Hello everyone,
first of all I want to thank all the developers here in putting so much time and effort into this. I'm a complete newbie to webdesign and CMS and I'm pretty impressed what you can achieve without any programing knowledge.
However, I anticipated some probs in order to set up my "abroad blog" site. After playing around with a couple of modules for gallery, forum and blogs I decided to finally set up the page with myalbum, wordpress, narga's guestbook and the forumEX. Although I'm not 100% confident with these choices (any comments?), I decided to go with them because if there was a better module I couldn't get it running (specifically Galeria 1.26 - installed perfectly fine, but whereever i clicked in the admin menu-nothing happend! - any ideas?)
Now here is my problem: I want to have my website completely behind a login page except a nice text on the first page "if you're my friend request a login ...". Am i right that in the block section in the admin section the top pop-down menus are for user rights? I want to set up that anonymous users can just see the login blog + my custom block showing the message - however, if i change that, my registered user just see the login blog + custom blog - all others are set to not visible - worked around that so far by not enabling that block for registered users but that is no solution for the future (or is it?).
My next question goes in a similar direction: Instead of the author's note on every module's output, I'd like to remove the Copyright notes and include a link "Credits or courtesy" in the footer (instead of powered by xoops) which would link to a site with all used modules and their developer's website. However, I'd like to have this site in XOOPS (template etc.).
Another related question: I also would like to show my SkypeMe button in the footer - but just after somebody logged in - not everyone should be able to call me! (despite the fact that my website and Skype user name are the same
)
How would I undergo something like this?
Any hints are highly appreciated.
My environment is the following:
Apache integrated in OSX Tiger 10.4.2
mySql 4.0.21
Xoops 2.0.13.1
Many thanks in advance!
