Okay, I see how to solve 1) with a custom HTML block. Learned something new today (other than search before posting :P )

Any help with question 2) on news? Thanks!

Howdy;

A few blatant newbie questions about how the XOOPS front page is configured:

1) Is that "Welcome to XOOPS official website!" section in the top middle a module? How is that configured?

2) The news section in the bottom middle looks like the stock news module; however I haven't found a way to configure the section to display like this, with the title and first text part both showing. What block type is that? Recent news, big story, etc...

Thanks!

Of the XOOPS photo album modules that exist, is there much support for bulk image uploads? I'd like to transfer my online photo album into something maintained by XOOPS, but loading each image individually would be a bit of a hassle.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I've managed to install Apache2, mySQL, PHP, and XOOPS successfully (whew!). I have a few general questions now that I'm into the XOOPS configuration process:

- When I go to the main page of my site (e.g.http://localhost), I'm getting the "Welcome to Apache!" page. Removing the Index.htm pages then shows me a directory listing of my docroot. I haven't noticed anyone mentioning that they've needed to modify their DirectoryIndex setting in httpd.conf to look for Index.php. Is this just implied or is there a more appropriate way to point to XOOPS?

- I see where modules are listed in the Administration section, though honestly I haven't yet found good descriptions for what they do and/or suggestions for external modules that provide supersets of functionality. Can anyone provide either an example set of module configurations for a "standard" site or a comprehensive listing of modules and in what circumstances they're useful? I guess my specific example would be News entries... there seem to be multiple modules to choose from and I'm having problems determining what would be appropriate.

Thanks for any help!
