hello,

i am making a custom news script that uses the XOOPS databases...
for now, i set default values for fields which i do not know what they are used for.

the fieldnames/column names are pretty self-explanatory but i need deeper info about each field. aside from the structure i got from phpmyadmin...

also, what is the format for the dates? (created and published)...

sorry for the noob questions. any reply would be greatly appreciated. thanks guys...

hello,
thanks for the reply. i think i was a little bit lazy when i posted the question :) i did a little research, got everything to work great

also, i think XOOPS is great. i managed to "re-use" stuff... my next question would go there... is there a list of functions that are built-in in xoops? also a list of available variables (all of them:))...

i remember getting stuck with making something that uses the $xoopsUser var... luckily i found the groupaccess hack (<--very useful) ... i figured that if i had a list of the functions/classes in xoops, it would be really great... sort of like the db classes that are found in the FAQ...

also, is there a good documentation available on making your module? including blocks and other stuff (<-- in modules)
i managed to come up with something but i had to put it inside an iframe in a custom-block... it works but later on, i would like to my own modules with the same functionality...

thanks for the reply really appreciate it...
