go to dev.xoops.org and get the SmartPartners module, it's much better than the default module.

i know of no alternative that exists, but i'm sure there's one somewhere...

anywho, to have more accurate who's online information, i stripped some of the online code from the block, and added it to header.php (xoopsroot/header.php), so that it executes on every page load. the block still functions, but now it just displays the data, as it should have in the first place (imho).

i would suggest that it is the user's problem. maybe post a small how-to for users to change their settings to function with your site accordingly.

lol ajax, we do what we can

Quote:

bd_csmc that profile page will really help me to my goal. My site is not about online gaming but your hacks and site is a model for mine. I need to host battles/tournaments, clan areas (cities/groups) including private news/forums, and show 'featured' profiles on my site.

I need regional areas mixed with group classes. Cities would be multi-sites (subdomain) and each have a dedicated news module, links, etc. Groups would have to network regionally and globally, site's mainpage must show 'featured' user profiles.

I was thinking of cloning 'partners' module as a city's mainpage (eg: ../modules/calgary/), listing links to it's module categories/clones (eg: ../modules/calgary_news/).
I know there are modules to 'spotlight' content from other modules but then I get (../modules/wfsections/), and that does not show my users definit local sections.

I think multi-sections is the way to go. I could hire admins living in the local region to maintain their site. I would get fresh sets of meta tags. I am starting from scratch... let's see what I can produce. I'll keep you posted. sorry about the long (off topic) post, maybe should open my own thread. PEACE!


wheeler, if i'm able to update the code as i need to, i think it would definitely suit your needs

i would like to eventually modify as many modules as possible with the option to set content as available to all sites, or limited to a single site (and eventually branch it to *some-but-not-all* sites, hehe).

btw, for your Partners idea, try SmartPartners from dev.xoops.org, it's much improved over the default partners module.


btw, if you were to use this modification that i have, you wouldn't necessarily need staff for different sites, because all sites would be manageable from a single administration panel. assuming i'm able to migrate the site-related settings to all areas of xoops, then you would have no trouble in having the same modules installed on multiple sites, but with 'regional' and 'global' content

i tell you, it's really nifty being able to go into wfdownloads, create categories for specific sites, then create a couple of global categories, and doing the same with downloads, and knowing that the downloads will only display where they're supposed to. and in the case of wfdownloads, the mod was fairly simple, to achieve this functionality

i concur with easy duplication of AMS being a must, since i notice others (and myself as well) feel the need to have a news section, and then an articles section, separate from each other.

tho maybe hidden deep with AMS options, this is already possible

goto Administration->System->Edit Groups, click on the Anonymous group, and check/uncheck each module and block that you want anonymous users to have access to. be careful what you give them access to, read carefully.


goto Administration->System->Blocks, you can edit each block to specify on what Module pages it should display, which column it should display in, etc etc.

my modification is similar, but is trying to be more complete and comprehensive

the mod that you referenced is definitely worth a look, though, as is the subsites mod, so thanks for posting that information here for their consideration

yes, a low-priority addon that i intend for the mapcentral network, is a module that will allow users to manage their own html 'page', with support for file and image management.


i would like to tie this in with the wfdownloads module, so that my users' files will be added into the downloads system, but again, this is a lower priority project that is having to wait behind xphpbbi (phpbb port), multisites, and then a few specific modifications that i need to make to my mapcentral sites.

btw, the project for that module is called xUserHomePages over at dev.xoops.org, it's being tailored after the user home pages module for mambo (well, the idea is from there mainly, but i'm not a fan of their implementation)


the multisite mod is very useful, in that i've been able to share all of my modules across all sites, especially the forums. i modified the downloads module so that i can specify downloads to display on a single site *or* all sites (by category and/or individual download). i will be making the same modification to AMS (Article Management System - based on the news 1.2 module) as well.


once i get this work done, i will be releasing a package of my modified version of XOOPS (2.0.9 beta), along with my modified modules (AMS, wf-downloads, etc), which will include bugfixes and customizations.


really, i wouldn't try using the multisites modification from the patch tracker, unless you're a programmer with a good eye. like i said, there's things that i've fixed, improved, changed about the modification since implementing it with my own sites, and when i release this package, it will operate quite a bit different from it's origin.


as for getting multisites running across multiple accts on the same server, the only thing that really matters is that you can access the MySQL server from both accounts. if you have separate MySQL logins, that may cause problems (this modification isn't tailored around multiple separate MySQL accounts, if you need that, i'd suggest getting the subsites modification that was released by someone else much earlier this year. it's in the news somewhere.


keep in mind, if you plan on using my package when i release it, it will prevent you from upgrading easily to later versions of xoops, and you'll essentially be reliant on myself or other contributors keeping the package up-to-date (that's one problem that users ran into with pbboard from bbpixel, since it modified xoops, they had to wait on a new release from bbpixel to be able to upgrade to the next version of xoops).
