Ok, I see; I was talking about the center block.
Another thing, it would be nice to have titles added to the column heading in the center block ( custom titles).

To have the option to run multiheadlines from a seperate database to phpnuke

Why? Why such an option?

Indeed database is getting bigger because of multiheadlines_news table but so will be with the other database too.

My concern is if I had say 50 feeds it may be wise to spread the load to a database on another server.
I don’t know of any facts to say that amount of feeds would slow the site, I just think it could possibly become an issue with a slow or unfriendly host.

I think most of the hosts doesn't allow to remotely access the database [only localhost].

So even if you make another database into another host, that can be accessed only from there.

My host uses different servers for the databases

Ok, after installtion and translation I think I have seen most of it.
Cool stuff, greate work!

Here are my suggestions. Its all cosmetics!

- category pictures should be optional
-all links with pictures should have no border (CSS)
- the UI should be revised, Buttons, Infos to User, divide action and information
- the info in the categories show the age of the info, there is no lang info for that
- "search" Button in module has no lang info
- some td's are "center" thier content is "left"
- some question in database mgmt have "?" in the code

What happen if a site is offline is there a timeout or something?

... some more things

Editing of categories ans subcategories is somewhat difficult. You always need to know the ID of the category or subcategory. A dropdown box for main and/or sub cat. would help alot.

Are there plans for a module admin part. This would help delegating work to others.

Thx

Can you give me more details on this?

you mean the "h" , "min" and "sec"?

Quote:

"search" Button in module has no lang info

Yes, thanks. Actually there is one string there that can be deleted: "ago".

Quote:

some td's are "center" thier content is "left"

Which ones? Where?

Quote:

Please be more specific I don't understand this?

Nothing happens. The refreshments will be done to the next site in the queue[indeed with a certain delay...].
That's why I made the statistics part from MH admin panel: people should analize that carefully to set the refreshment time properlly [not too often] at the right time with every rss url.
But yes this is a good point, maybe I should limit the timeout time from a request to another site.

Thanks for your feedbacks, really.

Yes I'll do that, easily. I thought about that myself too.

I don't know, nobody said nothing about this. But I'll consider this too.

Yes they are, I meant the RSS URL pic.

Quote:

<img border=0 ...
otherwise I end up with a visited link color around the pic

For example: RSS URL Mgmt.
All action should show first in opentable() ... closetable(). The same for the conent of that part.
The content in that part of the mgmt. is the list of submitted and active urls. This should be at the buttom of this part.
Headlines or better the names of the differnet parts should be center and bold. Else nomal font.
The "back" link should always have the same position (centered) at the buttom. This would be a single tranlation and also focus the messages on the action or error.
<img alt="... should also have a lang string.

Both of the above could be merged to something like "age of the info"

Quote:

Which ones? Where?
RSS URL Mgmt., both tables
Stats and Info, some tables

Quote:

Database Operations -> Delete Site -> safety question. You display the lang string and then the value and then a question mark.
Same with other question in that part. Here it would be best to display the question (center) then the value in the next line and the the choise.

Logos will be optional in the next release, this is a fact.

Hmmm this is funny. I can't see any border: I'm using IE6, Opera 8.5, Firefox 1.5, Netscape 8 [but it can be done].

Why? This is have something to do with the german translation? I mean in german you can't put the "ago" part after the period of time or something like that? I encountered myself this problem when I made some translation from english to my language.

I guess here is the same problem. Isn't it?

Only the head of the table is centered.

Yes it could be like this...but I guess this is more about the taste rather then functionality.

Maybe you have it set in your site ".css". All images in the Nuke Admin panel have "0" borders, as soon as I enter the MH admin panel they do. I found the cause here "function MainMultiHeadlines" all links have no border attr. -> default border is displayed. I can do this my self, I just want to give the info since other modules dont do this.

Yes, but also for other translations. Sometimes it is better to have a lang string before and after the value but this would be to much I guess.

To get to the core you have to answer the following question. What information is displayed here? It is the age of this particular news feed in the system. Hence, "recieved XX:XX ago" should be displayed.
Maybe it is a good idea to have a config for the time/date format for this information, so our friends on the other side of the Atlantic can use this module to.

It would also be cool to config the displayed information itself.
At the moment it is the age of the particular feed. Another information (XOR) could be the time when the particular feed was recieved. Hence, "recieved at XX:XX"

I see it as structuring the displayed information somewhat better. Yes, if more structured (focused) translation would be easier.

Yes, but a centered head and left oriented content is hard to read sometimes. Of course if you are a core use it is fine, because you know already what info is shown.

I agree on the functionality, because the system does what it is suppose to do.

Now after a few days it is easyfore me to use the system. I was thinking of users that might be some "content admins" and just have to process RSS submissions, etc. and therefore must use a module admin UI panel.

Yes it's true but sometimes it's not...

In the next release admins will be able to chose betwen types of dates: as it is now "XXh XXm XXs ago" or date types...

Oh, common man, don't underestimate them. How hard can be to understand?

Every table has borders so I guess this isn't really an issue.

About the "borders" I still can't see the borders you are talking about.
The .css is comming through the theme of site. Changed the theme many times still no border. Maybe is related to older versions of browser, ......but......hey ........I understand what you are saying.

how about having the logo and category images in the nuke themes
