Our site recently has undergone a new theme makeover completely styled in CSS. The theme is completely dynamic and scales well for all block configurations. With CSS we can simply create a newly styled theme by changing the CSS style sheet with out a need to change the .html template file. Keep an eye out for new layout designs coming.

Troubleshooting the "Could not insert forum post" error in Xoops

I've seen the "Could not insert forum post" error reported on the Xoops forums quite a few times over the years, but never gave it too much thought as I had never experienced the problem myself first hand and the number of reported cases where still relatively small compared to the number of people using the NewBB/CBB forums. Last week however that changed, and I started getting the "Could not insert forum post" error upon submitting any post to my forums. At first I checked my firewall settings to ensure HTTP_REFERRER information was not being blocked, and then performed a CHECK and REPAIR on the Xoops MySQL database as I had seen suggested in the forums. Unfortunately neither of these solved the problem which meant I had to go digging, the results of which I wrote into an article called Troubleshooting the "Could not insert forum post" error in Xoops.

PC World Denmark XOOPSified

Resized ImageJust four months after the quite successful launch of http://www.computerworld.dk another site from IDG Denmark is relaunched using XOOPS.

The site this time is http://www.pcworld.dk - the website for the Danish PC magazine PC World (which is unrelated to the UK based hardware vendor with the same name).

The site is just like computerworld.dk focused on grouping and displaying articles, but where computerworld.dk works without categories, but instead join articles together in sections from one or more keywords, the PC World articles are grouped in conventional categories - that of course control the banner ads.

The articles module used is the one built for computerworld.dk, but with some added features, the main ones being the aforementioned categories and linking articles to products with price information being pulled from http://www.gate2prices.dk - a Danish site for price comparisons on hardware and software. The products can also be given a rating by the journalist as well as by the users - although the latter still needs some work.

We are still on a mostly-2.2.3 base with some additional hacks, namely a more granular page awareness (still not pretty, but functional) and the ability to cache blocks individually by URL, since many of them change contents depending on which other content is on the page. This has raised the number of cache files, but the benefits outweigh this.

Finally, pcworld.dk features a conventional downloads section, which is an early WFDownloads 3.0 with some modifications - mainly cutting away a large chunk of the information and a completely new front page.

The site is completely in Danish, but check it out and see if you can find something interesting.

The Galilee Project - Xoops for Charity

>> http://www.galileeschool.org

Galilee Primary School and Waddington High School are located in the Kayole-Soweto slum area of Nairobi, Kenya. Over 1000 students attend school on the campus. Many of these children are orphans, all live in extremely needy circumstances. Our mission is to create opportunities for children living in the slums of Nairobi to receive an education and improve their quality of life. This is being accomplished through:

* Child Sponsorship
* Special Projects to improve the educational environment and infrastructure of the schools
* Addressing the needs of improved health and nutrition to enhance the learning potential of students
* Providing adequate funding to support a stable and qualified teaching staff

The recently relaunched website is powered by xoops. It uses a heavily modified theme, with the right center block being relocated to the top. In this block, you will find drop down menus that change depending on what part of the site you are in.

Also, we used a heavily adapted version of the MyAlbum gallery to create a database of children that are looking for sponsors. Lastly, there is an Online Shop powered by Zen Cart.

Check it out, any comments, suggestions or questions are welcome!
