Hi,

Been using News module to display news, articles...
But there is one major limitation: one article can be assigned just to 1 topic

Is there a module, where 1 article can be assigned to MANY topics, even if they are sub-topics one of another?

for example:

Topics:
-Microsoft
--Windows
---Year 2005
-Linux
--RedHat
-Security
--Threats

Can "Article 1" be assigned to "Microsoft" AND "Year 2005" AND "Threats"

...sorry, if reapeating, but haven't used other module than "News" for ages...

The more positive influence is made, that news module is shown differently to search engine spider - providing the links from the any news page (with the some amount of articles shown) to ALL the news pages. I don't remember in exact words, but it was written by developer.

In practice if I put the same text in wf-channel (the most cool simple module I've found) and in news the difference in positioning is terrible. The text from News is in top 20, while from WFchannel is merely in top 200. Of course it is not made only by this feature but of all of them. Anyway, on some XOOPS pages with the older News versions I've developed, the difference between static (Wf-channel, tinycontent, cj-content...) and news pages was not so significant.

One more thing I definitely want to recomend to all xoopsers: the better positioning is achieved by using optimized modules AND optimised templates AND themes (!!!)

I hope I'll have anough time and enthusiasm to release short guide to optimize default XOOPS template set.

thanx for an answer

I think I'll stick with 1.3, because the up- or down-grading takes too much time
On the front end it works fine, but... I've spotted that the feature of 1.31 to trick search engine spiders is making influence to page positions!!! I hope that with the down-graded module I won't drop a lot :)

Hi folks,

I've had installed on my site News 1.31, but last week saw that here is new "definitive" version of News module with the version number 1.3. So, I thought it is an upgrade, but after I have made an install some of the features, like article keywords disapeared :(

Is it trully the last version in repository?????

What is the purpose to put the older version instead of new one? The 1.31 i used before was more or less stable and now I am getting some strange errors :/

Some explanation?

not familair much with Drupal - but waht is "taxonomy' ???

Dear core devs,

One of the most cool ideas using XOOPS is to distinct content with blocks and choose to show them or not in different modules.
Once in forums I have spotted the idea to organize content not by modules, but by user creatable CONTENT SUBJECT.

Now it is:

I have block called: MYBLOCK
Select it to show in: NEWS, NEWBB, TOP PAGE
Not to show in: WF-CHANNEL, LIAISE, XGAL etc...

New feature:

I have block called: MYBLOCK
Select it to show in: NEWS, NEWBB, TOP PAGE
Not to show in: WF-CHANNEL, LIAISE, XGAL etc...

AND

THE BLOCK IS ASSIGNED TO ONE OR MORE CONTENT SUBJECTS!!!
I have content subject: LINUX, WINDOWS, XOOPS etc...
I choose to show this block in: LINUX, WINDOWS
NOT to show in: XOOPS, etc...

Now it is:

I have news topic: SOFTWARE
I have downloads section: SOFTWARE
I have gallery album: software

Problem:
I cant simply connect them between to organize contextual browsing

New feature:

THE MODULE ELEMENT IS ASSIGNED TO ONE OR MORE CONTENT SUBJECTS!!!
I have news topic: SOFTWARE
I have downloads section: SOFTWARE
I have gallery album: software

Solved problem:
Can organize the presentation of content by ordering page elements (blocks, module articles/items) according to the CONTENT SUBJECT

As I understand, the biggest issue is all the modules need to be rewritten, but for the very beginning all the content of modules could have the CONTENT SUBJECT "N/A" or "not specified" or "All"

Huge benefit:
1. Distinctive block, content ordering by modules AND topics!!!
2. Assign entire content lines: news, pictures, downloads to a topic!!!
3. Leave Mambo/e107/*nuke/phpwcms faaaaaaaaaaaaaar behind :)))


What do You think?

p.s. sorry for English*/

On fresh install of 2.1.1 and when trying to change ANY info in modules/system/admin.php?fct=preferences&op=showmod&mod=1&confcat_id=1
(Preferences Main »» General Settings) am getting blank page.
When trying to refresh this blank page getting "No valid security token"

The same and more problems when upgrading from 2.0.10

Can't even turn PHP Debug mode on :(

Apache version : Apache/2.0.50 (Win32)
PHP version : 5.0.3
MySQL version : 4.1.8-nt-log - extension : mysqli

everything with more or less default settings


what I am missing?

Hi,

I was tryin to change Liaise and Edito modules name's, but unsuccessfully :(

What I do:
1. Change module directory name
2. change $modversion['dirname'] into the same name
3. install module

And getting blank admin pages :((((

I've seen this is possible with Liaise, but how it is done?
An hard-coded source code?

THANX!!!

it's workin' great!

thanx, will check that
