Hi!

I am currently creating a short url mod.
Basically it is a seperate php script that does the job.
For the lack of time, can someone please show me how to checks if a user is registered (he does not have to be logged in!!) and if he belongs to a certain group (e.g. "allowed users" groep).
So the php scripts is called from whereever (perhaps from your own site) and it first checks if the user is registered and belongs to a certain group before it does its magic and returns a short url.

Thanks in advance!

Never mind.. I would have thought some eager programmer would have answered this by now. I'll be diving in it my self now.

If the user is not logged in, how would you know which user it is?

Hi!

That's easy.. you call the script with some parameters.

The module is actually finished now (first RC). I followed the XOOPS wiki example.
Here's the link.

What I would like to know and I hope some of you mod developers can help me out here is regarding the admin site.
Now looking at the example mod in the wiki it is all very clear in regards to writing the front end mod. Creating an index.php and xoopsversion.php, the language folder and the sql folder. No problems there.
It also notices the has admin flag in he xoops_verion.php, but nothing more.
Can someone please either send me an empty mod including admin area or simply layout what XOOPS needs for the admin area to work?
The admin area will be used to store settings in, that is basically it. Not sure if the settings will be stored in the database or in a file, but that's a later issue.

Anyone?

Thnx,
Charly

Preferences page are handled by the system module. All you to do is populate xoops_version with the configs you need. It should be on those tuts.
