This XOOPS is REALLY starting to piss me of.
One module works fine and the other is complete crap depending on what version of XOOPS you're using.
For every little thing you need knowledge of this and that and don't even get me started about removing banners and things.
I disabled banners, everything was ok, now I put them back on and off but it will not go away anymore???
Even something simple as changing links (which is easy in any other ) is hidden away so far I have not found it yet or I'm unable to find any info on that (which also changes with every theme !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).
Getting more and more pissed by the minute.
Installed counter, didn't work, found another one seemed to work .... forget it, it doesn't.
I was told this is easy and good software but in my opinion software without GOOD tutorials .... is crap.
I am willing to keep trying but one of these days I'm just gonna throw it away.
The overall XOOPS is nice but all that bullshit inside jeezes.
Any suggestions?
And don't tell me I need to study or whatever, this software is supposed to do things the easy way ....

Take a look at my website and u'll see what I mean. and then u don't even see the things not visible like counter and things.

Thx in advance

What is it that you would like to accomplish with your web site?

You need to determine which modules you like and want to use.

This will determine which version of XOOPS to install.

There are two versions:

Latest versions
XOOPS 2.2.2
(released 2005/08/16)

XOOPS 2.0.13.1
(released 2005/08/16)


Is there any reason you cannot install 2.0.13.1 ?
I can promise you most of your problems will go away if you are installing a bunch of modules.


Also, keep in mind, people here will gladly help you.

Best Regards,

I think we all understand the frustration you are experiencing. You do have to remember one thing. Everything you are building now is there for one reason. The people that you are frustrated with poured everything they had into it and then honorably released it freely. This is a developement issue. You are expecting the legendary xoopsphere a little prematurely. I hope that you recieve this well, as it is not intended to attack you. I am merely trying to point out that this entire thing is technically still in developement.

Yes I realise all this but still the frustration remains lol.
What I want to be able to do is change simple links (or remove, add) which appear in every theme differently and like I said after using the "activate banners" I cannot get rid of that image (empty) on frontpage.
And to be honest I am still confused with blocks modules templates themes cus one time you have to use a block to make something and the other time you need a module to do that.
Well i am using 2.2.1 so I guess no point in going back to the .3 version?
Keep in mind that I don't know PHP (learning), I noticed that there are more people that have trouble making for instance "webstats" work on 2.2.2.
Oh well, I guess I have to spend couple of 100 hours more to learn all this sigh.

Thx guys, maybe a couple of links for good tutorials or is everything already available on XOOPS site?
