Your modules can be found in the "modules" directory on the main folder.
The versions of the modules can be found in the xoops_version.php file for each module.
I just tried going to the site and it says that most things don't exist.
It looks more and more like something didn't transfer when you transfered the database.
Can you confirm the site worked properly under the old host?
I am not sure how to identify the xoops version without being able to get into the admin menu. Is this a site you are administering or is someone else? You really need admin access to the site to properly check things out. Even if you are given a temporary password to do so.
Do you have phpmyadmin on both systems? You might want to do a comparison between the two sites and make sure everything transferred over as is and nothing was changes.
You can do an export to a CSV file and compare the two. This would probably be the most telling way to compare visually. And I would start with the area you are having issues with (news).
Are people able to login and do everything else ok?
You may need to get to to admin menu and do something as simple as update the modules starting with the system module first.
Resolving this issue may be very difficult if you can not access the admin menu. You may also want to turn on debugging for this system which can be done without admin access as long as you can access the database with something like phpmyadmin.
To make changes to the debug setting in the database pull up your table listing and it will be in your config table. (There is a random 4 character combination an underscore and then the word config for the name of the table.)
If we look for the item in the table listed under field "conf_name" you will find an entry of "debug_mode". To change this setting you will need to follow the same line and look for the "conf_value" field. This is the actual value for the debug setting.
The possible values are 0, 1, 2, or 3
0 = debug off (Normal value)
1 = Inline debugging on (lists at bottom of page)
2 = Popup debugging on (Will pop up a message on each screen refresh)
3 = Smarty templates debug. (Never have used this so not sure what this is.)
This should tell you if you are missing an entry in the database, the file is missing or inaccessible or whatever is going on.
