naish:

Welcome to XOOPS! With all that enthusiasm I'm sure we'll soon have many new additions to this excellent CMS. My suggestion would be to get in touch with Catzwolf, as he's been charged with the leadership of the Modules Developement Team. This is in particular regarding the static pages creation module, for I think he's almost ready with another module of the WF family to do just that.

In my very first theme I included Tigra Menu Pro and it worked fine in MSIE and NN, but not in Macintosh. Stopped using if because at the time I didn't want to leave those users out, but IMHO Tigra's products are among the best.

Many of us would like a more sleek interface in the admin side. In fact, a more usable and friendly interface. I'm sure Onokazu shares the same concerns. It's just not as easy because XOOPS code is more complex, or so it seems to me.

I've been playing a bit with different notions for the admin side. I'll be happy to hear about your team's ideas. I'm sure smoething good will come out of it.

Again, welcome to the XOOPS community and let's rock'n'roll! (I always wanted to say this )

Cheers.

For a detailed explanation of the fieldset tag, please read here:

The <fieldset> tag

You can experiment with styles here:

Try It Editor

You can see in the list of the tag's attributes it supports id, class and style, among others. In short, instead of

<fieldset style="border-color:#00ff00 border: 2px">

perhaps you could try:

<fieldset style="border: 2px solid #cc0000">

replacing the thickness, border style and color for the ones you want. This should work, you just have to remember to clear your cache (delete all the files in the templates_c directory).

Cheers.

Shijk:

You can't find it because it's not defined. In the default stylesheet the selector fieldset is not included. However, if you see the files theme_blockcenter_c.html, theme_blockcenter_l.html, and theme_blockcenter_r.html (that are also part of the theme, of course), you'll see the selector invoked, though not defined.

So the solution is to add it to the stylesheet just as I suggested.

Cheers.

Shijk:

That gray line you see appears so because that's the default behaviour in absence of a defined stylesheet selector. What you need to do is to include in your stylesheet a selector for the element fieldset, the responsible of the curved borders frame around your center-center block. So you need to add something like:


in your stylesheet. Of course you have to specify whatever color you want.

Cheers.

I'm glad you've solved your problem. And one of the reasons I'm here is I like helping other people just as some others helped me while learning to play with Xoops.

As far as I know, The module nearest to a usable state is osCommerce, but I haven't tried it yet.

Cheers.

Freaky:

If you can see the options, select Admin > Modules and then update the system module.

If you can't see the options, try now using

http://www.yoursitesname.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=modulesadmin

and then update the system module.

Cheers.

Freaky:

Try to log in with your admin user and password

http://www.yoursitesname.com/user.php

and then, if you log in correctly

http://www.yoursitesname.com/admin.php

Cheers.

Freaky:

Try typing this in your browser's URL field:

http://www.yoursitesname.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=modulesadmin

If you get the modules list page, go to the System module line, look for the "Action" column and click on the left icon to update the module.

I hope this works.

Cheers.

Hey, Catzwolf:

I'm not sure about what g0nk1 would want, but here's my own take:

Imagine a module callet, hmm, let's see: WF-Channel. It's a fairly simple thing that lets you build a content channel.

Let me explain. Most modules that include categories let you define the categories and then submit content that can fit in those categories. WF-Channel would have a single page and as many children pages as needed. Every page would need to be easily edited.

I know this can be done with Tiny Content. but TC's additional pages are indexed in a block. What separates WF-Channel from TC is that it includes the additional pages as subitems in the main menu entry, as well as optional related content links at the end of the index page.

Another dreamt of feature of WF-Channel: It creates its own instances. So, maybe g0nk1 wants an About Us page with three subpages: "History", "Site awards" and "Submission guidelines". Then he remembers he wants to put a What we do "channel" with "Products", "Services", "Guarantees"... He fires up WF-Channel, clicks on "Create new instance" and lo and behold!: He can do it, and he can manage every instance from within the same module...

Does this make sense? It would be like a mini-WF-Section module, only for static content... and without the many bells and whistles...

Cheers.

g0nk1:

You have at least three options to do that:

1) Get the module called impressum. It's German and all it handles is a single page with text.

2) Get the module called About. Does the same.

3) Use an instance of Tiny Content to create your "About Us" online.

The three options are fairly easy to implement.

Cheers.
