You can download the patched version of pnFlashgames here:
http://www.tipsmitgrips.de/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?cid=1&lid=6

From "Tips mit Grips"

This patch closes the security leak in Flashgames 1.0.1 (see securityfocus.com for details).
Just unzip the file and copy the file game.php in the main folder "flashgames"

If you get tired of trying to get pnFlashgames to work, you can always try this one:http://www.mybestarcade.com/cms_version/x_cms/xoops/flashgames.zip

It's basically a very simple module which displays www.mybestarcade.com in a center block. There are approximately 1200 games on that site and you don't have to install a single one. Unfortunately, you won't be able to record scores and there are a few google ads on the site. Ebonomi wrote the module (I think?). See:https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=61307&forum=29&post_id=275369#forumpost275369

I was using pnFlashgames but someone found out that you could inject an SQL query through the .lid files and so I had to disable it. Now I find that the developer:http://www.tipsmitgrips.de/ has patched the module. I liked pnFlashgames but I would have to manually add the games and numerous other tweaks to get it to work. Also, the games that were high score enabled weren't all that great IMO.

+1 for Mastop Publish--so easy even I could figure it out

I like the weather module. Where did you get it?
About the Constable--I had no idea Constables provided so many services

Mastop Publish

Don't forget about the vulnerability with the Spaw editor that comes packaged with Tiny Content. I just deleted Spaw editor and used another editor instead.

Happy New Year!!!

Hi
I am just a beginner in the world of XOOPS myself so I can only offer a modicum of help with your situation. But I want you to know that there are a lot of people here who are very knowledgeable and will do their best to assist you.
I hope I'm not out of line by taking the time to respond to a few of your statements.

A lot of users are still on older versions of XOOPS and have been for a long time. Give yourself some time to learn more before considering updating to the latest version. And give the more experienced users that have updated time to work with the new version and therefore discover any problems that may creep up.

The developers have decided to keep the core separate from the modules thereby facilitating easier and more frequent updates. Imagine having to rework the core code everytime a new module is developed.
The WIKI is a new development within XOOPS ORG and as such is a work in progress. But there are some great people working feverishly to make it a formidable resource here. It's a community (you and I) resource that will probably be a work in progress for some time. There are; however, numerous sites that have good documentation and links for information regarding modules and XOOPS usage which, if I'm not mistaken, are included within the WIKI in the form of links.

I am not familiar with the membros_online module but I have found that by using modules that have a good support system, ie; modules that are supported by the developer through their own sites with a forum that has a multitude of threads relating to the module, there will be fewer problems that can't be solved.

My hope is that with a little more experience and time with this CMS your rating will be more favorable. XOOPS is a learning experience and definitely not a challenge that can be conquered overnight--not in my experience--but it does everything I need it to do and that's something I couldn't get from the others.
I'm just a user like you but the nice thing about XOOPS is the fact that it is community driven and we are all here to help each other.

Thanks for taking the time to post this; your ideas are very enlightening.

This is just a thought but maybe you could go the other way and define what email accounts are valid by changing the above code snippet from include/function.php.
