Be sure when you created the block to have it processed as PHP Script rather than HTML.

Sounds great to me Catz

nhallman, if you would like more developers to possibly contribute to your LMS modules please check the xmode team site. This is a place for module developers to gather to work on new modules and to enhance existing modules. Talk to herko about the possibity of adding your project to the list of existing projects so that we may all contribute to the work and maybe take some of the weight off your staff, if you want of course.

sure thing, PM your email address

Just replace the new file with the older one for now since the newer file is just making it register globals off compatible. I've decided to try and fix this myself since nobody else seems to want to touch xoopsgallery, lol.

Catz and chapi have a point that I would like to further enhance and that is newbb doesn't need replaced but ENHANCED itself. I personally don't use newbb I use Koudanshi's IBF module because the features it provides are tremendous in the administration point of view. Unlike Catz though I would not go as far as saying the ibf module is buggy as hell. I've been using it since he's released it and I find it top notch. My only gripe would be the core updates. But it is not overly difficult.

So the list as to why I use IBF rather than newbb:
- The forum can have it's own design apart from xoops.
- There are key administration features that I use quite often like mod and admin logs and so on.
- Ability to add uploads to posts. Maybe this is in newbb now, I haven't checked lately
- I use the little bar that shows who's viewing the forums and what they are looking at quite often.
- Forum statistics are quite nice
- My users enjoy the birthday list
- Create user groups that can only view and use certain forums
- Exact control of what can be posted (mime types) and what size a post can be limited to

That's not everything, but is a few of things I could think of off the top of my head. As for webmasters relying too much on the forums. I beg to differ here. The forums are a vital point to a community based site, as was pointed out earlier. It's not only about making the users happy with the forums but also making things much easier for the administrators and moderators. IBF makes moderation and administration simplistic.

I'm kind of being long winded here but I find no reason for people to be getting kind of defensive which I do see going on here. It's ideas on how to make newbb a much better module. I can't agree with "time to say goodbye to newbb" cause I like said it's about enhancement NOT eradication. Maybe a few of users are happy with newbb how it is and you will stick to your guns that it shouldn't be touched but remember that there are users that are not happy with how newbb is right now and want enhancements and they will stick to their guns as well. Until then they will continue to look at other means to get what they want like the IBF or phpBB modules.

What do I think....the xmode team can grab a copy of 2.0.3 and further enhance newbb's ability. Granted some core code might have to be changed a little. So knowing that, when the xmode team is done with it, hand it over to the developers so they can check it out and see what they think and if they want to include this updated module and the core changes (if any) into the next xoops.

I think you could benefit more and have your ideas heard more by the mod dev if you posted on the wfsections site here.

Unfortunately I have found that gallery as it is has some issues with the 2.0.3 update. The comments doesn't work as they should. When somebody posts a comment it gives a out of index error. For a temp fix I have reverted back to the 2.0.2 file of comment_post.php which is what's causing the problem. I've pointed this problem out but no one seems to be too worried about it.

nobody's the least bit interested in this whatsoever? Am I the only person trying to use gallery with XOOPS 2.0.3?

anybody?
