Hi Xoopsers! :)

Is there a package that works with XOOPS as a Shoutcast server? A Shoutcast module, maybe?

In advance, thanks!

Hi!

Is there a way in XOOPS to moderate, in real-time, a user which is causing problems on the site?

To change the problem user's group and have it take immediate effect, or forceably log him off without logging off the rest of the people on the site?

W/r,

I've been asked if XOOPS can provide a German-language version, and while I'm sure it can, I can't find the language pack.

I looked here on XOOPS.org and on the XOOPS dev site, translation section, and there's no German language pack.

Can anyone tell me where to find it?

In advance, thanks.

Hi mijuv,

Those settings are in the CBB module 'Preferences' tab.

For some modules, the 'Preferences', or basic configuration, doesn't show up on the first module admin page. Or, if it does, the 'Preferences' will be a small text link in the corner. I think the rationale behind this is that you normally only make your basic configuration changes once, then it's best to get it out of the way for the other settings.

The easiest way to always find the 'Preferences' is to hover the mouse over the module icon in the admin page. This brings up a list of basic configuration options, and the 'Preferences' is always one of them.

There's an option for "HP/MP/EXP Level Mode" that you can set to 'Disable'.

There's also some options for "Karma", a bit further down, that you may want to look closely at.

And below that is an odd option to "Allow requiring reply to read a post" (This feature forces readers to reply to the original posters post before being able to read the original), which you also may wish to carefully consider.

Hope that helps!

These are the things I'd double-check, in this order;

1) Try a different theme, I've had trouble with 7Clean, it doesn't display correctly on a fresh test installation I set up last week.

2) Ensure you have the form.php fix installed

2) Ensure you have the latest Frameworks installed

3) Ensure you have the latest xoopseditors package installed under {xoops-dir}/class

4) Update the System module from the Admin -> System -> Modules page

5) Update the CBB module from the Admin -> System -> Modules page

6) Clean out the {xoops-dir}/templates_c directory, delete everything except the index.html file

7) Clean out your browser cache, then reload the page

I just installed the CBB 3.07 with the associated Frameworks and xoopseditors package; Kudos to phppp and his team, you guys are doing fantastic work, bringing much needed capability to XOOPS, thank you!

With FCK Editor, when I try to upload a picture, it appears to work but then no picture is available in the 'Resources' directory. I tried to make a sub-directory in the 'Resources' directory and nothing happened.

My guess is that the FCK 'Resources' directory doesn't have write permissions properly set. Not difficult to fix, but I don't know where the the 'Resources' directory actually is.

Does anyone know where FCK Editor tries to place uploaded pictures?

And, if I'm headed in the wrong direction on this, any suggestions are welcome Thanks!

If this is a configuration issue, it's one that exists on all four of the sites I maintain, on 2 different hosts. It also seems to be the case on some of the other XOOPS sites I checked out earlier today, but I don't know if those webmasters noticed it or not.

The topic selection and number of news items displays is set in the News module preferences, when I turn it off the selector box goes away, but it doesn't fix the problem. I changed over to the "Topics View" in the New Module settings, and this seems to force whatever topics have news in them, to display the latest news item, and the last few recent items beneath it as links. "Topics View" looks like it's working exactly as it should, so I can go with that for now. I think it's only the "Classic View" that's buggy.

I'm not a php coder other than by guesswork and luck, so hacking the module to fix this would be more than my php skills are up to. Looking over the index.php file, however, what I do notice is that there's a '$storytopic' variable which is set to 0, and some code that calls for the 'topic_id'. I think that's where the problem is, the default 'topic_id' needs to be set to 1 in order to call the first topic automatically. Just a best guess though.

The only workaround I can think of is to replace the "Main Menu" block with a custom block called "Main", and manually input the desired options. That way I can force the News module to go to the first topic with a links like this;



This works for calls to the News module, but since my site is set up to use the News module as the startup page (System -> Preferences), a necessity to make the theme operate correctly, the initial display of the website to arriving visitors only displays a single, old news item. They have to select the "Home" or "News" option somewhere in the site, to see the correct news display.

If you (or anyone) has an idea to fix the "Classic View" in News 1.44 with, I'd really appreciate it.

Hi Andy,

The only News block that I have activated is 'Recent News', which gives a short single-line link to each of the news items. It does.

In System -> Preferences, the News module is set to be on the Top page, so the basic news display block should appear (and does) appear when someone first enters the site, and when the News module is selected.

The link to the News module goes to "modules/news", no specific item or topic specified. At the top of the basic News display is a topic category drop-down menu (with no default topic automatically selected), a number of news items to display drop-down menu (default is 5), and a "GO" button.

When I actually select the topic category, it then displays the news items for that category, so I think the problem must be that there's nothing in the default category when the module loads.

XOOPS 2.0.15
PHP 4.4.4
News 1.44

For some reason, News only shows a single news item in the block. I've selected for 5 news items to display on the top page, but it only shows a single item.

If I select the Topics to the only topic I have, then it will show the other articles, but by default, the Topics choice is blank (no 'default' topic, I only have 1 news topic created).

Is there a way to have News display, automatically, the last 5 news items, in the top page (or in this case, the News module is set to be the default top page)?

Ideas on this would be much appreciated.
