Hi all,

well, the nice gentlemen from Turkey dropped me a reminder that I should upgrade my two sites ASAP.

I am currently running XOOPS 2.0.13.1 , target is 2.0.16

How do I proceed with the upgrade?

I have found nothing except this:

2.0.16 release

So far I have downloaded the 2.0.16 zip, and followed the readme.txt in xoops-2.0.16\xoops-2.0.16\upgrade

I have done the following:
- Unzip the package - CHECK
- Upload the *CONTENT* of the htdocs directory to your XOOPS root directory - CHECK, overwritten original files
- Upload the upgrade *FOLDER* inside your XOOPS root directory - CHECK
- Login as an administrator - Ah, but I can no longer access my site, it redirects me to the instal script!
- Point your browser : <xoops_url>/upgrade/ - Message is: The requested URL /upgrade/install/index.php was not found on this server.

Do I need to perform the install script again? I tried, mae mainfile writable etc. but it won't complete as the database tables already exist!

How do I proceed, I tried searching, but can't find a detailed procedure

It's all in Block Administration for the Partners Block.

You can set the display limits there, NOT the Module Administration.

For centering, you'll have to edit the template (also in block administration for the block and change this.


<{foreach item=partner from=$block.partners}>

      <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/xoopspartners/vpartner.php?id=<{$partner.id}>" target="_blank">

      <{if $partner.image != ""}>

      <img src="<{$partner.image}>" width="102" height="47" border="0" alt="<{$partner.url}>" <{$block.fadeImage}> /><br />

      <{/if}>

      <{$partner.title}>

      </a>

      <{if $block.insertBr != ""}>

      <br />

      <{/if}>

      <br />

      <{/foreach}>

to this


<{foreach item=partner from=$block.partners}>

      <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/xoopspartners/vpartner.php?id=<{$partner.id}>" target="_blank">

      <{if $partner.image != ""}>

      <img [color=FF0000]align="center"[/color] src="<{$partner.image}>" width="[color=FF0000]102[/color]" height="[color=FF0000]47[/color]" border="0" alt="<{$partner.url}>" <{$block.fadeImage}> /><br />

      <{/if}>

      <{$partner.title}>

      </a>

      <{if $block.insertBr != ""}>

      <br />

      <{/if}>

      <br />

      <{/foreach}>

Accordingly, adjust your Width and Hieght attributes there.

I don't know if my advice is 100% accurate though so proceed at your own risk

XCgal Always Fetches Same Picture

Hi!

I'm having this trouble with XCgal RC 1.1

Whenever I click a thumbnail image, it always leads to the same picture, regardless of arguments supplied in the URL. Is this a cookie issue?

When I re-insert the module templates, I can click an image of my chocie the first time and it shows correctly. However, any later clicks on any thumbnail always leads to this image from then on. Also, I can't use arrows to switch between images.

What is the solution to the problem?

Should I upgrade to XCGal 2.0 ? Is there an upgrade for XCGalthat works with xoops2.0.x, I've only seen one for xoops2.2.x on this site.

Also, this appeared to be the problem when I had phpmail as my mail method. No errors would be repord, but some mails don't get through.

Sendmail doesn't work at all, and with smtpauth most of the mail gets through (all of what was sent) except for those which showed srrors. And errors appear to be totally random.

Help?

Hi,

I was wondering if you guys could help me out.

I'm running a xoops2.0 website, and today I sent out a mass e-mail (newsletter0 to my users. Now, it turns out some haven't got it. Some on the other hand have.

So, what condidtions must a user meet to receive mass mail? I know he has to request to "be mailed occasional information from the Admins", does he also have to switch "preferred notification method" to e-mail? Will running a query

"UPDATE `xoops_users` SET `notify_method` = '2' WHERE `notify_method` = '1' ;"

before I send out mail solve my problems?

Sincerely,

As per the advice below, I have ascertained what the problem was, it works now! This post is from under Opera!

http://my.opera.com/forums/showthread.php?s=82faf609899bf3c8fb19de070eea43ac&threadid=99601

Just hit F12 and enable referrer logging. XOOPS unfortunately (and stupidly) requires it.

Thanks, CLStefan

Opera- " Could not insert forum post " error when posting in newbb

Hello,

I'm not sure that I'm posting this in the correct place, if not, I do apologize. I don't feel it's a module question, nor installation troubleshooting.

I have a XOOPS 2.0.13 website that I administrate, and I am using the Firefox browser. All is good.

However, when I use the Opera browser, I can't effectively administrate my site; I get problems at some points with uploads and posting; particularly when trying to post at the forum.

Typically, the error message I get is "Could not insert forum post." I never get this error on my other browsers. How to set up Opera so that it works with my site?

I know that there are some issues with ZoneAlarm and that you have to make it accept "private headers" or whatchacallit, but this is not the case; I can't post when I shut down the firewall neither.

I know it is possible to have Opera work well with xoops, I have heard reports from Opera users that they can use my site and I've actually posted at one occasion from under Opera when at university. I don't know what its configuration was exactly, though.

Could it matter that my home computer is behind a NAT? I know the university computers have public IPs.

Any help so that I could warn my visitors of possible errors and solutions would be appreciated.

Well, I'm getting some trouble with this right now... I've recently upgraded my XOOPS software from 2.0.7 to 2.0.93. Now my website admin tells me my site has been slowing down the MySQL server a lot (a Apache/2.0.53 (Debian GNU/Linux) PHP/4.3.10-10 mod_ssl/2.0.53 OpenSSL/0.9.7e Server) and he's forced to turn it off temporarily.

I don't remember turning the cache on, so I'll try that (as soon as I convince him to turn the site back on so I can at least get to the admin functions to turn it off myself :) )

Is it possible that this is a worm issue or sth? I'd like to believe my site is experiencing such an influx of guests so as to create that many queries...

OK I've uploaded a plugin and it says the load times are between 0.3-0.9 secs and the no. of queries is between 50 - 180, is that acceptable?

Uhm, the link from Francis' post is no longer valid... Is this file anywhere here? I tried searching and looked under Download/Miscellaneous. An automatic login would be useful :)
Cheers,

EDIT: OK, so I found it here through brush's newspost:http://www.it-hq.org/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=10
