Save error in site settings

If I try to change the site settings and I hit Save then I get the following error:

Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in /home/site/public_html/administrator/components/com_uhp2/uhp2.upload.class.php on line 127
Avatar S1: The uploaded file type is invalid.

This normally happens when either no directory or an invalid directory is specified in the UHP2 admin configuration - Directory page

Do I need to install RJS

No installation is required and no system files or registry changes are required. Just unzip the package into any directory on disk, flash drive etc and run the joomla.exe
Administrator

How does RJS work

RJS uses the well known Uniform server to provide the AMP environment with the addition of the Unitray plugin to control access to various additional options. When you run joomla.exe the following actions occur:

Administrator

windows cannot find w:\home\admin\WWW\redirect.html make sure you typed the name correctly

This is normally due to a conflict in your pc configuration, check that you are not running another web server e.g. Microsoft IIS. You can easily test this by entering the url http://localhost in your webbrowser if you get something back the another program is already running on port 80.

It can also be caused if you are running Skype which also runs on port 80.

If you already have a drive w: on your pc you will need to change that or amend the RJS start and stop batch files
Administrator

How can I move my locally developed RJS site to another server

It is very easy to take a site developed locally and move it to another server.

1. Copy the contents of the /joomla directory to the root of your new website, either by zipping them and unzipping or ftp'ing etc.

2. Backup and then restore your database - use phpmyadmin in RJS to generate a full export of your joomla database to a file. Use phpmyadmin on your hosting service to create a database and then import the file from RJS

3. Edit your configuration.php file to reflect the new values. Specifically the following:

$mosConfig_user = 'joomla_joomla';
$mosConfig_password = 'password';
$mosConfig_db = 'joomla_joomla';
$mosConfig_absolute_path = '/home/joomla/public_html';
$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://www.joomla.org';
$mosConfig_cachepath = '/your absolute path/cache';

Note: You may also need to ensure you have configured your .htaccess file in the new location.
Administrator

How can I import a sql file into phpmyadmin

To import a sql file into RJS you need to select the database you wish to import to. Then click on the SQL tab in the right hand frame. You should then be able to browse to your SQL file and import it.

UHP2

UHP2 is a component developed for the Joomla! Content Management System. It enables the creation of mini-sites which are displayed and managed within the Joomla environment.

How do I remove the copyright footer

If you wish to remove the copyright footer you need to buy a Copyright Free UHP2 licence. The standard licence removes the “Free Version” text from the footer but the copyright notice and the link to our website will remain.
Administrator

How do I remove the UHP2 logo from the directory page

You can remove the logo or replace it with your own by editing the site_logo.tpl file in the templates directory.
n.b. Don’t just remove this file, if you don’t want a logo at all, just blank out the contents of the file and save it.
Administrator

Do I need to reinstall when upgrading to the paid for version of UHP2

No, when you buy a licence for UHP2 it is just applied to your existing installation via the UHP2 Admin Configuration page. This removes the restrictions of the free version; your site content is not affected.
Administrator

I bought a licence but your logo still appears on the directory page

The licence does not remove the site logo; please see the User Manual and Knowledgebase on how to remove the UHP2 logo.
Administrator

Where do I download UHP2

You can download UHP2 component, modules, mambots and addons from our main website at: www.ravenswoodit.co.uk
Administrator

Is support for other languages included

Yes, you can translate UHP2 into the language of your choice, there are also some languages available already from our download site. Joomfish is not supported.
Administrator

Can I change the page output format

Most of the frontend can be customised by modifying templates and css files, the only exception is the data entry and admin areas.
Administrator

How do I use the www.site.com/username facility

UHP2 sites have the capability to be accessed thru a friendly url, similar to Myspace etc. on certain web server configurations.

This is not a function of UHP2 – it is actually achieved by the use of special URL rewriting rules, similar to how SEF url’s are generated.

At the moment only Apache rewriting examples are provided, but our forum has examples of other web server configs.

The UHP2 distribution comes with a sample .htaccess file(htaccess.uhp2.txt) which can be used on Joomla sites with only minor changes.

The .htaccess files should be placed in the Joomla root directory.

The main entries to achieve the effect are shown below:

########## Begin - UHP2 Rewrite rules for www.site.com/username

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?option=com_uhp2&task=viewpage&username=$1 [L]

########## End - UHP2 Rewrite rules

The example .htaccess files shows the position of these lines in the Joomla .htaccess file. These lines can be inserted in an existing .htaccess or the supplied UHP2 file can be used by renaming it to .htaccess and placing it in the Joomla directory.

Caution

If the UHP2 .htaccess file is used the following line may need to be changed:

#RewriteBase /Joomla

To reflect the location of your Joomla site.

Note

This feature is provided for convenience only, it may not be available or work correctly with your web hosting. It may also be incompatible with other components e.g. SEF. In this case you may not be able to use this facility.

