Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this.

Kind regards,

I've installed the freecontent module but all I get is the message:
"Sorry, we were unable to find this Link-ID in our Database"

I deleted the tutorial link and created a basic php page to display the php settings just so I can figure out how this module works. However, all I get is the above message.

The only options in the admin module is "List Contents" and "Preferences"

How do I use the freecontent module??

Forgive me for posting in two locations (also in modules. I thought I could delete a post but I can't).

I found the download for the module. It was listed as version 1.01. Is this the latest version?

When the user clicks on the link for Faculty from the main page, I want them to go to the page which will display all the faculty. This page however uses a php script to access a MySQL db and pulls information from a couple of tables. Would I put that script in an "Article"? I experimented a little and found that the "Article" section produces another link. I really don't want that. I want the user to go directly to the list of faculty members, not to another link which then goes to the faculty page. This would seem an unnecessary extra step.


Thanks.

I am redesigning our department website and would like to use xoops. However, I am confused as to how to accomplish my goals because I don't know how to configure xoops. I've read through the user's guide athttp://wiki.xoops.org/wakka.php?wakka=HomePage. The main layout of the site will consist of the following pages:

Home page
Course syllabus page (dynamic php page filled from MySQL db depending on the course code passed to it)
Faculty page (dynamic php page which gives info on a faculty member. Also filled from MySQL db.)
Degree information (static html page)

If I understand what I've read, I need to pick a module to use as my home page.

I finally understand what "blocks" are and where to configure them but I don't know if I need to reconfigure a current module for each page listed above, or use a different module for each, or to just use blocks.

Could someone just kinda give me a push in the right direction as to how I should go about configuring/setting up the main pages above? I'm hoping that after I get that done I will be understand XOOPS better and be able to configure other pages I haven't mentioned.

Sorry if this question is confusing. I tried to phrase it clearly but unfortunately I don't understand enough about XOOPS to better phrase my question.

I've also installed iMenu and created a couple of links but nothing shows up anywhere so I don't know what iMenu is supposed to accomplish. I also installed the Freecontent module and uploaded a basic html file to the content directory as per the instructions but I don't know what I'm supposed to do to display that page.

Thanks.

Where can I change the url which the variable $xoops_url points to?

I downloaded iMenu and installed it. However, when I click on the module link, all it does is give me a form with the following entries:
Title
Link
Hide no/yes
Target ...
Groups.

So I put in a link, clicked "submit", and now I have a list of links but don't know what to do with them? What do we do after this?

Thanks

Maaannnn, I am so embarrased. It was that Linux thing you know, case sensitivity. I made the folder imenu instead of iMenu.

However, now I have two blank modules listed in my modules list from the two bogus installs. Clicking the uninstall does not remove them. How can I get rid of them?

Thanks.

Thanks for the suggestion, however, I had already tried uploading things again and got the same messages. Anyone have any ideas?

I figured out I needed to upload the imenu directory to the modules directory. After I did that, I logged into XOOPS and went to sys admin > modules and clicked on the install icon for imenu. At the top of the page came a bunch of messages that said "Module File for iMenu Not Found!Module File for Not Found!" However, in the center of the webpage was the following message:
"Module data inserted successfully. Module ID: 10
Setting group rights...
Added admin access right for Group ID 1
Added user access right for Group ID: 1
Added user access right for Group ID: 2

Module installed successfully."

Back in the modules section it shows that imenu was not installed. Can anyone provide some insight? Thanks.

PS. I also just realized that imenu is a module and not a template so my appologies for posting in the wrong section.
