1. Can you have separate headlines, so one rss feed is on one page, and another rss feed is on another, instead of all shown together in same block?

2. Can users on my site have their own blog?

3. Is there some type of url rewrite so I can specify what the url will be for certain pages?

thanks for all your help.

so I'm trying to decide whether or not to use XOOPS or xaraya. Xaraya has a smoothness to it that I like, but there seems to be absolutely no support forums or sites to download mods. Yet I've read many posts about all the mods for xaraya, I haven't found any to download. Can postnuke mods be used on xaraya? Or are people just taking about the included mods on xaraya?
what's so great about it?

Wondering if anybody had thoughts on this. Mambo 5.0 if it ever comes out sounds cool. And I've seen lots of people posting like xaraya is so amazing but nobody ever said what was so great, just acted as if everybody knows xaraya is amazing.

For my site I need lots of specific permissions. Users need to have one page they can edit, and also user blogs, but these need to be in sections based on the continent the user is in. I thought tiki wiki would be easiest for this but am not so sure. Maybe xaray is most flexible? I don't know. Post your thoughts. thanks.

P.S. One thing about tiki is the support fourms suck. Users aren't quick to help anybody else out.
P.S.P.S. are there any good mod sites for xaraya?

here is what I'm trying to do:

!!EXTRA UPGRADE INSTRUCTIONS!!
Please apply the patch as ususal, overwriting the original files with the ones from the patch. Please use your FTP application to make the mainfile.php file in your site root folder temporarily writable (chmod 777).

I've installed using fantastico and am trying to update to 2.07 . I've tried a complete manual install in the past and am told that a bunch of necessary files aren't writeable even though my hosting provider says they are. I'd like to give XOOPS a try, but it never quite works right.

can someone tell me or point me to somewhere that explains what chmod is and how to change settings to make the proper files writeable? Thanks

thanks for the info. Maybe XOOPS isn't the answer for me, perhaps tikiwiki, but that seems a bit complex for the users. I can't even get XOOPS to work without an error everytime someone tries to login, so maybe that is a sign.

No I have no ftp problem, I can upload and download fine. But when I use the custom installer it says that files aren't writeable. This isn't true, I can ftp just fine, the hosting company has checked and the files are writeable.

My question is, do I need to reinstall to make sure I get the right files there, or can I just copy over the existing files?
thanks

Okay, the problem is I cannot do a manual installation, only can do it through fantastico. When I try to do manual installation I'm told that the proper files aren't writeable, even though that isn't true.

can I replace some files without having to do a reinstall? thanks

what happens when the custom install keeps telling you files are not writeable when you know that they actually are?

and what the heck is chmod-666, chmod777? thank you
