Following m0nty's advice I started writing a blank template to display my already XOOPS wrapped comic page as a main index page.

All the wrap info is in the comic/index.php
so I made a little module, very basic, with a logo/language files/ and an index.php
since all the required things for the wrap are already in the comic's php file, I thought, 'well, simple fix, just make the module index include the comics php file and spit it out.' Simple, right? wrong.

this is what i have in my module index.php

<?php

include("../../comic/index.php");//has to be done this way, because the wrap code cannot come before the genpage function in the comic code

?>

When run, this is what I get

Warning: main(../mainfile.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nowhere/html/comic/index.php on line 91

If I explicitly put the mainfile.php, header/footer into the module index, I get a blank page (this is due to how the comic code I'm using is written. It must be put around the genpage function inside the comic's php file)

Any help on figuring this out would be greatly appreciated.

Here's What I'm referring to

Working Page.

Unworking page

Good point, but anyway, here's what I'm talking about

Two sites on one server, 2 different XOOPS installs, both using the same DB. Here's what they look like.

PowerTrip
Welcome to Nowhere

it was basically a hack that I picked up from reading the FAQ, on skinning html pages (i just modified it to apply to a php script)

I am fiddling with freecontent now, and I have it all customized, but when I try to get it to wrap the page and show it, all I get is a blank page.

Between the 2 sites I have different modules, one has a custom theme I made, and different users/overall settings, and I'm running them both from the same DB. so, I don't think that's entirely correct as you say that they have the same settings (they aren't sharing tables, the tables for site 2 are prefixed different)

apparently so
I'm now running two completely different sites from one DB with different options and whatnot (and all I did was what he said, I made a new prefix for the second site)

Alright, I'll show you what I mean.
Here's my hacked iStrip index file
Here

I have it skinned to use XOOPS themes, I just want to make it my default index.

Ok, last question, i think.

I've hacked up a version if iStrip for my webcomic to work inside the XOOPS environment.

However, I would like the comic from the iStrip files to be the default thing on the main page when you go to the site. (xoops is in my main web directory, istrip is in /comic/ using it's own index.php file inside xoops)

Can this be done? and how.

Awesome
Thanks
Works like a charm
Saves on having my admin getting involved to make me more DBs :)

I've just recently started using XOOPS, and for some reason my mind has failed me.

I'm running two sites, on one server. Would it be possible to run two XOOPS installations from one database on the server? Or does it require having 2 separate ones?

(Like I said, dumb question, everything I know about programming is screaming I'm an idiot)
