First of all I love Xoops. You are all cool..
I need some help advice. I've just received a request to produce a site for a large company of photographers. They have about 50 - 60 photographers and I can fulfill all their feature requests in Xoops. However there is one part of the site I'm not sure about. This is what they need

This seems like a tough one + expensive - They will pay and I don't want to lose the job because I can't add this functionality to the site.
Any ideas or suggestion or just a rough idea how much this would cost.
Kindest

to all lovely Xoopsters

The database would be an area where each franchisee would enter details on customers (address, phone numbers, etc.) plus a one to many relationship with “contracts” – whether these be Weddings, Portraits or Events. Depending on the type of contract different information would be held – for weddings you would have things like package selection, venues, home visit address, album selection, reprints, status, etc, while for a portrait it would be less information. Then against each contract they would need the facility to enter income and expenses. Ideally, there would be some pre-defined triggers that would remind the franchisee to perform an action. An example would be on a wedding where a deposit is paid on the booking (status change to booked) and 50% of the balance is payable 3 months before the wedding with the remainder payable one month before (I think that’s right). The system would perform a daily check on what balances need invoicing and send an e-mail to the franchisee reminding them to action it. There would also be various reports, both at a franchisee and a head office level. If there is a way to produce some of the reports as downloadable csv files, then so much the better.

I'm more than willing to pay. The thread seemed to suggest that it wouldn't be released because of licencing issues. I WANT TO PAY.
Some modules are so useful and can be used to make site owners cash that it is only fair that the developer gets paid.

I've spent months, studying Google. If you have no advertising budget it is the best way to generate traffic to a commercial site. + Google is one of the few search engines that will index a XOOPS site properly. The only problem with XOOPS is that ideally every page should have a different page title. (try some of the hacks to do this)
Posting on forums related to your service (always including your URL in the signature) is also a good trick to improve your pagerank.

Don't forget to exchange links with similar sites.
Spend 15 mins everyday finding a site that is somehow related to your product (preferably in the top twenty for that Keyword, with a high page rank)
and ask the owner to exchange links.
Google loves sites in constant development, and because it wants to be the most up to date search engine will revisit constantly updated sites everyday if necessary. You should mention your product as often as possible on the homepage and change this text slightly every week. To get indexed quickly find a site that is being indexed everyday and ask if you can have a temporary link on the homepage. The googlebot will follow the link and index your site that day. A site that is being crawled everyday has the date next to its listing.
Don't set your links page to 'open in frame' as a webmaster that knows what he is doing will not exchange links with you.
Concentrate on Google - you must be page one to get any decent traffic.
But once you are there, don't rest - there will always be people trying to get above you. Look at sites in the top ten for your keywords, and note how they have structured their text. Remember, writing for a search engine is not the same as writing for a human.
NB: Google is currently displaying a 'Sandbox effect' where new sites appear in its index and then disappear for up to three months.

I had a similar problem with my Google ads and I even e-mailed Google about it and someone checked out my pages. Google didn't really seem to know. They said it might have been because their crawler, which decides which ads to dispay wasn't able to pick up on the text. Their advice was to ad more relevant text to the page ( in effect encouraging me to Spam the page with Keywords)
They seemed a bit unsure. The problem has now gone away on my site. I thing the Google system is still in development. Have you tried selecting the option. ' Ads are displayed on a framed page ' -. I am getting much more accurate ads using this option.
I think the Google system is flawed. You should just have the option of choosing the kind of Ads you want, like the Amazon affiliates system.

I had the same problem with 7dana themes.
All the themes I downloaded refused to work.
I was downloading them with safari on Mac OSX
when I switched to downloading them with Internet Explorer
they all worked.
I have no explanation for this.
