Thanks, Valker, for the fast response and the referenced URLs. It looks promising.

I have XOOPS installed, tweaked, and running. However, I want to install an additional/complete XOOPS in another folder and treat it as a "separate site". Basically, a landing site and then focused sites. I do NOT want to get into memberships to show different layouts, content, etc.

Each different URL will point to proper folder. (I will change the mainfile.php in the "new" folder and make sure the chmod for uploads/templates_c/cache are at 777 in the new folder). They would be SHARING the same SQL tables!!!

Is this possible? Or am I going to get data collisions because file locking, etc isnt sophisticated enough in xoops/sql/etc? I don't want to install a different cms for the focused sites cause i'm in love with XOOPS (hey..., a guy can say that!!!) and I want to stay with it. Searching shows no such conversation/scenerio.

Thanks ahead of time for any and all feedback. Rick

I'm using the search engine php that's installed with XOOPS and results are ok but are shown on a plain page instead of the theme's template. The results are the same regardless of which theme I use. I have not modified any theme html so I don't suspect a 'theme' problem per se but perhaps a corrupt search.php (which means I am probably in the wrong forum) but a half hour of searching for something on the forum yields nothing and I will start here. The situation has existed for quite a while as all 3 of my backups are with the same behavior. I obviously don't want to re-install XOOPS to fix this unless no alternative. Feedback appreciated.

thanks, tjnemez, will head over there now. rick

No problems during WF-Download installation, configuring, or tweaking. I uploaded a test mp3 file ok from the module page. But when I am in the module and trying to download the file, the download page pops up and all that is on the page is "Headers already sent" and nothing else happens. Anybody got a remedy? Thanks.
