Looks like I'm solving my own problem here

I then just removed these lines that refer to XOOPS_CHECK_PATH from the mainfile.php and all works fine!!

Ok... I've tried to move the code from the xoops/index.php into my custom index.php in the root, and changing some of the paths. I've then tried calling a block of content, but it has come up with this message:

XOOPS path check: Script is not inside XOOPS_ROOT_PATH and cannot run.

Does this mean it's a no-goer??

Ok, odd question... and I haven't found an answer after some extensive searching.

I want to have XOOPs running in a sub-directory (ie. /xoops) rather than in the root of my website.

However, I'm wanting to be able to extract content (or perhaps, whole blocks) for insertion in an index.php in the root of my web.

Basically, I'm after a nice little bit of php code where I can pull out content from the block that I want from a sub folder.

Anyone done it? Any ideas??

Greatly appreciated!!

Hi,

I've recently installed the latest version of XOOPS and am attempting to have my users authenticate via LDAP.

I'm at the point where I can login to the directory server, and where XOOPS searches for the user. However, I've found that for LDAP to work, the user must already exist in XOOPS (with a dummy pw), otherwise, a "Sorry, no corresponding user info was found" error results.

I was of the understanding that with LDAP synchronisation, if a user didn't exist, then they would be created automatically.

Has anyone got this working? Is there anything I can try?

Thanks very very much

P.S. sorry if this was posted in the wrong board..??
