To quote Monty above ...

"incidentally have u been to template manager in XOOPS admin, and generated the templates for it after install? not needed on the default XOOPS set, but if u have a different theme installed u need to generate the templates for that theme.."

Does anyone know how I do that? Does anyone know hopw I manually change the layout of the catergories of this module?

Nope - no go.

Its resolved the font issue and the numbers at the top, but all the catergories are chunks of text like the XOOPS default module. I want it to sit like nice little nexted groups.

If I try to change this myself, which file do I need to open in a web editor, as implied by Liquids posting earlier? If its one of the template files, which one? I assume its the wfdownloads_viewcat.html file?

Hi guys

Well liquid, I copied your file to my module folder, and guess what...it appears ot have worked!! Not only has it sorted out the number appearing at the top of the page, but also the font resizing and things. Great job.

I just hope it works on my work Intranet - I'll try it out as soon as I get in tomorrow. If it doesn't I'll come back to this posting.

Liquid : If possible, can you put me on a mailing list to be notified when the newer release is done (tedsmith28@yahoo.co.uk) in case I forget. No worries if you can't.

Thanks again for all your help guys.

Here is the link to my own personnal site. The WFmodule is called 'Lost-Doggies Downloads from the menu. I've made it availavble for anaonymous viewers and siabled everything else.

http://www.lost-doggies.com/modules/wfdownloads/

Please remember that the same problem has happened on both systems, but the other one is a work Intranet and not connected to the Internet, but it has the same errors.

No, I did not build the templates for the theme which is alightFC. I tried to do what you said, but it asked for a tar file which I don't have (running Windows not Linux). All it had listed was the XOOPS default theme. Perhpas this is the problem? But if it is, how come both of you just unpacked it and it worked?

I actually live in Derby - so closer to you than Nottingham! I just work there.

Thanks guys.

For a while there, I got all exited because I'm at home now and run my own site with XOOPS which does use a different theme (the one at work is just the default XOOPS theme at the moment).

However, the exact same thing happens to my own site which is externally hosted and everything. So I rekon I've just got a dodgy version of the module that is either kanckered or doesn't work with 2.0.6 of Xoops. I'll see if I can get a different one.

Cheers guys

Yours works exactly right. That's how I want mine to look.

Your first page is just the same as mine, but if you were using my site, you would click on, say, your Security\Antivirus link, but instead of it nicely listing your 3 catergories from top to bottom on the left hand side of the page, and everything else on the page staying the same, mine reverts back to using the default XOOPS download module. i.e. it displays the sub catergories just the same. What makes it worse is that all the fonts double in size, and all these weird figures appear at the top of the screen.

Did you just install it and run it initially, and then you chose to make the changes you refer to, or did you also have the same problem? If you did, how did you correct it? In other words, which bits of the theme files did you change?

Thanks

Any idea how long 'shortly' is? I need this download module to work like, yesterday. If it isn't gonna do the job I need it to, as much as I appreciate the developers hard work, I need results quick (thus the reason I'm using a CMS in the first place). It takes me too long to suss out how to go about changing themes. For starters, if the first page looks fine that lists the base catergories, why does the clickable page go all wonky?

Does anyone know of any other download modules that work as desired - i.e. nested 'Windows Explorer like' tree listings?

Thanks to everyone for their help.

One small problem (well a major one really).

The first screen of catergories looks brilliant - nicely nested. But when I click on one the following problems occur :

a) The previous default XOOPS download module layout is applied so I get chunks of text again which is what I wanted to avoid

b) At the top of the screen above the logo I get a series of '1's. Sometime two or three, other five or six 1's.

c) It changes all of the text on the whole page to a larger version of the original and it throws all the tabs out of line.

Anyone know how to get round this problem? Could uninstalling the old Downloads module help (I'd rather not until I know which one Im sticking with because the original one has got lots of data in it)?

Thanks

No, I hadn't, and yes, that is exactly what I was after. Thanks a lot.

Hi

We have a huge list of downloads and categories on our internal Intranet. I've sussed out how to get the page to display everything by increasing a code value in the main page (it defaults at if > 5 and I increased it to say if > 100).

The trouble is that I prefer the layout of the download module used by the e-xoops module (its the only thing I don't like about XOOPS by the way!!). It displays the data in a more listed tabular mannor rather than bunches of little text lines.

Is there a way of changing the XOOPS default downloads module to change how the catergories are displayed to the users? If not, is there a module that does that I can use with Xoops?

Thanks
