Hello,

I'm trying to use XOOPS to develop a website where people can search an MySQL database for teaching materials. Each row in the database will contain the description of the material, as well as various descriptive fields (e.g. minimum and maximum age of students, topic, etc.), both numerical and set type.

I've been fiddling with XOOPS for a few days and have found the Articles module on this website to come closest to my requirements, in terms of presenting search results (the engine for generating complex search queries I'll write in PHP), or allowing users to simply browse the database. However, it doesn't have all the fields I need to search on. Should I just go ahead and hack the Articles module code, or does anyone know of a more advanced module that allows the developer to customise the database more?

Thanks loads,
Saameh
