God, you guys must be getting sick of the sound of my voice (metaphorically speaking, of course!) - but at least I ask nicely! ;)
It just occured to me that it would be nice to have a few basic alterations made to the News module:
1) When you are in News, the menu expands and shows the news topics as sub-sections within the main menu.
2) Each topic has it's own archive, or topics can perhaps be filtered from within the main archive.
3) Instead of the News module just showing the most recent news, it displays the most recent news by topic.
Maybe it's just me who would find it useful - and if so, just tell me to hide in a corner with my hands on my head. I just kind of think it would help create a "channels" feel to a XOOPS site. To be honest, I might have a try at hacking it myself - but that would mean dusting off ye olde book of PHP and having a bloody good read of the API before I can even start, so it might be easier (and about 10 years quicker!) if another dev wanted to do the honours!
Cheers,
Gareth
