I've used 1.00 on other sites. Now, I'm working with 2.0RC. Overall pretty good, but there are some errors, bugs and some other frustrations. While I'm not yet ready to provide a full review here, you are certainly welcome to peruse my notes on the Article module. I'm using it on a new site I'm working on.

As to the problem with the category delete function and deleting categories in the Article module, it's a simple fix: in class/category.php, uncomment line 44:
$this->table art_DB_prefix("category");

Worked for me, at least, but can't tell you if that affects anything else, but I don't believe it would.

Does anyone know how to stop the date and time from showing on the main page beside the article link names?

You can change the smarty template for that and just remove the date/time portion. Or am I missing something?

If the dates are in a named div, you could also add a display:none; in the CSS file.

Yes, the management of templates is in the administration area. I would highly recommend using GIJoe's AltSys module as it's a bit easier to make changes with. I've got notes on implementing it in the forums. It makes management, development, and changes to system templates much easier (as well blocks, too).

Let me know if that isn't clear enough.

FYI, in case it's not clear, one of XOOPS' early strengths was its adoption of the presentation layer separated from the functional, computational layer. The data is passed to a Smarty Template and then the data is presented with the HTML in the template using data tags in the template. Even if you don't know Smarty inside and out, it's pretty easy to change what you are looking for if you know HTML, because it's essentially just HTML with some embedded data tags.

Clear as mud?
