How do you you delete these incorrect entries? I tried everything. I have these blank entries now.

Installing AdsNews 13 did ok. The update 2.0 does not register with XOOPS and gives me the error statement,"Module File for Not Found.

Much appreciate any help,

Rick

Hi Alan,

We at Mozilla Dev are looking for an e-commerce module that fits into XOOPS.

Rick

I have tried to install a module that causes a "Module File Not Found"

How can I delete these entries. No matter what I try to do, I can delete them.

Thank you,

Rick

It would be most beneficial if the XOOPS team would do as Mozilla has done, create a more consistant and a unified module install and un-install wizard.

Also quality modules discriptions should be required monitored prior to posting. Many of the module's descriptions are not available or are not adequate. This will improve the overall experience of XOOPS.

Good question left unanswered. Can this be done?

phpBB does have a one button restore and a one button save. You have the option to save structure with data or any combination.

Our organization is using phpBB for project management and I wonder what are some of the drawbacks of the forum module and XOOPS with regards to maintenance and management issues. The ease of backing up and restoring are very important functions

Absolutely not, the idea is having XOOPS replace Composer. This thinking stems from the reason why Composer is there in the first place – to give the user the ability to create a web page or to import / cut -paste text into a HTML environment without having to understand HTML. HTML coders would not use Composer but instead their favorite editor – although they may quickly validate using Composer.

If Composer is used by the casual or non technical person who wants to create HTML docs, then XOOPS can very well steal the show. This is how I perceive this would work.

XOOPS is the web editor for Mozilla.

a) Based upon practicality and playing to an audience of non-technical content providers, a standard template for XOOPS would be created for the extension. This template would permit the client to enter content, print, preview and post. The client would need the exact template on the server. It completely replaces Composer.

b) Templates are the bases of giving functionality to XOOPS. All the intelligences of how XOOPS’s functions in the backend will be enabled within the template structure. If you allow the client to add flash content, it will be the template that predefines a frame for the flash object. Just as skins are made to give more options for an environment, templates would do the same.

There are two distinct elements of creating an extension they are:

The use of templates to create pre-defined frames
To create special Mozilla enabled components

The object is to create unique functions that blends within the Mozilla culture which will give practicallity and reason to installing these extensions.

Because Mozilla suite has a full integration with its mail client (where Firebird is only the browser) consideration of how these components will function will decide if they can indeed be shared for both Firefox and the Mozilla sute.


Reasons for installing XOOPS extensions

A - If one wanted to Blog, you would not need to have a live connection to the internet, you can write your articles, inssert images - photos, preview the assembled pages and upload them later.

B - A newsletter can be created and then previewed for release by the editor. The local machine would not have to connected to MySQL and would serve as a beta site. You would not need to produce an actual beta site for previewing for local viewing.

C - Media objects within the iframe can now be previewed before uploading. they can be tested for position, html compliancy and overall contextual placement. You will also be able to test the site with others for addressing quality assurance issues before uploading. These files are not connected to a MySQL server for a local machine.

D – Serves as a webpage copier. This locally produced blog or article with images allows the author to make a digital copy for archiving from the local files. All media and images and infrastructure is contained in one main folder. A CD or DVD can be produced from the local publication. Media and text files can be served on your local machine or uploaded to a XOOPS enabled site. It will look and behave the same, rather its on your pc or on the internet. Of course you would need lite version of XOOPS installed.

Summary

Produce a gateway to some key features to XOOPS by integrating elements into the Mozilla browser that will compliment the function of communication and content creation.

The scenarios I have described above may not be practical, but I think there is a place for adding value when you ask not the question, “What do we do when we are on the net, but rather, What do we want to able to do. I look at the internet as – viewing and composing.

"MoXOOPS" lite would act as a lite publishing tool for a local machine and for XOOPS on the net. Although the lite version has limited functions, all files, CSS and templates are fully compatible with XOOPS.

Do I hear a mobile version?

Can we ask the Admin to move relevant post on the topic on creating mods for Mozilla, to a new thread?

1- I would like to keep this thread for those who want to voluteer

2- I would like to have a thread dedicated to evaluating the possiblilites of creating bridges to Mozilla. I can then invite Mozilla team members to participate in this discussion.

Regards,

Rick

My intentions was to provoke an interest in bridging the world of Mozilla and XOOPS. Although I will explain what I describe, more importantly I wanted to have the XOOPS community create ideas that would help both Mozilla and XOOPS.

I would like to apologize for not replying sooner. I am not receiving my notifications when more post are created even though I have checked "Notify me of new posts in this thread."

In reading these postings I see a community which is very positive, responsive, creative and willing to experiment. I am quite encouraged.

Can we start another thread? "Creating Mods / Extensions for Mozilla" would be the topic title. This thread would discuss concepts, resources needed and the inter workings of the Mozilla / Firefox development tools for the creation of extensions. These extensions would allow the client / user to realize the usefulness of XOOPS.
