I appreciate the many hours that people have put into developing XOOPS - it's a GREAT package

with the DOCs part of this site down...what else are we to do? I mean, I looked into the .tar and found install instructions - but, again, they were for FULL install....why no instructions for those just looking to patch?!?!?!?

I understand RTFM...and I've spent the last 3 hours trying to find patch install instructions - believe me - it is NOT obvious!? and a little README-if-patching-exisiting-system.txt would be very helpful (and not that much work?)

While that may be obvious to those 'inside' - it's not to 'normal users/admins' - as many PHP type CMS' all have different install/update - why not a simple extra .txt file?

Quote:

ok...here's the first line or two of the README

Again - while it may sound stupid and obvious...it would be great for simple 'heres the basic instructions' .txt

Thanks! - Dave

Hi there,

[size=x-small]Disclaimer: I've RTFM..and tried Searching the Forums - so forgive me if this has already been dealt with (and please respond with a link to the answer, etc) as I didn't find an answer/option.[/size]

I'd like to find a way to 'exclude' events from the "Coming Events" module. For example, I'm using XOOPS in a Church environment - and my 'Coming Events' box is filled with the normal Sunday worships...people are expecting those, I'd like the 'Coming Events' box to only show things that are the 'unexpected'.

Seems like if I add another category to the Calendar - say, "Exclude from Coming Events"....then we'd have a clickable way to include/exclude what's going to show up in the block. Seems like it would require two rewrites of code:

1). Change the pull-down in the Calendar Categories to not list the category 'Exclude from Coming Events"....we wouldn't need to filter/show those..but I guess in reality, this is minor

2). Rewrite the "Coming Events" theme in the line:

<{foreach item=event && category != "Exclude from Coming Events" from $block.events}>

Although I'm sure my pseudo-code needs much work to 'make it work'...and I'm sure that I've missed some kinda nuiance in the code (like how to NOT count the excluded events from the 'How many to show' count)....but that's why I'm asking here and not trying to code myself (and create the hole in my wall from banging my head on it).

Thanks so much for the hard work already done!
