Quite right you are.

I have looked at that page 2309856739486 times and missed the little
<div id="content">
<{$xoops_contents}>
</div>
at the bottom.

Thank-you.

Does that mean I would have to recode some of the core?
Sounds daunting...
Suggestions?

Hi

I am using the catads module and my own theme.
There is a block in the module that I would like to appear on the index page of the module.

Only, all blocks appear above any content scripted on the template page (catads_index.html) of the index.php page.

How can I manipulate the placements of blocks on pages with specific content on them already?

LOL!!!!!

Guess what?!!

I changed the Administration > System Admin > Preferences > General Settings and Set "Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?" to YES and it fixed my admin menu.

I still however have the problem with the admin menu not displaying correctly.

A shove in the right direction would be appreciated!

Well, I have just discovered the answer to my own question!

All that was necessary was to Go to Administration > System Admin > Preferences > General Settings and Set "Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?" to YES.

I have a question that has bothered me for a while.
I do all of my development on my localhost and once the site is up and running migrate it to the web hosting server.
It is a simple case of FTP all the files up, change the details on the mainfile.php file to correspond to the web hosting servers details and then do a dump of my local database into the web hosting's MySQL server.

The site wil then work, only small details will not be the same. For example, I changed the look of the left, right and center blocks so that they do not have a title or a border. On the one server it is just how I specified it and on the other not.
On the uploaded server the admin menu is only showing three modules (although they are all installed and working just file) and when I redo the ftp of the system files, nothing changes.
I made a change on the localhost's theme.html file and uploaded it, but it never made the change on the web's site.

This has flumuxed me because if the information on both databases is EXACTLY THE SAME and the php and css and html files are EXACTLY THE SAME on both servers, why oh why, do they not look the same?

The ordering of the admin menu is a question that has been raised a few times without any resolution.

I have just installed my second online XOOPS site. With the first installation the way I ensured the ordering of the admin menu was by installing the modules according to their order. In other words, if I wanted News above Calendar, I installed the News module first.
Fine.

My second installation, however, did not turn out the same.
I installed the modules in the order I wanted them to appear in my admin menu and ordered them the same for the main menu in the system/modules section.
I then uninstalled the last module I installed and hey presto, the new order in the admin menu is now:

1 (system)
9 (faq)
8 (partners)
7 (forum)
6 (evennews)
5 (calendar)
4 (database tools)
3 (headlines)
2 (news)

This is very irritating for me because I do most of my admin in news and headlines, which are now at the bottom of the bloody page!

So my questions are:

1) How can I permanently re-order the admin menu?
I have already deleted the adminmenu.php in cache twice now and it still has not ordered the menu according to my ordering of the modules on the system/modules install/uninstall page.

2) Why on earth did it reverse the order?
