A few questions. (Regarding index.php, and WF-Sections.)

Heya!
I've just started on Xoops.org about a week or less now. I've been busy cusomising my own template and stuff, and I have run into a few questions.

1# I've noticed on some peoples, XOOPS sites, they can get news to be displayed on the front page, I have tried and tried, to get it to display, but all I get is a link to it.
I was wondering if WF-Sections supposrts like a "Newly Submitted Articles or something I could put on there?

2# If that is done by Soapbox, then how can I download it. Every time I try to download it fromhttp://dev.xoops.org/modules/xfmod/project/showfiles.php?group_id=1020&release_id=30&dl=43.
I get a weird page, one of those search engine pages. I was wondering, if there is anywhere to get it?

3# How do you get sections to display in your WF-Sections bar, I can make the articles appear on spotlight, but the catogory itself, does'nt show up. even when I click, add to main menu when modifying it. is it a bug? Or my plain stupidity.

4# Where can I find a WEB BLOG mod?, where users can have their own web journal, and upload entries, and such. =/ There are others like popnupblog, but reqires the admin to create accounts.

5# Is there a Classifcations/Personals Mod around here? If so, I would be willing to buy it.

6# My website is athttp://www.symbiotic-online.com/bra.php

(bra.php is just for the temp being.)
Have a look, tell me what you think.
PS: MAC users will have problems viewing the site, beacause I hav'nt updated the mac CSS file.

Xoops Administration ---> Preferences ---> General Settings ---> Module for your start page: News

does not work?

Huh? There is a bug that makes it difficult to remove categories from main menu not otherwise round.

But you could also turn on the block 'WF-Section Menu' which will give a list of categories. Also some bugfixing has been done for the next release.

Not my interest so have nothing on this for you

Don´t know any but if you are willing to pay for it maybe someone from the coders around here will pick the offer.
Maybe you should make a separate thread for that if you think someone might be interested which i guess depends on what you exactly need and how much payment there is.

If needed i could have a look at your wf-section problem.
Thus it would require admin access for that time you can contact me by pm if you want to.



Btw: i like that skin

Re: A few questions. (Regarding index.php, and WF-Sections.)

Hey.
Thanks for the help, really did help.
1# I got the sections to show up as a menu. But when you click on the catogorys, it redirects to index.php of the wfsections folder.
Here is my site:
http://www.symbiotic-online.com/bra.php
I don't know what the difference between, the section called "My Expressions" on the menu:http://www.symbiotic-online.com/modules/wfsection/index.php?category=9 (Which redirects...)
and "My Experinces, as a link of a spotlight":
http://www.symbiotic-online.com/modules/wfsection/viewarticles.php?category=1

So confused!

2# Also, is there a way of limiting the spotlight on the page? To a certain number of characters?

3# Is there a way to make another "spotlight" coloum for a section you've made up?
For example, you have a main page. You have a Games, and Movies section. Any recent articles in those sections disply in the index.php of the site.

Thanks so much for the help, appricate the help.
Thank you for the compliment on the layout, took me a bit to figure it out!

Well you might probably want to have a look over to the wf-website (http://wfsections.xoops2.com )

You will find quite some specific stuff in the forum there for example a (not complete yet) list of the known issues with the actual release.

Back to your questions:

#1 is a known bug:

Quote:
Description: Selection of any topic will bring you just back to the index

Workaround: (by frankblack) replace in blocks/wfs_topics.php line 40
$jump = WFS_ROOT_URL."/index.php?";
against
$jump = WFS_ROOT_URL."/viewarticles.php?";


Discussion: bug in blocks/wfs_topics.php + workaround

Status: Fixed in the next release



#2: No thats not possible. Except for coding it yourself at the moment.

#3: No, at the moment you can only select if an article gets spotlighted or not but not limit it to specific sections.

You could add #2 + #3 to the feature requests if you want to.

Hmmm.. it's not doing it.
Maybe it's just cache. But it's not refreshing. hmm..

Try manually deleting the stuff in templates_c directory (except for index.php). If that doesn´t help try updating the module in system administration.

I have started using the XOOPS weBlog module. It's GREAT! I highly recommend it. Especially when you also install the supplementary weBlogRPC module. I can't find the link to the RPC module right now ... but when it's installed, and you follow the directions, you can blog using the w.bloggar tool. It's fantastic! There are a few bugs (I'm having trouble with weBlog picking up the category selected in w.bloggar), but overall it's worth the download!
