Well, I am searching all of my favorite script dumps for a .php script that will work. If I do I am going to attempt to make a module out of it if I get time.

In that case it will be January before I can do it... Even then only if I can finish my current contract by the deadline. But if I do, I will. I don't have any money at the moment, but I think a module like that would be great for xoops.

So.... no-one else wants a module like this? IS there a module with this functionality hiding out there somewhere? PLEASE tell me XOOPS wizards, please. Is this possible?

There is a way to do it. Basically you have to change the values throughout the whole module though. Especially the MySQL table names. An example:

mylinks

folder SQL

BEFORE you install it a second time you would change all queries:

LIKE THIS:

CREATE TABLE mylinks_links (
lid int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
cid int(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
title varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
url varchar(250) NOT NULL default '',
logourl varchar(60) NOT NULL default '',
submitter int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
status tinyint(2) NOT NULL default '0',
date int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
hits int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
rating double(6,4) NOT NULL default '0.0000',
votes int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
comments int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (lid),
KEY cid (cid),
KEY status (status),
KEY title (title(40))
) TYPE=MyISAM;

TO:

CREATE TABLE mylinks_links2 (
lid int(11) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
cid int(5) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
title varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
url varchar(250) NOT NULL default '',
logourl varchar(60) NOT NULL default '',
submitter int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
status tinyint(2) NOT NULL default '0',
date int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
hits int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
rating double(6,4) NOT NULL default '0.0000',
votes int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
comments int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (lid),
KEY cid (cid),
KEY status (status),
KEY title (title(40))
) TYPE=MyISAM;

Then you would need to update all files like includes/functions.php to reflect these changes as well. THEN install the module. You just want to make sure all of the table names are different and no part of the module is still trying to use the tables from the original module or else you will have problems.

How about a module to allow site members to organize local meetup groups like meetup.com? The creators would be able to send out newsletters and each group would have it's own simple message board and event calendar function. Meetup.com is charging people 12-17.00 per month for this service, and I'd like to be able to offer it to my free site members for free.

Also, like jensclas said, check out Smart Factory. I LOVE their modules.

Have you tried the news 1.50 module? I haven't tested it yet, but it might work.http://dev.xoops.org/modules/xfmod/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1008&release_id=683&dl=2925

https://xoops.org/modules/repository/visit.php?cid=43&lid=1343

That's the module you need.

You can use the theme changer module. It's kinda tricky... I had to rename my custom theme "default" and then set the theme included with the module as the default in the admin area.... Then it works.

Then you can assign modules different themes and even custom meta tags and page titles. You can also clone your default a few times, rename it, assign each module it's own version, and then have different javascripts, style sheets and stuff by editing the theme.html file for each module's theme.

It looks pretty balanced to me.
