Xoops Users Group in Houston Texas

I've noticed that there are a number of members on Xoops.org with a location in Texas. So, I'm willing to act as a "coordinator" to put together an in-person "users group" for Xoops in the Lone Star State.

If you are interested in helping to form the group, or would just like to participate once it's going, please leave me a private mail here, or use my e-mail address (below) to contact me directly.

I know that if you are like me, having a person you can call and/or visit with can provide that old "two heads are better than one" helpfulness. If there are enough of us interested in this neck of the woods, we can put together a discussion forum on one or more of our sites, or on google groups or somewhere, and have regular get-togethers and/or online chat and phone trees.

Just an idea. If you are interested, drop me a line!

Classifieds 1.0 Final Released

This version is 1.0 like I said I was going to renumber this version. For those that don't know, I have never released a Classified Ads Module so I decided it should be 1.0 and not 3.0 I hope this prevents any confusion.

You don't need to use the upgrade script if upgrading from 1.0_RC3. Although it couldn't hurt. Remember you must be logged in as an administrator to use the upgrade script.

Features : User Side

Xoops Notifications : Users can select to be notified if a listing is added in any category(whole module) or get notifications in just certain categories(category).
A Sorting System : Users can sort the listings by date DESC, date ASC, price DESC, price ASC, title DESC, title ASC, hits DESC, hits ASC.
A Rating System : Users can rate the user who is selling the product and also rate the product.
The Pictures are different too : I have taken the guts from the Yogurt module and added them to this module. Now you can choose how many pictures users can upload and you can have different amounts for Premium and Non-Premium users.
Has a page for users to see all ads by 'this user'
Users can see all the Ads by another user, and the owner of the ads can administer their Ads from that page.
Users can choose how to be contacted
Users can select to be contacted by email, PM, telephone or any combination of those
Users can print out the Ad.
Users can send an Ad to a friend.
Users can see replies to their ads on the members.php page

Features : Admin Side

Has Xoops Group Permissions, per category - per group
Clonable : There are only 6 steps to do manually and the module will be cloned, with no errors
Many config items added change them in the modules preferences.

Installation

How to install : You will need to make the following folders writable(chmod 777) :

classifieds/photo
classifieds/photo/thumbs
classifieds/photo/midsize

Unzip the file Classifieds_1.0.zip
Upload the folder classifieds to your Xoops modules folder
If you want to rename the module do it now, you can't change it after you install the module
Go to Xoops Module Administration and install like normal
Go to Ads Module administration and click on category maintenance, create your categories
Go to Ads Module administration and click on Permissions and set up the following for each category
View Ads Permissions - Select which groups can view Ads
Ads Submit Permissions - Select which groups can submit Ads
Ads Premium - Select which groups can set how long an ad will stay on the site until it is deleted. If they don't have permission it will default to whatever you set in the Ads Module preferences (default is 14 days)
Go to Ads Module administration and click on Preferences and set to your liking

That should be it.

Upgrading

Back up your database
Overwrite the classifieds module with the new files
Point your browser to yoursite/modules/classifieds/admin/upgrade.php, you must be admin to run this script
Update module
Delete the files below if they exist
a. include/preferences.inc.php
b. include/pictureform.inc.php
c. admin/admin.php
d. editdesc2.php

That should be it.

If you need any help just ask me.

Temple Of The Jedi Force

The Temple Of The Jedi Force is a religious community united in our mutual quest for understanding of the universe which we inhabit and the primal Force that set all creation in motion. Known by many names, the Force of Creation takes the shape of the divine and the spark of the divine within all living things. We do not discriminate based on race, color, sex, or religious creed. All are welcome as long as they have an open mind and share the communities belief in a Force or Universal Power that is the source for all of creation.

We are a community united in using our powers, mental, physical, spiritual and mystical for the good of ourselves and others. Our goal is to educate and instruct seekers of truth and knowledge in the mysteries of Jediism and how all religions relate to it's teachings. So that followers of this philosophy my find greater joy and self mastery in their lives. We share a path of enlightenment and seek to use said powers in a quest to understand our connection to the universe and each and every living thing in it. We are not role-playing the Jedi you have seen in Star Wars but are Real Jedi, in this Galaxy, in this Universe.

Jediism is both an old and new religion; we did the same thing that religions have done for thousands of years … we assimilated spiritual teachings from other and ancient faiths. Christianity, Humanism, Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Mysticism, as well as the honorable martial art’s philosophies; this spiritual mixture is potent. We call this fusion“ Jediism”. Please join us in our quest for understand and enlightenment.
