You might also want to check out the XOOPS Dev Site and more specifically the wiki which may have some assistance, although it's geared towards a module developer. However some documentation is there and there are a number of other sites with documentation information. Search using your favorite search engine or try more of the forums here.

A search on this site for this would reveal several answers in the FAQ section that may be of help (remember search is your friend):

* How to set a block underneath a module?
* Why do blocks always appear above the content of a module on its index page? Can I change this?
* How does the theme work in relation to the rest of the system?

Basically it depends on your theme design, and then the settings for which blocks appear on what pages. Just because the blocks are categorized as left, right, centerCenter, centerLeft, and centerRight doesn't mean that left blocks couldn't go right or vice versa just by a simple change in your theme file.

in the xoops_version.php file, find the line:

$modversion['hasMain'] = 1;

and change it to:

$modversion['hasMain'] = 0;

Update your module in the admin section. That should do it.

I did a search for a reviews module recently and found these:

* C-JAY Reviews Beta 1 - Based on the old myReviews module, originally a port from phpNuke. Abandoned by the author according to his forums.
* Lykos Reviews 1.00 - Was fairly simple module with not enough for my needs. Listed as Beta at the author's site
* My Reviews 2.1 RC1 - Based on the C-Jay Reviews module above (based on others).

Best I can tell, all of these have been abandoned. I tested them all on 2.0.10 and found no issues. I ended up with using myReviews 2.1 RC1 because it had the most features. C-Jay was a step back. And Lycos Reviews 1(Beta) is simple.

It's quite likely that this module, originally built for book reviews will meet your needs. I think it has all your requirements. The site I'm using it for now is for reviews of businesses.

However, if you need to make changes to the layout and other aspects, you'll have to hit the code. The problem with myReviews is that it doesn't use templates and is missing some other XOOPS conventions.

I tried to contact the author to see if they were working on a new release and if I could contribute to it. I can't figure out how to contact the author. I left a PM for the submitter m0nty, but no response as yet. Probably left it about a month ago. And the website doesn't work.

Thus, I'm actually working on upgrading this and re-releasing it using templates, permissioning and the likes. This will be my first public release module as the others I've built were for-hire projects. Not yet sure when I'll release it .

The topic and the proferred/discussed solution have nothing to do with each other. The discussion "wraps" an HTML/PHP/whatever web page with the theme of the site. That has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Can you restate the question clearly please?

it would be:



Make a file, maybe called phpinfo.php in your root directory with the above code in it. The call it from your webserver as http://yourdomain.com/phpinfo.php. Then, you'll see the information on your server (assuming it runs ok).

I love the easy ones

I use wfsections. This question was asked on the WF-Sections site in their old forums (their site has been redesigned and now you have to search their old forums and their new forums for answers because they didn't migrate all the data).

Their answer, however, removed all of the submenu items. You only want to remove the non-submission ones.

Try this: in the xoops_version.php file (line 55 in 2.0.1):


Some menu items are dynamically pulled from the database, so you have to either modify the code or remove the data from the database. However, the ones that you specify are not pulled from the database.

Hope that helps.

Based on what I know about the way XOOPS works and the way modules work and the coding of them (using XOOP_URL and the likes), I seriously doubt you can do this. However, if you just want to promote a shortcut there, you can do that and redirect to the longer URL. Is there a reason that you want it to have a shorter URL?

Alternatively, ipboard is available as a standalone and you could run it outside of XOOPS in a forums directory. But, if you're using XOOPS for other stuff, you'll have to be okay with the directory structure that XOOPS brings to the board.

If you're replace an old forum at /forums with a new one using XOOPS, then trap the old URL and forward it to the new one.

I'm going to assume you are using 2.0.X and not 2.2 because I can't answer that as it's changed quite a bit.

I must admit that the standard web page message after you register, which is:

Quote:

really isn't that confusing, especially as common a technique as it is on the web. However, you can change this message in the rootpath/language/english/user.php file. Look for the _US_YOURREGISTERED definition.

Easiest place to add info on the registration page would be to add something to the registration form as display only. This page doesn't use the usual smarty templates $xoopsTpl type of displaying. Find it at rootpath/include/registerform.php, but you'll need to learn about XOOPS forms and the likes, and this is a core file hack.

As for the No Permission, that's being called from the same user.php file. Look for the define of _US_NOPERMISS and change the message in there.

Finally, a more descriptive subject title is in order instead of "How can I....". Maybe something like "Add Header to Registration Page" or the likes. And tell people which version you are working on as each version has some changes.

A couple of ways to do this. Install and load the theme. Right click on the logo image and load it and see what size it is and where it is pulling from. Then make a logo that size and replace yours with it.

Or, open the theme file itself and see if it specifies the size of table that holds it. Or examine the code it produces by loading the theme and doing a view source in your browser and see if it specifies it there.

For instance, this XOOPS site specifies a 150x80 img in the HTML (funny thing is that the graphic is actually 148x80 so that effectively stretches it just a little). Otherwise, the table doesn't specify (nor does the stylesheets), so it will grow (or shrink) as the table grows if this one were replaced with a different size.

I haven't downloaded the subblack, although I did try the subgreen at one point. If that doesn't help let me know and I'll look it up and give you exact specifics.
