I have come up with a way that will allow site admins to change the properties of the mainfile.php file without actually having to get into another program to do it. The few files that I have working are available for beta download here. Please read the readme.txt file within the rar for installation instructions.

Feedback is needed on the linux chmod functions of this hack.

Thanks for the input,

I've added a few more things to it, and changed some of the ways that it handled certain criteria. For the latest version, just download it from the same link above.

For some reason I can't download your file.

Any way if you are to modify the mainfile online from admin, would this mean the mainfile.php need to be chmoded to have write permissions and if so would this not create a security problem, as XOOPS advises to chmod the file to have no write permissions to stop others from writing to it?

Correct, but with this hack it allows you to chmod it back to the read only state after modifications are made.

Let me see what is going on with the download thing.....

The download should work now..... Please do not try this on a live site. This is for testing purposes only. All feedback is much appreciated.

G'day All. I have made the changes, but nothing appears to have changed. I am, however, unsure as to what you mean by "Update your system module to see the changes in your system popout menu." Could you please explain this process.

Thanks for any help.
