A group of programmers and teachers have been working in the Intraweb project for some time. The aim of this project is to make a powerful communicational system for schools which at the same time offer teachers and students some utilities that make easy working with Information Technologies. The result of our work is an intranet ideal for schools, that can be used in other areas, and it is based on PostNuke. A lot of schools in Catalonia are using this intranet.
With the imminent publication of version 0.8 of PostNuke we have decided to check, improve and adapt all our modules to this new version and, at the same time give more diffusion to our work. So you are invited to visit our website (in catalan). In this moment we have 15 modules that work correctly with version 0.764 of PostNuke and we have 4 modules adapted to 0.8 version. There is a website were you can test them (in English). These modules are:
- iw_moodle: It allows to integrate Moodle (versions 1.8.x) into the PostNuke (version 0.8) with single sign on between the two programs.
- iw_vhmenu: It makes possible to create a vertical or horizontal menu with a lot of configurable options. At the same time it is possible to choose the groups that are going to see the different menu items.
- iw_webbox: With this module it is possible to show any HTML content into the web. In this link there is an example.
- iw_main: It contains some functions and variables that are used in the Intraweb modules.
Very soon we are going to have a new module available for the version 0.8, but I'll explain this in some days.

nice work !
i just have one question, why iw_vhmenu is a module and not simply a block ?

For 0.8 blocks are implemented as simple modules.

Thank you.
The module iw_vhmenu has a powerfull administration panel so we have made it as a Module.

Congrats Albert!
Abour iw_vhmenu:
Sometimes, this navigation menus has a lot of customizable stuff, and a module is a good container to all the templates and styles available for the block.
Also, it's easy to add and remove of the system.
