Hi, I am running a site dedicated to a kind of heart condition called Prinzmetal Variant Angina and have installed the Wordpress module to provide our users with blogs.

However, most every date (at different times) I receive ten emails in a row, with the title, [Prinzmetal Blogs] Please moderate: "".

Yet when I go to the site I get this message, "Currently there are no comments for you to moderate."

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Tony

Bump! Sorry chaps, I've tried everything and I just can't make the forums appear for anonymous users which is a pity because I really wanted to have the forums on our front page.

I have done as Stefan suggested but I have obviously gone wrong somewhere along the line.

It is possible that I've missed something out? Should I have done something else that was not in Stefan's post?

Many thanks,

Tony

Thanks for that. I'm using CBB v3.08.

Tony

Thanks Stefan, that's got me back into the site and I've now set it to put some content on the front page till I can get this permissions problem sorted out.

Does anyone have any ideas about why the permissions for the forums won't allow anonymous users to access them, even when I've specifically set them to allow anonymous users to access and view?

Thanks again,

Tony

This is very embarrassing! I appear to be locked out of my site. Let me tell you how this happened.

Firstly I wanted my anonymous users to be able to view the forums but not post or edit anything. So I changed the permissions to reflect that.

I tested the new permissions in a different browser (Firefox) while still logged in as the admin in IE7 and found that although I thought I had set the default permissions, they were still not allowing anonymous users to access the forums at all.

I intended to drop you a line here in the hope that someone might know what I'd done wrong but was distracted for a while and forgot about it.

Later, I made some other changes to the system, installed a new theme and suchlike. Then I made a fatal error...


In the general preferences, I set the front page to show the forums. Then I got distracted again and had to go out. Doh!

The next day when I tried to get to my site, I found it was stuck in a loop. When the front page loads I guess it tries to load the forums but then realises that I am not logged in and so I get a message that says, "You don't have the right to access this forum. If the page does not automatically reload, please click here."

The page reloads a few times and then I get a blank page so there is no way that I can gain access.

Is there any way that I can somehow log in as the admin so that I can put this right?

Also, does anyone know why my permissions were ignored in the first place?

Thanks in anticipation.

Tony

Thanks chaps, you've been most helpful. I have now installed the latest stuff and it works well.

Maybe someone ought to update that link on the XOOPS download page though.

It's the one that says "XOOPS 2.2 Module Packages (5)".

Apart from being very frustrating and a complete waste of time for new XOOPS users like me, sato-san and the other good people who created the latest packages must me really cross that all of their efforts are hidden while the out of date stuff that doesn't work anymore still get's center stage.

Many thanks,

Tony :)

Thanks Charpres. I think I'm beginning to understand. All I wanted was a web site to champion a mostly forgotten kind of heart disease, that could offer a CMS, forums and blogs and which was easy to install and not too techy. That's all.

I did some research before going ahead with XOOPS but have I chosen wisely? I've been trying to install this thing for over a month and I think I may be in a bit of a mess now.

Can anyone advise? Would an option other than XOOPS be more appropriate to a non-techy like me? If so, can anyone give me a pointer as to what might do the trick or is there something I can do to magically get my forum and blogs up and working with Xoops.

Many thanks,

Tony

Thanks Stefan, but now I'm really confused. The community pack I'm referring to is the one that is linked from the latest XOOPS download page at:

https://xoops.org/modules/core/

I just assumed (as any reasonable person might) that I was being offered the latest version of the community packs with the latest version of Xoops.

The link says "XOOPS 2.2 Module Packages".

If that page (THE main page on the whole of this web site) is out of date, do I need to find a more up to date version of Newbb?

Also, what is cbb?

Sorry to sound like a newbie who knows nothing about anything but this is forum is called "Beginner's Corner".

I am willing to learn though.

Many thanks,

Tony

Hi, not sure what I've done wrong here so I hope you can help.

I have downloaded Mithrandir's Community Pack which I believe contains the Newbb 2.02 Forum.

Anyway, I have copied the various folders (including newbb) from the zip file into my modules folder and have now been able to install "Content" and "MultiMenu" successfully.

However, there is no sign of Newbb in the modules list.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Tony

Thanks chaps, that did the trick! I'm not sure quite what I did wrong before. Anyway, it seems to be working now.

Many thanks,

Tony
