I'm sorry to say I just got nailed by this bug and had no clue it existed until I lost my site. Now I am going to have to reinstall it from scratch.

1) Developers, PLEASE make notes in the download sections about these problems!

2) Webmasters, PLEASE make available previous versions of XOOPS, such as 2.0.7.3 or 2.0.7. Only having the latest full version only proves that you are too confident in your own ability to program. That and others might want a previous version for various reasons, including needing to get their original site back.

As it is, I am now going to have to go deal with my non-existant site. Hopefully I'll have a copy of XOOPS 2.0.6 somewhere and can start over. As a programmer, a blank page gives me absolutely nowhere to start from in debugging the problem. All I know is it's a php error someplace in the loaded files which keep it from being executed.

Have fun. I plan on it. Yippee!!!

P.S. Dispite my displeasure I support the XOOPS site and it's efforts and will continue to so long as XOOPS and it's developers continue to provide professional level software and the proper support for it.

This is still on a per-user basis. Is there no way to set it globally other than to dive into the code...the admins of this site obviously managed to do it. How is it done, please tell us.

I have been working on a site with XOOPS and this is my first time with XOOPS specifically. I am using the Headlines module to get news from Slashdot but the links that show in the block link to the module, not Slashdot. I really have no need for the module other than the block of headlines. How can I get around this problem without having to go in and recode it all by hand? It would be a pain and I really don't want to do that. I just want the headlines posted in the block to link directly to Slashdot so when people click on them they get a new window with the Slashdot article. Is this something that should be added as a feature?
