I run www.redemptionmagazine.com and we have free and premium memberships. I want all of the articles to be available to free accounts for liek the first week but than after that only available to the premium accounts (jsut like newspapers do it) so I need a way to prevent people from copying the articles becauase if they did than that would be one less reason to get premium membership.

I am currently using wf-articles so it would be nice if I could jsut mopdify that but I doubt that is a possiblity.

Well any ideas?

I have a premium membership group and I disabled the block yet it still shows up, does that make since? I can't think why it happens... hmm. Anyway jsut wodnering if anyone had a similar experience.

ghost xoops for test site, how?

I want to "ghost" XOOPS so I can put it on my server at home and mess with it without messsing with the live version. The problem is the easiest way to do this is the cpanel backup. However I have no way to restore the cpanel backup at home since I don't have cpanel. Are there any applications/scripts/etc that can setup a cpanel backup? Or is there another options I should use?

thanks,

wf downloads, header error, probably output before download print

When I got to download a file with wf downloads on my site it displays the wf downloads logo (in my case just "downloads") and prints "header already sent". now I have wrote scripts like this in the past where you output data and tell the browser in the header that it is a download. Why isn't wf download coded correctly? Is it just my version or is it something that needs fixed. It works on xoops.org so...

Re: individual custom user rank/title and theme changer only for certain groups

ok here is what I am going to do tell me if this sounds like it will work.

THe user has one field (their title/"rank")

he fills it out and it does the following things.

1) It checks the modules table to see what rank they have now
2) it deletes that rank from the rank table (using the RankForumDel() from userrank.php)
3) adds a rank using RankForumAdd($rank_title,0,0,'',1)
4) updates rank in profile.

for number 3 I am puzzled about what the differences between rankforumsave and rankforumupdate are...


I am completly lost on number 4... I was going to use the updateuser() function but that looks rather complicated and I don't understand how it works so I think I will just write custom code to simply update the rank field.

Anyway I don't think this will be to hard, I just need to compile it into a module and figure out the code and test. Just wanted to post incase anyone had any useful ideas.

ps:
I see this piece of code "$db =& Database::getInstance();" can i use that in a module, what do I have to call? or should I just use the xoopsdb() function?

Ok I want persons in a particular group (in this case "premium") to beable to make their own titles. I figure I can just make a module which allows them to choose a name and it uses the code from userranks to make a new rank that is applied to them. Is this the best way to go about doing this?

I also want to provide them with the ability to change their themes but not users not in the group. I thought there might be a model for this but haven't found one.

If you have any sugestions it is appreciated.

I made my own module which lets logged in members add qutoes and then admins can edit/delete/ aprrove them. I'm not sure what you are looking for but if it interests you i could send it.

I figured I could jsut import the showbanner or the getbanner functions and use them to dispaly the banner. However I can't, even though i don't get any errors, I think I am missing a step somewhere.

I cannot figure out how XOOPS globabl variables get defined in a module, isn't from common.php or? I think if I knew that.. oh well I will keep looking around.

ok, well I guess I'll just have to write some code to act like XOOPS and grab the adds. Does not sound to hard.
