Congrats to you Val :thumbsup

John, I didn't know about a lot of those links. Thanks for posting all of that. I still usually make my own by mangling the original default theme, but this will give me ideas.

Ooooooooooh, toys! That's what happened with the first one I really liked, it had tabs in Spanish perhaps. I'm installing to see what I like (better than looking at that little preview some of them have). One I really liked but it had a logo I haven't figured out how to get out yet, I found the logo in the image file but that just left me with a little red x when I reloaded. :-P
Good night fellas!
PS - I just figured out how to edit the theme.
TTFN!

Well, I've been having some fun. Would one or two of you mind quickly hitting cartenterprises.com and click through and let me know about any problems or issues you see. (Suggestions welcome too.) Thanks again for your help guys.

Val,

You have been busy, haven't you?

Other than patching up that weather module (), it looks good. I do want to point out something about your use of TinyD, though what you did will work. It appears that you used a separate copy of TinyD for each page of your site. One copy will do that. You can have multiple pages using a single copy of TinyD. You need multiple copies when you:

1. Want to have different permissions on some pages (i.e. certain pages for registered users only)
2. Want a different layout (want certain blocks to appear on some TinyD pages, but not others)
3. Want to display email and print options only on certain pages.
4. Other reasons I haven't thought of.

I can tell you that on your first xoops site, you did much better than I did.

Congratulations!

John

Hey John!
I started with one. I wanted a lot of the text to be in boxes, I like the look of the box better than the white space of the tinyd module. What I found out is my custom box didn't show up unless it was within a tinyd page. I agree there's a lot of them (7 to be exact). Did I make a wrong turn somewhere?
And yes, I don't like that weather module, I think it'll be leaving. Yours looks much better. It's supposed to default to NJ, but I keep seeing San Francisco.
Thanks for looking and giving me your thoughts.
A quick related question. Is there a way to rename the pages as one would if writing in html? So my page urls would end in .com/hosting instead of .com/modules/tinyd2?
Thanks.
