content management module for Joomla 1.0.x www.joomla.org

from http://www.diebesteallerzeiten.de/module.html

see this thread in the forum: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,36326.msg201327.html#msg201327and here: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,498/Itemid,35/
"This modules allows for publishing content items or articles in areas other than mainBody(). Choose if you want to display a single item, all items from a category, all items from a section, or a number of content items/categories/sections specified by a comma separated list of ids. Simply enter the content item ID in the module's parameters field, assign a position to the module, and publish it. You can copy the module and assign a different name, position and contentitem id to the copy. Also includeds a "Read more" link option. With the "merge items" option you can merge multiple content items (/categories/sections) into one document for print and pdf. It will also create a table of contents for merged items (if you want to)."
Note: I managed to delete my own copies of the module an had to restore from a not to recent backup. Shouldn't be a problem, but means this is currently an untested version (2007/07/11). (Tested and it works fine (2007/18/07) )

yourbrowser2. at first it will create a backup of the old tables3. second you
must uninstall the old component manually4. at point 3 of the script you must
install the new component manually5. at the last point the old tables will be
migrated to the new tables and the old ones will be deleted6. after successfull
update delete the file upgrade_to_version2.phpUpdate from version
2.0.x:!!!ATTENTION!!!In case of data loss or errors in my script I don't take

CB -> PMS integration

How to configure CB with a PMS
Contributed by Nick A.
Wednesday, 13 September 2006
Last Updated Wednesday, 13 September 2006
Step 1. Install and configure your (CB compatible) PMS component (e.g., UDDEIM)
Step 2. Goto CB Plugin Managemen backend and make sure the PMS MyPMS and Pro plugin (or another extra plugin
has been installed and) is published (public) and the correct PMS Component Type is selected from the plugin parameter
list
Step 3. Goto CB Tab Management and make sure the Quick Message Tab is published

This 3 steps above should integrate the CB Component with your PMS (CB compatible) component. You can also
configure various CB Login module parameters to work with your PMS component.

Hope this helps.
