Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Great old module revived!
but then.. seems so scary about the legal rights and stuff.
How do we, the users of the module to protect ourself? Will adding some disclaimer to the website do the trick ?
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Well, the default message (from image remains property of owner) should do the trick. You might make this module only visible to registered users, and add in your register disclaimer that people who are connected to any of these companies may not register or they break the law...
I think if you use this module for a private website (blog, family, etc...) there won't be any problem. Think ya all smart enough to not use this module on big commercial sites. If ya want to, you might want to first knock on the comic providers door and asking for licences.
I'm using this module on my website from the moment I started developing it, and never had any problems.
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1I love comics,but I´m Spanish-speaking!!
I would like to have more comics in Spanish, for example there:
http://www.ucomics.com/comics/ -->section:Comics en Español.
----------------
at the moment I have a small module of condorito(http://ciberespia.adictoshp.org/modules/condorito/ by http://espanol.entertainment.yahoo.com/comics/condorito/chiste/index.php), but I would like that in xcomics module add:garfiel,condorito,baldo,... (of course in spanish) 
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Yeah, for spanish users this release isn't as nice for them as the previous one, however, this release allows easy editing of the comic.
For example the code for the spanish Baldo:
$xComics = New xComics();
$url_to_image = $xComics->build_image_url('1', 'be');
if(!$xComics->exists_image($url_to_image))
{
unset($url_to_image);
$xComics->back_in_time(4, '1', 'be');
} 
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Thanks very much for this module -- I've enjoyed the previous comic module you created.
I'm having a problem actually seeing the comics I've activated. What I am seeing is a red x where the comic is supposed to be, and when I look at the properties of the image, I see that the address is incorrect: file:///'http://www.myurl.org/uploads/xComics/9_to_5.gif///'
I'm sure I'm missing something in the preference settings... probably in the Output IMG field. Can someone please steer me in the right direction?
Also, the "force a dump" setting... is that so the comics can be archived on the server?
Thanks in advance,
Kristine
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Hi,
Should have added that in news message. Since XOOPS 2.0.7 (only that version) handles slashes incorrectly it won't work in that version. You will have to upgrade your XOOPS version to at least 2.0.7.1.
And indeed, force a dump does force comics to make a local copy if the comic does not do it automaticly. (Like UF & Dilbert)
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Thank you for the reply Jan...
I'm running the newest version of XOOPS (2.0.7.3), so that's not the culprit.
My settings under preferences are as follows:
Output IMG = \\\' alt=\\\'Comic: <{$comic_name}>\\\' />
Force a dump = No (Should this be set to yes?)
Thanks again for your response Jan. Hopefully I can get this configured correctly 
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1As you see Krystinevo, that output img can't be correct. Suprised on how you did get that exactly...
Remove all those backslashes so you get:

Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Hi Jan,
Before I installed the new xcomics module, I uninstalled the old comics module, and blew it off the server.
After I installed the new xcomics module, I generated the templates. Before I posted to this forum, I attempted to take out the backslashes from the Output IMG field, but it kept adding a slash between each tag.
Taking your advice, I've uninstalled and re-installed this module on two occasions (generating the templates each time), and still, I'm unable to delete the backslashes from this field. Just to clarify, the backslashes are not there when I first access the preferences, but as soon as I make any changes to that page (ie agree to the terms) it adds the backslashes to the output image.
Thanks again for your responses... sorry to be a pain,
Kristine
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Are you sure you completely upgraded to the lastest version of xoops? Since I can't understand what exactly is happening, it shouldn't happen with XOOPS 2.0.7.3...
You might apply the upgrade packet (2.0.7.x -> 2.0.7.3) again, no harm can be done, and it might help. It's really weird, because the problem you are experiencing, should be fixed in 2.0.7.
If all that doesn't help, please gimme an url to your phpinfo that is located on the server where you are trying to install xComics on. I might have overlooked something...
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1After a LOT of communication, and trying to get it working, easy solution. Re-uploaded include, class and kernel and then re-submitting setting (and removing slashes) fixed problem.
PHP can act so weird...
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Hi! I could use some help getting Foxtrot to work. I tried using the same script as the other ucomics comics, but that did not work. An example url is: http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ft/2004/ft041018.gif
Please assist.
Regards,
Ari
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Hi Ari,
Try this code:
$xComics = New xComics();
// url: http://images.ucomics.com/comics/ft/2004/ft041113.gif
$url_to_image = $xComics->build_image_url('1', 'ft');
if(!$xComics->exists_image($url_to_image))
{
unset($url_to_image);
$xComics->back_in_time('3', '1', 'ft');
} 
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1I'm trying to add Get Fuzzy. The url for the image is: http://www.comics.com/comics/getfuzzy/archive/images/getfuzzy2033285041130.gif
Jan304, could you help me figure out what the code should be?
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Hi, I am missing one great Dutch cartoon that wasn't included: Dirk Jan! :)
I know the Rotterdams Dagblad mirrors colored version of this great cartoon daily..
You can find it here:
http://www.rotterdamsdagblad.nl/dirkjan/
I would program it into the module if I had time at the moment, but I'm busy with my graduation..
Trouble getting it running?I'm getting an error about the permission set in the cash for settings.php...
Could use a little help getting this working (not that experienced in this stuff) I set the permissions for both the cash and the settings.php to 777 but that didn't change things.
I'm getting this info in the debug box

Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Hi Jan,
Thanks very much for this module. It's great!
I have a question/problem. I've tried to add a comic (Peanuts) but it doesn't rotate on a daily basis. I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong... can you give me a hint? This is what I have in the PHP code box:
$url_to_image = "http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/peanuts/archive/images/peanuts2005020928715.gif"; 
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1Love the module(s).... Thanks!
(Has anyone figured out how to make the Sinfest strip display yet?)
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1I made an update from 1.5 to 2 and am using XOOPS 2.2.x can you tell me why I am getting the following error message:
Could not get any comics... Where are they?...
I love this mod, in 1.5 I was able to add some comics (with a lot of hard work )
....
Keep up the good work.
Re: xComics 2.0 RC1I am trying to add this comic. Since I don't know how to actually code I used one of the other comics in the list and used the info from the new one to replace the data best I could.
and guess what... it's not working
here is what I have. Anyone help me with this so I know what I did wrong? Please...
Thanks
