I have been having problems with accessing XOOPS admin

Now, probably my only solution is to update to 2.4.4 . I currently use 2.0.18.1 , and

These are the only modules I currently use:

Liaise - 1.26
protector - 3.4
Site Map - 1.30
Smartobject - 0.9
Smartsection - 2.13
Wflinks - 1.03C
Xhld0 - 3.07

I see protector is now in the core 2.4.4 , so I don't have to be concerned about that.

What about those other modules ? Are they still in use, safe to use with 2.4.4, safe to upgrade to, or even, should I use a different module (like Smartsection has gone over to ??cube or something).

Thanks,

Pete

I think they all will run or have a compatible version.
You can try it out on a local server with eg XAMPP.

Liaise work, but try xForms fork (it can import from Liaise)

Update SmartObject and SmartSection (actual is 2.14 or try Publisher fork in alpha stage, also can import from SS)

I don't know about other mods, but they should work. Try to find is there any new versions of them.

hi'

Lastest versions :

• Liaise - 1.26 --> xForms 1.01
• protector - 3.4 --> ok. There is a beta version Protector 3.50
• Site Map - 1.30 --> ok. There is also an enchancement by Tank55
• Smartobject - 0.9 --> don't know
• Smartsection - 2.13 --> Smartsection 2.14. But you should use Publisher as already said before
• Wflinks - 1.03C --> WF-Links 1.08
• Xhld0 - 3.07 --> XHLD 3.08

Thanks for that link, very useful and interesting site. I'm running Linux/Ubuntu now locally, so technically I could add Apache and MySQL fairly easily. That said, I might just add a seperate path on current site to install it all 'afresh', from memory it's only a few path names then to change, to move it all to current 'home' path.

Downloaded xForms, it has no readme or such and a few EXE and INI files, looks kinda 'windo-ish' to me. But will try it out. Liaise doesn't do any captcha, so I do get some spam from it now.

Will be nice to drop SmartObject and Smartsection, in place of Publisher. I see there is no archive for Publisher, will just do a wget recursive to grab those files. Hopefully, it is stable. I didn't think much of Smartfactory moving away from XOOPS, so will be nice to drop Smartsection.

Thanks for all those links. I had a quick look at 2..4.4 , and it seems Protector is already included in XOOPS core, so now no need to get the module I assume. That said, it would be prudent to keep to the latest version. I'm assuming the Protector in XOOPS core is no different from the 'same version' of Protector, as a single module.

Fairly sure Smartobject was only needed because of Smartsection, so if I go to Publisher, then I can drop Smartobject as well.

I have always had to modify XOOPS userinfo.php as follows (lines added between //BEGIN and //END statements)



This was always added, because I never liked the fact that a guest user could do this:

http://www.example.com/userinfo.php?uid=1

and find out the username of 'admin' ; not real good for security. Hopefully XOOPS has come a bit further now, in that respect, and there would be no need for that mod.

Thanks to all for your replies,

Pete

... exe application is just needed if you want to clone module.


About Protector 3.50beta, take care : there is a new security option (last one in module Preferences). If you move 1 file one your server, you get a blank page Hopefully you can desactivate this protection (yes / no checkbox).

Thanks for the tip about the blank page with that beta version of protector. Sounds a bit tricky. :)

What I said in this
post about the one line of code I have always had to add, to stop guests
viewing profiles (and hence getting the usernames). Is that "fixed" in 2.4.4 ?

I think I'll do a complete new install of 2.4.4, as there are problems I've
been having with 2.0.18.1 accessing admin (it can't for some reason). Looking at the release notes for 2.4.4 it says

Yet, I see that Protector is already included in 2.4.4, in 'xoops_lib' and in
/modules/protector/ ??

Also, is weblinks better than wf-links ?

The version 1.08 link shown above doesn't have the usual 'additional' paths contained in wflinks, like /uploads/images/

Also, it doesn't contain the wflinks 'plugins' for other modules. That said, thank you very much for sending me vers 1.08 a few days ago. :)

Thanks,

Pete
