using XOOPS 2.0.15 with form.php fix
newbb1 forum and also newbb1.54 (tried both)

I started with newbb1 forum then tried newbb1.54 version as it had picture upload as well

As these are relatively simple forums and easy to clone, which I need to do, there does seem to be some problem in the way they lay out the categories.

Using a bog standard version of each, when you enter 'ad categories' them 'ad forums to categories', when you set up a few first off every thing is OK.

This is until you wish to add more categories and forums later. Then the software decides to have a mind of it's own and slaps the new categories in where it feels like.

According to the control panel all the categories are in order No 1 is at No 1, No 2 as at No 2 and so on. But it's telling me lies, because when I view the forum as the public would see it, then....

No 6 is at No 1
No 4 is at No 2
No 1 is at No 3
No 7 is at No 4
No 3 is at No 5
No 10 is at No 6
No 8 is at No 7
No 9 is at No 8
No 11 is at No 9
No 12 is at No 10

It doesn't matter what I do in moving them up or down in the admin section, it is impossible to get them to move to the correct positions.

Does anyone know of or have a fix for this problem.

And the reason I am cloning the forums is that I can theme each one to their specific topics ie.. the Dogs forum has doggie pictures and navigation, the Cats forum has cats pictures and so on. Makes for a better end user experience. With this there is no problem and the clones work perfectly and I can produce a clone forum in less than five minutes, pictures take a bit longer.


And I have a module question, kill two birds with one stone 'hopefully'

Is there a picture gallery available that allows members to have their own photo album that they can either make public or private?

Only the CBB module allow to reorganize the order of the forums, but I do not know if it is easy to clone.

With xcgallery module the users can have their own album.
