I was worried about that -- I purposely used the same stories table in order to make it easy to switch between the two modules. But I think it might be better to use a different table name, so I will go back and modify the module soon.

Meanwhile, you can see how it works by registering at http://www.varlinux.org and looking at the site as a logged-in user.

Okay, I updated the code to use a new table name "newstories".

I also provided a migrate script (migrate.php) that should copy the contents of your stories table into the newstories table, and create a TOCID (table of contents ID) for all the stories (which is needed for the way I allow admins to order the TOC any way they want).

It can't generate URLs or authors for the stories, since you enter those when you submit a new story and they don't exist as separate fields in the existing stories table.

Just re-download the file - it should have the new code in it now.

Installing Stories
Table 'xoops_topics' already exists

Unable to install stories. Error(s):

I forgot that topics already exists, too. I'll go thorugh and rename that, too - can't do it until later today or tomorrow, though. I didn't design the module to coexist side-by-side with the news module, but I can see why someone would want it to, so I'll fix that.

Try 0.9.1 if you like. It now seems to coexist with News, except that if you use both alternately, the comments tracking (how many comments per story) will probably get out of sync, at least in the News module. Like I said, it was designed to replace the News module, not coexist with it, but now at least it won't overwrite any existing tables if you want to install both at the same time.
