Modules: New users guide for installing CBB 3.07

Posted by: jensclasOn 2006/11/2 19:40:00 7523 reads

A guide has been written for new users to assist them with
1. The location and download of the three directories required for installation of CBB 3.07
2. The upload of the directories and installation of CBB
3. Screen shots of the editors avilable for use on CBB 3.07
4. A method for setting the default template (Until it is made selectable in administration)

The guide is part of a started 'Users Manual' for CBB and is hosted on xoops.docs. You will find the guide here. New users need to be aware the guide assumes you have some knowledge about managing your site and uploading modules. If you are really new you should also avail yourself of the operations guide from hereand use the FAQ section here at xoops.org.

An excellent write up! Very clear and the screenshots are really useful. My only suggestion might be to reword the bit where it says "For good measure you should also update the system module." IRO updating CBB. Some users might get confused as to whether this means download the latest XOOPS and upgrade the system that way, or just whether you click 'Update' for the system 'module' after upgrading CBB.

But very good.

And I'm glad I'm not the only one DavidL!

I have followed the instructions to the letter, have the "latest everything" and have installed the files exactly as in the guide (thank you, by the way!).

So far as I can tell, CBB3.07 is working fine except for the fact that I can only select from the following editors:

Plain Text
DHTML Form with xCode
Extended DHTML Form

However, in the class/xoopseditor/ directory on the server I have the following sub-directories:

dhtmlext
dhtmltextarea
FCKeditor
koivi
textarea

Do I need to do something extra to make FCKeditor and/or koivi available to me or users?

Sorry if this is a basic question but I'm new at this and it's beginning to bug me

Also, where do I find the other editor mentioned in the guide (TinyEditor)?

Very many thanks for listening....

Perhaps you can post this at the place where we need to ask for help: http://dev.xoops.org/modules/xfmod/project/?newbb

If you can see the editors then there must be something that is preventing them from showing up and i am afriad I don't have the skills to provide an answer. As for Tiny editor now that you ask this I wonder if it is because i had installed the tiny editor module a long time ago - in anticipation I think as i could never get it to work on CBB but now it is there. The tiny editor I have on my site is version 0.5 - there have been later releases since then. Now I will need to go back and change the text of the help guide as it is not in the editors as i thought - thanks for pointing this out. To find out more about tiny editor please go here

I cant get this to work...

I install CBB 3.07 (an frameworks and editors) and go to categories in the admin and try to create a category, I get sent to an empty page. If I delete the test category, I get sent to the same empty page and is unable to get back to the page with the "create new category" button is.

The permissions link in the admin sends me to a blank page. So does the order button.

I am using XOOPS 2.0.15

Getting sent to an empty page......

Same thing happens to me if I select either FCKeditor or Koivi editor. It works OK when I've selected one of the DHTML editors instead.

Happy bunny here now

I re-uploaded the xoopseditors and the Frameworks and now all works as per the guide.

However, I think that the real solution was to "enable HTML" in the forums.

I can now select from all the editors.

Unfortunately, uploading/installing Tinyeditor Beta 1 totally screws the system, but that's an issue for elsewhere

Anyone have a link where you can get the guide?

The link is not working and it's not listed at XOOPS documentation or at http://dev.xoops.org/modules/xfmod/project/?newbb

Thanks!

Unfortunately the website hsoting xoopsdocs complete is down and the temporary fix only contains the offical finished docs. This doc was in the workspace which currently cannot be accessed. Unfortunately I did not keep a copy of it eslewhere - (I will in the future) - As soon as i can put my hands on it I will write a backup copy! Please use the forums if you are have troube following the install guide.
