The XOOPS development team is pleased to announce the release of XOOPS 2.3.0 Alpha.

The objective of XOOPS 2.3 releases is to merge the two existent branches of 2.0 and 2.2 and to build a bridge towards our next generation of system XOOPS 3.0.

With XOOPS 2.3 releases, users will be able to learn some of new features that will be available in XOOPS 3.0, while developers can understand better the direction of XOOPS development, and designers can learn what features will be supported in the future.

Both backward and forward compatibility will be guaranteed as much as possible. Modules written for 2.0.* and 2.2.* will work with 2.3; applications developed for 2.3 will be compatible with XOOPS 3.0 automatically.

Developers are encouraged to write their application modules on XOOPS 2.3 so they can incorporate some of the new features and ensure easy migration to XOOPS 3.0.

Download XOOPS 2.3.0 packages from Sourceforge.
More details from Changelog.

Nearly four years ago I downloaded Xoops for the first time and immediately fell in love with this CMS. It's easy to setup, easy to use, and very versatile.

Almost two years ago I posted this article showing how the CMS could be used to create and manage an online gaming team.

Here's an old screenshot from way back when we only had 3 gamers on Team Slacker...

































Now we're 100 gamers strong and have moved from BornSlacker.com to SGN (Slacker Gaming Network) we're partnered with several other gaming sites including the multipayernetwork.com.

We're happy to call this new site our home and even happier with how xoops has worked for us over the years.

Thanks to all the developers and the Xoops community!!! And if you happen to be a gamer stop by and say what's up, maybe hop in game for a few rounds. (COD4 is our flavor of the month )

Here's a current screenshot...

For most users of XOOPS, using the standard XOOPS Text Editor is not something they enjoy, especially when they are beginners. TinyMCE is more user friendly, so this tutorial will show the way to install it as a replacement of the default editor of XOOPS

1) Download the TinyMCE files from here

2) Having done so, copy the content of the folder to your main XOOPS directory.

3) Now we need to enable the TinyMCE editor

BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE, PLEASE BACKUP THE FILE:

/class/xoopsform/formdhtmltextarea.php

To make it work, now simply edit the original file:

class/xoopsform/formdhtmltextarea.php

on around line 74 from this:

    var $htmlEditor = array(); Var $htmlEditor = array ();

to this:

 var $htmlEditor = array('XoopsFormTinymce', '/class/xoopseditor/tinymce/formtinymce.php');


After saving the file, the installation is now successfully completed.

Remember to do the change again, if you update/upgrade XOOPS to a new version.

Please see the original tutorial in Portuguese here

This is a simple yet stylish theme based on the default xoops theme, but using CSS rather than table-based layout.

You can download it from my site at Inspiration Web Design



The colour scheme is green. Since all widths are specified using percentages the view will automatically adapt itself to the screen resolution.

You can view an example page here.

The theme has been tested in Internet Explorer, Opera and Firefox. It has been designed for Xoops version 2, so may not be backwards compatible.

XOOPS 3.0 to support exclusively PHP5+



This is to announce that starting with XOOPS 3.0, we'll be supporting exclusively PHP 5.2 and up.

The XOOPS 2.3 will be our last release series supporting PHP4.

There are several reasons for doing this:

1) we have limited resources, so it's hard to keep maintaining two different platforms.

I always have problem with the text in the description area of xcgal module, if you write a long description and do not take care of the breal lines your ouput text will result in a long text line, so I modify the template xcgal_display.html and around the line #29 look for a code like this:

<td align="center" class="odd" height="100" style="white-space: nowrap; padding: 0px;">
and proceed to change to this one:
<td align="center" class="odd" height="100" style="white-space: wrap; padding: 0px;">

As you see we change the nowrap for wrap, that makes the trick at least in my case, hope it will solve the problem for another xooper

Xcgal users will be familiar with the "Upload more pictures" function which allows up to four pictures to be uploaded in one go and will know about xcgal's "click on a keyword" search function which locates all pictures having the chosen keyword. Keywords are therefore a really important tool for xcgal users.

