Here is the background. I have a site that is currently running PHPBB2 and other articles. I want to convert this site to XOOPS but I am wondering which forum option to go for?
I am a regular user of Invision and PHPBB2 and like both boards. One design criteria is that all postings on the current board can be converted over to the new site.

So what are the Pros and Cons of using;
1) NewBB?
2) PHPBB2 Module?
3) Invision Module?

Hello,

I have working in this project but there are too much work at the moment... I have the result of the first step but one off the problem is the php Session used in phpcollab and it's not very easy to use the user table of xoops....

If you have time .....

I know some french coders were working on this, some time ago, but I don't know if there's any public release.

Re: Basic "link to file" system?

OK, I missed your goal of bypassing FTP.

WFSections may be a good module to try. I know that it has a filemanager to attach files to articles. It is one of the most popular and well-supported modules for Xoops, so if it meets your needs, that would be a good one to use.

Perhaps the Filemanager module or the Document Management module would do what you are trying to do. Unfortunately, I've not used either one, perhaps another user will comment.

OK, but what mechanism do I use to do that? The whole intention of the set up is so that the people using XOOPS won't have to understand FTP-ing or anything.

I guess, even if there is some nice interface outside of XOOPS that I could use, then that's what I'm after.

I just want them to be able to log in, click "Upload a file", give a few details and up it goes. The old newsletter gets shunted back into an old list, and only the most recent is readily available.

Re: Basic "link to file" system?

While you are waiting for a better answer, here is a suggestion. It would work as follows:

Ask the person uploading the file to give each newsletter a unique filename, such as 2003maynews.doc for a newsletter from May 2003.

Have them upload the file. Then upload the file again as currentnews.doc.

In a custom block, you could create a link to currentnews.doc.

Hi all,

Work continues on a site for a school that I'm developing. The main page (of which you can see a temp non-xoops version athttp://www.superhost.co.nz/~intnrm/) has a pace on the right for a link to a newsletter from the school.

This file will be (typically) a Word document that people can download. I want a really simple way that someone can log in, upload the latest newsletter file and that it can then be downloaded from the main page.

I've tried modifying the downloads module to no avail. I've found a newsletter module that actually does a different thing to what I want, as well as a file manager module that was not of use.

Is there a module that will handle simple uploads, keep each of the newsletters accessible on one page but also allow me to set it to always point to the most recent file from the main page?

Cheers,

Phil

builderb,

In any upcoming version, can I recommend new fields for:

1. an extra address line for business with long adresses, something like "address line1 / address line 2"

2. a new field for "Country" useful for me as I have readers in Japan as well as other countries. I could also imagine it would be useful for sites that have readership in the European Union.


Also my friend and I are almost finished with the japanese language files. I'll post here to tell everyone when they're finished. Maybe next week. If you can incorporatethe new fileds in an update before then, we'll put the changes in the language files.

Jose
