Zyspec is the one working with Tripmon. You need to be aware that 3.0 RC1 has an issue with XOOPS 2.0.17.1 and PHP5. Zyspec helped me to fix it on my site and then asked Tripmon if he could prepare and release RC2. Tripmon gave his okay. See the following post. I shortened the url to keep from messing up the forum:

I would suggest waiting for RC2.

Incidentally, according to efqdirectory.com, wtravel was supposed to begin development of the next version of efqDir in November, but I don't know how that stands.

Why? 2 reasons: <ul>
<li>to make changes in the templates
<li>that's the way it has always been done in Xoops</ul>

I had seen the "override" reference, but I knew how to do it the other way, and I didn't have time to learn anything new. And nowhere did I see "Don't do this any more. It will mess up your site." I agree with you - if you're not supposed to do this any more, and it might mess up your site, it should be removed.

I'm going to review the tutorial, but I guess that I first need to undo the mess up. Should I just re-upload the default templates and then update the System module, or what?

Thanks for the help.

On a 2.0.17.1 site, I cloned the templates and set the clone to active, and at some point after that, the banner system quit working. I don't know if it's just coincidence or not. Sometimes, the banner placeholder shows, but there is no banner. Other times, you can't see even that.

I tried setting the default templates to active, and now there is nothing at all where the banner should be.

I will probably not be using the XOOPS banner system, but, if it is supposed to work, then I want it to work. The fact that it doesn't work may indicate a problem which needs to be fixed.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

Did you get this figured out?

Thanks, Tom, but I don't need anything that elaborate with billing. I want to do a semi-manual system and run all billing through my web billing system which I like a lot, and It would be a big help to not have to keep up with expiration dates. I just need it, when I add a transaction, to slip 'em in the group and then bump 'em back out upon expiration.

That's what Subscriptions is supposed to do, but, like I said, I can't get it to remove them from the group after expiration has passed. I would pay something just to have it do that, but I don't need the functionality that would justify $200 or so.
I really need to learn PHP. Maybe someday.

If anyone is using this module and has it working, how about posting here how you are using it.

I can't seem to get the expiration routine to work, and there's been no help from Thirdeyesoftware. When you post a manual transaction, the user is placed into the proper group, but I can't seem to get the module to remove them from the group after the subscription has expired.

An interesting concept, but it would be a lot more interesting if it worked. Anyone have it working?

Marcan?

Anybody?

Can you do this in xcgal? Or any other gallery module? If so, this would be great. Not only could you use one of the free services, but you could set up a server at home, link to the photos there, and not have to upload anything! Please, tell me it's true!

I really need to be able to choose multiple topics to display in the "Recent Items" block. I made a feature request for this a while back, but it hasn't made it in yet.

Here's the reason why I think that this is important: If you want to have multiple communities on your site, with content specific to each community displayed on the community home page, then you have to be able to display only those (multiple) topics which pertain to that community. You can do this with News and CBB but not with SmartSection. My plan is to use "blankpaper" module clones as as the home pages and block holders for each community or section and then put CBB, SmartSection, and/or News blocks with all categories specific to that community or section on each home page. I can't use only News, because I also need notification by "new article published (not submitted) in a particular category", and News doesn't have this. SmartSection does.

Anyway, that's why I want to do it. I may be wrong (hope I'm not), but it seems that this should be a relatively easy hack, like "select multiple" instead of "select". I took a look at the SmartSection block, though, and I couldn't decipher just where to make the change. I see (I think) how it's done in the News news_top.php block, but SS does it differently.

So, I'm kind of stuck, because I'm at the point where I have to decide whether or not to continue in this direction or to back up and go another, so, if someone could point me in the right direction on this, as far as what changes to make and where, I would be much appreciative.

How are you coming with your town site(s)? What did you decide?
