Hi,

Since a while we are using XOOPS 2.0.3 for our site and I have noticed one strange thing while working with the system: Every once in a while some links from the admin part end up in a blank page. This happened first with the mail users part and now with the Groups part. What happens is that when I click on a link to submit the emails or to to go to a group for setting the permissions, the browser begins to work for a while and then ends up in a blank page and nothing else happens.
The same link would have been working the day before!

Does anybody know what this could be?

Thanks in advance.

Probable cause: the number of users in the database is over 200, and the time it takes to load them into the page is too long, or the data too big, so the server times out.

Solution: this is fixed in 2.0.5

Hi Herko,

Thanks for your reply. You are right the database contains more than 300 users and I had also initially a problem to migrate the users to XOOPS, the same symptoms.
We are using 2.0.3 and have done some little modifications to the code. Is there a safe way to upgrade to a newer version while preserving the modifications?
(I guess this is a stupid question but I ask to be sure)

If you're using linux, there is a kompare under development menu. Using it to apply those different to your current system. But it'd depends on which one is more changed. It may be lower heavy if you reapply your modifications after upgrade.

I always record files and lines I changed due to this reason.

Well, if you are using Linux, you may try this way.

1. make your modified file the date later than the 2.0.5 upgrade files dated 10/8.

2. run cp -uR [205update]/html [yourdir]/html

3. use Kompare to check different files, apply new code to your modified files.


Good Luck.

I had a look at the files in the upgrade package and was also able to recall our modifications. I didn't need to do much. The upgrade was easy, painless and smooth.
The blank page problem is fixed

Thanks a lot.

I should have tested more
The blank page problem is only partially solved. The Mail users page still doesn't work.
Any clue what could cause the problem? I will try the debug option again and report, should I get any insight.
