Thanks for the reply.

Two more things:
Is this compatible with XOOPS 2.0.x ?
What command must be used to extract the data and then delete the table?


Thanks again

sending mail from sourceforge

Hi all,
I host my project on sourceforge. For quite some time now XOOPS could not send mail. Notest that when too many users could not complete the registration. So for now I have disabled the email verification. The problem still exists though. eg. when trying to retrieve a lost password. I was looking around the sf.net documentation and found this:

==========
The ability to send email from the project web servers has been stopped to curb past abuse that has occurred from the project web servers. However, we do realize that this is a valued and required feature for many projects hosted on SourceForge.net, so we have provided a method for a project to accomplish this task. At a high level, it would look like this:

1. The module of the project web service that requires the ability to send out mail would now be modified to queue the message to the project database.
2. A cron job would be configured to pull out and send the emails from the project shell server.

============
url :https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?group_id=1&docid=4297#email

Can I edit something in XOOPS to make email sending work again? Or take any other action on this?


Thanks
Nick

Hello all, I am trying to use superspotlight 2.2 ( with news and wfsections) but can;t seem to configure it right.
Here are my problems so far:
1. the javapplet stays "on" even if I have no entries in "newsticket"
2. When turing "Choose two column News template? " to "no" on the main page a blank column is displayed with "More Features"
3. Even when selecting an article from wfsection none is displayed on the main page.
Anyone can help?

Ideally the layout would be like this:
-------------------------------------------
| BIG NEWS ITEM |
-------------------------------------------
| MINISPOTLIGH1 | MINISPOTLIGHT2
|------------------------------------------|
| OTHER NEWS
-------------------------------------------


Thanks in advance

Sending users the activation keys

Hello,
Still having some trouble with the activation of some users ( see my previous posts)
The problem is that some users don't get the activation key send to the email they registered.
I tried several thing but could not find a solution ( yes I tried sendmail)
Since the site I have is a sf.net based site hense no total control to find out what the problem is, I was thinking if I could manualy send the registration keys to the users.
So I would go to Admin -> Search users-> find inactive users -> and then somehow have the option to send the registration key.
Is there a way this can be done?
Is there any other way?

Thanks

user registration keys and smtp settings

Hello all,
I have posted this before about some problems with mail sending when a user registers on my sf.net site (xoops 2.0.7.3).
The problem is that some (not all ) users don't get the registration keys. And sometimes I don't get the mail about the new user registration.
I changed from phpmail to sendmail but the problem still exists.
The only thing that comes to mind is to change to smtp.
There is a server that can accept my smtp request but I have to use a username and a password to get connected. This is not a smptAuth server but plain smtp with username/password.
How do I do this. Where do I set the username and password for the smtp server? Putting the values in the smtpAuth fields does not work.
Can anyone help?

Thanks

Wierd activation email problem

Hi all,
Some users complained to me about not getting the activation email when registering on my website.
I tried it myself and in some cases it actually did not send the activation key email to the user but at the same time I got the mail telling me that the a new user has registered.
If I try to send to the user (that did not get the activation mail) an email message within XOOPS he gets it.
Any Idea what is happening?
xoops version 2.0.7.3


Thanks
Nick

I saw the upcomming smartfaq module and found it do be very nice. The same module would be perfect in provinding an howto module without much modifications.
As I see it it just needs to be cloned so it is called howto or smarthowto and to use its own sql.
I thinks its easy to do and quite usefull.
What you think?

I was thinking about it. but as it is marked as beta I was not sure about it.
Is it stable enough to go on a production website?


Thnaks

As I am using more and more XOOPS I see some features missing. That (to me ) are basic things.
There is currently a "problem" if an admin wants to temporary hide a download from the public. I can't seem to see a feature like this. This could also be done by asinging a download to a different group. Also there is a big problem if you want to edit a download. one thing is that it goes on top. even if you don't want it to. and you can not change a simple thing like the date.
I don't know if there is a module that can do that. if there is please tell me. other than that I think it is a good idea to implent something like that in the future

I want to change my centercolumn borders.
I found how to change the inner borders ( the border-right: 1px solid #cccccc; etc options)
What I can not find is how to change the colors (or remove) the external borders of it.

Can anyone tell me how to change that?

Thanks
