Yep - it's one of the greatest thins in the 2.2.x and there were some modules that really took advantage of it .... Weblinks module gave the option to put blocks in it's main categories - Imagine you can put relavant blocks for your module's pages content !!!!
It opens a lot of posibilities - like put relevant ads in the right forum or the right article-category ... etc'

SO - yes - the 2.3 series is good , but still has to adopt some 2.2.x abilities

Unfortunately, unlike the 2.2.x. series - the 2.3.x has only the ability to put blocks "in the module" and not the ability to choose "pages in the module"

The 2.2.x has the ability to put a block (lets say Videotube)
in:
- all module pages
- View by user
- search youtube
- Video help

And that is the BIG BIG minus in it !!!

I'm back

now ..... in your theme.html you can use it like this:

lets say we deal with the 'center-center block'

we can use it in our theme like this:



and it works like this
mb_truncate:9 (the number 9 here tels smarty to see if the 9 first chars of your block title equals to "red-block" and if it does - in the sample above it won't write the title, and will start the block with:



beginning your block title with "green-block" will simply give nothing (to block-title and no html) and so on ...

A few of you probably knows my way of customizing the look of individuals blocks by giving them a custom title (posted here:https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?post_id=265122#forumpost265122 )

With this method I can name (title) blocks like
green-block + whatever title needed
red-block + whatever title needed
blue-block + whatever title needed

And those 3 blocks will look completely different (just by giving them a few characters in the begining of their title) ... via CSS and/or HTML each of those block can look different (so you can make a few "reusable blocks types" and use them whenever needed in your site blocks )

Well - this method won't work with UTF-8 (default in 2.3.x) since the smarty "truncate" is not working with UTF-8

I use this method a lot to give a few of my front-page blocks a unique look
( breaking the XOOPS look a bit )

There is a way to do it in UTF-8 too ( adding a smarty plugin to /xoops/class/smarty/plugins/ )

make a new file ( /class/smarty/plugins/modifier.mb_truncate.php ) with this code:


..... I'll post the rest in here in an hour since I've been called in the middle of my post

@ robertelo
Your question is about basics in XOOPS customization, so I'll answere a general answere ...
(almost) all the module's apearance acheived via it's _modules_/_your-module_/templates/whatever.php files.

Block apearance via it's _modules_/_your-module_/templates/blocks/whatever.php ....

So go there and edit the file you need to (you'll probably understand from the /templates/blocks/ file names which block file should be edited ...

Since Classifieds module need the user to submit the ADD from within a category, adding it to the block may be a bit useless

Don't forget to update the module afterwards (via Site Admin ==> modules admin)

Advice: read a beat @ Xoops FAQ

One more feature suggestion:
Recording the "searched terms" makes more sense then just "words" since you don't know what was really searched ...

I use the search results to dynamiccaly wake-up my inTHEtube module with youtube videos in the searched values ... mysearch with dynamic video clips

Try to search the site (to get results with 5 video clips for the searched term) after the mudules search loop ( try Fashion for instance ) .

This demonstrates how both mysearch and inTHEtube can be extended and linked to other modules .

Quote:

Probably as options on both (though I originaly meant in the scriptaculous dropdown)

@ trabis
If you're looking for a feature suggestion:

It would be great if there will be a way to connect the search-results with the ajax suggestions:
adding a html-enable field to search results so that under chosen suggestion (search terms) you''ll have the ability to add links or little banner - so youcould link to inside pages or to external advertizers.
this feature will make the module "a must have"

One more: in the index page, linking the keywords to a url with the search results is very SEO-wise

Have you ever tried to search for Honest politicians ....
