What does this Mod do ?
It will create a new Page with Boxes on it. Those boxes can contains a lot of Informations. All the text can displayed in languages you like.

How does it works ?
Each box is an XML file filled with all the data.
Nope, NOT only text - there're also database queries. The output could be formated, the columns of the boxes are generated by the XML.


FAQ:
Is it a portal ?
No, it isn't. It was meant to something different. To create an overview of the best players in? whatever.
Can I determine where the boxes are ?
Yes and no. There is an option to give each box a unique "sortorder". With it you can set the box on place ... Also you can disabled those option - the boxes will shown in order they "readed".
SQL Queries ?
Yes of course - it won't work without it. Normaly 1 query for each box (in addition, it depends always on which you would like to show).
How to create a XML ?
All those XML files are own creations. It's XML standard but the evalation it's own. I've tried to explain the XML in the READ.ME. But if you have any questions, don't worry, try to ask me.
P.S. deutschen Support gibt es auch bei your-vb

I think yes. You have to know the databasetable(s).
Simply write an XML - upload it - and if all correct it will shows you the box.

I'm looking for something like this. Can there be just 1 box that takes up the whole page ? Does there have to be an SQL query ?

I am looking for a Hall of Fame type addition that will allow me to enter the data by myself. The list wont be related in way to to information about the user in the DB or their posting activities. The ability to create an XML file with the data is very appealing.

The other requirement I have is that it would be great if the table could be sortable by clicking on a particular column, much like the "Who's online" page currently is.
