changing module variables

hi,
im pretty new to xoops. trying to change the overall look of a website made on xoops..
the question is: how can i change the module variables?

for example:
im using a news module. there, a variable named <{$pagenav}> makes a simple menu, to navigate between the news. like that: << 1 2 3 4 5 6 >>
the problem is that each page really contains 2 news. and the <{$pagenav}> is set to 5 news per page.
how can i change it?


another thing: does XOOPS give some support to make the page a xhtml 1.0 strict ( w3c ) ?


thanks,

ys

c'mon, people.. this shouldn't be a hard one =|


and about the support: looks like the modules i'm using are all full of tables! are there tableless modules?

so, there's no way i can change the variables on the XOOPS modules...? =|


i'm changing all my modules to tableless, one by one. it takes some time. just personal opinion: people should be more concearned about using the w3c patterns

I don't understand your question.

To get the pagenav to work properly, you have to pass it the right information, as shown below:

* Constructor
*
* @param   int     $total_items    Total number of items
* @param   int     $items_perpage  Number of items per page
* @param   int     $current_start  First item on the current page
* @param   string  $start_name     Name for "start" or "offset"
* @param   string  $extra_arg      Additional arguments to pass in the URL
**/
function XoopsPageNav($total_items, $items_perpage, $current_start, $start_name="start", $extra_arg="")
{

Find the place where you're instantiating XoopsPageNav (for that page). It should look like this:

$... = new XoopsPageNav(...