Unfortunately, users will also know that keywords cannot be entered for pictures uploaded using the "Upload more pictures" function - they can only be added by editing the picture later.

...... until now

I've amended two xcgal files (db_input.php and xcgal_uploadmore.html) to allow keywords to be entered using the "Upload more pictures" function and the time of upload.

I've packed the amended files and their (renamed originals - it will be obvious!!) into this zip file.

Hope it is useful.

The Web design team Bertholdo Consultoria from Brazil developed two beautiful Websites using XOOPS. Both of them are very creative and show that with the right mixture of talent and creativity, sky is the limit for XOOPS Developers.
To be honest, I would never know that they are made in XOOPS, because they look so un-XOOPS

But exactly because of that, they are a true inspiration for XOOPS developers to test the limits in their designs and creativity, and go beyond the typical boxy look and feel.

Congratulations to the designers!!! It is people like them who are showing the true power of XOOPS and its limitless capabilities!

And now the Websites:

We've learned recently that CHIP, the leading computer magazine in Germany, has placed XOOPS on its Download list, and gave it 5/5 stars.

In the summary they wrote: If you would like to develop a larger Web-project, you won't be able to do it without a CMS software. With XOOPS you have a powerful tool to achieve it.

We are definitely very proud of this positive feedback about XOOPS from CHIP. It is exciting for us to see that leading computers magazines are finally taking notice of XOOPS. With our new "Communication Team" taking shape, we hope to have more of these positive news in the future.

Not many people know that in December 2007 XOOPS received the 2007 INFO Award in the CMS category.



Congratulations to all XOOPS developers in Brazil!!!!

Quote:

SÃO PAULO - In the area of corporate software, three products are highlighted in the INFO 2007 Awards: Netweaver by SAP; Delphi for PHP by Borland, and XOOPS by the XOOPS [community].
An application for business intelligence and application server, Netweaver won 46% of the votes of readers of the INFO Business Intelligence category. According to Gartner, SAP, the developer of Netweaver, is a world leader in CRM (25.7% of the market), ERP (27% of the market) and in supply chain, with 19.7% of the market.

The integrated development environment for PHP Delphi by Borland, is another product winner. With 53% of the readers voting for it in the Development category. The software is the combination of two names that strong existed in the market. It combines the working methods of Delphi, one of tools favorite of programmers, with PHP, the leading language for developing dynamic websites.

Delphi for PHP provides for the creation of applications for the web with features and functions similar to what it does on the desktop. Jose Rubens Tocci, president of Borland for Latin America, states when Delphi for PHP was launched this year it won instant success in Brazil and its acceptance surprised even the team's local subsidiary.

Among the dozens of CMS (content management systems) available on the market, one of the highlights is the XOOPS, an open source program produced by the XOOPS [community]. The readers of INFO recognized this, devoting 37% of the votes to the product in the CMS category.
According to Gilberto Galdino of XOOPSTotal, one of the groups of developing the tool in Brazil, the XOOPS community in Brazil is the second largest world (behind only the French) and has made major contribution in product development.

XOOPS Norway, the Website providing support for Norwegian users of XOOPS has been reopened with an updated look and improved structure.

Rune and earplane did a great job bringing the Website up to date, and supporting Norwegian users in the past.

Not everybody speaks English well enough to take advantage of our main site here, therefore it is so important to have these local support sites. And since it is never enough to thank all the people who support XOOPS users in their native languages, we would like to use this opportunity to do just that - to Rune, Earplane, and all the other XOOPS community members who support XOOPS users around the world - a BIG THANK YOU!!!!

The list of XOOPS local support Websites is long, but if you're missing your native language among them, please let us know.

And if you would like to start a new XOOPS support site, please let us know - we are always happy to see XOOPS being represented in new countries.

WF-Channel V2.01

What is WF-Channel?
WF-Channel aims to be as simple as possible, while providing a powerful tool to aid a webmaster in webpage creation. This module is not a replacement for a dedicated article management system, but more a supplement of these other tools and should be treated as such.

