Yep, I'm just a dumb user with no clue. Not a one. Only an opinion and we know what opinions are worth.

Good luck anyway, I really don't want to argue about forks, knives, or the inner workings of forks or knives.

I only want to see the community back to the spirit that once was. And to have a good choice of modules to work with. So far I don't see much in the forks to make me want to switch. But that is only an opinion, and in that I know a great deal. It either works or it doesn't and I don't need a degree in physics or computer science to know.

You need to enter the correct location of ImageMagick into the preferences of xoopsgallery. You are less likely to have NetPBM available (but can be installed with binaries) so ImageMagick is your best bet. You might need to ask the ISP where it is located but the usual location is "/usr/X11R6/bin".

what's a "peeps"?

Huh? Maybe you missed a smilie but I don't think newbb was the problem. But I won't argue semantics..

Agreed! Nothing wrong with lots of choices though. However, I look to home base (xoops.org) for what they consider the stable choice. It doesn't mean their choice is the most feature rich or best for every need but it does tell me which one they feel most comfortable with. And so far that is newbb.

"May the fork be with you"

I'm on the fence about these kinds of things. Or more accurately I don't much care either way. Sure, many of these require an OS app (xoops and other things) to have any value but if what is being sold is a unique creation then I don't see a problem. I can choose not to use non free apps and not suffer a bit.

As for this particular site charging money I don't have a problem. Maybe it is my choice of browsers, operating system, or disdain for pointless fluff but this site looks horrible on my pc. Not the colours (yuck but many sites are ugly and that is a personal thing) but the header as rendered on mine is huge with little happening except being in the way of everything else. I can do Flash if that is what it is but it doesn't render very well at all on mine. That alone has me clicking away from the site before caring if there is anything useful whether free or not.

I only wonder why the politics get more airtime than the real xoops. I hope this latest storm is over soon. Let people on other sites do whatever they want as long as they aren't selling code that someone else wrote for free. I don't see that happening here so is not an issue that should be causing so much grief.

I'm hanging in there by a thread (or a fork).
Good to see you lurking and posting. I'm waiting for the storm to pass so I can get back to the business of open source (from a non coder's point of view).

One thing I don't think I've ever complained about is unanswered threads. I'm likely the king of lonely threads (or being the last poster, maybe I'm a thread killer lol). Frustrating to see my post sink off the page when it is because of so many of these kinds of threads. The "more" link doesn't seem to get used. There, I whinned about it... I'm happy now..

Fork away. If it makes a better product then fine. But that would be a rare case. More heads the better (if they can stop banging each other).

This is something I'm hoping to find as well. One of the team modules last I looked had hope for this but so far it doesn't serve my needs.

What I've done was to create a table by hand and then dump our (car) racing data into it and then use a content module (TinyD etc.) to extract the results. I create a PHP page for each result page.

A bit of manual work but now that I've made the base queries for our 1st event it will be easier the next time.

Base page for race results

Results for 6 runs, sorted by total score. (I did very well considering the stock class...)

There are other versions of the results. Key here is that the pages are dynamic and all feed off the same table dataset.

[edited: Please Don... we were getting along so well. Let's let it lie, shall we?
Thanks for your support, though.

edit by me: ok fine, letting it just go was my whole point. sheesh.

To be complete you'll want to clone the db as well (or it won't know about the installed modules and settings etc). Then just change the appropriate details in the /mainfile.php file and it should work. Similar to moving a site to another server.

snore...
another useless thread that won't acomplish anything but will go on for 20 pages while user questions go unanswered.

So no, I have nothing constructive to add but I'll add nothing anyway.

blah blah blah.

Welcome to (insert new love here) and bye bye to xoops. Thanks for stopping by.

Show me the code and I'll be more impressed.
