Thanks all!!! This is what I value the most about XOOPS the very active and friendly userbase. Thaks for all your kind replies.
Some of your ideas are new to me (like for example Wiwimod, ArMS and Tab Mod)
I have been trying to use WF-section and I think there is a lot of promise in it. I am a very experienced coder/developer but have mainly used C and assembler vs. Oracle, Progress, Mimer and other db:s PHP and MySQL are new to me but they seem fairly easy. The problem with WF-section is the lack of any kind of documentation and even a hint on what the developer have in mind using a certain label. The bugs is also a bit annoying....
Last night I change a block of WF-section to make it visible on the frontpage. Te result was a total lost of all my block settings in the left column. Yes, I know its under development and not meant production, but the lack of documentation and stability makes a bit hard to decide if it fulfills my needs.
Multymenu is about the same. It looks promising but it only allows one level, no submenus.... so the thought of shoing my categories is not possible right now. Then there is the stupid labeling inside the modules and..... guess what.... the lack of documentation.
One of my first lessons as a developer was the need for documentation during the whole developing process. That is not something you do when the project is finished.
I think the opening of
http://modules.xoops.org/ would be a great step forward but I thing you should ad some requirements about the documentation of modules in the future.
Any more ideas that can help me?
