Thanks very much for your input it has made my life alot easier. Saying that, I have had to start learning about PHP debugging - a completely new learning curve for me.

Oh! Before anyone tells me to change my DNS provider, I am trying to avoid that as much as I can for personal reasons.

Standardising URL formats - Help required

Unfortunately my Domain Name Provider's web forwarding service is restrictive to say the least and I have found that the only way to get around this is to use a dynamic DNS service to help with my website redirection to allow me to host subdomains.

I then found I also have a problem with the XOOPS 2.3.3 CMS. The domain names I have used are fictitious as I still want the sites to remain priate until I have got them up and running. The setup is as follows:
Main Domain Name: http://paul.tandt.co.uk
Dynamc DNS Name: http://my.dns.pointer.org

Due to the restrictions on my Main Domain redirection. something like "http://paul.tandt.co.uk/themes/default/icons/favicon.ico" does not work however "http://my.dns.pointer.org/include/xoops.js" does work.

The result is that the opening page of the website and the home page once signed in have got little/no formatting although the Admin pages work fine. I have taken an extract from the sources of the opening page and the Admin page.

Extract from Opening Page

I have looked at the theme page and taken an extract of this:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="" href="<{xoAppUrl backend.php}>" />


<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="<{xoImgUrl icons/favicon.ico}>" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="<{xoImgUrl icons/favicon.png}>" />

What I would like to know is how can I change things like xoAppUrl, xoImgUrl and any other similar variables to use the value of XOOPS_URL set in the mainfile.config

Any help would be appreciated

Blocks not translating codes

When I go into BLOCKS to edit them and if I enter something like:

[s-ize=medium][c-olor=000099][f-ont=Verdana]Test Message[/f-ont][/c-olor][/s-ize]

I have added the hypens(-) to stop this editor from translating them. They do not exist in my coding.

That is exactly how it displays when I open the relevant page, it does not translate these codes to show: Test Message.

I suspect a translation routine is not being called but I have no idea where to begin looking.

Any ideas????

You do not say what version of MySQL you are using. I am using version 6.0 and have had a similar problem. My knowledge of PHP is nil and as for SQL it is minimal but I have been soldiering away on my own to get this sorted.

If you look at the file "kernel\configitem"
Line 293 looks something like
$sql = 'SELECT * FROM '.$this->db->prefix('config');
.
and
.
Line 296 something like this
$sql .= ' ORDER BY conf_order ASC';

This sectio of code generates the query "SELECT * FROM xoops_config WHERE (conf_modid = '0' AND conf_catid = '1') ORDER BY conf_order ASC". If you run this query directly under the MySQL command line client then 0 records are returned. Take away the ORDER BY clause and it works but without the sort. The answer is use command line client to alter one of the indexes on the config table:

There are 2 lines you need to type in:
1) ALTER TABLE <prefix>_config DROP INDEX conf_mod_cat_id;
2) ALTER TABLE <prefix>_config ADD INDEX conf_mod_cat_id (conf_modid,conf_catid, conf_order);

Adding the extra field to this table should sort the issue. There is one other query you will need to alter and you will need to add a key to the relevant table.

In the file class\xoopsblock.php

Around line 437:
$sql = 'SELECT b.* FROM '.$db->prefix('newblocks').' b, '.$db->prefix('block_module_link').' m WHERE m.block_id=b.bid';

Change to:
$sql = 'SELECT b.* FROM '.$db->prefix('newblocks').' AS b USE INDEX (weight_bid), '.$db->prefix('block_module_link').' AS m WHERE m.block_id=b.bid';
The red bits are what has to be added.

Use the MySQLcommand line client to add an index on the newblocks table with:

ALTER TABLE <prefix>_newblocks ADD INDEX weight_bid (weight, bid);

The other queries you show have not given me any issues yet but that may be because I have corrected the original issues with these two solutions.

I hacked the "logger.php" file to write the errors to a file and this is the result:
I have no idea where to do next.

I have found a PHP Debug Utility and having no knowledge of the command/coding structure I went through step by step. I have slicght idea where the problem lays. The file CONFIGITEM.PHP in the function getObjects at around line 300 looks like this:
$result = $this->db->query($sql, $limit, $start);
if (!$result) {
return false;
}
while ($myrow = $this->db->fetchArray($result)) {
$config = new XoopsConfigItem();
$config->assignVars($myrow);
if (!$id_as_key) {
$ret[] =& $config;
} else {
$ret[$myrow['conf_id']] =& $config;
}
unset($config);
}
return $ret;
After the query, the variable $result = 17
On entering the WHILE loop the variable has the value NULL.
The function fetchArray is called once with the $result = 17.
The execution does not enter the WHILE loop at all and now the value $myrow = FALSE.
What puzzles me is that there are 31 entries that match the SQL Criteria for the query
SELECT * FROM tnt_config WHERE (conf_modid = '0' AND conf_catid = '1') ORDER BY conf_order ASC
Any ideas why only 17 records are returned?

A full description of the issue:
I installed XOOPS on a clean site. I had to modify the file "mysql.structure.sql" as the statement "TYPE=MyISAM" had to be changed to "ENGINE=MyISAM" as the "TYPE=" syntax is not supported in MySQL v.6.
I ran the installation and received green lights all the way. I supplied the Admin username and password and email settings. When I clicked the link to view my site I got the blank page. I cannot get any information up for debug information and I have tried various suggestions from the forum. I have shown the steps I took to intall the system with results and included .ini files for PHP, MySQL and the conf file for Apache. If I knew how, I would attach a .pdf file showing the results from <?phpinfo?>.

1) Downloaded xoops-2.0.18.1.zip
2) Extracted the zip file to the server root "F:\HTDOCS"
3) Moved the contents of "F:\HTDOCS\xoops-2.0.18.1\htdocs\" to "F:\HTDOCS\"
4) Installed and run checksum.php the result was:
There are 623 files checked.
Please remove the file ./checksum.md5 and checksum.php as soon as possible.
5) Edit "F:\HTDOCS\install\sql\mysql.structure.sql"
6) Global replace "TYPE=MyISAM" with "ENGINE=MyISAM"
7) Use MySQL command line to create database "tntweb"
8) Edit each file that ends in .php, .tpl, .html, .js or .css to remove any extraneous blank lines from the end of the file (I have read about these. I did notice that "theme_blocks.php" did not have a closing "?>" so I added this.
9) Backup the site.
10) Use browser to access "http://localhost/install/index.php"

I seem to be going around in circles looking at this forum for answers. I seem to be getting the blank page too. I am a newbie to this. I have edited eery php file and removed any extra lines after the ?> I did come across one file that I suspect is corrupt "theme_blocks.php". The last lines showing on the file are:

"} else {
$xoopsLogger->addBlock( $xobject->getVar('name'), true, $bcachetime );
$block['content'] = $template->fetch( $tplName, $cacheid );
}
return $block;
}

}"

There is no ?> at the end of the file. I added the delimiter myself to try it. I looked in the zip file that I downloaded and the "fault" shows up there.

I have checked permissions, recreated the database several times and re-run the install.

A view of the source from the blanks page is:
