I was absolutely certain that I had done everything you said.

I checked it twice.

I saw your reply, did it again and it worked. Thanks.

Can I ask for more help now please?

The advantage I see with spaw is that I can just copy and paste from a word document and all the formatting stays intact.

This is ideal for the site I want to build. I want others in my group to be able to post newsletters and web pages via news. It is enough of a miracle that these folks use MS word, getting them to use the XOOPS admin interface will be a challenge.

In the download of SPAW, the readme file gave instructions on how to get NEWS to use it. I have followed those instructions but still the standard edit form comes up rather than the spaw editor.

Any suggestions there?

Actually when evennews is working with spaw, you should just update the preferences of the newsmodule to work with the spaw-editor!
The position in which you installed SPAW is actually the right location when working with news 1.3. That's why I took this approach.

Give it a try and let me know!

I removed my installation of news and installed 1.4 again from new and it worked fine.

Although, I have another, even newer problem. It seems that whenever I ask you a question, the thing starts working so I will ask about my latest worry.....

I have posted a news article as a user who does not have approval rights.

I then log on as webmaster who has all rights to everything.

I go to the edit news page, click on the article that needs approval and get a screen telling me I do not have permission...

I have posted the full details in another thread but I thought I'd ask while I had your kind attention

I give it a try
The rights to do everything.... There are 3 rights to give:
- submit / approve / view

Are you REALLY sure you've given every right available to the webmaster account ? The error you get looks like a "view rights" problem.

Don't forget that it is not just being a member of the webmaster GROUP but also being a webmaster in user management (although I do not know how this behave in 2.2.x).

Regards.

I carried on looking...

I saw version 1.42 was available.

I uploaded that. Set all the permissions etc

Now I can approve BUT the SPAW editor does not come up - just the plain old editor. Again I have checked the settings.

I am now going to trach news 1.42 and pit 1.4 back and see.

Hey, it is not that bad!

At least you were proficient enough to continue your search. I 've seen worse.

From my side a compliment and wishing you happy xoopsing!

(Note: spaw needs an microsoft OCX. Try kiovi or tiny something. those are browser "independent")
