If I had a choice, I would use Yabbse. I read somewhere here that someone has or almost has a Yabb module. Anyway, I think the forum that comes with XOOPS is very good. The only change I made was to reduce the graphics (new thread, etc.) by about 50% in PhotoShop. They are way to big.
After setting up a discussion forum, I found that I cannot use the image manager to upload any image. After uploading an image, nothing happens and the image bank remains blank. What have I forgetten to do?
Yes, it is the same one. I notice now that it has been removed from xoops.org. It was committed to XOOPS 2 CVS a couple of days ago, but I think there are still a couple of issues to resolve before it is functioning 100% correctly.
What should happen if I fill out the username and pass and select Auto login?
A cookie should be set for a week storing User and Pass.
When I logout and visit the site again I should login automatically?
Is this correct?
What should happen is that the cookie will be set for a week. That means if you visit the site within a week of your last visit, you will automatically be logged in. If you wait more than a week you have to enter your info again. If you explicitly "log out", then you will have to enter you info on the next visit even if it is 5 mins later. Hope this clears it up...
CEAM, the original developer of PhpCollab, began exploring CMS integration at version 2.5 (XOOPS 2 and later PostNuke). He got an initial cut distributed in his first beta, and then abruptly stopped developing PhpCollab for some reason - something about working on another project.
The PhpCollab community is now in the process of transitioning from a one-man show to a community effort. A second beta of 2.5 has been released, but the CMS integration has been removed and the project team seems not to be interested in exploring CMS integration preferring to focus on other project management and collaborative management features.
