This can't be done without hacking the XOOPS Core (not a good idea).

Another option is to refer to your XOOPS site by name and use DNS to translate the address for you.

So your XOOPS site would live on say myxoopssite.com (or xoops.mysite.com or whatever). Externally this would be defined to point to 218.x.x.x. Internally you can either add the entry to your internal DNS Server or hosts files to point to 10.x.x.x.

Hi again Jimbo.

I should have read your first post more carefully.

If you had, say, Fence Centre and then under that you had Products, Gallery, How Tos etc then it would have been a simple matter of using something like Freecontent or Tiny content.

This becomes sligtly trickier when you need to duplicate this structure for your three centres. You will not be able to use any of those two modules to have a main menu structure like :

Fence Centre
Products
Gallery
How Tos
Lawn Centre
Products
Gallery
How Tos
Feed Centre
Products
Gallery
How Tos

Having said that, One way this can be achieved is by doing your own navigation block, by hardcoding the html links as displayed above. Each link would then point to the appropriate tinycontent/freecontent/wfchannel pages.

I hope this helps in some way.

Cheers.

McNaz.

Hi Jimbo.

The closest thing I can think of that will offer what you are looking for is OSCommerce. Looking at your requirements, I don't think you need Xoops, just the standalone oscommerce package.

OSCommerce has also been made into a XOOPS module but that is not for the faint hearted and it offers no real advantage being a XOOPS module (user management, for example, is not integrated with Xoops).

Good luck in your research.

Cheers.

McNaz.

I like the theme and layout. Clean, lean, mean and efficient.

Two things I didn't like: the intro (I just don't like intros at all. I am sure a lot more people do though) and having to register to view forum posts and news items (again, my preference).

Hi Jamescne.

Thinking about it, Snake probably did the same in his code.

The difference in mine was instead of using the @ character I used the ascii equivuilant of it which is & # 64. These are strung together in one word otherwise a browser would then interpret and display it as @, which is why my submitted code looks identical Snake's.

This would fool spiders even more.

My second example sneaks in a fake email address in a comment.

Awsome hack and should definetly makes its way into the core.

even better (but only slightly):

$replacements = array("\1<a href="\2://\3" target="_blank">\2://\3</a>", "\1<a href="http://www.\2.\3" target="_blank">www.\2.\3</a>", "\1<a href="ftp://ftp.\2.\3" target="_blank">ftp.\2.\3</a>", "\1<script language="javascript">var id='\2';var host1='\3';var host2='';document.write('<a href="mailto:'+id+'@'+host1+'.'+host2+'">'+id+'@'+host1+'.'+host2+'</a>');</script>");


if you want to be

$replacements = array("\1<a href="\2://\3" target="_blank">\2://\3</a>", "\1<a href="http://www.\2.\3" target="_blank">www.\2.\3</a>", "\1<a href="ftp://ftp.\2.\3" target="_blank">ftp.\2.\3</a>", "\1<script language="javascript">var id='\2';var host1='\3';var host2='';document.write('<a href="mailto:'+id+'@'+host1+'.'+host2+'">'+id+<!-- nicetry@youidiot.com-->'@'+host1+'.'+host2+'</a>');</script>");


Please note that the @ is & # 64;

but as a creator of websites I have to face the fact that most people are browsing with IE


Sadly very true. I recently had experience in designing a XOOPS site for a client only to later find out that the majority of their visitors were running IE5.0 on Macs, which did not support Xoop's CSS based themes as much as modern day browsers.

What do you do in that situation? Do you support a much older browser technology? **** no! My advise, again, was to recommend to their users to upgrade to later browser technologies (ie Firefox in that case).

Slightly irrelevant example here as IE 6.0 is far more widesread than IE5 on the Mac. Maybe the best we can do is advise our site visitors of the benefits of IE alternatives and reasons (better security, compatibility, etc)...

I also wonder what can be done from a XOOPS or Newbb2 prospective? All these two do is generate HTML code. Pretty clean and efficient HTML code I would imagine as well (not littered with Frontpage/Office markups). How can we fix a browser, that is closed source, that doesn't know how to handle HTML properly? Surely these same users will have similar virtual memory issues in any graphically heavy website like Ebay (won't mention MSN as that is probably rigged to work perfect on IE and nothing else!), the BBC, (put your favourite graphics heavy website here)....

All I can hope for is a swift demise of IE...

IE is a piece of trash IMHO.

I'd recommend that you advise your users to switch to Firefox.
