I wnated to create a new group to send email info to certain members. So I tested it first with the help of a few members.

I created a group called "Test". Then a put a few members in it. I sent an email just to that group, but none of the members got any of the test emails.

Has anyone had that problem? If so, how did you correct it? Is there a setting I have to set in order to get it to work properly?

AMS - topics block module like b_lycos?

Remember the topics_block module (with b_lycos_blocks_latest.php and such)? It's a module that pulls news articles from the main news module and lists them in a block. Except you can use multiple blocks to display News articles from different topics.

Is there any way to have something like that to pull a list of articles from the AMS module instead of the main News module?

I want to show 3 or 5 blocks, each block with the last 3 articles a specified topic from the AMS module.

Like this for the AMS module simply listing the name for each article and the link to it:

BLOCK 1 Technology
*1st article from technology
*2nd article from technology
*3rd article from technology

BLOCK 2 Politics
*1st article from politics
*2nd article from politics
*3rd article from politics

BLOCK 3 Media
*1st article from Media
*2nd article from Media
*3rd article from Media
Is that possible already with AMS or is there a hack/module that works with AMS to do this?

Have any other wordpress themes been ported, to your knowledge?

Yeah. I hear ya. XOOPS themes are much easier to create and modify than with any other CMS. But I'm just talking about converting some of these free GPL wordpress themes to XOOPS themes.

I was just using e107 and xaraya as examples that the designer for wordpress theme called "orange sky" has apparently supported the coversion from his/her wordpress theme to 2 different CMSs.

So I was just wondering if anyone has already done any tinkering with converting some wordpress themes to XOOPS themes.

Porting wordpress themes to Xoops?

Wordpress has a lot of very clean and beautiful GPL themes. The themes are free and some designers have already raved and/or posted links to ported versions of their themes. I've seen ported wordpress themes for the e107 cms and the Xaraya cms already.

Does anyone know how to port those themes to Xoops? Or if there is a website or designer which offers ported themes?

Maybe that's something someone could look into?

Re: Menu items in Sothink not limited to content (firefox)

Far as I can tell, there is a conflict with the
table {width: 100%}
tag inside the style.css file

My theme needs that width stipulation in order to show up correctly. But I did find out that when I removed that
table {width: 100%}
tag, the menu showed up correctly.

But, as I said, the theme I'm using needs that tag in order to show up correctly. But for those who can get away with deleting that 100% width, your DHTML menu should work hopefully.

Ok. If you're using the Sothink DHTML menu, I think I may have found a possible solution:

In Sothink DHTML menu code, one of the css variables is
.st_tbcss

So, what I did was add the following code to my XOOPS theme's style.css file:

.st_tbcss{border:none;padding:0px;margin:0px; width: 140px;}

Now, I set my width to 140px just testing to see if it worked. And it did. I think it just needed a width value just to keep it from displaying at 100%. So, I guess you can test it with another width value, but for now, I'm leaving mine at 140px.

Hi,

I got the sothink menu and created a dhtml menu which i inserted into a block. So far so good. However, I have two remaining problems:

1. I get an error message relating to a line in my index.php file for the homepage. The actual line referred to is not a 'code' line.

2. the menu width seems to be determined by XOOPS so the main menu fits the block exactly (the right width - looks great) but sub menus open up to the entire width of the page obsuring the other main menu options and the page behind it.

Do I need to change a setting in XOOPS or the Sothink programme to contain the width of the submenus or do i need to insert the menu into the theme file and if so how would i do this?

many thanks
Jamboree

I have the exact same problem. The thing is that when I completely remove the css styling lines in my theme.html file ....
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<{$xoops_url}>/xoops.css" />
<
link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="<{$xoops_themecss}>" />

...the menu shows up perfectly, but of course none of my css styling works.

It's frustrating as heck b/c I can't figure out what it is inside the css style class file that's interfering with my Sothink DHTML menu.

Thanks so much for the reply. It really is a great hack. I'll look forward to the release.
