For the first problem, try opening up kernel/module.php and see if there are any linebreaks after the closing ?>

For the second one, it sounds like a corrupted file upload. Try reuploading the file.

Just few questions about the new extended profil mod. Is it possible to get the complete list of members using the search feature. First i was surprised when i submitted the form without filling the fields because i got a "no members found".

It was possible in the "old" xoopsmember module to display the full list of members like this

Do we have to considere it as a substitute for xoopsmember or as a "plus".

thx

Default blocks can not be made invisible.

Wysiwyg editors do not work. Koivi Does!

Same as last release.

Hi,

Tried installing 2.2RC2 from scratch and in the end once I get to "Click HERE to see the home page of your site." next thing I see is :
Quote:

Warning [Xoops]: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "XXX/xxxx/themes/default/theme.html" in file XXX\xxxx\class\smarty\Smarty.class.php line 1084

It is exactly the same result that I got with previous RC. 2.0.13 seems to work fine. I have got PHP5. Sorry if this have been already answered somewhere - I could not find this exact problem described. I have also tried changing Debug setting in Recovery, and it does not seem to do much - I keep getting this error for various themes, if I have Debug = Off I get just an empty page.

I am only after 2.2 because of LDAP - can't wait to try it with XOOPS. I couldn't get LDAP hack to work with 2.0.13. Thank you for your time.

"Why am I being re-directed here?"

Why, indeed. The new release seems to go a bit overboard with security. I upgraded no problem. After logging on and off a few times, 2.2 now insists on redirecting me to an explanation about sessions, etc. That is all fine, but I don't have a firewall turned on and the same thing happens with any browser at any setting.

I think most casual users would be totally lost and move on to other sites rather than try to solve this.

It isn't - the username is shown.

"Why am I being re-directed here?"

When a database query fails and the HTTP REFERER check also fails, that page is loaded. So something is blocking your referer information.

Quote:

Warning [Xoops]: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "XXX/xxxx/themes/default/theme.html" in file XXX\xxxx\class\smarty\Smarty.class.php line 1084

Check the XXX/xxxx path to ensure that it is correct.

Quote:

Some blocks can be removed during the update, if there are several blocks that are identical except for the options. For example the Top News and Recent News blocks in News module. After the upgrade, there will only be one block, but you can instantiate as many as you want of that type from blocks admin.

Can you be more specific?

Can you be less specific?

I sure did - only replaced my original path with XXX/xxxx, they are valid and both theme.html and Smarty.class.php exist.

Installation goes smoothly but I ended up with the same result for RC and RC2. I just tried installing 2.0.13 from scratch to the same location ( removed all RC2 files and dropped its d/b ) and it worked fine.

I can't change Display name for user in User Profile, if I login as a user.

Maybe you should use only one name for Edit Account an Edit Profile, since this is the same function. My suggestion is to use View Profile instead View Account and Edit Profile instead Edit Account.

Hi.
In the package with XOOPS 2.2RC there is koivi editor in clas/xoopseditor folder.
It means there are any e_a_s_y way to pick this editor as default system editor?
Do You make some pre-configuration i new XOOPS release?
Custom editor configuration was always very stressfull (for me)....

After updating from 2.2RC to 2.2RC2, no user can be registered.
Everybody gets the following error messagr:
Displayname is too short. It must be more than 3 characters.
ERROR: Displayname taken.

This happens to everybody no matter how long the name is or what name is using.

I understand. My point was that if I am having trouble finding why I have a referrer blocking problem, I don't know how I can expect a casual user to handle this.

This was a constant problem on one of our sites with probably 10-20 people a day complaining about how they could not register for our forum. We had re-directs and explanations about what needed to be done all over the place. But the fact was that most people gave up rather than try to change their firewall and/or other settings. Having access to a particular site is generally not worth the bother of changing the user's own settings to most users. It is just a fact of Web life.

We ended up hacking the code to return a true for all referrer inquiries. That may be a security risk, but it was far preferable to having to field 10-20 complaints a day. Plus, for every complaint there were probably a dozen others who did not bother complaining and just moved on to other sites.

