Greetings - XOOPS 2.0.9.2, PHP5

I unziped the into my modules directory and when I go to the admin modules area I get the following error:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare WfsArticle::$groupid in D:\apache2triad\htdocs\modules\wfsection\class\wfsarticle.php on line 89

The module does not even show up in the to be installed list. Also, once this error is encountered other modules that should show up on the list do not.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Thanks In Advance.

Hi artigas,

If you uzipped directly to the modules directory, you probably have extra folders that should not be there. Uzip it locally and find the module root directory and copy that to the modules directory.

But then now I see php 5, there could be a problem there too.

I assume that you are using the latest beta, 2.0.7.

Wfsections has kind of a complicated install routine.

If you read the readme, it asked you to read the docs in the doc folder.

Before install:

wfsection/images
wfsection/images/article
wfsection/images/article/thumbs
wfsection/images/category
wfsection/images/category/thumbs
wfsection/images/logos
wfsection/images/logos/thumbs
wfsection/cache
wfsection/cache/thumbs
wfsection/cache/uploaded

chmod all to 777

Create a folder
Create a folder named 'thumbs' within {xoops-rootdirectory}/uploads and chmod that folder to 777

You then install the module as usual.

Then last:

Set module permissions
Most important step now will be to setup the group permissions for the module via Xoops: System --> groups

Greetings - Thank you for the response.

I apologize for not giving enough information on my post, it lead to some confusion.

This is not being installed in a unix/linux type of system. It is being installed on XP Home. I am testing different modules on my laptop. Then I will choose what goes on the hosted site. This will be a linux server. I have to work in both worlds.

I did find the correct directory and moved it to the modules directory.

I was the latest 2.0.7 beta.

I believe the error is one of running PHP5 so I have left a message in the authors website.

Again thank you for your response and my apologies for the lack of information.
