keeping a community which support XOOPS in Italy, of more than 5000 users, and actvely working in XOOPS code evolution (as far as I can).. so I think at the moment I'm just volunteering enough

@ghia
in the normal XOOPS use that template is used just once... where did you saw it?
things just change if you use the clone feature in XOOPS 2.3.x or if you're using the multimenu blocks which repeat this ID in any default menù block.. as you just said in most cases it's just a problem of module developing.

Ian

I totally agree with ghia..
every site should conform to those universal standard and hopefully every browser should respect them...
the whole web is full of sites showing the w3c compliance icon as a flag of quality... but being validated by w3c don't make a site a good site .

Actually, except some minor details, ALL the xhtml and css generated by XOOPS is valid. More communication efforts should be taken to inform theme developers but above all module developers about standard markups for XOOPS and general lines for xtml+css compliance.
I suggest also, that more clear and rigid rules should be created in order to generate a kind of 'offical repository' containing only modules and themes that have w3c compliance, css templates (or clean table templates), accessibility features, adeguate compliance with XOOPS standards and Smarty.
that way developers will find their way to develop honest code, wich personally I prefer to cool graphics using non-standard or very messed code.

Ian

it's just a language define...
search for the text string you're searching in the file of these folders folders:
- /language/yourlanguage
- modules/system/language/yourlanguage

Ian

if the problem stays in xoops.css.. it should have been fixed before the 2.3.1 announcement as just suggested earlier..

happy your problem is solved

IAn

you should add

to your style.css for the ids 'usermenu a' and 'mainmenu a'

Ian

first a question.. does it happen with the default XOOPS theme? and more.. can you peovide a screenshot of how things are messed up?
I suspect is a css problem

Ian

phpkaox is really an old an not compliant theme..
anyway if you open the theme.html file you'll see plenty of <td> tag with the align="center" attribute.. so it should be enough to remove this attribute from the parent td of the center blocks..

concerning the strange symbol it's probably caused by an unparsed character you have before block titles.. did you hack this part? remember that 2.3 change the charset to utf-8.. so there's a chance to have non recognized character..

Ian

yes mamba,the 2.3 editor it's very good!
I'm actually deeply testing 2.3... the extended editor is great and in a few I'll release a little tutorial about how use the 2.3 powerful editor in 2.0.x installations.

Ian

well I've finally find the solution.
The basic dhtmlext.ph file need some hack to work,
I've made a small tutorial at this link

Ian

This small hack is for using the useful extended dhtml editor as the defautl editor, instead of the normal one which is not very usable and for example don't let you select and then change the code on the fly.

It was not so easy to find the way but in the end, thanx to the big help of Lucio Rota (Thanx man!) I finally made it.

- First step
Download and install last official XoopsEditor class (version 1.21)
Download and install last official Frameworks pack (version 1.22)

Backup the original copies of following files:
/class/xoopseditor/dhtmlext/dxhtmlext.php
/class/xoopsform/formdhtmltextarea.php

- Second step
Open the file /class/xoopsform/formdhtmltextarea.php
Around line 74 change:

with:


This is for telling XOOPS to use that class for the textarea editing

- Third step
Open /class/xoopseditor/dhtmlext/dxhtmlext.php
Around line 37 you have to change this line:
with this one:


This is for avoiding a server error probabyl caused by a php5 bug... thanx Lucio..

- Fourth step
Open /class/xoopseditor/dhtmlext/dxhtmlext.php
Immediatly after this line:
+
add the following code:

and uncomment this line:

final result should be:


This hack is for having language properly displayed and special buttons as flash or youtube
(don't forget that you need to put your language file in class/xoopseditor/dhtmlext/languages/ if you want the buttons translated)

This should do the trick.
I've tested this on local and remote server whit XOOPS 2.0.18.1 installation with no errors.
Hope this will work for you
