Hey guys. I hope someone can help me with this. I am using XOOPS version 2.2.3a.

I can't seem to get "Zina" to function properly without errors showing up at the bottom of the page.

I am getting these errors.
Warning [PHP]: xoops_load_lang_file(c:/program files/easyphp1-8/www/modules/zina/language/english/modinfo.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in file c:\program files\easyphp1-8\www\include\functions.php line 152

I downloaded the Mod files from this website then I downloaded the "Zina" package and I followed the installation to the letter and still no dice. These errors show up below the modules administration section.

I even went on to install the module even with these errors to see if things would work out and it still doesn't. The "Zina" package works as a stand alone and as a module but these errors keep showing up right on the bottom of the page!

Can someone help?

Herko,

Were cool. I will behave as a person that deserves respect just as much as you do. Now on to what's more important here. XOOPS the best CMS / portal / everything and anything we want it to be, awesome technology in the universe!

God Speed,

Herko,

"In accordance with the XOOPS.org Terms of Use and the XOOPSiquette, I hereby give you an official warning. Repeated failure to comply to the simple rules of decency, respect and commons sense, will get you a last warning and then permanent removal from this website and all xoops.org websites.

And oh, POSTING IN CAPS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT FALL UNDER THE COMMON RULES OF POSTING ON PUBLIC FORA. But hey, I'm an admin, I can do that to make my point."

You got to be kidding me. You are using these rules to set me straight but you yourself don't abide by them. If you show respect to new and old members you recieve it. Plain and simple. You want to ban me because I won't tolerate you talking to me as if I was a 2 year old.

You have serious "EGO" problems Jack. Check out this quote out "But hey, I'm an admin, I can do that to make my point." Can We say "EGO"?

Listen, I am not here to literally disrespect any admin here but you are not representing this community well with your dissapointing use of XOOPSiquette. Lead by example.

So you will ban me? That means you ban everyone who won't be talked down to and made uncomfortable. So I used caps without realizing it and posted.

I can publicly apologize for that if I made any "One" person uncomfortable. But, for me to stay quiet and sit here with you making threats about how you will remove me from all XOOPS oriented websites is absolutely absurd!

Why don't we do this? We let this go and no hard feelings or you ban me and make your point clear that in this community we are among bias communists. Sad thing. How one person with power can make every thing look so grim with no regard of the many that they effect.

If I get banned folks I appreciate all of the "GOOD" people that are Xoopsters. You all make being a part of the XOOPS world a better and fantastic place! For those who choose the path of "Satan" "If You Live By The Sword, You Die By The Sword".

GodBless,

Talunceford,

If I were approached with respect and not talked down to, and it was pointed out to me that I seemed as if I were shouting. I would have responded with respect. If you serve up dinner on a trash can you get back negative results.

I mean no harm and nor do I want to cause any negative feelings towards anyone on these forums but to get respect you need to give it no matter what level you are in the world.

Kindest Regards,

Fred.

I see at least somebody is so fantastic to realize that an anwser is important not "Cap Keys" like this MORON just announced.

Thank you very much for the info Rabideau. You are too kind. =0)

XOOPSTERS,

IS THERE A WAY TO UPGRADE 2.0.92 TO 2.2? DO I HAVE TO UPGRADE VIA ALL THE PATCHES SUPPLIED ON XOOPS.ORG? THAT IS A LONG PROCESS!

IS THERE ANY EASY WAY OF DOING THIS?

CAN'T I JUST OVERWRITE THE 2.0.92 FILES WITH 2.2 ONES AND SIMPLY UPGRADE TO XOOPS 2.2?

I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANYONES INPUT ON THIS. THANKS A BUNCH! =0)

Phlex, IShades,

It's good to see you in the XOOPS world. I have used Mambo, PHP NUKE, POST NUKE, ZOPE, PHPBB, GEEK LOG and a slew of other content managment systems and the truth is XOOPS is about the best and most comprehensive package out there! HANDS DOWN! It just WORKS!! Period!! You don't have to be a rocket scientist to operate XOOPS. "You set it and forget it!" Plain & simple. =0)

Adding a block or new module is smooth! Unlike PHP NUKE or other CMS packages you have to fiddle with code! What a way to mess up your work flow! LOL!

I have Some Extra Flash info for you guys that will possibly help you. I wish you all great success. =0)

For example: Lets say you want to add flash in a block to display on your website you could do it using these different processes:

PLEASE NOTE: YOUR URL (Website Address) TO WHERE YOUR FILE SITS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT! IT IS CRITICAL TO WHERE YOU UPLOAD YOUR "SWF" FILE ON YOUR SERVER.

EXAMPLE: IF YOU ARE USING A PROGRAM LIKE "ANIM FX", IT INCLUDES AN EXTERNAL TEXT FILE. IT NEEDS IT TO FUNCTION PROPERLY, OTHER WISE YOU GET A BLANK BOX WITH NO FLASH DISPLAY.

