I guess I found it...
open /include/xoops.js and /include/xoopsjs.php, find the line var maxchars = 65535; in both and replace with a higher value.

WIKINDX?

Not exactly what you want, but take a look athttp://bibliophile.sourceforge.net/
I hope you can find someone to adapt one of those tools to XOOPS, that'd be great

Great idea, xiaoca! Classy and much easier to adapt too

hw888: you'd only have to change the line <{if $site.weight is div by 3}> to "div by 2" and it'd be like you wanted.

Man, I hate when I lose a long post... I've learned to avoid session time-outs but a browser crash hit me

Anyway, here's what's important:

Check the wiki
Access you MySQL DB (using phpMyAdmin probably) and change the field type of post_text in the bb_posts_text table from TEXT to MEDIUMTEXT
No other change required as far as I could find, please test it and report back
Could create a security problem because MEDIUMTEXT allows 16MB of storage, so a hardcoded limit like the one Dave suggested (see the wiki) would be good, but I don't have time to try to make it... hopefully someone can help.

Free HTML compressors, here too. Good luck!

Hi asche, I got your PM.
First, blank lines appear because XOOPS converts new lines in code to new lines in HTML (<br> tags), so to avoid that you'd have to put all your HTML in a single line... but there are online tools to do that for you, try html compress at Google or let us know if you need help with one.

Regarding the 65kb limit, I'll try to find where it comes from

PS: you can change your long links above to a (url=yourlinkhere)text(/url) format, using [ and ] instead of ( and )

Quote:Agreed, and I also think this should be a block (from users module): easier to tweak and set access permissions. User profiles are a critical area to improve and core developers already know that, so expect some good news related to that in a hopefully near future

Theme Forge would be great, but the contest might be just the right thing to build critical mass before trying to split efforts into another Forge

Regarding judges, I'd like to suggest that we try to contact high profile people. You know that "manager mantra" , aim at the moon and everything (even a "no, I can't take part in it but as a quick advice" would be great ). So I'd like to suggest some names already (that come to my mind in no particular order, far from complete, etc.):

Eric Meyer: if you know CSS, you know him. If you like advanced WWW topics, you know him (exploring his site is strongly recommended)

Dan Edwards: check his stuff and you be amazed

Jesse Ruderman: Another guy that you have to know if you work with browsers, he eats Javascript, CSS and UI stuff in breakfast

Anne van Kesteren: Lots of HTML, CSS, and advanced usability topícs. I disagree with ([size=xx-small]is this the right preposition?[/size]) many things he says, but I'd nominate him as an "anything-IT" judge anyday.

Peter-Paul Koch: The guy behind QuirksMode.org. If you deal with CMSs and don't know that site yet, you should be really worried

Ian Lloyd and the Accessify crew: Even though accessibility isn't the main Theme issue, these guys could make great contributions. I'm ashamed because I only got to know Accessify.com very recently, it's impressive.

Arvid Axelsson: great graphical skills

Everaldo Coelho: Of Crystal fame, great designer, very OSS friendly.

Dave Shea The guy behing the CSS Zen Garden, has lots of experience in this area

So... uh, there a hundred other people I should mention, perhaps we could go with lots of judges whose vote equals more points than those of non-judges and we invite the judges but also let those interested and able to prove their related skills to jump in?

Also, the contest can be exaustive (each judge has to see every theme submitted) or more heuristic (1st popular then combined vote, people vote in how many entries they want or whatever), what do you think would be better?

You can try this

Good luck!

Following the one input, any output idea... how about having complex Content Objects that have many default variables and methods and can be rendered (and/or extended) by different modules? Things like Link(s), News item(s), Poll(s), FAQ(s), Block(s), etc could be rendered by the CMS from the original complex object. I know that this sounds too complex, but it would allow objects to represent logical entities of content, so that a contest would be an object with polls, calendars and forum, a given subject would be represented an object with links, some articles and frequent news, while another subject would be a poor object with a news item only.

Then you could have Object Versioning (logical, structural?), Content Versioning (data) and/or Output Versioning (interface?).

Thinking along today's limits, it would be like having a News item that can have Version Control but also be cloned and extented into a News item with Poll or downgraded to a Calendar Entry.

Another very interesting way to follow would be adding a R (for Relation) to CMS, so that keeping the current core/module OO system an universal object (content+functions?) API could be developed to allow module interoperability: News can pull Links (and visit_count++), FAQs can pull related Forum entries, Articles can present its archive using Calendar... all these can be done today, but there aren't even module APIs, so anything that relies on 3rd parties will eventually fail. It'd be possible to have "a dinamic page about X" with Links, News, Forum threads, Pics, Events and whatever by asking that each module only show it's entries (objects) that have Category OR Title OR KeyWord matching X (or its offspring)

edit: Sorry, I should learn to think before posting... or at least reading on MVC

edit again: the R could also allow richer links between objects, like parent or similar... or even provider and user (for interfaces).
