Sorry. I've been meaning to look into this but haven't had any free time in the last week. Three-day weekend coming so I hope to see if I can replicate it.

I'm certainly not a theme guru, but I'm good at fumbling about with things.

Dynamic Headline Text --> Image

I just ran across this interesting php/java implementation that might warrant some discussion.

http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dynatext/

The executive summary is that this will dynamically replace text with a PNG using a font on the webserver of your choice.

Advantages? No need to create header image gif/jpg/png files for every spot you use non-standard fonts. Easy changing of header fonts on-the-fly.

Glad I sent the whole theme with all the files to you. I'd been playing with it and like I mentioned, somewhere along the way it started working....

I was thinking of narrowing the left and right blocks too since I don't use a main menu block with the tabs. I'll take a look at your changes. Might it be that some default templates require a certain minimum width?

Re: Headlines: Can't get any headlines to display in block

I've been messing with the Headlines module lately too and have been experiencing similiar issues. One thing I noticed is that some feeds take about 24 hours to activate. The BBC ones I added were like that. And if they require a different encoding from the default, it can be frustrating having to change it and wait again. For sites that don't display immediately I think I'll just do three subscribes -- one in each encoding format -- and then delete the ones that don't show up.

I've also tried the XOOPS port of myHeadlines but it is throwing errors and not allowing me to administer it to set it up. I really like the multiple display options with easy to configure feeds from a huge compiled list. Alas, no one replied to my queries on whether the module was broken for them or if it's me and my choice of themes. More research....

Best of luck. I'd like to see RSS feeds become more manageable in XOOPS in the future. The ability to have them feed in and an admin be able to click a box to display on the news page would be nifty. Another display format I'd like is the ability to show multiple feed info in date/time order rather than grouped by feed.

Just sent via email. Hope you don't mind. It's my working version of the whole theme in case I did something in another file. File dates should show what I've mucked with in my tinkering.

Interesting.... Mine is now displaying properly. However to be honest I don't know that anything I did should have fixed it.

With that in mind I'll just outline what I did do. In between changes I did a template/theme update.

I went throught the css file and reformatted statements they were "whatever: value" as a few were "whatever : value". Could css be parsed wrong with the extra space???

I changed the site to have "none" for the default module. I messed with the blocks a bit and decided I didn't like the change and restored "news" as the default module.

I changed XOOPS content to be at the top of the blocks. Again, I didn't like it and changed it back.

In the theme and in the css I changed centreblock to centerblock. All other references to center were spelled "center" and this inconsistency bugged me.

I'm curious if any of these help others. I'm in my second week of learning css via the XOOPS crash course so maybe all my hand waving and module changing did nothing and my site is now working via dumb luck. I can't think of anything else I've done that might have "fixed" it.

Seems pretty responsive to me. I'm on a T1.

Perhaps they had some bad hops to your site that day? If a connection between you and them goes down it can cause serious slowdowns to some sites but not others. I have had this happen a few times where I can access sites north of me without any trouble but anything south sloooooows down. Things like this are normally resolved pretty quickly within a day or two.

Perhaps post your site url? It could be them and not your site that has issues.

MyHeadlines module not working?

Has anyone had any luck with the myHeadlines module lately? Seems that all discussion on it is a year old....

http://www.jmagar.com/myh4

I really like the overall look of it. It allows 6-up display of news sites as well as a running list of all the news in the day in time order.

Are these things easily doable with the built-in RSS reader in Xoops?

Thanks in advance!

"Your issue: It seems to me in center column "clear: left" is missing."

Please bear with me as I am an absolute novice with CSS but am learning more by the minute in dissecting themes and reading the discussions on it.

There are no "clear: left" statements but there are a few "clear:both" statements. These are in the #footer, #clearfooter, #content-nav and #ccfinished tags.

Looking forward to a solution! Teach on!