SO DROP YOUR "SWF" FILE & TEXT FILE IN THE RIGHT LOCATION. REMEMBER THIS IS CRITICAL!

EXAMPLE: IF YOU START YOUR PAGE WITH "NEWS" IT WILL LOOK LIKE THIS:

HTTP://WWW.YOURSITE.COM/MODULES/NEWS/

GUESS WHAT?

YOU HAVE TO PUT YOUR "SWF" FILE IN THAT SAME LOCATION.

THE FILE WOULD BE UPLOADED TO YOUR "MODULES/NEWS/
SECTION. SO IF YOU HAVE A "SWF" FILE AND AN ASSOCIATED "TEXT" FILE TOO, THEY BOTH GO IN THE SAME PLACE. THEN YOUR
FLASH GRAPHIC WILL WORK GREAT! LOOK CLOSELY AT THE STEPS BELOW AT WHAT THE CODE LOOKS LIKE WHEN YOU INSERT IT INTO A BLOCK.

Step 1: Go to your administration section.

Step 2: Select Blocks

Step 3: Scroll Down To Your "Add Blocks" section

Step 4: Add This Code:

<object classid=clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000
codebase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,2,0
width=618 height=50> <param name=movie value=http://www.YOURSITE.com/modules/news/flash.swf>
<param name=quality value=auto low>
<param name=BGCOLOR value=#000000>
<param name=SCALE value=noborder>
<embed src=http://www.YOURSITE.com/modules/news/flash.swf
quality=auto low pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash type=application/x-shockwave-flash
width=618

bgcolor=#000000
scale= noborder>
</embed></object>


OK LETS LOOK AT THIS CODE BROKEN DOWN SOME MORE.

<object classid=clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000
codebase=http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,2,0
width=618
height=50>

(NOTICE THAT THE "VALUE =" SAYS THE EXACT ADDRESS WHERE YOUR "SWF" FILE SITS)

<param name=movie value=http://www.YOURSITE.com/modules/news/flash.swf>

(SEE THAT ABOVE? THAT IS WHERE YOUR FILE SITS.)

<param name=quality value=auto low>

(ABOVE WHERE IT SAYS "QUALITY VALUE= AUTO LOW" IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF YOU SET ALL OF YOUR FLASH FILES TO "HIGH" QUALITY EVERYTHING WILL BE SUPER SLOOOOWWWW! YUK!)

<param name=BGCOLOR value=#000000>
<param name=SCALE value=noborder>

(ABOVE YOU SEE "SCALE value=noboder" THAT IS WHAT YOU WANT BECAUSE YOU WANT IT TO SCALE TO WHAT EVER SIZE YOU SPECIFY. OTHER WISE THE TEXT OR IMAGE WILL LOOK SMALL. IT WON'T SIT RIGHT.)

(NOTICE BELOW THAT THE "EMBED SRC=" SAYS THE EXACT ADDRESS WHERE YOUR "SWF" FILE SITS)

<embed src=http://www.YOURSITE.com/modules/news/flash.swf

(SEE THAT ABOVE? THAT IS WHERE YOUR FILE SITS.)

quality=auto low
pluginspage=http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash type=application/x-shockwave-flash
width=618
height=50
bgcolor=#000000
scale= noborder>
</embed></object>

I hope this somehow helps.

If you use "MIX FX" all you do is use the code and set the width and height to your liking. You also set the address to where the file sits and that can be anywhere. Why? Because files like that are self contained. They don't need an external text file like "Anim FX" does. So your "SWF" file sits where you want it.

"Anim FX" needs to have files sit in the "exact location" you set your start page within Xoops. If you set it to start with a chat module guess what? You would need to upload your "SWF" and "TEXT" files to modules/chat/ and if you start your page with a differnet module like "news" you would need to upload your "SWF" & "TEXT" files to modules/news/.

Then your flash animation will work great!

Edit your "Theme" templates with "Macromedia Dream Weaver".
It works really well. Much better than "Microsoft Front Page" will. You can even get a XOOPS extension for Dreamweaver for free from this super cool placehttp://www.myxoops.com/ to build your own templates from.

Good Luck to all the great XOOP-Sters from around the world!

To all the programers: You guys ROCK!!!! The world of CMS doesn't know that there is a real BEAST out there. XOOPS! Simply put. IT JUST WORKS!!! Period!!

Administration is a dream and if you know how to use a mouse and click on things your GOOD TO GO!!! I needed a group solution when HTML wasn't to friendly on it's own. Not everyone knew HTML but the hero was XOOPS! XOOPS was the best choice! It lets you set admins and other cool things and what's even cooler is a crew like I have can all contribute great stuff without all the coding involved. My Grandma can go in and add her two cents! =0) That is the world of XOOPS! =0)

Thanks so much for great coding. =0)

Sincerely,

Freddy "The Edit" Rivera.
