Hi everyone,

(I'm just jumping into this thread, so please excuse me if I have missed earlier postings / information.)

Phppp has asked me if I would like to be a part of the Documentation team.. and I am indeed interested. I am unclear of where things are however, and so I am posting here in the hopes that someone can straighten me out as to what is going on.

I would like to contribute to the creation and organisation of the official XOOPS documention. I understand that this documentation is to end up on the final XOOPS documentation site/subdomain, which is docs.xoops.org.

I would like to know who is currently on the XOOPS documentation team, and who the team leader is.

If you have not previously expressed an interest in contributing to XOOPS documentation, please respond to this thread, to let us know that you are available. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks everyone,

jeffgr

Hi everyone,

Does anyone know if this is possible?

Ideally, I would like registered users to be able to create new user groups, and join or leave other groups at will. Kind of like a little site called Facebook... :)

Thanks,

Jeff

this is a funny thread...I started it along time ago, and now I am answering myself! :)

Check out this thread I just posted here on this topic:

Basically, in the planet module, I think it is just changing the template prefix names, changing the sql file table prefixes, changing the XOOPS version file, where it defines the module directory.

Give that a try, then upload and install module as usual. You will have to change the module image file if you want to be able to visually discern the difference between your module clones...otherwise, just hover over the module menu and look at the links...you can see which clone it is.

Hi everyone,

I made a post athttp://www.jlmzone.com about how I cloned one of his modules, the classifieds module.... it seems to work for me, and you could probably do the same thing for any other module you want to rename.

The Legend theme was just the most simple theme that I could find at the time... I think I got it from the theme directory, way back down the list.

But if you wanted to do something similar, I would use the latest version of the default theme today. What I did on the above site, was to first create an L -shaped frame design (so, a frame for the top bar, side bar, main window, and then a frameset file to contain all these frames). In the main frame, or the main content window, I think I placed an <iframe> tag, which called the XOOPS site. On the theme that I had installed on the XOOPS site, I edited the theme so that only the main column remained...i removed the two side columns (you can do this pretty easily in Dreamweaver etc.)So when you see each page of the site, you are really seeing one of the content pages that was made in the Content module (or TinyContent module, etc.).

Here's a site that I made a long time ago, that doesn't really have the standard look-and-feel of Xoops:

http://advermap.com/

(this is a framed site, with XOOPS and the Content module providing the page content)

If you don't want a site to look like Xoops, the easiest way to do this is by using the Theme Changer module, and making a different theme for each of the main sections of your site. Say you are using the default theme. You make a clone of the default theme, by renaming the module something else, and then renaming the file names as well (and I think you have to go through the code of each file in the theme, and change the name there as well...not really as hard as it sounds). So now you have a clone of your first theme. You use the Theme Changer module to set the main default theme as your home page, and the Default2 theme (the cloned theme) as the theme for another module on the site. With this second theme, you can edit the theme to remove columns, re-position the arrangement of the module and block content etc. So you end up with a theme that looks pretty much like the main, original theme, but slightly different. Do this across the site, using a different cloned theme for each module, and the site starts looking very different from a regular XOOPS site. You can use php includes files in each theme if you want to be able to update part of each theme all at once (for anything that is hard-coded into the theme).

Hope that helps someone,

Jeff

Hello,

Does anyone know how to add a link to "contact by pm (private message), on any module page that is attributed to a certain user (like, on a classified ad that they have posted?).

I know many modules have this already built in, but I want to add a "contact by pm" link on a module that does not have this....

I thought it would be as easy as adding in this smarty template code "<{$user_pmlink}>"... but that doesn't seem to be working...it is not picking up the user id.

Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated!

Thanks,

Jeff

Thank you both for your replies!

The second response solved it for me however...I just didn't understand how to do " height='100' width='100' " in php....the code you provided above worked!
