Yeah, I figured that part out. Image Manager didn't, however, center the image when I chose that option.

The code bug is still in the latest release.
I'm getting backslashes all over the place.
Anyone got an already corrected version on-hand?

*Edit : nevermind, I went and got the hacks myself. And they work perfect. Please hack the release version so people don't have to keep going to get the code to fix it.

I'm with you. I don't quite *get* image manager either. Where does it upload by default? Can any module make use of those files (if so, how does the module know where to look, or do I have to manually type in paths still)? Doesn't look like the forums can use those images, since the newbb images are stored in more than one place, apparently. How do any of the modules make use of image manager? Or do they at all? I thought that was the purpose of having it when I first heard about XOOPS 2 being developed, but it doesn't seem like any modules (even the core ones) take advantage of it.

I was using the old version of XOOPS for the past few years, and it was much less complicated than this new version, and easier to figure out even without documentation. I'm still using the old version on one of my sites because some of the modules I'm using with it haven't been modified/rewritten to work with XOOPS 2.

I'm still struggling along with the new version, trying to figure everything out on my own. I won't uninstall it or anything, but it just seems like a step backwards from the earlier version in some ways.

It's not in your list of blocks because it is not strictly a block... it's a module.

Ideally, trackback should be integrated into XOOPS news module, so that each article has a trackback ID. Pingback should do the same, and provide a pingback url for each article.

If someone is working on this, please keep in mind to make your system have actual permalinks that won't become broken if a user needs to reinstall on the same or another server. There is a lot of research in the blogging world about how to do this the right way. Opinions on how it's done vary, but most bloggers agree that it is an important goal.

I would love to see XOOPS have a full-featured blogging module built for it, but that means finding out what most bloggers want and need in a blogging app. It's not necessarily the exact same things as in a CMS, but I don't think it's an impossible feat either.

There is a timer on it. I'm not sure the exact time limit on it, but the user will disappear usually around 5-7 minutes later. It is not a bug or anything.

Addition to your list:

Amazon Associate Bookstore Module

The SDK is available at amazon.com...

I worked around this problem by installing XOOPS into its own directory, allowing me to have a static front (entry) page to my site. On the static entry page, my meta keywords tag is correct. Search engines usually hit that first.
