ah ok. but how do we edit the spotlight module? or block?

Hi,
I am also looking for something like that. More precisely,
I have 4 News topic
[Software News], [Hardware News], [Games] & [Technology].
And i want to show 5 latest news from each topic in the main page. I looked in the forum in detail and got many threads but i am unable to do it.
If i am to edit any template file, than which file and what exactly to edit??

I m running News 1.3.11 and XOOPS 2.0.13

I dont want to have "Newsletter" thing just want to display Five Latest News from each Topic ( 2 rows & 2 columns), It will be great if i could show the Topic Icon as well, But anything close to it will also work.

I put this request in the thread HERE but was unable to get reply there.

Please help me, i want to finish everything before my studies started again.

hi.
i have come close in making something like that above.
i basically made my own file and inserted a new block and then placed the file in an iframe... then placed a javascript in xoops.js for the iframe height resize...

anyone want the codes? :)

May be someone from DEV team could have a better answer for that.
I searched in the forum and found many topics about it but every time the solution to this thing was missing.
Quoting BlueNova( from some thread)
"It’s a modified version of spotlight module and will be available in News I.3"

But i cant find anything there.

If some Dev member is seeing this thread, Please, Please, if its not possible at least you can reply so that people like me think of some alternative.

@sinus

As a dying wish i will love to use anything that is available. Will it be possible that i can have a look before using it? And secondly I m not a programmer so if u have come across something of your own, i will need your help implement it.

Hi again ,

I can just hope that someone from DEV will be able to see this thread and then might like to give a solution.
I tried everything that i could, Spotlight module & Blockies, but cant get this with any of them.

I think this can be done with a little modification of Recent News Block (1.3.11). But this is all what i think. I need to have some help here. I m a complete Noob and i dont know much PHP or HTML. Everything that i have done so far is just coz of this great community. So will someone will be kind enough to help me out there ??

[b]@sinus[/]
If u have something that could work, I guess many People will like to see. Would you post here or Should i PM you ? ?

Thankx 4 Everything
