I have been playing around with XOOPS for a couple of weeks but I have a major problem that I am not able to find a solution to....

I need to produce articles/news that anonomous users can read on the front page, just as the first page of Xoops.org has some articles on its first page....


I must be stupid but I have tried the builtin news, WF and Soapbox without being able to show just a list of articles on the first page for anonomous users.....

Pelase... some guidence is needed urgently.....

Set News to front page module.

Ahhhh.... thanks mate, that did the trick!

Was it possible to get that from the documentation?

I really think such a good application like XOOPS could benefit a lot with a more appropriate documentation.

No, it is not in the documentation (could be mentioned in a wiki page, I guess) but I think most of the system settings are if not self-explanatory, then at least they make sense once tried.

People are working on the documentation and I hope to see something a little more indepth than the "Visual introduction to XOOPS" from them - but alas, they are just as busy as the rest of us

Yes, I understand that people are busy.....

But I think some explanation on how group and module settings works together, combined with some tips and tricks how to make a normal site would be very useful for the newbies. I think that some of the pitholes are there for almost everybody... right?
