XOOPS Version: 2.0.14rc1
Module Name/Version: DMS
PHP Version: 4.4.2
MySQL Version:4.4.27
Web Server Software (Apache/IIS/Other):Apache ver 1.3.36
Operating System: winxp
Theme you are using: default
Custom template: default
PHP Debug Messages: many related to:" Notice [PHP]: Only variable references should be returned by reference" in many various files
MySQL Debug Messages: n/a
Smarty Debug Messages: n/a
A full description of the issue: 2 issues

1. Set debug in preferences and received a series of the above types of messages.

Should I be concerned and work to remove all such messages?
Or are some of these expected?

2.I have installed this at two locations, first one to personally evaluate XOOPS and installed the DMS module and I think that I set it to be present in the main menu and it does display in the menu.

Second install at same host, different url for group evaluation. Installed the DMS module and it does indicate that it is present and installed in the admin, It does not display as a selection in the main menu. Have attempted to cross check all settings between the two installs and can determine no differences. Yet it still does not display as a selection in the main menu or anywhere that I can determine.

These installs are basic and new so that I can re-install if needed. But would like to understand in a bit more depth so as to be able to determine future problems especially when and if these might present themselves after there is much information entered.

I have the install and operation PDF's and find no assistance to troubleshooting this problem.

Thank You for any assistance/guidance

First of all php notices are nothing to be concerned about. When it says 'warning' or 'error' then you have a problem. Simply turn off phpdebug and the 'notices' will go away.

Unfortunately I'm not familiar with the DMS module...but since you wish to troubleshoot this module you could post specifically about it in the module troubleshooting forum. However there are a few things you can do first:

You have probably have all the offical documentation - what about checking out this tutorial on module deployment and other tutorials at this site. This first one will take you through checking everything was done right.

The most important place to look for help on this site is the FAQ section - and there is a section for errors, and for modules in there - so take a little more time for some research there and you might find some answers.

Finally use the 'search' function - type in DMS Module and you might find this has been discovered and discussed before.

Good luck - sorry I couldn't be more specific!

jensclas,

Thank you for your reply.

I had tried the search function to no avail. But will look at the docs that you have pointed me to.

Again Thank You
