Emailed news is currently not handled by a template (since it doesn't use the PHP internal mailer). Instead, you will find the assignment $mail_link in your news article template. It refers to line 115 of modules/news/article.php. This will allow you do directly modify the link generated with the "email this story" image.

If you are looking to modify the message sent, this is a langauge setting, found in modules/news/language/____/main.php (Lines 36-38 in english). You are looking for the constants _NW_INTARTICLE and _NW_INTARTFOUND.

Hope this helps, and good luck!
Always remember to make backups of your files you will be changing. You know, just in case.

One thing I have done is built a page entirely in an IDE such as Dreamweaver, and then extract the piece I need for my template. From there, I can reinsert the smarty tags I need, but it insures tables and stylesheet assignments will be doing exactly what I need them to.

Here is an example:
Kaizoku-Fansubs Web Forum

The template for each posting was extracted from the HTML, placed into dreamweaver, and the sections that were Smarty Tags were identified. It was then just a matter of modifying the template and reinserting the code back into Xoops.

I hope this helps!

Hello,

My name is Jakob, and I am a senior at California State University, Monterey Bay. I hae began the epic task of a Senior project, and I have opted to do a project manager application. NetProject was originally going to be a standalone application until my advisor and I discussed the prospect of using an existing user management system. After looking through many variations of Nuke and Post-Nuke, we settled on XOOPS as the portal platform of choice. We saw a lot of potential in the platform and wanted to see what we could do.

NetProject is going to be a basic groupware module that integrates in (blocks, admin, etc). I've been studying documentation for a while now, especially the forum posts and Wiki information regarding module development. The project's completion date is 4/23, although I plan to continue development of the module well past the deadline. Here are the features to date in the project:

Group (or Groups) as project managers
- create projects, assign users to their projects
- basic timeline oritented view (Gantt Chart if time)
- Notifications for deadlines via PM, email, etc
- blocks for project view (at a glance), quick access to current projects, next deadline, etc
- projects public (all users can see them) or private (only project team can see it)

I am also open to any additional ideas that would be cool or great additions. I am shooting for the above list as far as the April deadline since this is the first time doing a major project using PHP classes and learning XOOPS as well as module development. Anyway, thank you for developing such a good platform, and the community here is awesome. A bit of time drilling through the forums can help answer many of the common questions.
