OK, but what mechanism do I use to do that? The whole intention of the set up is so that the people using XOOPS won't have to understand FTP-ing or anything.

I guess, even if there is some nice interface outside of XOOPS that I could use, then that's what I'm after.

I just want them to be able to log in, click "Upload a file", give a few details and up it goes. The old newsletter gets shunted back into an old list, and only the most recent is readily available.

Re: Basic "link to file" system?

While you are waiting for a better answer, here is a suggestion. It would work as follows:

Ask the person uploading the file to give each newsletter a unique filename, such as 2003maynews.doc for a newsletter from May 2003.

Have them upload the file. Then upload the file again as currentnews.doc.

In a custom block, you could create a link to currentnews.doc.

Basic "link to file" system?

Hi all,

Work continues on a site for a school that I'm developing. The main page (of which you can see a temp non-xoops version at http://www.superhost.co.nz/~intnrm/) has a pace on the right for a link to a newsletter from the school.

This file will be (typically) a Word document that people can download. I want a really simple way that someone can log in, upload the latest newsletter file and that it can then be downloaded from the main page.

I've tried modifying the downloads module to no avail. I've found a newsletter module that actually does a different thing to what I want, as well as a file manager module that was not of use.

Is there a module that will handle simple uploads, keep each of the newsletters accessible on one page but also allow me to set it to always point to the most recent file from the main page?

Cheers,

Phil

builderb,

In any upcoming version, can I recommend new fields for:

1. an extra address line for business with long adresses, something like "address line1 / address line 2"

2. a new field for "Country" useful for me as I have readers in Japan as well as other countries. I could also imagine it would be useful for sites that have readership in the European Union.


Also my friend and I are almost finished with the japanese language files. I'll post here to tell everyone when they're finished. Maybe next week. If you can incorporatethe new fileds in an update before then, we'll put the changes in the language files.

Jose

This does make a lot of sence.

I've tried to use the TC as an 'about' module. Putted some subitems -of items I've created- within its xoopsversion.php etc., to realise what I wanted. Instead of using its block.
As you can imagine this way of working is not quit of handy, especially when there are some changes made afterwoods....

I recommend myself as a 'playlover' with such an about module

I have been working on something like this with WF-Sections this last week.

It would be easy enough to have this 'WF-Channel'(Where do you get those names from lol) without that much of a problem.

I will start on this tonight and see if I can get something out in the next few days for all to play with.

Nice idea m8

Hey, Catzwolf:

I'm not sure about what g0nk1 would want, but here's my own take:

Imagine a module callet, hmm, let's see: WF-Channel. It's a fairly simple thing that lets you build a content channel.

Let me explain. Most modules that include categories let you define the categories and then submit content that can fit in those categories. WF-Channel would have a single page and as many children pages as needed. Every page would need to be easily edited.

I know this can be done with Tiny Content. but TC's additional pages are indexed in a block. What separates WF-Channel from TC is that it includes the additional pages as subitems in the main menu entry, as well as optional related content links at the end of the index page.

Another dreamt of feature of WF-Channel: It creates its own instances. So, maybe g0nk1 wants an About Us page with three subpages: "History", "Site awards" and "Submission guidelines". Then he remembers he wants to put a What we do "channel" with "Products", "Services", "Guarantees"... He fires up WF-Channel, clicks on "Create new instance" and lo and behold!: He can do it, and he can manage every instance from within the same module...

Does this make sense? It would be like a mini-WF-Section module, only for static content... and without the many bells and whistles...

Cheers.
