The sticking point would be that in order to operate the module would depend on the XOOPS core, which means it would be governed by the GPL.

Have a look at this;

Wow, tis is a blast from the past . I think your somewhere between a rock and a hard place with this Andy as the GPL which XOOPS is released under is quite clear on this. If you are to make a living out of developing for and supporting Xoops, then the only options I can see that protect your interests are;

(a) Never actually release your module code, but instead just allow your customers exclusive access to be able to use it on their website (the same as your option b above). Make sure that you make it very clear for customers which modules are available for use exclusively through your hosting services.

(b) Expand your modules so that they are actually able to run as a stand alone item, and independently of Xoops. This will release you from being tied into the GPL, and will then allow you to release your code under any license you wish.

Option b would be a lot of extra work, and I doubt that what you would gain by doing it would be worth your while. This leaves you with option a, which as you say is not exactly fair, but is the only one that protects your interests as a module developer for a GPL product. There is not a thing you can do to stop people from distributing your code that you depend on for your income once it is released, so the only card you as a developer have left to play is to not release the code at all and allow people the use of it in a controlled hosting environment.

AMS does work, make sure you have the correct naming structure for your module directory.

Check out lines;

Sorry James, it is a part of the block template that McDonald mentioned above. It's just a lot different from most other templates I've worked with, and I just can't seem to get it to play nice.

Agree with phppp and Mith here. The changes in PHP 4.4 have brought a LOT of PHP apps unstuck all around the world. I have also read that if you update to PHP 4.4 without updating to the latest zend optimiser it can also cause issues.

Hi All,

I'm trying to edit the default XHLD headlines block template from this;




To something with a more tabled formated view such as the default top users and new members blocks have. I'm a bit of a novice with Smarty and PHP, and have only ever dealt with fairly standard and easy to follow templates before. I have modified the XHLD template as follows;



However, the foreach statement isn't looping through the $block.feeds array as I would like, and all that is shown in the block is the word "Array" (minus the ""). Just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction with this?

LazyBadger, you are the most arrogant, self absorbed and self-righteous individual I have every come across in my 30 years of being on this planet! Build a bridge and get over yourself, you are not the be all and end all of this community! Freedom of speech DOES NOT give you the right to chastise other members of this community. Are you familiar with legal terms as libel and defamination? You CAN be taken to court and sued depending on where you are in the world for comments such as you've been making about other members. Get a clue would you, they come free with a developed social conscience!
