The only reference I could see to this kind of smarty in the changelog was :


============================
2007/08/24: Version 2.0.17
============================
+ Update smarty class (version 2.6.18) (dugris)


because it is right those files don't exist anymore in 2.0.17, the developers should confirm their deletion

By entering the administration system you can use a combination of setting up functions for Blocks and for Groups. The Operations Guide could help you some.

Since some time ago I've been wanting to to do an interface with XOOPS with a known framework, like Cakephp. I searched alot if someone had done something with XOOPS and Cakephp and I couldn't find anything.
What I did find was several interesting articles like:

http://www.gigapromoters.com/blog/2007/01/28/joining-powers-of-two-great-systems-joomla-and-cakephp/

http://www.thinkingphp.org/2006/05/04/using-cakephp-in-external-php-systems-cmss-weblogs-etc/

and

http://www.gigapromoters.com/blog/2007/02/13/finally-a-practical-solution-joomla-with-cakephp-together-jake/

so I started trying to create a bridge for XOOPS.

I will tell you here what I did. Of course this is just an expermiment/try so therefore there are many things left to do.

I explain to you that what I tried to do was follow the explanation of Jake in his initiation to this and downloading his example, and from that I was able to build this package for XOOPS,

Those who are interested can help for this to get a better a structure.

What I tried to do was a sort of module that contained Cakephp inside the main directory where XOOPS is.

This small project was named Koops.

You can download it from

HERE
###############################################
IMPORTANT:

Make sure that mod_rewrite is set to True in the Apache, and configured correctly

###############################################

The directories are set this way:



wwwroot
xoops
cache
class
...
koops
...
an so on...

1 )

Modify the file header.php of the main XOOPS directory

Adding at the end the following line:

require_once( 'koops/cake.php');

We can of course modify here the directory where koops will be included, but afterwards we must have in mind the ROOT_PATH variables for Cakephp.

2 )

Inside koops we copy all that is contained in the Cakephp directory.
It would result this way:

koops/
app
cake
index.php
...

3 )

Inside koops/app/webroot/index.php comment the two following lines:
...

if (isset($_GET['url']) && $_GET['url'] === 'favicon.ico') {
} else {
// $Dispatcher=new Dispatcher();
// $Dispatcher->dispatch($url);
}

....

Then a trigger has to be made to unite cake and XOOPS. Create en the directory /koops
the archives cake.php and cake.inc.php:

cake.php :


and cake.inc.php



This will manage that controlador/acción/vista will reach Cakephp.

At this point the directory will look like this:

koops/
app
cake
index.php
cake.php
cake.inc.php
...


4 )

Then in koops/app/config/ modifico/ create the following files:

bootstrap.php



With the aim that it interprets and modifies the URL's that Cakephp needs.

In the following file: /koops/app/config/core.php

We configure this:

define('AUTO_SESSION', false);

So the session control is still being kept done by XOOPS.

In koops/app/config/database.php





5 )

With this it would be enough for now. The download archive includes an example.

To use it all you have to do is create a table 'names' with the following fields:

id
names

Then to use it:

http://localhost/index.php?option=names&task=index

That's all. This is only an approximation. Those who are interested are welcome, and suggestions also.

Please respect the work done at xoops.org, it is not junk, there are respectfull developers making things better, I use XOOPS LDAP and it works fine.

"What is the difference?"

none

the DHTML extended view which is obtained after installing Frameworks can give you an optimized default XOOPS bbcode editor (includes wiki links and you can select text and apply bbcode directly to it)

first thing I think of is that to make sure your browser is accepting cookies, is it this?

I would recommend rather smartsection or news to be used, they are more updated than wfchannel.

To use the modules go into Adminitration menu > and click on the module icon after you have installed it.

See if SmartSection 2.13 Final works.

with HTML view you can insert any wmv file like this:


you set the height and width you want and the path where your file is you can also set the parameters to true or false to what with you want. (tested with Koivi checking the HTML view)
