if you want to find out for yourself, setup a test site.

forumex looks like it's based on newbb v1, whereas newbb2 is almost a complete rewrite of the forum it seems. you wouldn't believe how different it is.

i believe i created a project at dev.xoops.org for this module, still don't have any time to work on it, if anyone wants to take it over, pm me at dev.xoops.org and i'll add you to the project as a project admin.

assuming you have the latest Newbb 2 installed (fromhttp://dev.xoops.org - click on Newbb link on the lower right side):

goto Newbb administration
click on Index if not already selected
you'll see:
Quote:

Path for attachment storing: /YOURXOOPSINSTALLPATH/uploads/newbb/ ( Not available Create it )
Path for attached image thumbs: /YOURXOOPSINSTALLPATH/uploads/newbb/thumbs/ ( Not available Create it )

create both folders by clicking on the link to Create It for each folder

then assuming you have already created Categories and Forums, click on the Forums tab, select the Edit icon/option for a listed forum, and you should see a preference to enable/disable uploading/attaching files.

you will also need to set permissions appropriately to specify who can upload.

where is newbb2? or where is the file attachment support?

it would be in the settings per forum, via admin. make sure you edit Global permissions as well as the specific permissions.

it's in the language/english/main.php file

Quote:

### INDEX.PHP PAGE DEFINITIONS ###
define('_DM_TITLE','We Need Your Help - Make a Donation!');
define('_DM_MAKEADON','Make a Donation');
define('_DM_SELECTAMT','Please select an amount to donate');
define('_DM_SHOWNAME','Show your name under Donations list?');
define('_DM_DONTHISMONTH','Generous Benefactors This Month');
define('_DM_DON_NAME','Name');
define('_DM_DON_AMT','Amount');
define('_DM_DON_DATE','Date');
define('_DM_ANONYMOUS','Anonymous Donor');
define('_DM_ANONYMOUS_SHORT','Anonymous');
define('_DM_DON_OTHER','Other');
define('_DM_SUBMIT_BUTTON','Submit Donation >>');

there's more defines as well, but those are the ones that mainly concern the index page.

well of course weights and balances would need to be in place. in mambo, some of the bots were accompanied by the warning that it would only work once in a page (probably due to how the specific bot was implemented, but anywho...), so bots that are known to cause higher usage could be limited by author or admin maybe (in xoops)

btw, one *very* useful bot that i loved under mambo, was the ability to create a news post, and include a mambot tag pointing to a forum id (in the site forum). well, the mambot would create a new thread in the forum, related directly to the news article, and create a link where the mambot tag was used in the news article. i believe the thread was only created the first time it was accessed by a user looking to post a comment, and then anyone else clicking the link would be able to post a reply.

i know we have comments in xoops, but that's just an example of a semi-complex usefulness, tie-ing forum + news in a CMS that didn't have comments.

personally, i think bot tags like that, if implemented in xoops, should be controlled similar to blocks (options per bot to be used by certain groups, on certain pages/modules, etc)

nope, it's similar, except these 'bots' are global, they can be used anywhere in the site.

i.e.- using xdonations as an example again, the bot script that i would provide with the module, would be referenced by XOOPS core, so that *anywhere* that the special tag is used, the content will show up.

and the idea is that templates won't have to be modified for this. you just create a news article or forum post or a block or whatever, insert that tag, and the function is called, the content is output.

if you want to have a better understanding of it, then install mambo, a module (aka component in mambo's world), and find a mambot that utilizes data from the component. it's very nifty, because you're able to place the mambot tag anywhere, anytime, not relying on templates or whatnot...

mith, it's a great feature in mambo. it's kinda like having bbcode, except each script (containing a new bot) defines it's 'code'

so, say i put in bot functionality into xdonations. maybe i create a bot function that, when a certain code (such as {xbot_donators}) is called, it's automatically replaced *wherever* it is called, by a list of donators.

it's kinda like hooks, except better, because it can be used from the content side of a module. forum, news, private messages, articles, blocks, etc, could all benefit. you can create a new block in xoops, and place a bot tag in the new block, which will autogenerate output, based on what function the code refers to (such as {xbot_donators}, which would call a xdonations script to generate donators output)
