The "New Subject" button is displaying the words "Nouv.Soujet", which is french. How do I change that and in what files? If at all possible, please tell me the line number in the file I must edit, as well.

Murky Buckets.

Car Dealer Website

This one could make a very interesting and attractive module for Xoops, increasing the potential reach of XOOPS into commercial sites for Used and New Car Dealers.

In case you were wondering: I can barely program my VCR.

One more thing, and I think that if quality assurance is about the quality of the module and thus, increasing near-universal usability, then this qualifies:

Module Documentation.

I cannot tell you how often I have found myself at loggerheads with a module, because while the functionality is in there, undoubtedly, I could not seem to pry it out.

One thing that we can advocate for is documentation aimed at admins, to help them get that module up and running in a reasonable time frame. I mean doing what it is purported to do, not just installed and sitting there, looking promising.

That would be a real quality boost.

Also, and this could be a toughie: A standard on screen and operational metaphors. Cut down on the "Tower of Babel" factor.


Of course, I do understand the native language pitfalls in all of this.

Ok, so I are a QA'er. Oh, I have arrived! /celebration

Now, what are we to run on our QA Test Sites? 2.0.9? Whatever version is in development for 2.1, showstoppers and all?

I can have a 2.0.9 test site up and rocking by the end of the day, but the way I read it, 2.1 is where this QA program is focused, hence, we should be running whatever is the most advanced core XOOPS functionality that is presently in development, available and runnable, without those special little features that reduce servers to their smoking molecular constituents. Or, should we have a 2.0.9 team and a 2.1 team(Here there be tygers...).

Ok. You are now free to abuse me of my misconceptions.

I run a site for a County political party, and pulling in content from the blogs has been really popular. Well, I had to change hosting companies and the site did not survive the move. I an resetting the site and setting up the Headlines module and now it has problems. It only pulls in the content from one site and that content does not display in a block on the front page.

What salient point am I missing.

Oh, I tried xhld, too. A funny thing happened:

The whole damn database went away. I think I will give that one a little time to mature.

Thanks to a client that wanted the login NOT on the front page of the site, I disabled it on the front page and enabled it on other pages.

Guess what. Didn't work. Now, I cannot login to do the admin stuff I so desperately need to do.

Well, I guess this means I have to drill down with phpmyadmin. So, where do I go and what do I change and what do I change it to?

Quick. I need help.

Thanks.

Why is this harder than I think it needs to be?

I tried opening it up in The Gimp. No dice. I am obviously missing something. So, what am I missing?

I want to make new favicons for the three XOOPS sites I run.

I am setting up a new site, and dropped in the "Daybreak" theme as a temporary solution, while waiting on a permanent theme from 7Dana Goran. Thing is, after I dropped it in and ran it throught the site a few times, I noticed that I had to make a few small modifications to the theme.html, most noticibly in the label on the search button. So I did and uploaded the modified file to the site. The old theme.html seems to still be locked in somewhere.

Is there something I am missing? Some magic button in templates or somewhere?

Not a big thing, but it's nagging me.
