Hi,

obviously there's a variable lacking its definition.

I'd say it should be in (module_dir)/langage/english/blocks.php

try adding there sth like this:


define("_MB_CHESS_LABEL_NO_GAMES","No Games");

Hi, kamax,

this persian XOOPS site has 1083 members up to now -- just have a look at their xoopsmembers-Info

The link posted by kurak_bu makes it clear.

I'm really thinking of taking this link off of my XOOPS support links page.

@phppp:

I'm glad to here that there are finally "official" discussions on improving the XOOPS admin theme

just have a look at the mambo/joomla! admin interface (see demo here). Some years ago, before I came to XOOPS, I had worked with Mambo and I appreciated its interface. Then in XOOPS I rubbed my eyes and thought I was dreaming...

btw: This post does not mean "Joomla! is better than XOOPS", but it means "look over the edge and, if it's useful, learn from others"

Maybe it's not necessary to have a "fully customizable" interface or a changeable theme (like for the frontend). But some things could be done easier. You see, there are two aspects: optics and working. Will's theme seems to bring better optics. As far as I understood, it also improves a little bit the internal behaviour. What we also need (IMHO) is a better working in the admin area.

Hi, Will,

I'm glad I could help YOU I really appreciate all your input here at xoops.org...

As I often play around with modules and translate them, this problem belongs to my daily repertoire... (sigh... when will I ever learn?) So my suggestion was the first idea that came into my mind when I read your post. I had looked over the code but couldn't find any unclosed table tag.

I very often thought about changing this admin theme, and one of my aims was to take the mexican one (EXM, I think) one day.

Hi, Will,

this looks great so far

I had the same problem from time to time without having manipulated the admin php files. The problem was a renamed xoops_version.php (.txt for peaking into it...) of an uninstalled module.

Does everything look alright with the standard theme?

Hi, jeffgr,

thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I think it's not a bad idea at all to look at other CMS like Mambo/Joomla, Drupal and so on. Of course they all somehow work the same way -- MySQL, PHP, Smarty, some code here, some code there... But it's worth to see the differences as well as "how do they do this?". E.g. in Mambo I had the possibibilty to publish an article for a registered group, but have the public see the first page. They had to register if they wanted to read more. I could decide this for each article. I was very happy about this feature, because I could make useres curious and "push" them to register (or, in other words: they saw it was worthful to register. I hate thos "please register first" pages, and you don't see more content afterwards, because there isn't any...). It was very tricky to realize this somehow in XOOPS, and not every news module can do this.

There are functions and modules for other CMS which would also be fine to have with XOOPS. Why not take a look at "how do they do this" or even try to make them fit to XOOPS?

I'm not saying "this or that CMS are better than XOOPS". But we're not on a CMS war. It's a competition, and we can learn from each other.

btw: I'm very impressed by the XOOPS communities all over the world. I rarely seldom saw comments like "if you want this joomla function, then go to joomla and use it. Bye!" or sth like that. Very polite, helpful and open to new thoughts. Thank you all

you might try the themes delivered with XOOPS (deault, phpkaox and x2t). There are lots of themes out there, and the forum will change it's look accordingly.

AFAIK there's no documentation for cbb. I'm working on some workshops (kinda documentation), but they will be in German and I don't know when they will be ready. Though I know it's necessary, because the cbb can be tricky to administer (esp. setting up the rights correctly).

The theme used by this site is called "xooriginalnew" and was created only for xoops.org site. AFAIK it can't be downloaded.

Hi,

the newbbex forum module doesn't support file attachments.

There'a another forum module (alpha status) by GIJOE, but this also doesn't support file attachment.

As many users need this feature for adding pics, files oder other files, check whether you or your users need this or not. If you need file attachment, take the cbb 3.08 module.

Hi,

if you want to know which modules are used, just point to the menu items and have a look at the browser's status bar. E.g. "Support Forums" shows "xoopsurl/modules/newbb/". The information right after "modules/" is the name of the module, which in the example is "newbb". Now go to download section here or any other XOOPS site and download and install this module. Nevertheless it's not always the same because they might use a different version of that module...

Hi,

did you check the Arab XOOPS Site??

Not a module, and not free, but maybe this script could do the job: http://www.tufat.com/s_flash_chat_chatroom.htm
