In your system preferences for XOOPS select the start up page to be the news page simple. Then in news preferences set up how many topics you would like to be shown on the page at any one time I select 5 or 10.

Do you mean how to create an actual banner or how to place and situate the banner on your site?

This has been discussed over and over and over. In the last discussion about this I remember Herko saying that this may be introduced in the next version of XOOPS that they are working on. At the moment it’s not available as far as I know if you do find it make it public as there is a few who want this option.

I think that all the browsers are excellent they are all different slightly at viewing websites in there own way. That is why I have them all on my computer reason being when I create a theme I like to be able to see what its going to come across like to the viewer when visiting my webpage.

All these browsers do the same thing……… makes me wonder sometimes will the whole world of webpage’s and browsers some way change in the future where we don’t use browsers anymore and new way of getting information on the internet.

Variety is the spice of life

Strange problem that one first ive heard. Try deleting all your uploaded XOOPS files and try uploading them again and going through the install you may have missed uploading a file. Also have you downloaded and uploaded the latest version of xoops? My best bet is start again.

Check you recent downloads then scan your computer for a VIRUS

I would have to agree with Mario this would be fantastic a patch or future upgrade to be able to customize these fields.

Have you tried contacting the webmaster of that particular site?

Xoops is better

If you are running an Apache Web server on a DSL or faster link, you can become a hosting provider for other people. You can even host their domains, without needing an IP for each domain. This is called virtual hosting, and you'd be surprised at how easy it is. Remember, some access providers have rules against running hosting services, check your hosting agreement for more information.

Register a Domain
The first thing that needs to happen is you need to register a domain at Internic or Register.com. Follow the instructions at these sites (links on the right), to register your new domain. If you're creating this for a customer, you can have them register the domain or you can do it yourself.

Domain Name Service
This is probably the hardest part. If you don't host your own DNS, you'll need to contact your hosting provider to have the new domain added to the DNS server. If you're hosting your own DNS this consists of:

edit Bind or NameD or DNS to add the new domain name
point it to the IP of your virtual hosting server
restart your DNS service
Apache Configuration
Once you have the DNS pointing to your virtual domain server, you need to tell your Web server where to find the Web files for the domain. The way Apache works, if you have set up virtual domains, the first domain entered is the default. This is the directory that will be displayed when a virtual domain is not listed in the configuration. (In other words, if the DNS entry made above sends the URL to your IP, but you don't have the virtual host in your httpd.conf file.)

An Example
You have bought the domain www.adogslife.com and you want to host it at the hosting service with the IP 10.1.1.1 (which you also own).

DNS is set up to point to that IP.

Now you must edit your Apache httpd.conf file:

Go to the section of the httpd.conf file on Virtual hosting (sometimes it's in srm.conf)
Make sure that the NameVirtualHost points to your IP:NameVirtualHost 10.1.1.1
The first virtual host entry should be your default domain:
<VirtualHost 10.1.1.1>
ServerName www.defaultdomain.com
DocumentRoot /www/domain
</VirtualHost>
Then list the new domain, with any options you'd like to add:
<VirtualHost 10.1.1.1>
ServerName www.adogslife.com
DocumentRoot /www/dogslife
ErrorLog logs/adogslife.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/adogslife.com-access_log
</VirtualHost>
Note, I added two lines to the second virtual host. These allow you to separate out the Error and Transfer logs for the new domain from your default domain. If you are going to host virtual domains for other people, they will almost certainly want their server logs, and this makes it easy to provide that to them as well.
