I understand that spammers post links everywhere in order to increase their search engine rank. But I recently receive quite a lot spams from the 'contact' module which are just strange. Here is an example of the email notification I receive:

Quote:

As you can see there is nothing but a name in the message. What this kind of spam do for the spammers? What should I do to stop them?

debugging white page

I met a very stange 'white page' problems. Following are some of my observations:

(1) When the problem occured, I was just browsing my site. Nothing change has been made to the site during the past few weeks.
(2) I am sure the hosting server is OK. I have another XOOPS site (same version 2.0.15) on the same server that works fine. Also I am not aware of any changes of PHP and MySQL version on the server.
(3) I modify the database entry to turn on the debug mode and I got black pages without any debugging information.
(4) I extracted the mainfile.php from a recent backup and upload that to the server - still no luck.
(5) I have checked all the file permissions and I am sure they are all correct. As I said I haven't changed anything on the site for weeks so this should not be a problem.

So I am running out of ideas. Any suggestion?

access a db outside the xoops?

I would like to develop a module which access a database different from the one used by the XOOPS system. The second database is needed because an old web site not using PHP relies on it. What is the easiest way to do this?

best practice to share database table?

I am going to have two sites sharing ONE database table only. That is: each site has its own News, Forum and other common modules. But just one table has to be shared. Clearly things like multi-site hack is too much for this. Can anyone suggest an easier solution?

Or make it this way: if one has several MySQL databases on the server, how to easily access databases not belonging to a XOOP site? I would like to hack the core files and make a second database handle to do that but don't know where to start. Thanks

"It could work with XOOPS 2.0* but need a minor change. (Sorry not make it directly compatible with XOOPS 2.0*, for the purposes of promoting XOOPS 2.2)"

Can anybody be more specific what exactly the 'minor' change need to be done?

This is very frustrating situation. I believe many people like me will have to stay with 2.0.x for quite a while until 2.2 gets stable enough and common modules are updated.

scoop and extended text in news module

I am using the 1.3 version of news module. I have been posting news using a webmaster account without any problem, using both the scoop and the extended text. But one of my site contributer told me he could only see the 'scoop' part not the 'extended text' area when he posts a news. Have I missed anything in the configuration? Thanks in advance.

How is the 'actkey' field generated?

I moved some user accounts from another system to my XOOPS site by inserting records to the user db table directly. Everybody can login without problem but some users reported that the 'lost password' function does not work. Does this has anything to do with the fact that the 'actkey' fields in those user records were set to empty string? If they should not be empty how can I generated them?

Re: use the comment system multiple times in the same module

Can you give more details please?

I have the following in my xoops_version.php

// Comments
$modversion['hasComments'] = 1;
$modversion['comments']['pageName'] = 'page1.php';
$modversion['comments']['itemName'] = 'id';


I don't see how is that possible to copy the last two lines of code multiple times to define another set of comments for 'page2.php' in the same module.

In my module I have two sets of contents, for example: page1.php?id=xxxx and page2.php?id=xxxx

Is that possible to use the internal XOOPS comment system with both pages? Or do I have to make two modules?

Re: In default theme, how to get borders for every table cell

A little bit more information.

I tried to test my own pages in a separate HTML file to get the correct effect and then wrap it with php code for use with xoops. Then all the cell borders are gone. So it is clear that the default theme css overwrite my table settings.

Any one can help me find a solution?
