Hey guys......

I have been working with XOOPS for a little while now, and I am currently trying to develop a custom module to fit some specific requirements for a project I'm working on. Although, I am running into some challenges and could really use your advice.

The module I am building involves creating a user dashboard that pulls data from multiple existing XOOPS modules (like News, Comments, and Private Messaging) and displays it in one place for easier management. I’ve gone through the basic module creation tutorial, but I’m a bit stuck on how to fetch and display data from other modules within my custom module.

Here are a few specific questions I have:

What’s the best way to retrieve data from other modules in XOOPS? Should I be using the existing APIs, or is there another recommended method?
Is there a specific XOOPS function or best practice for interacting with the database across multiple modules? I want to ensure that my approach is clean and efficient.
How should I structure the permissions for users accessing this dashboard, especially considering the different access levels required for the different modules?
Are there any examples or tutorials for similar use cases (integrating data from multiple modules) that you could point me to?
I also check this: how can i use php development in xoops modules? and blockchain I’m really looking forward to any advice or tips you can provide! I feel like I’m close, but just need some pointers to get over this hurdle.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Your project sounds excellent! I'll be testing it next week.
Thank you for this work

That's awesome!!!

Were you able to solve the issue with the menu block?

If yes, could you write a tutorial about it?

Hi all,

I'm looking for a module FAQ full-compatible for Xoops 2.5.10 (& Php 7.33)
I've tried Xoopsfaq-master 2.1.0 beta but there's a bug during module installation !
