Dear friends

I am doing two things with newbb
1. I am testing the operation of newbb 2.0.2 in XOOPS 2.0.17
and I am using this portal http://ipwgc.net/chile/

2. for the installation of cbb 3.8 I am using this portal http://ipwgc.net/portugues/
3. I don't want to touch the other portals because they are being used now by the people.
*****************************

:: Regarding the instalation of cbb 3.8 here http://ipwgc.net/portugues/
1. I move the Frameworks 1.10 to the root
2. I made the required language files example (spanish, portuguese, french)
3. RESULT: The newbb module doesn't appear in the list to install it.

////////////These are the debug errors on cbb 3.8 /////////////

Can you get us a screenshot of your folders on your server? How are you managing the multiple portals?

Here is a look at a default set of folders folder screenshot

Okay, thanks.

David,

I started to look at a few files from the Chile portal, and things didn't seem to line up, so I downloaded all of the /class/ path , and then ran BC (Beyond Compare) on it, comparing it to XOOPS 2.0.17 /class/ path.

Quote:

Each different portal is under the website root folder. If you go here to the main site, where you see "Select here" with the animated hand shows the links to the different portals, that gives an idea of the setup.

I checked mainfile.php on the Chile site, it seems okay.

I think all those different files is a mystery ??

Maybe I should check a 2.0.17 set of files against "(2.0.16 + upgrade to 2.0.17)".

Did a 'rules based comparison', and excluded 'unimportant differences', and only got one file differenece this time ..

xoopsform\form.php

So, your structure is -
/
--africa/
----cache/
----class/
----Frameworks/
----images/
...

--chile/
----cache/
----class/
------auth/
------database/
------mail/
------smarty/
------xml/
------xoopseditor/
------xoopsform/
----Frameworks/
------art/
------captcha/
------fpdf/
------PEAR/
------textsanitizer/
------transfer/
------xoops22
----images/
----include/
----kernal/
----language/
----modules/
----templates_c/
----themes/
----uploads/
...

--english/
----cache/
----class/
----Frameworks/
----images/
...

With a separate XOOPS install for each portal and Frameworks and xoopseditor?

The error messages still seem to indicate the files and folders are not in the correct places, especially the Frameworks folder.

The only 'possible' light I can shed on this is the PHP file that defines the function XoopsFormSelect() is called /class/xoopsform/formselect.php

Now, following the newbb forum manger 'edit', which is
/modules/newbb/admin/admin_forum_manager.php , and the files that are included (of significance) ....

/modules/newbb/class/formselectuser.php
--/class/xoopsform/formselectuser.php
----/class/xoopsform/formselect.php

and it is the file that does the include for /class/xoopsform/formselect.php (/class/xoopsform/formselectuser.php) that has had significant changes in 2.0.17

Is it that this ..



hasn't been included for some reason, and hence the function is undefined ??

The line before it is ..



which is a new line in 2.0.17

Both these includes are in /class/xoopsform/formselectuser.php

???

Yes, that is how the structure is setup (some of those are on different domains, but that is irrelevant).

You are correct about Frameworks, it isn't in the place where you have indicated that it should be, it's like this ..

--africa/
----cache/
----class/
----images/
...
--chile/
----cache/
----class/
----images/
...
--Frameworks/

Dear friends,
I followed all you last instructions posted here, and finally I could install the forum cbb 3.8
--portugues/
----cache/
----class/
----Frameworks/
----images/

1. The installation was with Frameworks 1.10
2. I check the debug mode and the forum is correct without errors
3. Conclusion definitively the forum 3.8 works well in XOOPS 2.0.17
Please see the working forum here http://www.ipwgc.net/portugues/modules/newbb/index.php

Note: The only question I have without answer: If the forum CBB 3.8 works with Frameworks 1.20?
(I'm going to do a test to see that it happens, and I will give a return.)

//////////////////////////// REGARDING A NEWBB 2.0.2 ///////////////////////

QUESTION: I should assume that the database of cbb 3.8 is the same of NewBB 2.0.2 ??

This is what I pretend to do, in order to upgrade the forums in the other portals:
1. Download from sql all forum tables database
2. I will erase the forum newbb 2.0.2
3. I will install a new and fresh version cbb 3.8
4. I will place the tables of the forum in SQL database
5. Or you recommend me upgrade direct without these steps above?

Thank you, peterr, skenow, davidl2
Definitively the XOOPS support is the best of the best, (y es el mejor de los mejores) congratulations.

Blessings,
David
