Well ... to be honest ... I have used a few "hacks" on this one site. So I was kind of hoping the "upgrade patch" would eliminate the need for me to have to remember the files I had modified ... since I imagine the upgrade patch would only have the changed files for me to upload.

Uploading the full version would mean I would have to figure out which hacks I applied to the site and then either add in the extra lines into each of the new file copies ... or ... not upload the new file copies. If that makes sense.

Basically, I am hoping for the "lazy mans solution"

which I am hoping the patch will give me

2.2 to 2.2.2 Upgrade Patch ... Any word on when it will be available?

I am just wondering if there is any word or projected timeline on when the

2.2 to 2.2.2 Direct Upgrade Patch

is expected to be posted.

A week ago (August 16th) Mithrandir posted that a "direct patch" was being developed ... but had "run into some unforeseen problems". It was mentioned it could be a few days or a week. I have been checking here multiple times per day since and have not seen anything new posted about it.

Just curious on if there has been any progress in finding solutions for the "unforeseen problems".

Thanks
Peter

Thanks for your responses gestroud and adrock ... they are appreciated.

gestroud - if I go with the multiple accounts type of setup ... I am planning to have different admin logins for each site for myself

Thats not going to be a problem ... I hope

adrock - your impression is correct ... if I am understanding your thoughts correctly

I think your description on how you would accomplish setting up each child site is a little more complex than I am comfortable with. I will likely just set up the main site with all the modules I will want ... and then put a copy of that installation onto each child site and do a "clean install" to each. No doubt it will take longer than how you suggest ... but its a process I am most comfortable with.

Thanks for reminding me about the xhld0 module. I had looked at it for another site ... but it was not what I needed there and I had basically forgotten about it until you mentioned it.

The one thing I like most about the idea of having separate installations and separate databases is .... if one screws up it doesn't mess up the whole group of them. Hopefully. The only thing I am a wee bit concerned about is ... they will all be on the same web server. But ... not much I can do about that

Thanks again for your time and sharing your thoughts.

Best way to accomplish multiple sites ???

I have another idea for a website ... and am just wondering how best I might accomplish it.

I have tons of webspace & bandwidth & databases available .. so that is not an issue ... and I have a resellers hosting account (but am not a reseller), so I can create as many separate accounts as I want/need.

I want to have one main site ... call it http://www.abcde.com

But want 10 or 12 subdomains under it ... each with info, news etc. specific to that province or territory. They would be called (example) http://www.1.abcde.com, http://www.2.abcde.com etc. Each of the subdomain sites ... I envision them "feeding" current area news to the main site. And the main site would have links to each of the subdomain sites.

All sites would use the same theme, have the same "bells & whistles" (aka modules) and would be the same version of Xoops. Each subdomain would have its own "co-ordinator" of each sites submitters etc. And the only ones who would need to become members would be the submitters of news or articles etc.

So ... in your opinion ... would my best option be to set the main site & each of the "sub sites" up in their own accounts with their own web space & databases etc??

Or ... do you think going with Mithrandirs MultiSites be a better option.

How would you handle this??

Thanks for any and all input & suggestions

Take care
Peter

What version of XOOPS are you using?

I am sort of new to XOOPS myself ... so I think I've exhausted my ideas

But someone else with more knowledge might need to know the version you are using to better be able to assist you.

Good Luck

Nice site ... no problem viewing it at all.

Suggestion ... the Facts & Healthy Herbs blocks ... they are scrolling way too fast for me (at least) to actually really read what any of it says. Maybe slow down the scroll .. a lot

Otherwise ... gr8 site

PS. I am using IE6 with high speed internet.

Yup ... you are right ... when I click on a menu item the next page the blocks disappear.

I kind of hate to ask this ... since your site looks so great and has so much detail ... but its the first obvious possible reason for the disappear blocks ....

Are you sure you have set each of the blocks you want displayed on other pages actually assigned to display on more than just the main page???

Hi Mithrandir

I suspect you are right about the Moodle module or Moodle full package.

When I read the description for your module ... it struck me as more of a "one on one" tutor to pupil package. Where there might be several pupils needing lessons different from each other.

My friend ... usually has a couple dozen pupils at a time ... and needs a program where she can input all her "lessons" ... so if a student misses a day or wants to go back and review what was taught on a specific subject, they can do so using the internet. My friend teaches a specialized course where the students receive a government recognized accreditation upon completion. They all start at the same time and finish at the same time.

I am having her check out Moodle to try to determine if it will be robust enough for her needs. Hopefully it will be

Thanks for your input ... its appreciated

Thank you Stefan ....

EXACTLY the links I need. I am still not sure if either was the module I "think" I remember reading about ... but they are close enough

I am still thinking Moodle or Moodle4Xoops is the best one for my needs (or rather the needs of my friend)

Funny ... when I read the "News" item about Mithrandir's module here ... it did not sound exactly the same as it does on the link provided. On the link it sounds like an actual classroom module ... but on here it sounded more like a "private homepage" module.

Guess I will have to check both out to be positively sure which would be best for my friend.

Thanks again ... I really appreciate your efforts
Peter
