Hi Mick,
I have been browsing for a vent module for joomla 1.5 rc3, and have found yours

I am not sure of the intended audience, however I am running J! 1.5 RC3 and vent 3.0.0, however I have the following issues:
Backend:
The Add Modules screen is clearly not displaying as it should - I hope I am not forced to look at your advert whenever I work on *any* module (of course I dont mind seeing it when I work on *your* module!). Here is what I get:

Also the edit_module screen is also incorrect!

It appears that I am getting native html as a description ;-)
Now onto the error!
Once I enable the module, this is what I get:
"<div class="module
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: get() in /data01/natures/public_html/templates/system/html/modules.php on line 82"
This is with legacy mode turned on - so this should work on 1.5 as well!
As soon as I disable the module I can view the relevent page absolutly fine!!
These errors aside (assuming they can be worked through) I was hoping to use your code as a basis for a slight tweak - is it possible to aquire a editable version that has not been through the optimiser ? As this is for an opensource platform I would really like to see the code!
My aim was to have a module on the right hand side (see
www.enigmaguild.org) simply displaying the server status, the number of users online and providing a link to log into the server guest channel. Via a 'view more' dialouge I then wanted to open a mainbody page, showing the full vent tree view in a given module position.
Is this somthing I will be able to achieve with your mod ?
Many thanks in advance,
Mizpah
PS: I am told that the vent sever status function has not changed between 2.3.1 and 3.0.0 !!
