Are you sure you are running 2.2.0 and have done the module update? It's strange that you don't see the same thing I see. If you want to grab the version I'm using and try it (later that 2.2.0, but no number, it's in development), you can get the zip file here:http://www.fishroom.net/xoops/agendax20040910.zip
This is not a wjue blessed/sanctioned version, so don't try to get him to support it. This is my private version with code I use and will submit to him for the next release. Basically, if it breaks stuff, you've been warned.

I "know" this one has the code to show the preferences and permissions pages, because I see it on my site.

Ahh, you're looking in the wrong place (isn't that the source of many of life's problems

).

Go to the Administration menu (where you add modules with the system icon, etc). Mouse over the Agenda-X icon and look for "global permission". That should help you get the right perms.

Also, check out the Preferences item on that mouseover as well. Lots of cool stuff there.

This sounds interesting dheltzel - could you post the code here?

I added to the Wiki page written by someone else:http://wiki.xoops.org/wakka.php?wakka=XoopsAndVirtualHosts

The example is on a RedHat Linux system with named virtual hosting in Apache, but it should be enough for a sysadmin to get a good start.

Have you set the "global permissions" in the Agenda-X admin menu to not allow actions by those groups?

If there is a bug there, where users can still submit events if not checked, let me know and I'll investigate.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what you want. It is possible to make an individual module only be accessible for a group, but not a single user. You could create a group for each user, but I don't think that's really what you want (could be a lot of modules to maintain).

Rather, you might want a single module available to all users (or all users in a larger groups, like "students") but have the content customized to each member. That is not very hard at all to do and will scale just fine to 100's of members, whereas the individual module solution will not work well at all for more than a few users.

It is a promising module, but it's not quite ready for "prime time". I would only install it on a test site for now. Also, development seem to be progressing very slowly, so I doubt a stable version will be ready for some time.

In the mean time, I'd encourage you to pick a simple module and study the code a bit, then read the docs on creating a new module, it's not really that hard to do.

To answer your question; no it is not currently possible to have a block with one position on one page and another position on another page.

Mith,
What would happen if you set a block to only show in a certain module, then manually "cloned" the records related to that block in the newblocks and block_module_link tables, but make the needed adjustments to show the block in a differnt module and a different position?

I realize that from a "user support" position, it is easier to just say you can't do that, but it seems like it would work, just not from the admin interface.

Maybe I'll try it and report back later

Can you try turning on PHP debugging in the general preferences menu?
I have never encountered this behavior, if you get any PHP errors, please post them here or send them via PM. Then I can tell you more about what might be happening.

Hi,

Thanks Dennis, do you know if there are any websites I can visit to see the module in action please.

Peter

This is a site I maintain and it usually features my latest stable code, since I'm writing my Agenda-X mods specifically for this site.

Agenda-X example

This site uses 3 blocks from Agenda-X:

1) Center top (Next DCAS Meeting) - show the next event in category "DCAS" with all the details

2) Right top (2004-2005 Meetings) - all the events in category "DCAS" for the next 365 days

3) Right bottom (Other local events) - all events not in the categeory "DCAS" for the next X days

The idea here is to feature the next event in a certain category, but supply links to all events of interest in the area.

Most of the mods I've done to Agenda-X are to support this site (and several similar sites that I also maintain). I used to manually put the "featured" event in the main page each month, then replace it the next. That was a huge pain and I was often behind (ever notice that when the site is out of date is the only time you get feed back from the users?).

I know some chinese people have modded XOOPS to be compatible with PHP5... naming it XOOPS 2.0.8 ... might be worth having a search on google :)

2.0.8 was sort of released, but not really

I don't have a copy, but it is behind 2.0.7.1 in some respects, so I'm not sure you want it in any case.

I believe the issue is with the "clone" functions, if you are somewhat familiar with PHP and an editor, you should be able to rename all the occurrance of the string "clone" to something else (xoops_clone ?) and that should fix the PHP5 issues, as I understand it.

I'm surprised your ISP has switched so quickly and completely to PHP5, normally, a serious data center will provide a dual path for a time to ease the migration, particularly since there is no security-related reason to move to 5.
