Can't change Site Name and Slogan under General Settings

Thanks for the redirect Bender...

I can't make information stick in the Site Name and Slogan for your site fields. I enter the information and press the go button, but there's no change to my site. When I return to the General Settings page, both fields are blank again.

I'm going under System Admin>>>Preferences>>>General Setting >>>Site Name and Slogan for your site.

No problem updating other information on this form or on any other form--just those two fields.

I'm using XOOPS 2.05, if it matters.

Did you install using fantastico?

If so check this:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=11396&forum=7

and/or use search function with 'fantastico'. Doesn´t look too good though.

also, try this:

Note: Remember to effect all changes you must go to Sytem Admin -> Preferences -> General Setting [edit] -> and set "update module template.html..." to yes and then select go at bottom of screen. This will update your site to effect all changes (remember to go back once settings have taken effect and set same to no and update once again).

tjenemez--that was already set as you suggested, as I am on a "get it up and running while the wife is out of town" binge--so I've wanted to see all changes quickly.

Bender--Thanks--it appears there's a great deal of info on this. I'm sure it's the @#%&*!#$ Fantastico issue.

Well it's off to do some reading. I'll return with the results or the thread that already had the answer.
Thanks for the quick responses,
Brian

Haven't had time to work on this as much as I'd like but now I'm trading sleep to get back to it.

I wonder if this change in 2.07 would fix the problem if I simply upgraded.

A wikki search yielded the following forum thread:
Re-naming portal / Who's Online issue.

The answer to this problem is in this thread.

Specifically, I went into phpmyadmin, found the xoops_config table, found the slogan and sitename fields and fixed two entries in the 'conf_name' field.

You simply put (you may have to replace something) "sitename" (without the quotes) in the appropriate 'conf_name' field and "slogan" in the appropriate 'conf_name' field. Fantastico has this field mixed up. Once I fixed this problem--I went back into XOOPS and made the changes--and it WORKED!!


Thanks for those who responded and got me on the right track.

Brian
