The "latest news" is a graphic header for the front page of ur news area, it could be edited in your template files. However, I don't really think thats what you're after here... if you do as directed above & add a few images: reviews.jpg & news.gif, for example, & drop those into your yoursite.com/modules/news/images/topics/ folder via FTP or your file manager... Then go into ur admin section > News > Edit Topic > Reviews - you should see a drop down select menu containing reviews.jpg & news.gif. Choose ur reviews image, hit submit, & reload ur news page. You should see the change you're after, I believe...

For reference, here is the main news page of my site, same as yours but with the topic images (mine are flash) in place. Each different colored XOOPS dude is a different news topic image, each displays alongside news items posted in his category. Get it?

[Edit: You may also have to enable these images to be displayed via your news admin > Preferences]

Hope this helps...

The WebLinks Module @http://linux2.ohwada.net/ has an option to include a link to yahoo maps with each item, might work for you.

Topic-specific images can be specified in the news admin section... just upload the images u wanna display to yoursite.com/modules/news/images/topics/ & choose em from the drop down.

Copy & paste works, lol.

More specifically, highlight the source code for the login block (as displayed, not from the template) & paste it into your theme.html header, where ever you want it. Then, of course, turn off the login block.

Hope this helps.

You will find this functionality not in the admin section but directly on your downloads pages. To the left the 'Description' heading on each item, you will find an 'edit' icon. Click it & go from there.

The only other way is going thru em by ID in the admin section, 1, 2, 3, 4 & so on.

Hope this helps.

You might be interested in the 'Blockies' module from BrandyCoke Productions - doesn't do quite what you want but it does give you both a "recent headline" & a "random headline" block.

The blocks you apply to your modules are module-wide, if you place a block on "news" then it will display on every 'news' page. In other words, blocks arent page specific, they are module-specific.

A dynamic block could theoretically be created that would display different content pending on which news topic you were browsing, but far as I know none such exist.

Good luck ;)

Re: Can I move Poll Comments to a Forum Thread?

Only 1 way I can think of achieving this - view the source on the poll page, copy & paste it to your favorite text editor, isolate the table that contains the comments (yes, all of them) & then paste it right into ur forum as a new thread & route ur ppl there via a link at the end of ur lengthy poll.
If HTML is not enabled on your board... *shrugs*

I just unzipped the package and put in in the same folder my other skins are in. Selected the skin in the admin panel Reloaded and *poof*. I simply get a white page now. I can't even set it back now.

You can set it back tho... just hit yoursite.com/admin.php - go to preferences, change the theme back to default or whatever & viola, ur site still exists.

While i am here, i did check out other members XOOPS site and i notice i get a blank page for a few seconds, and the panel at the botton of IE says "Done". Then suddenly it loads the correct page.

I've noticed that too on some heavier XOOPS sites, often on this one for some reason. I believe its just a matter of the browser processing the page, same as with any website.

Next how can i backup my site. I wouldn't want to have a complete website go *poof* because i made a mistake and need to redo all the work.

Search the module repository for the "backup" module, it works nicely for this task. I've had to start from scratch a zillion times for lack of keeping regular backups, this module helps remind you with its 'backup' block.

Is there a way to make the URL look like 'www.mysite.com/index.html' instead of 'www.mysite.com/mudules/news'?

In preferences, set "Module for your start page" to none, then populate your front page with block content. You wont have yoursite.com/index.html, instead you'll have yoursite.com/index.php. Works nicely.

Sorry for all the questions. I'm really deciding if i want to go with the software or not before i wrestle myself through all the documentation.

As far as these things go, XOOPS is one of the best free content solutions out there - however, its not worth much if you don't know what to do with it. Suffer thru the documentation, it's worth it ;)

Hope this helps :)

XOOPS is more than welcome to use the "mascot" I created for MyXoops... hes cute, simple, & easy to manipulate.

Check him out below, or see him in action at the top of the page here.

I'm guessing you recently installed the IBF module, which overwrites the online users block & adds 'anonymous login' functionality.

no?
