Thanks a lot for the input guys


First, just to clear something out. This problem of mine is not related to upload issues with ftp and similar as some has had before (I have read some other threads on the issue). Reason I say this is because I run the server (I am the host as well as the webmaster) that this XOOPS installation is installed on, and every module I use has been downladed directly to this machine and not been ftp'ed across.
But, thanks for mentioning it as a possible problem

I also appriciate the tip about the community package, and have searched for it. however, the only community package I find is released for 2.2.X version of Xoops, and as I run 2.0.13.2 I assume that might not be compatible? Please advice, before I do too much about that. I have had issues with compatibility before, so I have learned to as much as possible stay on modules versions that support my current XOOPS version.

I also emphasize I want to use content for static pages, so that assumeption is correct. I did breifly try the "patched" version of content which supports the fckeditor, but I had some trouble getting that too work too. I assume that probably has a similar reason in me not totally understanding the steps of installment

Basically, if someone could be as kind as explaining to me (in detail) step by step how to install a module pluss whatever I need for a editor as WYSIWYG or FCKEDITOR (I have realized that some of the modules I have tested did not come with the editor included, but few mention much on how to include it and set it up). If someone even can explain to me with the "content" module as an example, that would be even better
I assume it's just me who haven't really understood how to connect this editor class and modules properly....



Thanks on the PHP feedback too btw.
Will check for PHP errors when this occurs to me.


Again, appreciate all help and input very much

Hello,

As I am still quite new to Xoops, I figured it best to post my questions here first.

I am using XOOPS version 2.13.0.2 on a Fedora Core 4 linux system, wiht latest version of PHP and Mysql.

I have had some smaller problems up through, but all in all I am very satisfied and found some nice modules to use as well.

1) However, one of my biggest lackings at the moment is a capability to handle Static pages and/or HTML pages in such a way that it can be easily modified also by someone else than me. preferably in a way so that HTML (or other) coding is not needed. In other word, something with a WYSIWYG solution would be the best solution.

I have tried several of the modules under HTML/Static pages in the modules section, but somehow I have had major trouble getting any of them to work properly as of yet. It's not always the same problem, so difficult to identify what to do all the time, but I seem to have trouble getting a WYSIWYG editor operational and I also suspect that few or the modules are updated to suppoort 2.13.0.2 without some kind of mod'ing. I am not that experienced with PHP, so I am trying to avoid too much of that.

As of now I am trying mainly to get 1 of the 2 latest released modules to work, "content" and "edito". Those two I get unpacked and placed in the module folder (according to documentation and also the correct folders), but in the modules section of administration I only get "module file for .... not found" for both of them.

I have manually had a look at the xoops_version.php files, and also checked the owner rights as well as the access rights, but can't find a problem.

Is there an experienced XOOPS admin out there that can possibly help me with this?


2) A side issue.
I am now moving to Xoops, but have used Drupal before, and had a gallery on the side in the form of "gallery" from menalto. I know XOOPS have a module version of this, but when installing it (even the modified beta versions) I only get blank pages. If anyone has a good solution for that, then that is very much appriciated. As of now, I have, as with my previous Drupal solution, installed a separate Gallery instance and used hyperlinking.

Thanks for a good product

Just to eliminate one "potential" issue...

Make sure that you have the right owner and user rights on your files, not just by name but also by ID. In other words, try to reset the ownership.

Reason for mentioning this:
Especially if you move files between two physical different Unix/Linux systems, users (even if named the same) can have different id's and therefore the rights can be different.

Good luck

Hey guys.

I had a bit of the same problem, and also decived to try the Wysiwyg solution. However, it's not exactly easy to "guess" how to install it (Yeah, I am quite new to XOOPS still).

I did install the Wysiwyg as explained in the readme.txt that follows (in class folder etc.), but it took a while to figure out how to change the system_imagemanager.html file. I was looking at the template manager, but couldn't find anything but view or download as options and no files other than those in template_c folder (which I didn't want to mess with), but then I changed in the URL field of my browser (in template manager), from view to edit, and then I suddenly could edit the templates. It might be explained somewhere how this is really done in a general way, but I haven't really seen it anywhere. So, a step to explain that in the installation procedure for the Wysiwyg is a recommendation from me

However, I still can't get it too work properly, so I guess it's something I have either done wrong or not really grasped.
The next step of the readme file tells me to look at desciption in docs folder, which I do.... but it doesn't really tell me much. It says something about how to include this editor in a xoopsform on a general basis. Ok, so I am not an expert on XOOPS yet, so this probably should have told me something. I find a lot of xoopsforms under a folder, should I change the ones that I want to use this editor? Could I please ask someone to tell me how to install the wysiwyg properly, step by step? It would be really appreciated

I am using vs 2.0.13.2 of XOOPS at the moment I think. And downloaded the latest (stable) wysiwyg I could find.
(Sorry, writing on a different maschine than where it is installed).

Help much appriciated.
Cheers
