internet radio site just went XOOPS after 5-years. Any second eyes to look and suggest would be great, the more you look the less obvious things are

thanks in advance for comments/suggestions

OK I am an idiot that should not be on the computer before coffee....for some reason I have a database called "xoops" that I was repairing and checking but that is not the database XOOPS is using. I repaired the database XOOPS is actually using and it works fine...

Open checklogin.php in the includes folder, look for:


if (!$allowed) {redirect_header(XOOPS_URL.'/index.php', 1, _NOPERM);exit();

(this should be line 70)

Change '/index.php' to the page you want to redirect to.

Make a backup of this file incase you have problems, I did this and it worked for me but backup original file is a good thing

I have been using XOOPS for a while but all of a sudden I can not login, or any members. You login and it says "Thank you for logging in" then takes you back to index.php without the user menu and the login box is still there. I login as admin and it says thank you for logging in, but nothing. I try going to admin.php after I login and it says no permission.

This is happening with everyone so I know it is not just my computer settings. Any Ideas?

PS...New issue I can not even sign up for an account it says "No valid security token found in session"

I did a sql check and repair and repair of the session tables with no luck..I am running the latest version of xoops.

I am thinking that the "enslosure url" would work like the "url", so I guess just the same think that calls and displayes <url></url>. It would be just a simple link to the audio file. And then a call in the template to display that. Once that is done I can even make a custom graphic for the template that will say "listen" or "broadcast". I guess a "clone" of the "url" call that would display seperate links. one for the website link "url" and display the second link that is named "enclosure url" in any podcast xml file.

Here is how it looks on a podcast site:

http://www.podcastingnews.com/details/indielimelightshow.com/limelight.xml/view.htm

The "podcast" option on the above link example is the link to the "enclosure url", the other option is to stream and not download, but I am not too concerned with that at this point, I can create an m3u tool to auto handle that. I am pretty good with audio solutions but the whole php scripting is out of my area.

sorry if i am not really clear it is a great idea, but to explain without knowing the right terms in "scripting" makes it hard to do. Again I think a module of this type would be huge for xoops. I have looked at nuke, mombo and other types of systems and no one has anything like this, but there are a lot of people looking for such thing.

I have all ready turned PDdownloads into an internet radio station directory that links right into the streams of the stations so I am looking to now offer podcasting also.

OK, I know this has been mentioned a time or two in the XOOPS site, but how about a podcasting module..I am even willing to pay for such a thing

Podcasting is sent via xml/rss feeds and works exactly like any news feed, but it has one additional tag of "enclosure url" that is the url to the mp3 file. Podcast feeds work in the "headlines" module that comes with xoops, but obviously there is no coding to display "enclosure url" tags that are entered into a podcast xml file.

I have, and will continue looking at and doing trial and error with the XOOPS rss files and those within the "headlines" module to see if I can not learn something, but if someone knows how you can add additional info to the "headlines" module and do this that would be great also.

I think that this should be simple for people who really know the coding of XOOPS (or maybe it is harder then I think). I have even looked at changing to php-nuke, but I see they have a lot of people requesting such a module and it is not yet available for them either. I think it would be great for XOOPS to be the first to do a module like this, podcasting is the hot thing right now.

Below is a copy of a standard podcast xml file for those who might be interested in this new idea and how you can maybe include the "enclosure url" instance.

Thanks! That is good to know for the future!

As a web designer, programmer or script writer when you are hired to do a task you are "work for hire" meaning that the company that has hired you to do the job owns that job and holds copyright to that design, program or script.

Also if a company chooses to use XOOPS for their base web system that is their choice and that IS paying respect to the XOOPS community and developers. The more companies that use the XOOPS system the more the name gets recognized. I think as a whole it is obsurd to think that everything should be general public use just because XOOPS is is a GPL.

With that said, I also do not think any harm would be done if there was a donation of $20 (or whatever is reasonable) to the XOOPS team for every module that was a paid development for private use, seeing that the designer, programmer, script writter is using the core XOOPS system to call the module.

There are many products that we use, buy and consume on a daily basis that was developed for the use or addition with another product. That does not mean that the add-on company should pay the original company for the use of the add-on. Does cereal get paid by the milk company? I got my dog for free, should a leash company provide me with a leash for free to help the cause (really I am more interested in the free dog food, this thing eats too much)

Most people that help here are just people like you and I, they just know about some things and offer free help/advice when they know an answer. Free advice comes when you can get it My guess is that no one that has read your question knows the answer, I do not think someone is saying "I know this but I am not going to help".

So to offer you a response, I don't have a clue outside of editing your theme.html and adding dynamic html and links to those areas from there. Have you seen the themes that have navigation on the top and offer dropdown menus on them? If so that would be your fastest and easiest way to create such a thing, it seems like you are in a rush so I would look at that and ditch the multi-menu because that is not a "built in" option to that module.
