Myself and a few others have been throwing ideas around of paying a developer to write a module for XOOPS specifically to be able to mail out to very large user bases without killing the server. This is not a trivial task as the code must be very robust, efficient, scalable and secure. If you are interested let me know.


Have you looked at PHPlist? I have been thinking about integrating this as an XOOPS module for some time, but I know I won't get around to it. You could ask the author if he is interested in stripping out the bulk mailing code into a module for XOOPS, I am sure a fee would help ;)

Simplifying the look of NewBB2

I like the new features in NewBB2, but I find the display really cluttered. The popup menus don't help IMHO, they just confuse things by appearing and disappearing as you move your mouse around the screen, trying to find what you want

Is there a simpler set of templates available?

If not, can anyone recommend a theme with a simple set of templates for the old NewBB that can be modified?

If not that either, does anyone have some half-way working templates for NewBB2 and wouldn't mind sharing them?
Or as a last resort, does anyone have any suggestions for me before I go away and build 'the ultimate NewBB template set'?

Mailing list integration

Is there already a hack to import messages from a mailbox into a forum?

How about integrating with a mailman mailing list for membership management? I am thinking of a script that generates HTTP requests to log in to a mailman script and post admin forms to add members etc. - ugly but the only way I can think of to integrate a mailman mailing list such as you get with most cPanel hosting accounts with XOOPS.

No problem!

Of course ini_set('url_rewriter.tags', '') is sometimes desireable as well (if you don't want PHP session IDs in URLs and you don't care about sessions for users with cookies disabled). Perhaps there should be a configurable option for this, although it is not a very friendly concept for first time users.

The problem with Marcan's fix is that it disables non-cookie sessions. This might not be a problem for you, but it does break tracking and counting (anonymous) users with cookies switched off. On the other hand, you might not want PHP session IDs in URLs, in which case that fix is the way to go.

The alternative to make PHP generate the XHTML compliant &PHPSESSID=etc. is to use ini_set('arg_separator.output', '&'); as described here.

Blocks don't display if top page is sent to None

I want my home page to be just a collection of centre blocks. I have set the blocks I want to display in 'Top Page' only and set 'Module for your start page' to 'None'.

This works fine while I am logged in, but anonymous users get a totally blank screen. (Anonymous users do have permission for the blocks).

When I remove $xoopsOption['show_cblock'] =1; from the root index.php, things do at least work, but without my top page blocks.

At the moment I have worked around it by using a dummy module as my Top Page which just includes mainfile, header and footer. This works OK, but I don't really want the main index.php to use a HTTP redirect to this page.

Any fix or better work-around available?

Re: Dokuwiki - A really good wiki working with xoops

Dokuwiki looks very interesting. Particularly for me, as I have been working on an integration of WikkiTikkiTavi to XOOPS - I am reluctant to post a link as the site is such a mess while development work is going on but here goes... (don't let the theme put you off, it IS xoops, and I like yellow).

So I wonder, shall I continue with my project which adds permissions, XOOPS comments, integration of XOOPS search and notifications to Tavi, or should I move the project to Dokuwiki? Or does noone here like wikis anyway?

That does exactly what I need! All I need to do is a block template to my own liking and a NewBB2 plugin and it will be perfect.

Thanks for the link, I could have wasted hours reinventing this

I want to put a block on my site that is like the latest forum messages block, but shows titles of and links to the latest content on my site across ALL modules something like this:

Forum     This was the last message posted
News      Something happened today
Forum     Aonther forum message
Comment   Re
Something happened a while ago
Links     Official XOOPS Website
Comment   Re
Something happened a while ago


The block would need to use its own queries to extract the data; doing this for the 'standard' modules would be relatively easy and a plugin process similar to the SiteMap module could be used to extend this.

Has something like this already been done?
