets the best of me at times. And well, forums drive me nuts when they get out of hand. I like the kind of forums that give points for answers and helpful hints to smooth this out. Good example is VMware

Ok ... Pardon my Language

Just to let you know the answer does probably lie in the mainfile.php file for Isronax's problem; But look to the XOOPS Root Path defining string for a resolution Isronax.

I was able to get my site back online by changing the root path to a different web server farm, as the primary web server had been knocked off line from some kind of DOS attack so it seems.

RedEye,

not sure about doing this in flash but should be straight forward enough to just make a HTML file on your XOOPS site called whatever*.html:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<title>Xoops site Autologin User</title>
<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"/>
</head>
<body onload="document.forms[0].submit();">
<form action="user.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="uname" value="User@somewhere.web" />
<input type="hidden" name="pass" value="ReAl1pAsS"/>
<input type="hidden" name="op" value="login" />
<input type="hidden" name="xoops_redirect" value="/index.php" />
</form>
</body>
</html>

Then of course, just make a hyperlink in your flash app to yoursite.web/whatever*.html .... Not sure if you can encrypt your flash to safeguard the link or not but may be a mute point as the end-user will end up with the link info in their cache just by default. More could be done to secure this I'm sure but if you keep the whatever*.html file on your site you can keep working out the security details and change the password periodically as needed without having to resend/provide the app with new info each revision.

Hope this helps.. I've been pulling my hair out doing user group test 1 login at a time and well its tedious to say the least. This should be able to be manipulated to generate new accounts with a little modification just look at the register form in user.php file to work out the details.

Cheers

m0nty,

Is there a way to use an onclose redirect to automatically logout the user? seems like one method to force the session to expire since we know how end-users never do what you want them to. Maybe a method to cleans the variable pool from a browsers memory would be nice too. I.e. resetting all xoops_vars=default as the user exits.

<disregard this as I've figured a work around for now see post -https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=42113 >
On another note, I was wondering if it is possible to temporarily make a XOOPS site allow all the login information to be parsed in the address line of a link / shortcut for working out all the different user groups to avoid the constant login in log out hassles. Of course you would want to be careful as to when and where you issue these links / shortcuts as most servers log refferal and redirect information which could then make this information available to those systems. This is just a need to help cut the time constaints to inspect how each user group is going to see content and what they can see more rapidly.

I haven't been able to find any particular info on this other than the xoops_redirect method prevents this type of address line manipulation for autologin methods.

Just wondering .. until I figure something out I'll have to just keep manually logging in/out dozens of times over :|

I get around 177 items downloading showing up in the lower left hand corner as I load any viewtopic.php page however, the content seems to be all there while this is happening so I don't get what its downloading. Maybe its got something to do with the ad rotator up top??? I have noticed that it sometimes doesn't completely load up correctly all the time here at the XOOPS site ..

Nobody every really clicks those do they ???

FYI I'm beta testing IE 7 but can check out with Firefox via my free Ubuntu browser application being given away at VMware... XOOPS should put up a VM app .. could win 100K too :) not to mention make it easier for prototyping and development. Man sleep deprevation has a way of making you go OT ..

Who ever said 'No man is an island unto himself' never did IT :|
