I'm new to XOOPS, and hope to give theme making a whirl soon (after I'm a bit more comfortable with admin and playing with modules *S*). I've downloaded quite a few themes made by others...THANKS to the theme makers 8^)

I do hope some have no tables. I've done it before with MT, but it was a struggle LOL (and I had to resort to a table for my comments area...grrr). Maybe I'll get it down better then 2nd time around. But if there's one that already is pure css (hopefully with a relative width div for the center section), I'll probably use that to start off with.

When I do get into editing some of the CSS's, the first thing I'll do is change all px/pt's to keywords.

Quote:
By using pt/px, IE is *NOT* able to increase font size. Using keywords or em's (harder to use as far as I'm concerned) enables IE users to increase the font size so that they'll be able to read a page. With relative font sizing, viewers with normal vision won't have to suffer reading large text, while visually impaired viewers will be able to increase the font size in IE.

With the numerous combinations of screen resolutions, monitor sizes, and viewers' visual difficulties, I see no reason to take a chance on viewers not being able to read a page if they choose to stick with IE. Many of my friends are older, and have difficulties reading some sites, and prefer sticking with IE. As for printing, use a print.css.

Hopefully when MS comes out with a new browser, it will have zoom text capabilities like Mozilla/Firebird. Until that time, I'll use keywords (or perhaps learn em's better).

Have you tried with MySQL debug On in the preferences? If you get an error SQL query shown in red in the debug window, it might be that the block table is corrupt. In that case, run the following query (either from phpMyAdmn or from the command line) to repair the table.

REPAIR TABLE prefix_newblocks;

Make sure to replace the prefix part with the one actually used on your site.

I went to my site today and all that is showing is the footer and header. After a while I was able to navigate into the admin side of the site and went to the blocks list where usually all my blocks are listed, and the whole thing is erased and I can not add a new block even!! Can someone please help? http://www.jenberkley.com

I guess I have only one suggestion: trim the main page. Try to get people to go deeper into your site based on what interests them on your main page. It might be somewhat overwhelming to many visitors because there is so much information at once.

Anyway, I know a Website can be like a baby. You don't really like criticism (I know I don't) but anyway --just my two cents.

Hsalazar is right. A few days ago I've tried to clone this module myself.
That what is put by its developer within the modinfo file:

Doesn't work at all for cloning.
You have to rename everything.

(lost also track of this thread sorry for my late respond.)

Here is the background. I have a site that is currently running PHPBB2 and other articles. I want to convert this site to XOOPS but I am wondering which forum option to go for?
I am a regular user of Invision and PHPBB2 and like both boards. One design criteria is that all postings on the current board can be converted over to the new site.

So what are the Pros and Cons of using;
1) NewBB?
2) PHPBB2 Module?
3) Invision Module?

Hello,

I have working in this project but there are too much work at the moment... I have the result of the first step but one off the problem is the php Session used in phpcollab and it's not very easy to use the user table of xoops....

If you have time .....

I know some french coders were working on this, some time ago, but I don't know if there's any public release.

Nobody?

OK, I missed your goal of bypassing FTP.

WFSections may be a good module to try. I know that it has a filemanager to attach files to articles. It is one of the most popular and well-supported modules for Xoops, so if it meets your needs, that would be a good one to use.

Perhaps the Filemanager module or the Document Management module would do what you are trying to do. Unfortunately, I've not used either one, perhaps another user will comment.
