Settings doesn't work
  • Ridagold February 2012
    Hi, I've just installed Xoda in my Dreamhost hosting and tried to modify the settings. Everything is working fine... except the Settings feature. I tried it in Firefox and Chrome, with the pop up blocker disabled, but everytime I click on Settings, nothing goes on. All the others buttons work fine. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    which version did you try? The one from the one-click install? Even though this was never reported for any version, try the last release (xoda-0.4.0) or the current version using
    svn co https://xoda.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xoda/trunk xoda
    I develop XODA completely on Dreamhost and use it by myself exclusively there. I never had this problem though.

    The following may help tracking the problem: open it in Firefox and open the browser's "Tools -> Web Developer -> Error Console" (or press Ctrl+Shift+J). Hit "Clear" to delete any previous error messages or warnings from other sites and then click "Settings" in XODA. Take a look at the output in the Error Console and let us know what it is.
    Thanks!

    Btw. you don't have to disable the pop-up blocker in order to use XODA. :)

    Hi, Betso.
    Thank you for your quick answer. I didn't use the one-click, but the stable version downloaded from your site. I'll download the nightly and try it. I'll also do the Error Console stuff. I'll keep in touch.
    Best regards

    The "overlay" effect (used to get "Settings") was completely rewritten in 0.4.0 because I had some unexpected trouble with the (otherwise excellent and until then used) iBox library. The way it works now is intended to be the more straight forward, lighter, and simple approach which, I hope, results in speed improvement and reduced load on both server and client sites.
    Having said this, if I screwed anything about this, then not only "Settings" shouldn't be working but also any other functionality using the overlay effect like "Create", "Transfer", "Upload", and "Info" (clicking on the icon of a file/directory). I'm really curious about the output of the Error Console.
    Did you actually do a fresh install or just an upgrade? For the latter you would need to alter config.php (as suggested in the Manual) before using it because of the newly implemented and also rewritten user management.
    Thanks for the feedback and keep me posted please! :)

    Hi, betso.
    After installing 0.4.0 downloaded from your site (how can I know which version have I installed?) I could open the Settings box but couldn't open the tabs. Error console in Firefox stated "stab is not defined" every time I click on a tab. I changed "'root' => true;" to "'privileges' => '1'" in the config.php as written in the manual. I made a screen capture to see if it explains anything. By the way, this imaged was successfully uploaded through the upload box of my Xoda installation. It seems to be a trouble only in the settings box. Best regardsimage

    Ridagold, I am gonna send you an email (I hope you registered here with a working one).
    For everyone else: it is a bug with the filenames and I will try to fix it. I looked at it in the past but was not able to get a quick fix.
    Please, try using only regular characters in the file/directory names!