So, I personally think it would be helpful to have this as an admin setting rather than have to hack the code.

I was having this problem with 2.2 RC and I'm still having it with 2.2 RC2. None of the center blocks show up on my index page. Also, when I hit View Profile or Edit Profile it just says that selected module doesn't existed.

Anyone have any ideas?

Great work!!! Small improvement: in the Admin section, in the "Modules" menue, please move "Administration" submenu to the top. I have a lot of moduls and every time I have to scroll to the bottom, which is time consuming.

@Birdseed: Yeah found it. Didn't do any harm, but didn't do any good either. Query removed if no block ids

@Rocenos: Any debug errors with PHP debug? Are the blocks still there in blocks administration?

I figured the blocks part out. For some reason it had the blocks down for the banned user group even though that was not the way it was before. I can now see the blocks after fixing that but I still get this error while browsing Blocks Administration:

 Warning [PHP]: main(/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/marchingowls.com/httpdocs//class/xoopsform/formselectlist.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in file /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/marchingowls.com/httpdocs/class/xoopsformloader.php line 38

The Edit Account/View Account thing also works but only when I have the Extended Profiles Module Activated. I didn't want to have two different places to edit and view change accounts so I disabled it. Is there anyway to get around that? When I have it enabled, the view profile and edit profile buttons work but my forums don't seem to be displaying names correctly and I just get blank pages when going to them.

I'm sorry if this is confusing.

Smart Mods Not Compatible at the moment

I am going to post this in the forums too, but I think people need to be aware that, per this article the Smart modules are not, at the moment, compatible with 2.2. Marcan has promised an update sometime after August 1. I can verify that SmartFAQ does NOT work with 2.2. Blank pages. This was pretty surprising to me. I just didn't want anyone to be taken by surprise, and angered, in the highly unlikely event that you do try these on a production site.( )

I can't acces the preferences of my modules using the new admin menu. I have first to select an item in the menu eg : forum -> categories then i can select the preferences in the central block.

I think it would be easier to let admins access modules preferences directly on the menu (like in 2.0.x series).

2.2RC -> 2.2RC2 update error

kutovoy Published 07/23/2005 13:55 Updated 07/23/2005 13:56 Just popping in Joined 07/11/2005 Comments 17

Hi,
I'm have some strange error with updating my debug XOOPS site, steps to reproduce are here:

1. I had 2.0.13 (en+ru - I'm switching between languages frequently).
2. updated to 2.2rc. (without executing Xoops2010-210.php, but after updating System module all seems to be ok)
3. updated to 2.2rc2, executed xoopsupdate.php, updated System module.

What I have:
* at system preferences (and only there), at General Settings I have _each_ option avalaible _twice_ with _different_ values... Looks like:

option1 oldvalue
option1 newvalue
...
optionn oldvalue
optionn newvalue

In xoops_config table I have rows with identical conf_modid && conf_catid && etc but with conf_value different...

May be that is due to skipping executing Xoops2010-210.php but... Does kernel have checks for unique config options to be inserted in tables?..

Best regards.

hotfix for all pd-modules

krobi Published 07/23/2005 18:56 Updated 07/23/2005 18:59 Quite a regular Joined 12/21/2003 Comments 290

hi all

as pd-modules users maybe know there is a problem with pd-modules (pd-links & pd-downloads) and XOOPS 2.2.

we have found the bug and you its quiet easy to fix the bug - so here is the manual what do you have to do.

the best thing about the hotfix, the modules will work with XOOPS 2.0.x AND XOOPS 2.2 now.
----------------------------
here is the hotfix:
go to your pd-module folder (pd-links or pd-downloads) then open the file called "index.php" the one that is in the sub-folder called "admin".

so then around line 140 you will find these code segment:

Quote:

ob_start();
$sform -> addElement(new XoopsFormHidden('cid', $cid));
$mytree -> makeMySelBox('title', 'title', $cid, 1);
$sform -> addElement(new XoopsFormLabel(_AM_PDD_FILE_CATEGORY, ob_get_contents()));
ob_end_clean();

delete this line from the segment:

Quote:

$sform -> addElement(new XoopsFormHidden('cid', $cid));

now everything should work.

