Thanks for your help I will give the google search a try.

HI Thank you for your reply. I have asked the host and they have not yet come back to me. I do think this is where the problem lays. I also wanted a professional XOOPS option on this.

I have not gone into MyPHPadmin as this site that I'm trying to connect to is working as I'm already coneecting to this via onother website.

Is it possible to have two websites connecting to one database?

Im going through the set up intro program on XOOPS and I have put in all the info for it to connect to the "Mysql" DB and I keep getting the same message.

check database
Could not connect to the database server.


Please check the database server and its configuration.


Can someone please advise me on what I need to do?

I want to run a site without the MySQL DB or ANY DB.

Q: How do I do that?

On the setup that you go through when commissioning the site it asks to add data for the data host etc to link to a DB. As I do NOT want to link it to a DB it will NOT let me go beond this point.

How do I overcome this?

Can someone pls tell me how I add links to the footer BAR like on this site where there is Terms of Use | Privacy Policy I want to add my Terms of business etc.

Q1 What file do I need to edit to do this?
Q2 How do I write the test line in that file to link to
Q3 Can this be a .doc file or PDF
Q4 where can I put this on the server (downloads)?

Hi can I just download the "publicecard.php" file edit it and upload it again and it should work?

Hi Thanks for pointing out where it is. To edit this I belive I need to use the whole system templet edit system, go into the admin sec download this, edit it. All this is OK. But when I try and upload it it dose not work or I do not know how to do this correctly.

On the older virsion I could just change the block words like you can change a module tital.

All I want to do is change "Edit Account" to Edit My Profile" etc.

Is there an easy what for a none tech like me to do this?

Hi Thank you, for that tip. Where do I find this:

Find this line (I think it's line 86):
//$this->send($ecard);

and change it to

$this->send($ecard);