Administrator

I get "You are not authorised to view this page"

This happens on older versions of UHP2 if there is no UHP2 menu item, or there are multiple UHP2 menu items and some are unpublished. It can also happen when there are menu items in trash - remove any unused UHP2 menu items.
Administrator

I am getting garbage on the screen when I try to run UHP2

Some webhosts are incompatible with the encoding used for the main UHP2 classes. For those hosts it will be necessary to use the IonCube encoded versions of the files which are supplied with UHP2.

In this case you must take some additional action to install the IonCube encoded files
Administrator

Is the Free version different from the commercial version

No - the code is exactly the same. There are some restrictions in the free version which are removed by purchasing a licence key.
Administrator

Do I need a licence for every site

UHP2 is licensed per web site, our definition of a website is based on the url, so for example:

To licence www.mysite.com and www.yoursite.com you would need two licences.

Equally for www.sitea.mysite.com and www.siteb.mysite.com you would need two licences.
Administrator

I bought a licence but I haven't received it

Check your spam folders on your PC or your ISP. Licences should be delivered immediately unless you have paid by eCheque, in that case they will be delivered when the eCheque clears (normally 7-10days)
Administrator

Error: Could not find an XML setup file in the package

UHP2 consists of a component, a number of modules and a mambot. There is also an optional Community builder Plugin. These are distributed in a single zip file which must be unzipped before use. Inside the main archive are a number of smaller zip files. These are the packages which should be installed via the Joomla installer.

Administrator

How do I install the xxxx plugin

UHP2 has a number of plugins for optional products e.g. Community Builder and Artio Joomsef.

These plugins should not be installed using the Joomla installer, they should be installed with the product specific plugin installer.
Administrator

Does UHP2 work with Joomla 1.5

yes, UHP2 1.7 is compatible with Joomla 1.5.

UHP2  1.6.1 and below works on Joomla 1.0n, Mambo 4.5, 4.6 and 4.7
Administrator

Parse Error; syntax error, unexpected '?'

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '?' in /home/mysite/public_html/administrator/components/com_uhp2/uhp2.class.php on line 1

This problem can sometimes appear when the webhost upgrades the version of PHP and/or changes some of the configuration settings..

Use the UHP2 admin menu item - Compatibility Check to check if your PHP is still compatible, it should highlight any issues..

The simplest resolution is usually to use the Ioncube version of the encoded classes, these are installed into the administrator/components/com_uhp2 directory when you install UHP2. Extract the uhp2.class.php file into administrator/components/com_uhp2 and extract the  pageclasses files into components/com_uhp2/pageclasses. make sure you overwrite the old files.
Administrator

Save error in site settings

If I try to change the site settings and I hit Save then I get the following error:

Warning: extract() [function.extract]: First argument should be an array in /home/site/public_html/administrator/components/com_uhp2/uhp2.upload.class.php on line 127

This normally happens when either no directory or an invalid directory is specified in the UHP2 admin configuration - Directory page

Call to a member function get() in wysiwyg editor

When creating new standard pages or using the site setting option. the following error is displayed on Joomla 1.5.11:

Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /home/../public_html/plugins/editors/fckeditor.class.php on line 953

Similar errors are displayed depending on the Wysiwyg editor in use..

This is only happening to regular registered users. For users with Author and above privileges, everything is OK..

This is a known issue with Joomla 1.5.11 - they added a new configuration option which has caused the same problem for a lot of components which allow ordinary registered users to use the wysiwyg editor in the frontend..

details are here: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=199&t=407719

"A new parameter setting was introduced in configuration for 1.5.11, for decide users of which level can access the Media Manager. Try having a look at Global Configuration->Tab 'System' where you in the 'Media Settings' can see a new option to set 'Minimum User Level for Media Manager'. This is default set to Author, and it looks like your example would require a minimum set to 'Registered' to work properly."

This resolves this issue until a more permanent fix is provided in a later version of Joomla
Administrator

This script has expired!

Some very old or beta versions of UHP2 were released with files which expired after around 5 years These versions should no longer be used due to security issues and bugs. If you get this error, please upgrade to the latest version of UHP2

Installation problems Joomla 1.5

If running with a PHP apache handler, uhp2 will not install correctly and may give a number of permissions errors.. If you get an error then you can try to manually unzip some files from the installation file.

In /components/com_uhp2

unzip pageclasses.zip
unzip addons.zip
unzip images.zip
unzip templates.zip

In /administrator/components/com_uhp2

unzip Savant2.zip
unzip ioncube.zip

In /administrator/components/com_uhp2/ioncube

copy uhp2.class.php /administrator/components/com_uhp2
pageclasses/*.php /components/com_uhp2/pageclasses

Create themes directory
mkdir /media/uhp2themes

Ensure permissions are correct to allow the apache user to read/write
