Unless there is something wrong with your XOOPS installation, I don't know what to tell you.

Run a filecheck to make sure that you have all correct XOOPS files. What version of XOOPS do you have? Did you install it fresh, or did you upgraded it from an older version?



it was a freesh install. how do you run the file check? dont think ive ever had to do one.

That's impossible, unless your installation is wrong.

Try to update the module, and if it doesn't work, uninstall it, and install it again.

If you setup all the drop-down menus to "All Types", the Forum blocks have to show up.


i updated it, reinstalled it and still nothin...

D:

is there a file associated with those certin blocks i could be missing?

So on my old site with xoops we had a ""Recent Posts" block that showed the recent posts for newbb.

I have looked in blocks over and over, ive updated to 4.0 and downgraded back to 3.08 and i just cant see it.

I cant find anything on the forums about it either, but i know its possible.

Anyone have any help on this?

With Notepad++ go to "Find in Files" (a third tab in the Find window, when you press Ctr+F), and search for string like "INFO_LINKS_A" in the theme's directory, and that should show you were the links are, so you can modify them

first off, make sure you go to preferences, general and change
"check templates for modifications" to yes. otherwise you won's see your changes.. make sure to put it back to "no" on your live site.

in your theme folder, go to ... xotpl folder and open globalnav.html and edit your links there.

that's it!!!

hope this helps.



Wow that little check box was most of the problem.

THANKS!

So now i can see that i have in fact changed things, but ill just make sure im doin everything else rigth as well =D

So ive used themes in the past that didnt have extra link sections built into the desgine, but this new one im useing has 4 link groups and i dont understand what i edit to add my own custom links there.

This is the theme im useing "Total Management"
https://xoops.org/modules/extgallery/public-photo.php?photoId=1114

The Header Links and the Footer Links seem to be editable so i could change the location of them to goto various other pages, but i just cant figure out what to edit to do that.

Can anyone help me do this right?

I use Notepad++ to edit usually, but i dont know the files ide change.

Thanks

(and yes ive dug through the theme support forums for answers but havent found the right ones)
