I can confirm anderssk's post that xoopsfaq 1.1 is not working properly with XOOPS 2.3. While I can add a category and new question okay (unlike anderssk), when I try to edit a question, the Question text is there, BUT the Answer text always is BLANK (empty).

I have a similar problem with news 1.1 and mylinks 1.1, for which there appear to be newer compatible versions (which I will be testing). I recently upgraded an XOOPS site from 2.0.18.1 to 2.3 for such testing.

PHP Version 5.2.6
MySQL Version 5.0.16

xoopsfaq 1.1
news 1.1
mylinks 1.1

are there any fixes available for these three modules to get them working with 2.3.x. jph000 suggests the latter two may have newer versions which are compatible but i could not find them.

thanks

Andrew

Get News 1.63 from here:
http://xoops.instant-zero.com/modules/repository/product.php?prod_id=1

Works perfectly with XOOPS 2.3.x

I haven't really looked closely at XoopsFAQ 1.1, in fact I only looked at a couple of things briefly but what I found is that it isn't really PHP5 compliant (still has $HTTP_GET_VARS and $HTTP_POST_VARS references) unless you turn on 'register long arrays' - which I wouldn't recommend. You might try replacing the $HTTP_GET_VARS and $HTTP_POST_VARS with $_GET and $_POST respectively to see if this fixes the issue you're seeing. You'll find $HTTP_GET_VARS in ./index.php (line 30) and ./admin/index.php (lines 36-37) and $HTTP_POST_VARS in ./admin/index.php (lines 42-43).

This isn't really a XOOPS 2.3 problem but a PHP5 change...

The PHP5 fix that zyspec mentioned is easy enough; however, I replaced news 1.1 with News 1.63, xoopsfaq 1.1 with SmartFAQ 1.08, and mylinks1.1 with WF-Links 1.06 for my PHP5 XOOPS 2.3 test site.

Elsewhere I've posted some remarks about XHTML validation testing for some new and old modules which required the $HTTP_*_VARS fix also. On an old XOOPS 2.0.18.1 PHP4 site I've fixed some old modules for XHTML validation as well as preparation for moving to PHP5 with XOOPS 2.3.

Thanks for the replies all :) very helpful.

inregards to jph000's suggested alternatives do these installed over the exitsing the modules - upgrading them (and keeping the orginal data) or do we have to rebuild?

thanks

Yes, installing the newer modules preserved the prior data. I backed up everything before doing so, just in case. My notes indicated:

SmartFAQ 1.08 can import FAQs from xoopsfaq 1.1. Cool!

News 1.63 installed over news 1.1, completely replacing the old module. The new version co-opted the prior database tables. Cool!

WFlinks 1.06 co-opts mylinks 1.1 database tables. Cool!
