Hello,
Contact Bob athttp://www.nukescripts.net

He has a paypal block for PHPNuke, I was using it on my nuke site.

It instantly adds members to a group when they click on it and pay through paypal(paypal IPN). It also sets the membership for a set amount of time.
If you get his permission to port it over, you guys can easily add admin features.

I started to convert several Nuke scripts over, but still lack the understanding of making full admin featured mods for xoops.

Currently I have begun to attempt to get the paypal block ported on my site, things are going slow, I am not yet totaly familar with the XOOPS code.

Yes a PayPal membership block/module is very useful.

In your preference-general settings make sure following is set to yes while you are updating theme:
Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?

Now I assume you are using a FTP program.
When you upload a file make sure you upload it as a "binary" file, not on auto.
For whatever reason I could not get it to work with the auto on. That stumped me for several hours. I kept changing css and uploading with no effect. Then I noticed that the file size on the server did not change. (thats what I get for coding at 3a, I miss little stuff like that)

To start just update the style.css(/themes/default/style.css) and then later the theme.html and block html if needed.
You will get the hang of it.

I will be able to help this weekend if you still need some help.

Hello,
Welcome to Xoops.
I just installed XOOPS about a week ago and moved my PHPNuke site to a sub domain.

I converted my nuke themehttp://nuke.archangelartifacts.com over to XOOPShttp://archangelartifacts.com

Xoops theme rely heavily upon css and it took me a day or two to get reaquainted with css.

Xoops and PHPNuke themes are totaly different, in that you cannot just drop a nuke theme in the XOOPS theme folder.

I currently do not have time this week to work on your theme, but if you leave your web address and the nuke theme you want converted I will be able to work on it next week.

Hello,
Its been about a week since I switched to XOOPS from another CMS.
I finally got the theme and several system templates recoded to the theme. (works with MSIE at least)
I recoded several nuke things to work with Xoops, though they are not quite finished.
You can see the easy recode, an error handler.
Error handler
400
401
403
404
http://archangelartifacts.com/whatever for the 404.
Striped out the nuke code and just put in several Apache codes and include main and header files. I will add function and globals to make it more XOOPS later on.
When I get the other recodes working better I will post them.


Is there a wiki or tutorial on making basic blocks and modules for Xoops?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Oh Yeah I recoded Bob's (www.nukescripts.net) paypal block and almost got it working. Uses the IPN from paypal and instantly adds user to a group for a set amount of time after they pay through paypal. days, weeks, months, years. It is not GPL though, so when I get farther into the code I will present my work to him. The Nuke block is his work.
Give Credit Where Credit Is Due.

Hello,
The theme is about 85% done and coming along nicely.
I have noticed that when you add on modules you have to go through and redo their css files.
Once I am done with the theme I shall make css for IPB and zenTrack to match theme, maybe others..
I have made an Ebay Block and a simple EBay Module, both are currently not working quite right but you can see a demo of the eBay block working athttp://archangelartifacts.com.

I have gotten google.com adsense ads working, again sorta, and will work on them more at a later date.

Smarty Debugging....Sweet
A very positive impression with XOOPS since installation.
Very user and admin friendly.
It will take a bit to adjust to new XOOPS code.
Currently minimal knowledge of xml coding.
Thats why I started with theme conversion, something simply.
Thank You ackbarr and a gracious welcome.

Hello,
I have been a hardcore PHPNuke user for two years and just installed XOOPS 2.0.5 this weekend. I will be switching mainsite to XOOPS as soon as I learn a bit more of the coding.
IMHO XOOPS leaves Nuke standing at the start line.
Anyways I am not here to bash Nuke.

I am changing a theme to look like my customized nuke theme.
See Nuke theme here:http://archangelartifacts.com

See developing Xoop theme here:http://xoops.archangelartifacts.com

My question is How do I call XOOPS database through theme.html.
More specific:
At my nuke site when you go there you will see a link on the navbar that says "create an account". When logged in it says "Welcome username"
How do I code that in the theme.html to do similar in Xoops.

I have tried adding <{$uname}> and a couple others to no avail.
Go easy on me guys, this is only the second day I started looking at the code.
Does anyone have a XOOPS website that shows the different XOOPS code.

Oh yeah how do I code the banners so that they show if activated and do not show when not activated. Currently on the theme I am modifying it shows the banner area if activated or not, if not activated it shows empty block. I have currently moved the banner block to bottom of XOOPS theme til I figure it out. You can see it at my XOOPS site.

the XOOPS developers have done a terrific job on this CMS, I hope in the future to be able to contribute to the developement. (have already converted my Nuke Ebay Block to work with xoops).
