Very impressed with XOOPS and the Content module, but I found the version of FCK editor lacking in some areas. I also wanted multiple Content modules, that could share the same upload folder.
So I have replaced FCK editor with the version from
http://mcpuk.net/fbxp/?page=home(the File Browser Extension Project)
This version has much better file upload handling, it allows for deleting files from the server and has some decent graphics. I've added a .zip icon as well as making changes to allow multiple editors to share the same file upload folders.
The Content Module is now 'cloned'. Rather than changing the code to allow multiple modules to exist together, I've just renamed many variables and constants with a suffix _01. Just change _01 everywhere to _02, _03 etc. to make multiple 'clones'. There are about 170 suffixes, 1 folder and 4 files. Also change the table name in sql.mysql
I would recommend a text editor that can do search and replace across multiple files, like Dreamweaver. Then it's all very straightforward.
I also changed system_blocks.php, so the content menus are not included in the main menu.
I've put my hacked Content module (2 'clones') and sundry other files in a .zip:

If anyone want to see what I've used this for, heres our site (still under development)

Hope this is all useful to someone else!
