If anyone's interested, I've managed to fix the problem (I hope!).

I re-installed XOOPS 2.2.3 but I kept the old database [i.e. re-uploaded XOOPS files, didn't delete database and went through installation process again].

This allowed me to access my admin area although the error message still existed on the frontpage.

I then updated the System module, uninstalled/installed the Extended Profiles module, and uninstalled unneeded modules.

It seems to be working now. I've a small amount of duplicated info in my database but I can live with that. Also, sometimes I get errors when trying specific tasks with modules, but I just reinstall/update those modules and it works fine.

Cool.

Hi,

I've added that info to my first post now.

Thanks.

Help would be very much appreciated.

My site was working perfectly fine. I hadn't edited anything in ages, nor had I logged in for ages.

Then I checked the website after a while and I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/www/USERNAME/class/theme.php on line 499

I can't access user.php either to log in.

I've searched the forum for similar problems and the only time this problem seems to have occured is after a fresh installation of version 2.2.3. Suggestions for that problem have been to install the Extended Profiles module. However, I think I do have that module installed but I can't log in to confirm or reinstall it.

Would it be possible to reinstall XOOPS whilst retaining the website content and database?

Thanks very much for any suggestions you might have.

FURTHER INFO:
XOOPS 2.2.3 Final
php version 4.4.2

[I have a few other inactive modules but I can't remember whether I uninstalled them or not ]

Hey...

Sorry about this awful question. I've searched the FAQ but can't come up with the right keywords.

I'm looking to upgrade but I don't know what my current version is. How would I find that out?

I assumed it was system version on the admin menu, but it says version 2.13, which seems to be a newer version than what's currently on offer.

Yeah.. sorry and thanks.

Helps me, man.

Thanks a lot.

Hey, thanks. I've not tried it yet but it sounds like it'll work. Much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi. I wasn't sure whether to post this in the Beginner's Corner or in Module Usage.. so all apologies in advance.. but here goes anyway..

I was wondering if there was any way of getting rid of certain features from the News module (version 1.1), or if there exists a minimal/alternative version of the News module...

Basically, I would very much prefer it if there was no 'Submit News' or 'Archive' section with the module.

I'd also like to get rid of the topics, comments and reads... hah, what a big ask. With getting rid of commends and reads, I think I'd be able to edit the appropriate code template, but I don't know where the code would be stored... Anyone know?

I had a few more queries but I can't remember now... If anyone can help, I wouldn't mind bearing your babies. Thanks in advance.
