Hmm. [extend] doesn't work in my AMS article. Is that AMS with the
two-wide columns down the center?

Also.I shoulda posted this under module support. Don't think
I can move from one forum to another now after a followup.

Thanks Mr Seymour for quick reply.

Hi,

I've installed the latest AMS module to manage articles on a page. I'd
like to show my articles with a brief intro and a 'Click to read full
article' page. However the [extend] and following [pagebreak]
codes are ignored in my articles. AMS shows the articles with
the codes printed along with the article text. I ask here because
registration is closed at Mithrandir's support site.

Is there any secret to paging articles? Is there another article module
that provides the ability to show a paragraph from an article
with a clickable link to the entire article? Thanks for any info in
advance. Also it'd be nice to have something that provides one or
two column layout down the center column.

Hi,

I'm a long time perl programmer looking to add functionality to a new XOOPS site. I need to collect reports from members with various widgets and a corresponding count for each. I need to summarize the counts in a total on the masthead which is shown to all vistors - anonymous and members.

This is mind boggling simple in OO perl CGI.pm code. While in development I'm running XOOPS on one of my servers and know it's quick to add in a cgi page to collect my stats and present around the masthead. But likely it's best to do this in a module. Sometime in the near future we will host the developed site elsewhere with php/xoops people and I'd like local support if needed.

I've looked around for a module developers guide and found old posts from 2003. Looking for docs at Module Dev Forge I see that site is down and will be back up sometime this month (one day left or we need to change the message).

In perl module would work like this.

I present a form to a user with a two textfields per widget (description and count). One or many widgets can be input.

When I receive the form I taint check/validate and if all is good I connect via odbc, insert my variables into a table (adding the user id,date,ip address) and close the database handle.

My counts would be displayed in a block using a sql count.

I'd like some advice on how hard this is to do in XOOPS coding. A pointer to a developers guide would be great if it's not too involved.

Thanks,BA

Hi,

Is there a manual or docs describing the content module? I've read the forums and see a lot of admins like it but I cannot figure out how to use it. I did get an article defined and it shows up as the default page whether I'm logged in or not. I'd like to have a default page for members and another page for anonymous users.

Eventually I'd like to have a news page with various news articles and a corresponding photo for each. I've installed Content, article, articles and headlines. Recommendations toward this goal are welome.

TIA, BA

Wardick you are the man! Thanks for the help.

Hi,

I'm building my first XOOPS site and have installed about 30 modules. Somehow in the install process I've introduced a control-M charater that displays above the banner. How can I figure out where this character is located. Each page shows '^M' as text and then right underneath the banner.

Thanks, BA