Thanks and small issue!

When testing this RC with piCal, I get an error in the piCal event submission screen... "Warning: main(/home/better/public_html/include/calendarjs.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/better/public_html/modules/piCal/index.php on line 115".

Neither "calendar.js" nor "calendarjs.php" appear in the /include directory. I believe these files used to be included in previous distribution sets of XOOPS.

Will these files be distributed with future releases, or is this something I need to address specifically to the creator of piCal?

Clean install on RC2
Install wizard accepted all my settings but it just would not connect to the database.
I then deleted the database and opted for asking the wizard to try to create it. It was able to create it OK but then on the CHECK screen, same again, one green, one red....database does not exist.
(by the way it reads exists...an extra s...)

I looked at the mainfile.php and noted an extra space after the name of the database.
...
// Database Name
// The name of database on the host. The installer will attempt to create the database if not exist
define('XOOPS_DB_NAME', 'name_of_database ');

So, I deleted the space and...it worked.
define('XOOPS_DB_NAME', 'name_of_database');

Hope this is useful...

and I don't mean to nag, this is great stuff....thanks so much.

Can you please tell me who translated calendar to slovenian language ?

Because it is a very bad translation!

Hello there, and especially Mithrandir [size=xx-small](don't know who else are involved...)[/size],

Today installed a full version of X 2.2RC2.
No problems, but I did not install much modules.

Then I installed an upgrade from 2.0.13 to 2.2RC2 on an existing (local backup) site. Update went smoothly; instructions were clear.
A few things to report:
1- Nice admin interface!
2- On first visit home page was shown blank center. Had to put all blocks back in place. No big deal.
3- I lost all my custom HTML blocks. Can't find them in blocks. In the groups admin I found 1 (of approx. 3) listed. Could not make it visible again.
4- Lucky for me I had all HTML content as files in Dreamweaver, so I could make mew custom blocks. If this can't be fixed, I advice to add to instructions that admins backup this HTML before update and then make new blocks.
5- Coincidence? The only blocks I did not lose are the custom blocks that were center center.
6- Liaise 1.24 gives only blank pages, but the developers of Liaise are already busy with an upgrade, as they posted this week.
7- New user admin options, such as required fields, and the possibilty to add fields to registration, come in very handy!!
8- The private messaging part seems unlogical to me to put in main menu. Why not in user menu, or optional were to put it?
9- Same for the extended profiles part, but perhaps I'm missing a clue here?
10- As far as I can see for now, all my modules, except Liaise, work. That are smartfaq 1.04, news 1.31, multimenu 1.74, newbb 1.12, wfsection 2.06, wflinks 1.03, xf guestbook 2.22, pical 0.8, xhld 2.99.

Hope this does not seem a lot of critique, in the contrary, I think X2.2 is gonna be a great XOOPS version, and compliments for the tremendous amount of work you must have made, Mith and possible other contributors!!

Greetings,

Ronaldus

Edit after reading a few comments on this issue: is there a WYSIWYG editor? Hidden? Where to find?

@gambero: The calendar js translations are taken from the jsCalendar third party script. I'll work on putting this in the language folders in future XOOPS versions for easier translations

@Ronaldus:
1: Thanks
2: Kinda weird... that shouldn't happen
3: Yes, we are aware of this unfortunate side-effect and believe we have found a fix for it. I will conduct a few experiments before releasing XOOPS 2.2 final
4: see 3.
5: Must be
6: Yes, Liaise uses a global variable that is not supposed to be there and therefore is removed in 2.2
7: Thanks, improvements to the interface will be in future XOOPS versions
8: The user menu is hard-coded, whereas both the Profile and PM functionality is now in modules. There is no way for a module to add items to the user menu (perhaps there should be? We'll think about that in future XOOPS versions)
9: See 8.
10: Great.

Not much critique there If only everyone had so little critique

No critique from me, I think XOOPS 2.2 is terrific

One little thing I've noticed in the Profiles module though, is the category weight isn't being used for display in admin or user profile...

