[ks-net]

nikos written wile i was fixing those that he writes about...

@Peter
GOOD JOD   CONGRATULATIONS



page already exists... i moved it under the correct one which is
http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/IOS_Newsletter


 your page's title is not correct....
"Newsletters module" is very general... you should name the page as module name is...
the correct should be "IOSN Subscribe" or  "IOSN Subscribe module"


1- elxis-modules and elxis-components categories are for core, native mods and comps...
all other mods, bots , comps are going under the "Third-Party" comps, mobs, bots categories.

2- both pages lacks internal-linking.. this is very bad for users...it does not help them to browse the wiki...

eg..

IOS Newsletter component must be installed previously in order for this module to work. http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Ios_newsletter

IOS Newsletter component <----- link it in wiki-page or add a link to wait the page(red-links)

do not leave DEAD-END-PAGES
http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Special:DeadendPages
those pages needs links...
also look http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Special:SpecialPages  --> Maintenance reports
all these pages need work .. so try not your pages listed in those  in  --> Maintenance reports

find any text that can help people to browse and start linking

a good example about internal-linking is this page http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Quick-Guide_Add_Content


3- do not assign nothing in categories 2008.1 2009.0 2009.1 etc... browse those categories to see what special-staff goes there... in the other hand assign mods comps etc..  to all elxis-versions is totally useless ...
99.999% all staff goes to all cats... so what the meaning to make a category that contains all staff .. you will only  get a list with all pages a list that helps none!

i have made from the begging a special wiki-template that have two purposes
http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/Template:Compatibility
purpose 1-
help visitor to find basic info about extensions
purpose 2 -
this tpl is ideal for future-listing in a page that will short mods, comps or bots by their license author elxis version etc....
in future i will do this ... lets first collect some wiki-pages and i will do!

i will add this wiki-tpl to stavros module to see it in action 

you might think that this tpl will only show staff... NO can pass data to other shortable-lists or make table with statistics and many other....
we will see it in future

for now if you deside to add some extra info to your extensions the better way is this tpl

Other possible problems

This error message means that there is a problem with the directory or folder permissions.
one more...
Directory or Folders on the web server should have permission settings of 755.

Please check the permissions for this folder and sub-folders.

    \administrator\components\com_newsletter\
    And if you use the IOSN Module
    \modules\mod_iosn_subscribe\

If you continue to have problems, please visit the Elxis Wiki and/or Forum.

this is not true... none should touch permissions in ios newsletters...some dirs  and files have 777  uppon component's installation... should stay as is
Unless you use cgi/fgci/suphp only then have to fix them!
