OK, I found the text that said Read More... and was able to change it - I think the text is confusing because there are more articles right below it. I'd still like to get rid of the line above the Read More text - I see where it's coming from in templates/news_block_top.html, and I took out the line,

<hr width='98%' />

but when I reloaded the page, the line is still there. How do I update my site with the change to the template?

I notice you have ads on the side - did you just add html or do you have blocks to manage side adds the way the main module manages the banner ads? How did you do the radio stations and the calendar? And is the total hits something XOOPs already tracks? I don't know if I want to display it for users, but it would be nice if I could see stats like that on an administrator. I'm just using banner counts to track hits right now.

improving news spotlight

I upgraded news so I could use the spotlight feature, and I've noticed that the full article I spotlighted is not being read by anyone - the full article was being read before I used spotlight.

I think the problem is how there's a separator, then a Read More.. then another separator. I think it would work better if the first separator was eliminated, the read more link was append to the end of article text and renamed to - Click to read rest of article" or "continued..." or something like that. How can I make a change like that?

I was able to register her from my machine but it didn't work from hers - I'll have to see if she was using my email address instead of hers, I think she was using her own, though.

so it is a newer version of the same module then?

As for making backups - backing up the site is easy enough - I'm not sure how to back up the database. I'm new to XOOPS, MySQL and PHP.

I thought perhaps the update button ran the upgrade file - I'm not quite sure how to "run" a php file - do you just open it in the browser? Or is it something you do from teh command line?

News 1.1 vs News 1.44?

Is 1.44 an upgrade to 1.1 that installed with XOOPS 2.0.13? If so, do I just replace the whole module and then click the upgrade button on my modules administration page?

That appears to be the case, but I wanted to clarify because I'm new to XOOPS and I don't want to lose my news articles.

also, I'm writing my own game reports, which is why I'm just sticking with the cavs for now.

Eventually, I'd like to have a page similar to this

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/teams/schedule?team=cle

where it shows the results to date - one for each team

and game reports like this

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/recap?gameId=260417002

where you can go between the report, the box score, photos, play by play, etc., on a game by game basis as well as the side bar that has other info specific to the game report.

And I'd like to be able to do something like this

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/clubhouse?team=cle

a page for each team

and then something like this

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/index

consolidates the top individual team stories on an NBA page

and then something like this

http://espn.go.com/

consolidates all of the sports

so if people are contributing articles to my site, I can automate logically groping them.

And what I want to do that the ESPN site doesn't do is integrate a message board for each level. i.e. recent replied topics for a specific message board tied to a specific page.

I suspect I'll have to do some programming to make some of this work.

ok - I'm trying to start with the spotlight - I don't see spotlight in my list of blocks, so I searched this site and found news version 1.44 - is this a newer version of the news module I have now? Mine says v1.1 and came from the XOOPS install. If so, can I just overwrite this with what I just downloaded and click on update in the action column? I've only written 3 news articles thus far, but I'd rather not lose them.

thanks for the help - it's much appreciated.
