Strangely enough a friend of mine is looking for the same thing just now.

He wants to advertise holiday apartments for friends abroad etc

Say in Spain, you have a page called "Majorca"

In that page you have "members" links to sub pages i.e.

Heading: Majorca

Link to Member 1's page

Link to Member 2's page

etc

These members can edit and upload there own pages and images.

The myads module is no good for this, as it is limited, and you can only add one image as opposed to having pictures of rooms and scenery etc.

I understand rumours exist about wfsections allowing users to edit there own material in the next release, but I think there is no current way this can be done in Xoops. XOOPS is a CMS after all, perhaps a more flexible powerful ads module would do the job with something like Spaw included?

His site is at www.sunnyshores.net

The blog module is good, but difficult to adapt to this kind of structure.

Just had to second the Onsmart.net post. They are excellent. I am in UK and no noticible loss of speed. I have been with onsmart for a few months now--my site has never been down once. The control panel is out of this world..safe mode off, and all the graphice modules installed like imagemagic.. The live support solved any initial domain transfer problems right away.

Top marks from me. I also recently recommended them to a friend, who is very happy

Is their two versions of the 4images module?

I use the version by koudinshi which works fine for me in 2.05. I use the latest class and core files from the ibf 2.05 module which are compatible with 2.05. You don't need ibf, just the ibf core files

see this thread Here for install tips if you can't get yours working.

log in as admin, and then type this in your browser

http://www.yoursite.com/modules/system/admin.php?fct=groups

Then go to webmasters group and give yourself system admin rights by putting a checkmark in the boxes. This happens by clicking "update" in the webmasters group without checkmarks in the system admin rights.

When creating an article choose "No Show Article", then set up the "article link" block, say on the "side block left" using "weighting" to have this menu show first, you can call this block anything you wish. The "No show Article" allows the article links block to include the article.

There also is a recent content wfsections block you can use in a similar way

The title of the article i.e. "Faculty" will automatically appear. This is a direct link to the article. Also, if you choose "No show info", when creating or editing the article, it will just be a plain HTML page without any other info.

I have a little example on a site I am building Here

Or, create custom links in a custom block, the paths to your articles of course appear in the browser address bar.

The php part I can't help with, no a coder, but if you do a search there is hacks or modules which allow you to add or include php scripts somewhere

You can hide the wfsections link in the Main Menu by going to modules in system admin, and go to the "order" column for wfsections, and change the order to "0". You can also rename the modules here, and the new names appear in the main menu. Any block can also be renamed in blocks admin

To take out the logo in the main index page you can go to the index page manager and choose "blank" but this leaves a space where the image would be, so

Go to yousite.com/modules/wfsections/index.php

and look for
echo "<table border='0' cellspacing='1' cellpadding ='3' align = center width = 100%>";
echo "<tr><td align = center><h4>".indexmainheader()."</h4></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td align = center><h3>".sprintf($wfsConfig['indexheading'])."</h3></td></tr>";
echo "<tr><td align = center><h4>". _WFS_MAININDEX ."</h4></td></tr>";

taking out three of these lines removes all the logos and index info, but try them one at a time to see what it does i.e.

echo "<tr><td align = center><h4>".indexmainheader()."</h4></td></tr>";

this one removes the logo space, and so on

Place this in a php file in your server root:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

you can call it anything you wish i.e.

phpinfo.php

then call it from your server by typing this in your browser:

www.yoursite.com/phpinfo.php

Scroll down to "PHP Variables" and look for "Sever Document Root"

it may look something like this :

home/youraccount/public_html

sorry about the delay getting back to you, I am on a different time scale in uk.

In wfsections you first create a "section", and related sub categories if you wish--then then you create "articles" related to the category or section. (means the same thing)

Then go to "Article Management" and "Create New Article", here you add your html or whatever. A lot of it is intuitive. (more about this later)

If you have a wfsections block set up like "recent articles"--your article heading will automatically appear in the wfsection menu. "Articles" are really HTML pages

I am working on a quick introduction to wfsections, also try the wfsections site forum

I will include some documentation soon on my website forum

In wfsections remember to go to the "Path management" link, and check at the bottom of the page if relevant files and folders are writable, if they are not they will be "red"

back soon

I have include a general overview of configuring XOOPS Here

I also included a link to wfsections, which I think is a module you might need, it is the most comprehensive content module around. Wfsections comes with its own blocks and wysiwyg editor, you can also include HTML pages.

I have not used freecontent, so can't help much there, but I imagine the menu's work on a similar principle

In wfsections you first create a "section", and related sub categories if you wish--then then you create "articles" related to the category or section. (means the same thing)

Then go to "Article Management" and "Create New Article", here you add your html or whatever. A lot of it is intuitive.

If you have a wfsections block set up like "recent articles"--your article heading will automatically appear in the wfsection menu. "Articles" are really HTML pages

I am working on a quick introduction to wfsections, also try the wfsections site forum

I will include some documentation soon here and on my website forum.

In wfsections remember to go to the "Path management" link, and check at the bottom of the page if relevant files and folders are writable, if they are not they will be "red"

If you install this module I (or any other user) can guide you through setting up a category, config of wfsections, and creating a page to get you going?
