Did you upload the correct folders?

The main folder of a module holds the file xoops_version.php.
That one must be uploaded into the modules folder. Sometimes there are some more top levels which dont belong there in packaged modules.

ah no definitely uploaded the correct folder have been using / modding XOOPS for a while now but this is a problem i aint come across before

the reason why I find it very strange is because i was about to try about 3 new modules and they were all at the bottom of the module admin page waiting to be installed and when i uninstalled an old module i dont want on the site anymore (newbb) the list of modules waiting to be installed disapeared

What modules are you having trouble with?

1. Check if they are compatible with your XOOPs version. If so...

2. Delete those module directories from your server and reupload. Perhaps the files have gotten corrupted.

Unlikely that another module would prevent them from displaying in Admin. Any conflicts would become apparent only during or after you have installed the new modules.

thanks for the suggestion andy i'm 100% sure the files aren't corrupt (it was after i uninstalled the membership module that the problem began)

the thing that has me 100% sure files aren't corrupt is because there was another 2-3 modules that i where waiting to be installed and when i uninstalled the one module they are disappeared from the list at the bottom (but yet the files are all in the module directory fully intact on the server)

REALLY confusing

it might be worth mentioning i upgraded from 2.0.07 to 2.0.13 (incrementally as well) shortly before the problem appeared

i'm thinking of re-uploading and over writing all of the files in the systems module to see if that will fix the problem , do you guys reckon that could sort it (don't wanna risk making a bad problem worse)

i've also just discovered a custom php block i had on the homepage has suddenly stopped working (as in the content isn't there but the block title is ) was wondering if the two might be linked?

thanks for the suggestions so far guys appreciate the help in getting to the bottom of this

Move the new module folders away for testing ... just into some other directory outside of the modules folder so you dont have to reupload.
Just keep the basic ones like the system module and then move them back one by on into place and see what happens.

hi bender , tried what you suggested but the problem remained the same thoughout the process

BUT the debugger has given me this error message

Quote:
Notice [PHP]: Constant _DB_POSLINE_DESC already defined in file modules/backup/language/english/modinfo.php line 24


could this be the problem / how is it fixed?

update: have the modules working again it seemed to be a problem with my backup module (just uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it's working fine now)


for the second part of my problem i have a customer php block on the home page that for some reason has completely stopped working since upgrading to 2.0.13

the code used in the block is

Quote:
include("http://artists.cpu.ie//ranking.php?mode=song&order=3&pagebreak=10&pagenum=1&header_template=latest_song_header.tpl&row_template=latest_song_row.tpl&footer_template=latest_song_footer.tpl");


it should look like the boxes athttp://www.v2-visuals.com/hosted/podcast/

does anyone know what the problem could be



ps: thanks for the help guys very much appreciated i shall be making a donation to XOOPS in your names

I believe the way you have to do this now (because of a change the the way headers are sent) is by wrapping it in an iframe. So the content of your custom block would look something like:

<iframe 
src ="http://artists.cpu.ie//ranking.php?mode=song&order=3&pagebreak=10&pagenum=1&header_template=latest_song_header.tpl&row_template=latest_song_row.tpl&footer_template=latest_song_footer.tpl">
</iframe>
