Thanks!

Yes, I looked at catads, and was put off by the dating system.
If you don't want to aprove ads, you need to set the dates a day earlier than it actually is. I find that a bit confusing for people..
Also, the viewed ads counting, how many people viewed as ad, seems to work and not work at times..

So I thought, since myads seems to have only the one bug, maybe it will be better...

As for line 273 -

It is an }

This is a part of the following:

while($x!=-1) {
$subcats .= " » <a href=\"index.php?pa=view&cid=".$varid[$x]."\">".$varnom[$x]."</a>";
$x=$x-1;
} --->> LINE 273

I thought that maybe a } is missing - but that wasn't good either..

Many thanks for any ideas..

Bump.... Anyone.. Please..?

Hi,

Am using:

PHP version 4.3.11

Xoops version 2.0.13.1

and

MyAds version 2.06

When attempting to add a new advertisment - without debug mode on - I get a blank page.

Doing the same with debug mode on - I get a page full of errors.

Has anyone encountered that before? (I couldn't find information about it..)

Following is the page I get ->

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/oth3r/public_html/test/modules/myAds/include/functions.php on line 273

Any ideas how to fix this?

If none - does anyone know which XOOPS verion and MyAds version actually work together well...?

Many thanks!

Aharon

A possibly useful information in the preparation for re-design, might be to find our whether or not there's a browsing path most visitors have.
This can help in placing certain informed emphasises in the theme..

Best wishes,

Aharon

One point that I didn't see mentioned here is about accessibility. Maybe, any theme, should have the possibility to change font size...

Accessibility aside, I would like to suggest 2 possible visual approaches:

1 - Simplicity and images. Something that combines simplicity such as plone.org theme, with visuals of a gallery.

..and my preferred choice:

2 - JMorris and Biteronboard (on the [content] The framework thread) suggest that we might be more flexible and let users change themes as they might wish.
I think this is a very interesting approach because it will add interest in XOOPS as a whole by making use of it's visual design capabilities. It will show visitors in a very intuitive way, how flexible themes can be.
More over, we could have something like "theme of the month" competitions, winners will get to be the 1st theme users see as they come to the site. I think this will envigurate activity and excitiment about xoops... (...Such a solution might also save this re-design project from the possibility of being cluttered by a long process of consentual choice of one particular theme...)

Best wishes,

Aharon

I think the content and documentation suggestions, as outlined at the beginning of this thread - is pretty cool.

Minor suggestion, keep content presentation as clear as possible. For example, on the current site's 1st page, the development section contains 4 links. For a new user, this, I think, not very useful information anyway. If there was one link to the devforge site, it will feel less of a clutter.. A similar thing, I think, is in relation to the XOOPS downloads. One link to the latest verion, is clear. We could have a link on the side for older versions, and again, information is kept simple and clear..

One content feature I think is missing for people, is something that contains visual elements. There's a fair bit of text on the page as a person comes in, and placing images can make it easier on the eye. One way this might be possible, is by placing images of themes contesting for theme of the month..(?)

Personally, I'd also like to see more use of the polls module, as a way to get group decisions...

Best wishes,

Aharon

Oh copper and toothpaste...

I removed the profile module.. No disrespect, I know you guys worked hard on it and indeed it is a good module.
...Anyway.. Seems I should re-install and learn to live with it..

Thanks a lot, Dave_L. Hope you get to have some rewarding holidays..

Best wishes,

Aharon

Hi,

For some reason, XOOPS does not let people register.. Clicking on "Register now" brings "you have no permission to enter this area" message..
How come?

I looked at the user groups and the block's permissions, and everything seem permissable...

Also, I noticed that, as admin, I can not seem to add users manualy.. Where is that tool..?

Thanks a lot for any suggestions..

Best wishes!

Aharon

Ok.. I kind of managed to work out what happend..

Seems that I, like LionHeart and probably others, downloaded the 1.43 version from the module repository, thinking that was the latest version.

However, the latest version is 1.44, and is downloadable through this news item:
https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=2735

This version seems to work lovely!

Thanks, hervet..!

Hope it helps others..

Best wishes,

Aharon

Hi,

Have installed news 1.4, and it all runs lovely, thank you very much, except 1 thing.

After posting a news item, it doesn't let me edit the post. I have set my permissions as a "webmaster" in the approve, submit and view fields.
However, clicking "edit" produce a note telling me I have no permissions..

Oh.. And to make things a bit stranger, it does let me delete news items..

Any clues..? Please..

Best wishes, new year and all..

Aharon
