When you try to add a new HTML block and press preview it dosen't display the block it just shows the 'Add a new block' section on its own page.

Just wondering..
how do you make the module to appear on the front page?

like showing only the categories and sub categories. without setting them as the startup module

Thanks

Excellent, thanks Draven!

I dissagree with the word PINNED it sounds yucky!! i like the word STICKY because it sounds like a POST-IT note or a sticky note it stays on top of the rest of the topics.. basically i just like that STICKY NAME BETTER. IF this gets changed in up comming versions of XOOPS ill have to change it to suit my needs.. i change the icons as it is anyways. No offense to you catz we all have our oppinions pinned just sounds weird.

FYI, XOOPS 2_0_5rc has this update included in it, and it posts comments correctly.

Pinned is what a lot of the boards and systems are calling it now. I duno why but I like "pinned" a lot more too.

can anyone help me modify the waiting content block so i can include in it articles that have been submitted to wf-section and events that have been submitted to agenda-x that are waiting for validation?

My theme is basically a modified version of PHPKaox.

It is supposedly using tables which is why the annoying thing with the formatting. Tables shouldn't cause this display problem.

However, I will try looking through the file you mentioned.

Thanks.

My resolution is the same as yours.

I did use hard returns to fix the problem but this is besides the point.

I don't think it is an issue with XOOPS as such but an issue maybe with the implementation of the DIV tags in the browsers.

Now that I think of it, I have many issues trying to use the DIV tags in normal HTML.

I guess the problem is the way W3C has set the guidelines for using them.

I get the same problems with IE and Mozilla.

Haven't been home yet to try out Safari.

Yes I had the same problem with XOOPS default, the x2t theme does not have this you can put any size of topic image in without having to do hard returns to fill the overlap.

What is your default template for the theme? it is your default template which is controlling the look of the news module

In XOOPS default template the code for "news_item.html" --which is the news items of front page looks like this:

<div class="item">
<div class="itemHead"><span class="itemTitle"><{$story.title}></span></div>
<div class="itemInfo">
<span class="itemPoster"><{$lang_postedby}> <{$story.poster}></span> <span class="itemPostDate"><{$lang_on}> <{$story.posttime}></span> (<span class="itemStats"><{$story.hits}> <{$lang_reads}></span>)
</div>
<div class="itemBody">
<{$story.imglink}>
<p class="itemText"><{$story.text}></p>
</div>
<div class="itemFoot">
<span class="itemAdminLink"><{$story.adminlink}></span> <span class="itemPermaLink"><{$story.morelink}></span>
</div>
</div>

END

In x2t the "news_item.html" looks like this:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="5" align="center">
<tr>
<td width="100%" valign="top" class="newsTitle" colspan="2"><img src="<{$xoops_imageurl}>folder.gif" align="middle" alt="" /> <b><{$story.title}></b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" colspan="2" class="newsPoster"> <{$lang_postedby}> <{$story.poster}> <span class="textPoster"><{$lang_on}> <{$story.posttime}> (<{$story.hits}> <{$lang_reads}>)</span></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<{if $story.align == "left" }>
<td width="17%" valign="top" class="newsMisc">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" valign="top" align="center">
<{$story.imglink}></td>
<tr>
<td width="100%" valign="top" align="center" style="padding: 3px;">
<a href="print.php?storyid=<{$story.id}>" target="_blank"><img src="images/print.gif" alt="<{$lang_printerpage}>" /></a>
<a target="_top" href="<{$story.mail_link}>"><img src="images/friend.gif" alt="<{$lang_sendstory}>" /></a>
</td></tr></table>
</td>
<td width="83%" class="newsContent" valign="top">
<{$story.text}>
</td>
<{else}>
<td width="83%" class="newsContent" valign="top">
<{$story.text}>
</td>
<td width="17%" valign="top" class="newsMisc">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="100%" valign="top" align="center">
<{$story.imglink}></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" valign="top" align="center" style="padding: 3px;">
<a href="print.php?storyid=<{$story.id}>" target="_BLANK"><img src="images/print.gif" alt="<{$lang_printerpage}>" /></a>
<a target="_top" href="<{$story.mail_link}>"><img src="images/friend.gif" alt="<{$lang_sendstory}>" /></a>
</td></tr></table>

</td>
<{/if}>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" colspan="2" class="newsPoster" align="right"><span class="textPoster"><{$story.adminlink}> <{$story.morelink}> </span></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />


End

The point is, you will find that whatever your default template is--will probably work with larger images with "tables" rather than "divs" (i am no expert perhaps a coder has a simpler way)

you also will need to change news_article.html which is the full article view file

there is a tutorial on the wiki about templates
