I cannot believe what I am reading here. The sad fact is that after this weekend no one is addressing the real issues and problems that are here at Xoops.

You are just all trying to paint over the cracks and hope they go away and until someone has the strenght to do something about it, you are going to keep losing more and more developers and good people here at xoops.

Catz, you may have noticed that there have been numerous creative ideas posted on these forums as an attempt to make positive changes here. Many of those ideas get quashed, diverted or over-heated. This is a vibrant energetic community where many lively individuals have opinions. Hey, there is life here!

The idea of a 'members only forum' is that these discussions should continue NOT like a public boxing match, but in an honest fashion where answers and solutions can be found.

We are trying to address the real issues, but to be honest, they should not be addressed in a public forum like a brawl in the street.

It's not about having strength to do something, either. Right now it's actually about creating good leadership and management structure so that proper decisions can be made. Again, I don't believe this should be a public issue for all to see.

>>eric235u Please understand what I suggested: I recommend ythat A MEMBERS ONLY forum is created that is ALL REGISTERED USERS OF XOOPS can view only. There is nothing elitist, exclusive or divisive about that.

It is simply so that we can stop casual viewers and search engines making our internal conversations about policies and security open to the whole internet!

That is simply a sensible and respectful way to run our internal affairs.

So how about it forum moderators?

Will you give us a members only forum that is for discussing topics not available for Joe Public and crawlers to see?

There are many such topics, including security issues as well as some of these heated discussions.

What's the point?

1- Stops Google et al making everything we do here visible
2- Stops the casual lurker viewing in house conversations
3- Provides a place to transfer contentious posts away from public.

So users only have to register to see it!

1- sure, but google cant register
2- The general visitor may not bother to register.
3- Registered users are easier to track.

Thank-you Chappy, I fully support and endorse your comments in that last post.

In addition, I must add that having these conversations here on a public forum is absurd and destructive to the reputation of xoops. There should be at least one forum open to all registered members that is NOT visible to public and robots. Not an exclusive private fourm for the elite, but a place for constructive, creative discussion that at least attempts to do our dirty washing in private.

For example xoops.org feedback and suggestions should be open to registered members ONLY, not public

James I have to say that your post reads a bit like a sermon. Metaphors of promise and patience are all very well, but you have completely missed the point of what's happening here. You make this new version of XOOPS that is supposedly coming, to sound like a quick fix that will solve all the moans and groans that we suffer. The root of the problem is is only partly to do with development, or lack of it, but partly an insidious illness of blindness from the upper echelons of the community. When a couple's relationship is on the rocks, having a baby is not the way to fix it, they have to tackle the issues that are supporting the problems beneath. XOOPS is in an leadership and management crisis. period. msadana and wtravel have seen where it's at.

Maybe this is too simplistic, but I would SIMPLY use a module like smartsection and clone it (make 2 identical versions)

town -1 (version one of the module) put all the content, details etc in your pages and make your custom block ads to be 'visible in this module. Show this as #town-1 in your menu

town-2 (version two of the module) repeat as above with town two details ans make custom ads blocks to show 'visible in this module.

You have one site with discreet details of 2 towns each with separate content and focussed ads.

No messing with dual sites. If your inclined you can even change the theme automatically by choosing the menu for town-2 or town -1

Maybe this is the best advise: learn more about XOOPS modules and permission systems... you will be amazed how flexible and extendable they are.

Smartsections

The first part of the spec could be easily implemented with the jobs module see it in action on Helpxoops.info here.

The tracking is a different issue.

Try UserPages Very simple to use and administer. Works well on 2016. See Helpxoops.info for example.

Very Nice menu Mark. It works fast and it's easy to read. As usual with these CSS/ DHTML menus, they are quite fiddly to code but the result is clean and effective.
