No file has to be downloaded. Nusoap is already included in the Zip file.

I updated it to have an admin section where you can add books.

As for the prefix injection problem, I don't quite know how to withdraw the default prefix info from xoops. Someone want to fill me in?

Perhaps they do? I'm not sure...but the documentation for the Amazon search is a function that asks for either a keyword or an ASIN number...

@people who want quiz module >> search for a module called "quizz" on this forum. My quiz module is just a modified version of that.

@admin features in books >> whoops! i completely forgot about this. I'm working on it now.

@shivaja >> the books module uses ASIN numbers from Amazon, not ISBN. Also, I have it set to only search for books.

here is what I have of the books module.

here are the scripts that I used to convert from phpnuke to xoops. There's a script in there to convert your polls, news, links and encyclopedia. I didn't write a script to convert users because I searched the forums and found someone already had written that script. Plus, I didn't have any users in nuke.

Now, I'd be very cautious of using these scripts because as far as I know, they only work on my site and if used one someone else site it could wipe databases, erase data, launch nuclear warheads, who knows? I don't, so user beware.

The hot or not module will be a little more difficult to release then I thought because what I've done is used my phpBB user database as the backbone for logging in and voting and everything, so it probably won't work on anyone's site but mine without some sort of major overhaul.

I'll probably try to get hot or not up to standards and release it first as the more I look at this amazon books module, the more bugs I find. :(

Hi, I've been using phpNuke for the last year or so to run my site and on the reccomendation of a friend, decided to check it out for myself. After installing it, I pretty much fell in love with the system. Everything was so customizable. My biggest problem was that a lot of the modules that were avialable for phpNuke weren't around for XOOPS (no matter how hard I searched!).

Anyway, I figured I might as well write them for xoops. I found the module system really neat too. Incredibly easy to write your own modules. So far I have two, an Amazon books module:

http://www.perjuries.com/modules/books/

And a Hot or Not type module (photo ratings for those that aren't familar with the site):

http://www.perjuries.com/modules/photovote/

Ohh, one more thing, I also wrote a conversion script for phpNuke 6.9 to XOOPS 2.0.5.1 for converting your news, polls, links and encyclopedia.

Now I don't know if anyone wants this, but I would be more then happy to post the source code for all this stuff if there is interest. The problem, I fear, is that because I don't really have any real coding experience, I didn't really follow any of the XOOPS guidlines (I don't even know if there are any ). Also, I'm one of those people that follow the if it works, use it doctrine.

As I wrote this code from scratch, it'll probably be messy, but anyways, if someone does want to take a look at the code and maybe bring it up to coding standards for the rest of the community, I can post it. :)

[edit]

One more thing, the Amazon books module isn't quite finished as I have yet to write the adminstration section. I figure I'll do that after christmas. ;)
