Well I think it might be part of articles?

hmm I don't have that option - it's the 'latest publish item' block and I'm using XOOPS 2.0.16 (latest version)

Hi there,

I'm trying to get a block showing the 'latest published articles' working on my homepage - it currently seems to be showing all the HTML tags from the articles - so I get a title which appears fine and then the teaser text is <p>Teaser text</p> etc....

Does anyone know how to fix this?

I'm really struggling to get any plugins for tiny editor to appear - I've installed the imanager plugin through the plugin interface in tiny editor but no icon appears in the actual wysiwyg interface - I've set all the permissions on etc.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? The manual doesn't mention installing plugins at all, so I've had to guess a bit.

Hi there,

Can anyone explain the best way to upload images? I need some sort of web-based approach to adding images into news articles ?

Hi everyone, I'm very pleased to say that Bender has managed to do some clever stuff and the site now works hunky dory - I'm installing backpack as we speak and will ensure a regular backup is ready to be used whenever needed! ;)

Hi Everyone,

Many thanks for your replies - it's given me hope that I'll resolve this!

I think I'll take up Bender on his offer in case I break it any further!

Hi there,

I'm wondering if anyone is able to help me as I could potentially look pretty stupid - about 6 months ago someone was asking what the best CMS would be for developing a simple site and I recommended Xoops. Most other people recommended Joomla, but I said XOOPS was more stable and robust.

However, having spent ages installing the cms, the modules, editing all the html, etc etc it's gone pear-shaped because I installed a module (now I'm getting shedloads of slack because all the Joomlaists are saying it couldn't happen in Joomla as it error-checks every file before it uploads and you don't even need to manually ftp everything etc and that only a poorly-designed CMS would do this.

So I need some help in recovering this, basically I get loads of empty module entries saying 'Module File for Not Found!' which basically mean the entire CMS grinds to a halt and I can't install/remove/modify any modules...

- I've read through the FAQ entry on this an umpteen posts, however nothing seems to work - I think it might have been the annoying Archcontent module as it had everything in a sub-sub-directory for some reason in it's pack that I missed...

I've reuploaded it, to no avail.

I've tried everything except the final stage which says about going into phpmyadmin and modifying all the tables manually - my host doesn't supply phpmyadmin preinstalled and so it's a pretty enormous task which I haven't a clue where to start with - I had a go but I just don't understand.

I haven't even made a backup of the tables because I only installed XOOPS a little while ago and I was building the whole thing with the site shut.

So can anyone help me out with just getting this site back to normal?

I've been angrily told that if this 'silly CMS' isn't fixed by Monday they'll move to a 'proper CMS'...

So any help/suggestions would be MOST appreciated!
