I guess this will teach me a huge lesson to not touch things that I have no clue about When I type in the url to my site, I get nothing but a blank screen and I just don't know how to get it back. Stupid me forgot to make a back up just in case too. I was trying to edit the html and I don't know exactly what I did, but when I saved it and used my FTP something happened.
So I guess my question would be this....

Is there any hope of getting my site back? I was still making it so its not like I lost that much. Or should I just uninstall and then install it all again and start from scratch?

Help!

Sorry for such a vague subject line, but I am having different problems with several mods...

Ok, so yesterday I downloaded several mods, put them in "my documents" then today I opened the zip files and used WS_FTP to open and upload to my modules folder for my site.

Then I went to the modules section in my admin area and when I looked there were only a few of them on there.

There were 2 files that were not found and those were for AMS and e-cal. I am not sure why there is an error with those two? Any clues?

Then,I saw the "shoutbox" so I clicked on the install button and it did its thing so then when I went to the "homepage" button and then clicked on "Shoutbox" and white screen appeared with something saying this page should be set to invisible and I need to set it at "0"??

After I saw that I went to the shoutbox module and looked around to figure out what to do and I saw nothing...of course I am a newbie so I probably missed something LOL

Now on to my next problem....

I also installed Edito and Net 2 FTP with no problems other than the fact that they show up on all of my pages!(I know how to make it to where they only show up on certain pages) I installed them in the modules folder so I am assuming that is why they are showing up on the main menu section? Shouldn't these two only show up in the admin area? What did I do wrong?

Please help!

Thanks for the input I will let you know Bassman, thank you!

THanks for the link pegasus00321, I didn't see that site.

I have looked and looked and I just can't find a theme that I really like and want for my site. There are some great ones listed here at XOOPS and I have done a search on google but they are basically all the same. They are either too dark, too light, too plain or just so busy that my members would end up getting lost.

Now my host included a ton of themes and templates,but I am not sure if they would work with XOOPS or not? I haven't even looked at them yet, I wanted to find out first before I even download them kwim?

Also when I did a google search for XOOPS themes, a lot came up with phpnuke(and one more, just can't think of the name off hand). Are those themes okay to use with Xoops?

I am basically looking for a theme that is crisp, clean, but with some colors like( blue, orange, green, white, gray, etc.)My site is geared towards men,women and children so I don't want something really girlie or too masculent LOL

Thanks for any help!

That is awesome!Thank you so much! I am off to PM you now for more

Actually it's not up and running yet, I wanted to get everything set up before I opened it up to the internet world. But here is the url~
www.myparentconnection.com

I am still looking around for a different theme, one that is family oriented maybe. So for now I just have the default theme on there and I don't have a lot of my things up yet....its a mess LOL.If you can't get on, then just let me know.

I am working on my new site, which is a multi page parenting site with tons of articles, etc on it. I am looking for graphics or pictures to go along with the articles that are either free or low cost. Does anyone have any ideas?
Do we carry anything here at XOOPS that can help?

Thanks!

That sounds like a good idea, probably more organized and neat that way. Thanks for helping both of you!

Wow! You are fast to reply LOL

I forgot to add that I will have many pages to my site, and that the message boards are just an extra to the site. That is why I want it easier to access..

So what I would like is an information page when they first come to my site, then click on a link to get to the boards. Does that make sense?

I finally got the newbb2 installed last night thanks to you guys, now I am wondering how I can make the url look like this~

www.myparentconnection.com/boards

instead of what is on there now, which is this~

http://myparentconnection.com/modules/newbb/

I think the last one is just too much for people to type in if they just want to get to the boards kwim? Can someone please tell me how to change this to the first one?

Thanks!