Ronaldus,

If you haven't updated your SmartFAQ, I would advise against it. It was when I updated my SmartFAQ install that it quit working. And, it did quit working. Just a thought...

All the best..

Re: XOOPS 2.2 RC2 Released

Ronaldus Published 07/24/2005 21:18 Friend of XOOPS Joined 05/08/2004 Comments 389

Thx Chappy,
I'll experiment with a fresh and clean install of 2.2 and then install some modules to see how they function. SmartFAQ shouldn't work then either...
Untill then I won't update on my other site...

This is something we should hope for: that module developers quickly release an updated version.

OH: btw: how about the wysiwyg?
Is it IN 2.2?
Where to find?

Greetz,

Ronaldus

very cool demo site. this is helpful, because it let's us see what is "supposed" to be so that we need not wonder at length whether a "change" was intended or the result of a bad install.

It seems that avatars are no longer uploadable by the user. Not sure if this was a feature previously or a hack I added, but it's not available in 2RC2.

If you post your issues rather than just saying it doesn't work, then 2.2 will become stable a lot quicker.

Did a fresh install, works like a charm.

Almost all modules I installed seem to work fine:

AMS
Sitemap
News 1.3
DocManager Documentation center
XoopsGallery (Search not working)

Only module giving me trouble is SmartFAQ:

Blocks and Groups tab: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: getbymodule() in /var/www/intratest/modules/smartfaq/admin/myblocksadmin.php on line 48

Q&A Tabb: Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /var/www/intratest/modules/smartfaq/include/displayfaqs.php on line 52

The other tabs work fine. I can create categories, but the Q&A appear nowhere. On the frontend is says "No Q&A to Display"

Anyone?

Thanks, this is actually kind of helpful - I know nothing about Smarty or what it is trying to look for in that file. It just puzzles me there is no such problem with 2.0.13 on my system - clearly there have got to be some difference in XOOPS then .. unless I have some really odd system setup.

Do you think it means it can not read the theme file altogether or can not find some particular info in that file ( but did open the file successfully ) ? I am a bit confused about what 'resource' means here.

This is at least my 3rd post in this thread - I suggest you scroll further down ( p.2 I think ) to read the description of the problem ( more info on some other page ). I do tech support for a living so I know what it is like to deal with "doesn't work" type of whinging.

Usually the "cannot read resource" means that a template is not in the system - which is usally due to modules using templates that haven't been added to the database through a module update.

But in this case, we are looking for a physical file that you say is there... We haven't changed all that much, mainly just moving code around... so I'm quite puzzled as to why it cannot find it.

The word "resource" is probably used, since the contents can come from the database and is not always a file (e.g. in XOOPS, templates are stored in the database, where theme files are taken directly from the file)

@Gambero:
I'm calculating with tomorrow. Still need a few loose ends tied.

I'm surprised that WF-Downloads works... I found that I had to comment out line 156:

$sform -> addElement(new XoopsFormHidden('cid', $cid));

in modules/wfdownloads/admin/index.php for it to not put new downloads in an empty category, resulting in fatal errors when displaying it (same stuff is in the SMART modules, btw).

Hi Mithy,

Maybe you don't see my comment
Module-wide Cache don't work. I try with "PM" module, "profile" and an other module that i develop and the core don't generate cache for the pages, but the cache work with module.

Cheers

Mithrandir Published 07/25/2005 13:57 XOOPS is my life! Joined 06/21/2003 Comments 6320

Module-wide caching is working perfectly fine.

I just don't feel that User A should be presented with User B's PM inbox, so the PM module has caching disabled for the most part (no, I am not making one cache group for each user for each of the pages in this module - try considering how that would be on xoops.org with 30000+ users)

Likewise, when you view your own user profile, it is not cached.

I understand. More over it's very dificult to do this because 1 user could be in more than 1 group

For my module, i select "Module-wide cache" : 1 hour, but the content isn't caching, why ?
Top of my page :

 include '../../mainfile.php'; 
$GLOBALS['xoopsOption']['template_main'] = 'extcal_index.html'; 
include XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/header.php';

Thanks
