It appears I was running PHP 5.2. I'm changing to 5.4 now then I'll test again.

And no, I haven made any changes to the site or the hosting for months. It just suddenly quit working.

Started getting the message Could not instantiate mail function when I tried to send mail to users from admin panel. Discovered that new users are not getting their activation emails. I don't even know where to start.

I tried all the other mail methods. When I use SMTP auth, it says:

The following From address failed: noreply@templeofthejediforce.org
Could not send mail to admin.

Noreply@templeofthejediforce.org is a valid email.

Any suggestions?

Is there a simple way to disable new user registrations?

Thanks Mamba, that completely fixed my problem.

Last night I updated one of my sites from xoops 2.5.5 to 2.5.6 and now when i try to view someones profile I get a blank white screen. I turned on the inline debugger and got the following error message on the screen:

Fatal error: Cannot make static method MyTextSanitizer::getInstance() non static in class MyAlbumTextSanitizer in /home/content/35/3698335/html/totjf/modules/myalbum/class/myalbum.textsanitizer.php on line 7

Any ideas how to fix this?

What is the latest stable release?

When moving from page to page in the gallery the breadcrumbs have an error:

Main : error: category id not specified Total:110

It should read something like:

Main: Catagoryname: subcatagoryname Total: 110

If you do an upgrade any existing images will be lost. Categories are retained, but all images are dropped.

What I feel is happening with Simon is that he, like all of us really, want the Blue Move of getting high quality modules stable on the newer version of Xoops. And maybe he just needs a little help, an assistant if you will, that would take the time to go through each and every tab and most if not all the various possible combinations for him.

And really, if he reasonably believes that a module works fully why shouldn't he post it as ready.

I think what the module developers need is some people like me that really want to learn more to step up in a kind of assistant role. And what better way to learn more about Xoops, template and themes, and php and mysql, than to work with a seasoned mod developer in a kind of one on one capacity.

Maybe part of the blue move initiative could create an emphasis of pairing seasoned coders with others in the community that are building Xoops sites in a kind of one on one relationship. I'm not suggesting anything formal, but something that is brought up as a good idea from time to time and encouraged.

It turns out that I've had occasion many months ago to communicate with Simon on a technical issue and he was awsome, responded to my request, and made me feel like I was the most important person in his life, for that moment. I know he's a great guy.

And I bet there are lots and lots of website developers that are long on ideas and content but struggle with haveing little raw coding skill like myself. Personally O would cherish the opportunity to work more closely with developers of the modules that I need but until just here recently I hadn't considered reaching out to Simon or anyone in the community to establish that kind of arrangement. I've been just posting my bug complaints and hoping for the best.

When you're in my shoes and desperately need something to work, and work right, it can be intimidating to reach out to the guys that actually write the code on a personal level. These forums really don't encourage that.

So anyway, I'd like to step up to become a kind of apprentice with the duty of helping debug modules.

I agree. Even when it works right it's painfully slow. Better to just ftp up your images and use the batch add.
