The flag was used to determine which module was listed as a core (one that was maintained by the core developer) module and not as has been suggested earlier, as a full, release or beta release.

It always struck me as funny though, as anyone could release a module with the flag = 1 and therefore would have the 'Official' status. lol

Re: Lets shrink XOOPS

One of the biggest issues is the core ability to understand the needs of the module developers in general. For example: if there was the ability to create pdf on the fly straight from the core then there wouldn't be a need for loads of modules using the same packages in their own modules over and over.

I personally would like to see the Xoops Editors removed from Xoops and only have one WYSIWYG editor and the ability to add more if the user wishes.

Also, we really do not need loads of user and admin themes, lets get defaults and use them only, again, give the user the ability to update if and when required.

Also, another issue I would like to see resolved is all the redundant code, duplicated files, classes and functions. For example, Blocks uses two different classes that more or less do the exact same thing. These could easily be merged.

To fix this, remove the last line of the table:

KEY: Search (hometext/bodytext)

And also the ',' from the line above that one ( 'KEY: uid(uid),' or you will get another error.

Basically, if you get that error again, just look for a key that matches up with the error and remove it.

Bad fix for a bad bug.

This might help as it is all the info you will need, but how you implement it, is up to you. It should be a starting point.

Code:
$XoopsTime = $GLOBAL['xoopsLogger']->dumpTime( 'XOOPS' );
$XoopsQueries = count( $GLOBAL['xoopsLogger']->queries);

'<p align="center">Page generated <span style="color:#ff0000;">$XoopsTime</span> queries - Generation time: <span style="color:#ff0000;">' . sprintf( "%.4f", $XoopsTime ) . '</span> seconds</p>' . "\n";

I added this into Zarilia/Xoosla and it requires code changes to the core files, if you email me I will update it for Xoops and send you the code.

XoopsFormCalander Design and Implementation

I would like to bring some issues with the design and implementation of the XoopsFormCalendar class. Hopefully the Xoops development team could fix or change to help module developers in the future.

1. Allow the possibility of allowing empty NULL values instead of using the date only.

For example: In the case that some modules use an expire date, the way that the calendar has been designed does not allow for this. If a user saves without any entry the calendar defaults to the current date and time.

2. Remove the 'Time' pull-down menu and activate the time option in the calendar. This would save of extra lines of code to calculate the date and time when this could be done in one line.

3. Remove the non editing part within the input text field.

Thanks

Ya know, I really wasn't asking for help, nor was I "berating" anyone or anything. I was simply sharing my experience, and suggesting that the trouble he was having was with the theme size.. This response is pretty much why I don't ask for help in here.


Yet you were quick in telling someone to dump a perfectly good module, just because there was an issue with the theme.

If you want help, I will only be to glad to give it and if you don't then that is your prerogative, but don't be too quick to hand out bad advice to people all because you had some issue and couldn't be bothered asking for help.

Can you email me your theme please?

What I will do is change the CSS/Templates to match it and see if we can get it working for you. use my profile email address and send it there.

Thanks,

John

No-go so far.. hehehe

(I really like your theme, and if it comes to a choice between using that theme, and using WF-Channel, I'd keep the theme)



If you find that the working of this simple module are over your head, maybe you could always come to the forums and ask for help and that way you might get the answers you are looking for.

As for the issues that you have with including HTML files, again, you could have submitted a bug report or came to these forums and I would have been only to glad to help find a solution for you, like I have with many countless other people over the years.

Maybe it is to easy just to berate rather, than help with people these days.
