I'm a little confused. After downloading and reading through the documentation for CSLive, I don't understand why it would have to be integrated. It seems that you only have to create a "Department" and then click on HTML code. Add that HTML code to a custom block in the blocks admin page, and you should be all set to go.

What specifically are you trying to achieve by the integration? To prevent a second login and URL for the administrators:? For the users it doesn't seem like there would be a problem... just the administrators...

I think that there are a lot of people interested in this type of functionality.

One possible solution that I'm interested in pursuing is using XoopsForge (Novell Forge). The link takes you to a sub-community site for SUSE (linux).

Of course SourceForge/XoopsForge was built for the code-development communities, but the basis is there for expanding the concept.

My dream community site (which hopefully XOOPS can evolve into! :) would be something like this:

1) Ability to host multiple communities with a single user login capability. (OR maybe someone who knows SOAP really well could build a permission-based service for XOOPS kind of like Microsoft's Passport service. Now THAT would be cool. You could apply for permission to join a site either for the site only or using a XoopsPass ID!)
2) Would include a bulletin board site that is integrated with mail like Yahoo Groups. Novell Forge uses MailMan which as a crappy interface... not very user friendly. And besides, I'd like to see an integrated module!
3) A decent calendaring program that can allow public/private/group access to items based on categories. Must also have ability to import and export ics. In addition, it must have a location field, a contact name and address field, FUNCTIONAL recurring events, AND a decent reminder feature. Ideally with customizable reminders.
4) A decent integrated newsletter management system (to email users a custom HTML email that is archived... should be separate from the news and bulletin board modules). Should be fairry simple to do, but currently seems to be eluding the XOOPS community as a whole.

I guess if a community site could do all of these things, only THEN will I need to start considering other requirements!

This can occasionally happen when you are using an email account that appears to be non-user account or generated via phpmail or other non-email account service (keep in mind that the headers of an email note the name of the service/program that generated the email).

Is your email address something like support@, webmaster@ or admin@ yoursite.com? These will often get dumped into the bulk mail bin.

There are several solutions. One, of course, is to have your users use a REAL email address!

I, personally, would put a warning up on the site that tells people about the problem (trust me, most are ALREADY aware of the issue) and tell them to check their bulk mail folders.

Best of luck! Would love to hear if you end up working this one out!

Have you been able to solve your problem? I'm often surprised at how people treat novices on these boards.

To be more helpful, you can download the phpMyAdmin module or the eskuel module. The eskuel module has a much friendlier interface for the novice database user, in my opinion.

In eSKUel:
1) Click on the link on the left under the globe eSKUel. It should be the name of the database you have XOOPS installed in. (Well, it WILL be... it's the only database you can edit from within one of these modules.)
2) This will expand the list. In the center column you will see a long list of the tables.
3) Put a checkbox next to the name of the table you want to delete.
4) Scroll all the way down to the BOTTOM of the list. There are some actions hyperlinked there. The SQL term for deleting a database is "DROP", so click on the "Drop the tables" link.
5) eSKUel will come back with a typical "Are you sure you want to delete this" dialog. It will tell you the name of the table(s) and the number of table(s) you are about to drop/delete. Make sure that you are ONLY deleting the one table that you mean to delete.

It should go without saying that you should be VERY careful using these tools if you are new to databases. These tables drive a large part of your website. It is definitely an area that you don't want to play around in. You should learn what the database looks like. I believe it's helpful to understand what the database is doing on the back-end... but again, I must stress that you must be very, very careful!

Thanks!

A quick and dirty way to do this is to edit the xoops_version.php for the TinyContent module. (Make sure that you save a copy of the original! Also make a backup of the version you are making as well. Any changes will be lost when you upgrade/update.)

The format goes like this (from the news module)

Note that it's fairly simple. The first sub line, the "name" is what appears in the menu. The second line, the "url", is the link.

Good luck!

Did you make the customization for your USER setting (through edit profile) or for the SYSTEM setting (through Administration > System Admin > Preferences > General Settings). In the system setting you should be able to set the location of your server and a default user setting.

For example, my servers are mostly in New York (as I have determined through trial and error, even though my host is in California), and I am in Washington state. I have the server timezone set to GMT -5 and my default timezone to GMT -8. The default timezone is automatically the default for new users to your site unless they change it through their own user settings. BUT it's critical that the server timezone be set properly for any time to appear correctly on your site.

Does this help, or is this how you already have it set up?

I have started using the XOOPS weBlog module. It's GREAT! I highly recommend it. Especially when you also install the supplementary weBlogRPC module. I can't find the link to the RPC module right now ... but when it's installed, and you follow the directions, you can blog using the w.bloggar tool. It's fantastic! There are a few bugs (I'm having trouble with weBlog picking up the category selected in w.bloggar), but overall it's worth the download!

Haven't seen the problem before. What is the EXACT URL that is posted in the "Click URL" field for this banner? You probably have some kind of error (typo/something) in that field.

This concept is covered in two separate ways in this XOOPS Wiki post. (One is your way with the single database, the other is a bit more complicated, I think.) Keep in mind that a single database could create problems if you want to keep your content entirely separate.

I hope the Wiki file helps! :)

It works fine for me on my various sites. Could you possibly post a link to your site, or send it to my by PM? It should be relatively simple to fix.

Thanks!
