anyway to turn it on so that it exists in the login page? seem's to be working and in place in all the other pages. I did select all in the install process, but would swear it isn't in the login page?

Thanks for the link carnuke!! I can see that there is a wide XOOPS world out there, I have only scratched the surface... Glad to see others employeeing XOOPS in the ecommerce area... Thats where I'm headed... I'll post a link to my wonderful new site when it actually has content!!

Any other mod development tools are appreciated.. The more novice the better!

Dealing with the same design issue's... The Xoop's for Dummies documentation addresses this and solved the dummy module issue though...

You first create a new folder in the Modules directory named for the dummy module...

Then create index.php file with the following basic code:
_____________________________
include("../../mainfile.php");
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php");
$xoopsOption['show_rblock'] = 1;
?>


include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/footer.php");
?>
______________________________

Then create a file called xoops_version.php with the following code:
______________________________
$modversion['name'] = "Dummy Module";//name of module
$modversion['version'] = 1.01;
$modversion['description'] = "Dummy Module";
$modversion['author'] = "";
$modversion['credits'] = "";
$modversion['help'] = "";
$modversion['license'] = "GPL see LICENSE";
$modversion['official'] = 0;
$modversion['image'] = "yourlogo.JPG";
$modversion['dirname'] = "dummy";//name of directory

// Admin things
$modversion['hasAdmin'] = 0;
$modversion['adminpath'] = "";


// Menu

// Menu for submenus in main menu when page loads
$modversion['hasMain'] = 1;//0 to remove from main menu
$modversion['sub'][1]['name'] = _MI_MYPAGE_SMNAME1;//define in language/english/global.php
$modversion['sub'][1]['url'] = "../../modules/ipboard/";
$modversion['sub'][2]['name'] = _MI_MYPAGE_SMNAME2;//define in language/english/global.php
$modversion['sub'][2]['url'] = "../../modules/weblog/";


?>

You also place your little logo in the dummy directory. This acts as the icon to install the module from in the module admin page...

Good Luck, and if there is a more refined solution, I'm looking to, so report it here please!

One last thing... Xoop's version 2.0.9.2 is also recommended as it directly addressed another security issue in prior version's.

I think I have been reading enough of the threads and others XOOPS installs that I think I can say a couple things to new users and hopefully the old timers here will comment, explain or elaborate as would be helpful for a novice xoopsters...

1) For best security change as many default settings in the setup menus as possible... ie, table prefix and any others that may be guessed or easily known. I read some thread that actually considered adding a random prefix generator in the install setup. I think logical personalization makes more sense.

2) The Protector Module addresses some issues along these lines and should be installed. Perhaps someone could post the link to the Protector Module.

Hope this helps those who like myself, intend to take XOOPS commercial and use it on secure interactive sites.

That is a good looking theme... Think I'll steal it too...

The guy is jerking your chain. Nobody could be that pitiful without trying real hard.

I am intrigued by the PDF features in the forum. I would love to add that ability for my business forms, populating them on the fly or from a database. I am building site using XOOPS and thinking of porting in netoffice or someother CSM/Transaction Management application. Is there a Module somewhere that might add the PDF capability?

Trying to change the color of text in blocks... even added code in actual text block and it still gets overridden I gues by the style sheet in the theme directory, but I can't figure out which line is the default color for the text in the body of a block?

Thanks in advance!

By the way, any tips or hints would also be appreciated regarding extending the Sign Up Form to include address and Phone numbers and such, also want to accept new property listing information online from the customer... Any advice about the MOD for forms and document management is greatly appreciated.... I'm running the latest version of XOOPS on WAMP....

Thanks for all you hard work guys, now I just wanna drain your brains!!!
