Ok inserting links to php pages is fine.
You should see something like this in the theme.html file:
This part: <a href="<{$xoops_url}>"> is the link.
This part: {$smarty.const._MA_MENU_HOME} is what the link will be called on your site.
Using Smarty values should mean that the site will work with multiple laguages (For example you may have an option somewhere to display everything in French?). So is your site aimed at more than one language or is all of your content English?
Basically the smarty value calls a constant and if the language is English I will see Home, News, Contact, where as a French could for example click on a French flag on your site and would see the French alternatives as long as they have been declared in the French Language files...
If your site is aimed at an English audience then you can just pull those smarty values out and make the links look like this instead:
So lets try a couple more of your links:
Hope this helps you a little further.

Ok the website name that appears at the top can be changed in 2 ways:
1. Go to Admin, General Settings and change the site name to TIMEBROKERS (Or TIMEBROKERS.be)
2. edit the theme.html file and 'hard code' the TIMEBROKERS name.
To change the links, again you need to edit the theme.html file, just open the file with your favourite web publishing package (for example: Frontpage) you can then make the changes in a GUI environment, alternatively you can open the file with a text editor and make then changes in something like Notepad.
Dave
PS: I think I just blurted that lot out so if you need more info please ask.

Not sure if I have misunderstood.
If I have understood you correctly then you wish to have banners which change randomly - this feature is buit into XOOPS already.
Goto the admin menu and then go to the general preferences. In there you will see an option to turn on banner ads.
Now as long as your theme has the relevent info then banner adverts will start appearing on your site.
If I have misunderstood, can you please give a little more info.
This is the code to 'call' the banner which is usually already in most standard themes that are available for xoops:
<{$xoops_banner}>
If it's not there already then add it to the theme.html file, go back to general preferences and change the option to update templates to yes save the changes, check your changes have been saved and then go back to general preferences and change the option to update templates back to no
Let me know if you need more info here or if I have completely misunderstood your question.

goto the admin menu for your site and then goto the News Preferences in there you will see the following option:
Select yes to display navigation box at the top of each news page
Change this to No and then save your changes, this will remove the dropdown box and Go button.
Dave
PS: Like the theme.

I don't know of any existing tutorials to help with this, however if you explain what it is you're after perhaps someone can help you out, point you to the right template to edit etc.

With XOOPS 2.2.x you will no longer find that modules are included with the core package.
If you follow this link:
https://xoops.org/modules/core/viewcat.php?cid=9
You will find the XOOPS 2.2 module packs, if you click the link for full details you will see which modules are included in each pack, the idea is that core updates no longer need to worry about updating modules, and the module packs should make it fairly easy for you to get a set of modules all in one go that are most often found at a particular type of site.
If you do not wish to download an entire module pack do a search for cbb in the module repository.
Once you have downloaded the module(s) you require, unzip them and upload the module directory to the /module directory on your web server.
Then go to Admin, look for module administration and click the icon to install the module in question.
Think that covers most points, let me know if I have made little or no sense.

Hi.
I was having a similar problem myself.
I looked around XOOPS site and found this FAQ:
https://xoops.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=329
Unfortunately this was not the case for me, it seems that my problem was related to the welcome new user function in CBB (I think) so I just disabled this funtion and so far the problem seems to have gone.
The FAQ may provide you with some useful info.

I think the problem was caused by something to do with the new user post thing in CBB, have disabled this and things seem to be working again.
Could that be the case? Or is it just some freaky 5 minutes?
