Hi

I running XOOPS 2.0.13 and having great fun, I need to add some more usability to my site and have trolled around the forums to find a starting point for my project but still unsure.

I use Planet module for my rss feeds to my site, but dont think it can do what I require.

I want to add a blog to my site, where i can add content through the admin area (and/or if possible add content by email/sms?)

I also need the blog to generate a rss feed (or xml still finding which is which and what's the difference) so that people can take the rss feed to their own site, or even add the rss link to blogger.com

Can someone point me to the right module that could do this?

Thanks in advance

You could use XPress (Wordpress for Xoops) which is pretty neat. -> http://www.xoopsforge.com

It does have this email-to-blog-functionality, unfortunately it never worked for me and I never got a reply from the developer, so I don't know whether this is really working or if it was a problem on my server only.

At the bottom of each page, you should see "Entries (RSS)" and Comments (RSS).

What kind of editing do you wish to do? Can you give an example or two?

Hi msdana

Thanks for helping.

I havent used Wordpress or the XOOPS version Xpress before.

The rss feed links only appear when Xpress is in Wordpress mode.

As I will only be using this in xoops, I need the link to be on top of the index page of the module and also on the "Wordpress recent posts with content" block which I was going to use on my homepage.

My idea for using the blog and feed is for me to submit a blog on my site and for the feed to be read by bloglines.com.

The link/feed generator in Wordpress mode generates from a link "/modules/wordpress/?feed=rss2" this only works now and again but it does not show if imported to bloglines.

It comes back with and error "No feeds were found. Please verify that the website publishes an RSS feed."

I have also tried to import to Planet (installed XOOPS mod) and that doesnt work either. I did notice that all feeds in Planet end with .xml.

What am I doing wrong?


Customisations required are for the XOOPS part only. Can I safely remove the sidebar on the index page (wp-index.html) without effecting the sidebar used as a block in xoops?

Can the bottom links of the sidebar "Operation Menu" be removed?

Sorry for the long posting.

Any help or assistance would be most welcome
