Hello all,

I've got a couple of questions on modules and i would appreciate it greatly if you guys are able to help me.

1) I am using News 1.21 and is it possible for the "Recent News" shown on the top page to display the title and a short intro the the news instead of the listing the titles?

If that isn't possible, how are people making their news appear in the top page with the title and a short portion of the news.

2) I would like more advertisements to be displayed on my website instead of just the top (example: left/right block), should i do this by adding a new block or is there a module for this? If not, do i have to edit the CSS template or sort to get more advertisements out?

3) I noticed that under "Registration" users have to fill out very little options to get them registered. Is there a way to include more blanks for guest wanting to register to sign up and even make some of those blank fields compulsary?

Thanks to all for taking your time to read this post and many thanks in advance again. XOOPS is a GREAT module and i hope i will be able to use it to its fullest potential!

problem 1: goto blocks admin, click on Edit beside the Recent/Top News block, you can set the spotlight & teaser info there


problem 2: create a custom Block in the admin, set the type to PHP Code, and paste in the following code

include_once XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/include/functions.php';
global $xoopsConfig;
$db =& Database::getInstance();
$bannerobject = '';
$bresult = $db->query("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM ".$db->prefix("banner"));
list ($numrows) = $db->fetchRow($bresult);
if ( $numrows > 1 ) {
    $numrows = $numrows-1;
    mt_srand((double)microtime()*1000000);
    $bannum = mt_rand(0, $numrows);
} else {
    $bannum = 0;
}
if ( $numrows > 0 ) {
    $bresult = $db->query("SELECT * FROM ".$db->prefix("banner"), 1, $bannum);
list ($bid, $cid, $imptotal, $impmade, $clicks, $imageurl, $clickurl, $date, $htmlbanner, $htmlcode) = $db->fetchRow($bresult);
if ($xoopsConfig['my_ip'] == xoops_getenv('REMOTE_ADDR')) {
        // EMPTY
    } else {
        $db->queryF(sprintf("UPDATE %s SET impmade = impmade+1 WHERE bid = %u", $db->prefix("banner"), $bid));
}
    /* Check if this impression is the last one and print the banner */
    if ( $imptotal == $impmade ) {
        $newid = $db->genId($db->prefix("bannerfinish")."_bid_seq");
        $sql = sprintf("INSERT INTO %s (bid, cid, impressions, clicks, datestart, dateend) VALUES (%u, %u, %u, %u, %u, %u)", $db->prefix("bannerfinish"), $newid, $cid, $impmade, $clicks, $date, time());
        $db->queryF($sql);
        $db->queryF(sprintf("DELETE FROM %s WHERE bid = %u", $db->prefix("banner"), $bid));
    }
    if ($htmlbanner){
        $bannerobject = $htmlcode;
    }else{
    $bannerobject = '
.XOOPS_URL.'/banners.php?op=click&bid='.$bid.'" target="_blank">';
        if (stristr($imageurl, '.swf')) {
            $bannerobject = $bannerobject
                .''
                .'.$imageurl.'">'
                .''
                .'.$imageurl.'" quality=high pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"; type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="468" height="60">'
                .''
                .'';
        } else {
            $bannerobject = $bannerobject.'.$imageurl.'" alt="" />';
        }

        $bannerobject = $bannerobject.'
';
}
echo $bannerobject;
}

Wow, that was quick and informative, bd_csmc! Thanks a million. About the 3rd problem i've been doing some searching and found out that this was very difficult to do if not impossible. However, i hope that in the next large stable release of XOOPS this will be implemented. Thanks again for the help!
