Boox is great, especially if you want to give your clients a way to edit blocks without giving them block admin rights, you just need to give them admin rights for Boox.
By default, Boox block content is stored in a file in the Xoops uploads folder. This file has the same name as the Boox block title, e.g. 'welcomeblock' (no file extension). The file can store any HTML code entered using the editor.
You can easily use Boox in a regular Xoops block, simply by setting the block type as 'PHP Script' and adding the path to the file, e.g.
include_onceĀ '/var/www/example.com/httpdocs/uploads/welcomeblock';
The only downside is, if you try to create a new block online, most Apache servers will create the block file with the owner as 'Apache', which means you cannot then edit the block content in Boox. However, if you build the site on your localhost PC first and then upload everything, you can edit the blocks online, because Apache will use your own user ID when the files are uploaded via FTP.
That's the way I use it and it's fine.
I don't want my site operators anywhere near Xoops admin, so this is one of my favourite modules.
