Yes,

I think you're right, it's coming along pretty quickly. So nice when things come together like this, it means the original product was well-designed.

Another Q:

I set up another menu item under News and called it admin, linking it to admin.php.

How do I set it up so the link does not show up unless one is logged in with permissions to access the admin page?

I think this is possible in postnuke, hoping it's possible with XOOPS!

Thanks b'zillions

Re: Help making admin look like rest of site

I have not tried to do this...but my assumption is that it would be easier to add the admin functions to the regular layout. AFAIK the admin panel does not use smarty templates at all - so making it parse the current theme.html would be a definite stumbling block.

Hi,

I need to make the news admin match the layout of the rest of the site .. the journalism dept at my uni will be using XOOPS and they would freak out if they go to edit articles and it kicks into the default mode .. so i want to take the edit/approve article functionality out of the admin area and put it into the regular news module.

I'm wondering if anyone has done this and could offer some advice -- is it easier to port the admin news features to the regular layout, or to go the other way around, and just port the layout to the admin area? It's a pretty general question at this point, but what aspects of the admin section need to be ported over other than the obvious?

Additionally it would be nice if there is a way to handle this in several modules!!

Is there an easy way to do this? It looks kind of involved!!

Thanks for any help

You asked for it, now you have it. The hack has been posted in the "Modules / Themes" section on Xoops.
The direct link to the Zip file is:https://xoops.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=418
The direct link to the gzip/tar file is:

Just want to let those following this thread that the hack is now available in the D/L section (well, it was submitted.... it may be a day or two before it actually shows up). If any one needs/wants it direct, contact my self via email, or ScoobRS. Either one of us should be able to get it to you.

In the near future, I plan to hopefully develop it a bit more to search out more items, as it now only does the forums. If it grows enough, I might be convinced enough to develop a full-fledged module that can do this kind of searching for the whole site dynamically.

Definately a good idea. Had I thought about that I would not had reason for posting this thread. I think everyone should use your suggested security measure that use the 4mps phpmyadmin 240-rc1 module.

I posted that I had removed the module but you would be suprised how many people still tried to use that URL. I am curious if anyone else ran that similar URL on their domain using the same module?

I asked a simerlar question, about the security, but don't seem to remember getting a reply, but then I posted straight mentioned to cut the risk you could, and I would any way, protect the directory with .htaccess, then you run no risk of direct access to your database through PHPmyadmin.

The only downside to this, is you gotta log in twice, once admin, then second to phpmyadmin.

I thought it might be worth mentioning the .htaccess thing.

That is pretty much what I did.
I was not exactly sure if that was definately
a security breach. But it sure looked like one when I followed that url to the backend of the database.
