The "Content" module is a GREAT content module:
Content Module

I only ask one thing: Is there any way to make it show menu sub items in the same way as other modules(but behind the scene so the DHTML menu still functions)? I am using the sitemap module and it does not recognize any of my content pages from this module.

Thanks!

This module is great, but I am having trouble getting the google sitemap to work in XOOPS 2.0.10.

I keep getting this error:

XML Parsing Error: xml processing instruction not at start of external entity
Location:http://www.technigrafa.com/xml_google.php
Line Number 3, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
^

Anyone have an idea what this means? Is this module only compatible with newer XOOPS versions?

All of this client's members are entered by the organization, so technically they could set a temporary password for new members and log in as them and set their avatar, but they didn't want to do that with like 40 people. So I think we will get by with me just associating images they upload for members to their member profiles using phpmyadmin. They don't expect to have a lot of new users once these main ones are added.

Thanks again for your help though. I will check out that post that you linked to.

Thanks guys. Yeah, I am wrapping the flash file inside of the XOOPS header and footer. I found some tutorials that explain how to pull in variables that PHP makes into Flash. I can get it to work with a simple PHP script, but not from within the XOOPS template. It doesn't help that I am not much of a programmer, but I am trying!

Here's the info I've found out about doing these things:

Calling PHP functions from Flash:

Integrating Flash and MySQL:
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Dynamic_Content/Integrat-Vin-916/index.php

Importing text files into Flash:
http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Dynamic_Content/Importin-Iain_Bla-1020/index.php

Using loadvariables to import PHP infor without test files:
http://www.actionscripts.org/tutorials/intermediate/loadVariables_script_interaction/index.shtml

Using Flash with PHP and MySQL:
http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/flash_php_mysql.htm

I hope that these tutorials are helpful to others. I am not having a lot of luck making them work with Xoops.

I am thinking I may have to just pull info directly from the database. I will keep experimenting and post here if I come across anything cool.

Thanks!

Thank you very much for your help! For now I think I am just going to edit people's profiles using phpmyadmin. I did about 20 so far and it was fairly painless.

PHP and theme.html

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how I can pull in XOOPS block content into a Flash Dynamic Text block. If I can get this to work, it would open up all kinds of design possibilities.

Flash can import variables that PHP creates with the print command, like this:
print "¢erblock=block content here";

But when I try this in my theme file with blocks:


<{php}>

print "&centerblock=<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_ccblocks}> 

<TABLE CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=5 WIDTH=100%>

<TR> 

<TD CLASS=blockTitle><{$block.title}></TD>

</TR>

<TR> 

<TD CLASS=blockContent><{$block.content}></TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>

<{/foreach}>";

<{/php}>

I get:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '.', expecting '}'

I also tried the fwrite command to write the block info to a text file on the server that Flash can read:


<{php}>

$centerblock="<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_ccblocks}> 

<TABLE CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=5 WIDTH=100%>

<TR> 

<TD CLASS=blockTitle><{$block.title}></TD>

</TR>

<TR> 

<TD CLASS=blockContent><{$block.content}></TD>

</TR>

</TABLE>

<{/foreach}>"



$myFile = "centerblock.txt";

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w+') or die("can't open file");

$stringData = $centerblock;

fwrite($fh, $stringData);

fclose($fh);

<{/php}>

But that doesn't seem to work. I don't see the centerblock.txt file anywhere, although I am not sure where it would put it--in the theme directory, or the root dir where index.php is?

Anyway, maybe I am going about this all wrong and should be pulling data directly from the database.

Can anyone help me out?

They are using several modules, actually: newbb2, xoopsgallery, xoopsmembers, pd-downloads, and news, to name a few. So we need the member's avatar to show up in all the main areas, like the XOOPS user profiles, newbb and xoopsmembers modules.

Thanks!

I'll have to check with the client, but I think they want to go ahead and put in the individual photos of the members. The users are doctors that use the site to collaborate on research projects, so they won't be interested in messing with their photos or playing with XOOPS "because it's cool." They will log in when they HAVE to and post what they have to and get off. They are being required to use the site for grant funding purposes, so they will use it begrudingly, like paying taxes, and won't go the extra mile for anything. So my client wants everything as user friendly and automatic as possible, even if it means paying to hire a programmer to make it do this.

Thank you very much for your help, though.

Aww, I was hoping that wasn't the case. We would be willing to pay someone to alter the admin edit user page to allow for admins to edit user's avatars.

Any "coders-for-hire" interested out there? If so, email or AIM me.

Thanks!

Administrator assign other member's avatars?

I am working with a client that has a fairly "technology illiterate" user base and they want to be able to put their avatar into their profile for each user, but logged in as a webmaster, and not have to log in as each user individually.

You can edit all of the other user's info in the "edit user" section of the admin section, but avatars are not there.

Is there a way to do that?

Thanks for your help!
