Hi!
I'm not really a total noob, but I havnt posted here in a long while. Yes, Ive done searches, but havnt really found what Im looking for.

Ive got a site at:
www.chrometuna.com

I really liked the maitsco classic theme, but I needed to butcher it.

I wanted my 'broadcast box' to appear as high in the page as I could get it, and still have some kind of menu in view. I wanted it all the way across the page.

With the help of this topic:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=19242&forum=15&post_id=82188#forumpost82188

I accomplished that fairly well.
Now I'm trying to find a way to make that box ONLY appear on the front page, and one other page. I know I can do that by fiddling with boxes eventually.

But one thing I am trying to do NOW is put boxes, for things like "Top story" or "Spotlight" in a couple of the sliding boxes at the top of the page.

I kinda sorta got it to work in one of the sliding boxes, but how do I get it (With different boxes/content) to show up in all THREE sliders? You'd have to look at my page to see what I mean. Is there a way to show a different box in each slider box? Like a "recent news" box, and "Spotlight news" box, and whatever box? ATM I am using the boxes sacrificed for right collumns.

Is there a way to use <start rightbox loop> <end rightbox loop> then <start right box loop> etc, to make different boxes from different modules that would normly be on the right side?

Im not sure how to phrase the question to show what I am asking.

Also, with AMS, clicking on the "read more" leads to a broken link, or just the same intro text and no artical. Whats up with that?

NOW an easier question: I want to make those sliding boxes smaller, to fit the size of the sliding pics Im using. I havnt found a size code or line that will make those boxes smaller. I COULD make the pics smaller to fill the whole box. But I wanted the boxes smaller. AND maybe to add yet another box up there.

Any help? Or have I made any sense at all?

How do I get rid of, or change the little XOOPS logo in the address bar?

Like if I wanted to make my own sites logo show up there instead of the XOOPS one?

Thanks

Cheers

OK....half of my stupidity was not remembering that SPW etc do not work in Firefox, which I find disturbing.

NOW....this is probably more of that blindness....but HOW do you get the photos to appear in the summeries?

How do I get the photos to appear in the catagory summeries on the frontpage of zmagazine?

Any help?

I couldn't find a solution for this after several searches.

I just installed 2.2.3 and noticed the SPAW editor module, and I installed that.

I am using zmagazine for my main news/content module. But I cannot get the SPAW editor to work with it (No selection menu, just the standard XOOPS editor)

Whats the trick to getting SPAW, or any other wysiwyg editor working in all of the modules?

I tried editing the xoopseditor.php class file, as per other suggestions, but that did not work.

I am sure that in past XOOPS installations I have had SPAW and KOIVI working in zmagazine, but I cant get them to work in it now.

Any help? Please? None of the other articles or support forums posts really addressed this. Isnt there one of the xf-section type modules that includes SPAW with it?

I am in the same situation, I hope that someone can help us sort this out?

Can extended profiles be uninstalled and then re-installed to fix the problem? It might have been a mistake to make the entire XOOPS so dependent on extended profiles.

Could someone help us?

OK, I reverted to the "original" newbbex module and to the original error. (So that I could start making changes fresh)

I get:


So is there a simple change I can make to one of these lines/files?

And will that just lead me to the next error?

I am sure that someone else will benifit from this thread and info, as it is something that I havnt found a satisfactory solution for.

Thanks!

OK.
Now pardon my ignorance, but what is a "grep tool"? And how do I use it?

Is this a matter of both modules trying to use the same database table? If so, the why do I only get this error in newbbex and not CBB?

Cheers

OK, Ive tried this, and here is the error messages that I get:

Quote:

I did some searching on these errors here, but my little brain couldnt make sense of the info, or find any real solutions?

CBB works fine, no errors after installing newbbex. But newbbex shows these errors (And nothing else on the page)

What code modifications can I make? And where?

And how can I use koivi or spaw editor with this forum?

(I also cant seem to get SPAW to work in the news module...but it DOES work in the zmagazine module?)

I thank anyone for any help!

That is close to the answer I was looking for.

But it seems to me like I tried this, and the two modules comflicted.....like they tried using the exact same database tables?

Isnt CBB just a re-wired version of newbbex?

Im not sure if I am ready yet to tackle cloning a forum module....seems like I have read here that those are particularly tricky. But I would bet that there are enough people like me that would really dig a cloned forum module?

Too bad that most of us that want such a thing are not able to DO it!

Thanks!
