Hello in News module, setting tag cloud to visible in blocks, made the front site page go blank !

Xoops version 2.3.2b
News version: 1.63

Any idea, please help.

Me too. Maybe it needs a tag cloud module. Try to search for it. I set the block to invisible and no more blank page occurs.

In the release note of Instant-Zero, it said,

"Instant Zero is very happy to present you a new version of the XOOPS News module.
This new version, 1.63, introduces some bugs corrections and introduces a new functionality, Tags

Where to download the module ?
The module can be found in its homepage:
http://xoops.instant-zero.com/modules ... ory/product.php?prod_id=1

How to upgrade ?
Be sure to update the files on your server with the new one and update the module in the XOOPS modules manager.
after this, YOU MUST go in the module's preferences, at least one time, to re validate them.

Translations
Some modifications were made to the translations.
Consult the lang.diff file.

Note about the tags

- The use of tags and the generation of tags cloud are linked to the use (and of the installation) of the "Tag" module created by phppp.

YOU CAN'T USE TAGS IF THIS MODULE IS NOT INSTALLED
So you must download and install this module before to be able to use tags in the News module:

For XOOPS 2.3.x :
https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=4477

For XOOPS 2.0.x :
http://dev.xoops.org/modules/xfmod/project/?tag

Best regards,
Instant Zero"

So you must install "Tag" module.

The download link can be found here:

There's an awful lot can be said for reading readme files...

Unfortunately all this information is NOT written on the "readme.txt" included in the module, but only in the "RELEASE NOTE" of the new module. Maybe you thought this should also be written in it (I thought too), but, in fact, it is not the case.

Some XOOPS modules even have NO readme.txt or installation guideline for newbie. Starting a new website using XOOPS is not difficult. However, dealing with the problems occurred after installation of new modules (if it can be installed successfully) is PAINFUL to any XOOPS newbie.

Hope all module developers can make their masterpieces more user-friendly and can include adequate information on installation, known bugs and information for newbie in their module "zip". Sometimes, searching for release notes of specific version of modules is a hard work for newbie when they are rare in the seas of Yahoo!, Google and Xoops.org.

I did install both News Module and Tag Module, but when i made the tag could block visible, but i can't see the tag cloud block although it is set as visible in the admin - blocks.

???

robin_hood:
Did you copi the file from the news-module to the tag-module?

Look inside Your news-module
news/extra/modules/tag/plugin/news.php

That file has to be copy to the tag module
tag/plugin/news.php

Yes i did but i still can't see any tag cloud not even the block even if it is set as visible.

And You have made a News-story with tags?
Have you updated the Tag-module after moving the file?
