I really couldn't see an Auction project on the dev community so I've started one.

The module will be called 'Auction Rooms' and intends being a multi currency, multi category, multi room auction house, taking off where phpAuction stops. tall order I know, but you gotta aim high

As this is going to be a big project, I am doing it the old fashioned way, so requirements and scope definition first! Requirements is where you all can help. Go over to the project page, select the Functions tracker and add your requirements to the list.

Anyone interested in joining in should go to Auction Rooms

Do you need help with this? I don't see the project on the dev community.

This is obviously off topic, but what is the difference between XOOPS and e-Xoops?

Cheers mate for the clarification. Can you shift this message to core forum?

Also, can you perhaps point me at the discussion of *how* the dynamic user profile is going to be addressed (I can't find it

I checked out dev forge. phpDoc is too acidic (as in my experience is all computer generated documentation, it assumes you know what you are doing in the first place.) It needs the human touch to make it human readable. But that is just my opinion If anyone can remember Borland, their documentation of pascal, c, paradox, prolog and anything else they did was exemplary (even given the passage of 15 or so years). Don't think we can achieve that (though I could be wrong) but as an exemplar it is something to aim at.

Despite a number of other posts elsewhere in various forums saying that this particular feature is part of the 2.1 roadmap, it isn't. So here it is to get it registered on dev team radar

1st one:
- User/member data needs to be extensible by site admin.
A number of admins would like to be able add new data and/or functionality to the user/member class. For instance one of my sites (valentinewalton.co.uk) would like to add snail mail address, joining dates, d.o.b., telnums etc so that we can actually use the site as central membership register. the carrot here is that if it becomes relatively straightforward to extend user/member class then quite a few people (myself included) are going to go flat out to produce CRM capabilities that will make XOOPS stand out head and shoulders above the competition.

I've tried to decipher what is going on in the user/member classes to see if I could extend myself but clearly (and obviously from other users's comments and experience) this is a daunting task as you really are playing deep in the guts of the core system. The amount of published info is sparse, So ...

2nd one:
- Clear unambigous developer notes/instructions on the system that would allow developers to build on the system. I recall from somewhere else that the team are moving towards 'Xoops Certified' modules, rather than core mods etc. Perhaps one of the tests for inclusion is that bods like me can read and understand proper system documentation for the module? In the same vein, a 'how to' would seem appropriate. I am not sufficiently familiar with php to know if it supports 'morphing classes for instance so that I can replace the user class with my own, but perhaps I digress.

Kind regards

I've been looking for this and can see no further action on any dev forum anywhere. Somewhere else, someone said that 2.1 would have this functionality, but I cannot track down the dev roadmap to check.

The Big Boys Curry Book has been going for 7 years now and has proved very popular. About 2 or 3 months ago I discovered XOOPS and have now rewritten it to take advantage of the technology. Please take a look and see for yourself.

I know there is one problem, that of the site not displaying consistently on all browsers. On my Linux/Mozilla browser it is fine, on a Win98/IE6 the type is a bit big, yet on a Linux/Firefox browser the type appears quite small. I'm told that small type is also a problem on XP/IE6. If anyone knows how I can resolve this I'd appreciate your input.

Happened to notice that my url for site contained double slash after domain name (e.g. www.mysite.com//) in my browser. Looked in mainfile.php and XOOPS_URL define had slash after name. Removed this and now forum admin works.

Why it diverted to google remains a mystery, and why it only effected forum admin I haven't a clue.

Anyway it might help someone else to know this.

Kind Regards
Ashley

I can only find Spybot S&D for windows. Does anyone know if there is a similar prog for linux machines?

Hi

The url I use to go to google is 'http://www.google.co.uk/'

What shows when admin page redirects is as above.

I've tried from a windows IE6 browser (my normal one iz Linux Mozilla) and it gets redirected to www.bestoftheweb.com error page!! when you hit a submit button.

I've cleared down my proxy server cache and the browser history cache on the local machine.

I've checked the file and directory permissions and /modules/newbb is drwxr-xr-x and all php scripts are -rw-r--r--

If there is anything else I can check I'd be happy to do so.

Regards
Ashley