Where WF-Channel excels is its ease of use. Every area is well explained with helpful dialog and streamlined admin interface. Whether you just wish to put up one or two webpage’s or more, WF-Channel will make things simple for you.

What’s New in V2.01?
WF-Channel v2 has been written from the ground up, we feel more secure than any other previous versions and we aim to provide patches quickly if required. WF-Channel uses some caching techniques to help reduce strain on servers, like reducing SQL queries, PDF caching and more.

The admin area has been totally redesigned to make working easier and quicker than before. Every item within the admin area is only one click away, which means less work for you in the long run.

Many of the new features may not be apparent straight away, such as mass deletion, cloning and updating of pages and all from the main admin page. You will find this and many more changes like this within WF-Channel.

Every part of WF-Channel front-end is configurable, you choose to display which parts you want your customers to see.

Here is a list of some of the new items within WF-Channel:
1. All code completely rewritten from the ground up,
2. Admin interface completely redesigned for ease of use,
3. Mass updating, deletion and cloning of pages,
4. Almost every item has a helpful hint on its workings,
5. Should be compatible with all versions of Xoops,
6. Supports many text editor,
7. Import HTML and text documents from anywhere on your server,
8. Supports printable and PDF (cached) version of all pages
9. Supports sociable book marking sites
10. Refer page with logs of who has referred who to your website,
11. Anti spamming techniques to stop spammers sending email via your refer pages,
12. Supports a linkable images and text for users to place on their own website,
13. Massive amount of support via WF-Project website,
14. Easily upgradeable from earlier versions,
15. And loads loads more…..

What we are planning for future versions:
1. Mass import of html and text documents,
2. XML support,
3. Trusted path support,
4. Extensive documentation/help files
5. More to be added by user request!

We urge all WF-Channel users to update to this version.

Due to the fact that WICS is an international society, the website content has to be available in several languages. The website content is actually available in arabic, english, french, spanish and housa ( african language ).

Arabic interface is completed now and other interfaces are under construction.



Varity of modules are mainly used in our website, it involve: news, smartsection, mastop_go2, extcal, booklists and addresses module.

Published every eight weeks, the Edge is a free publication that contains original content geared towards informing, enlightening, and inspiring web designers and developers.

In the April addition addition they provided an overview of five of the top open source software (OSS) solutions: CMS Made Simple, Drupal, Joomla!, WordPress, and XOOPS.

It is already an honor to be named as one of the top five Open Source CMS solutions. But what's even better - they selected XOOPS as one of the best three for building an e-commerce site, together with Drupal, and Joomla!

XOOPS Rocks!!!!

Thanks to btesec who made us aware of this story!!!

To use Tinyeditor for creating custom blocks in 2.3 :

Go to root/module/system/admin/blocksadmin/

Make an backup of the blockform.php
and open it.

Then

Search for:

$textarea = new XoopsFormDhtmlTextArea(_AM_CONTENT, 'bcontent', $block['content'], 15, 70);


And replace it with:
if ( is_readable(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . "/class/xoopseditor/tinyeditor/formtinyeditortextarea.php")) {
include_once(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH . "/class/xoopseditor/tinyeditor/formtinyeditortextarea.php");
$textarea = new XoopsFormTinyeditorTextArea(array('caption'=>_AM_CONTENT, 'name'=>'bcontent', 'value'=>$block['content'], 'width'=>'100%', 'height'=>'400px', 'xEditor'=>'1'));
}else{
$textarea = new XoopsFormDhtmlTextArea(_AM_CONTENT, 'bcontent', $block['content'], 15, 70);
}


And if you go to blocks in your administration then youl see tinyeditor in stead of the normal editor.
(This hack only works if you have installed tinyeditor!)

WF-Channel V2.02

This is a mini bug fix release. It deals with two issues that came to light after the last release and were important enough to issue this release so quickly.

1. XoopsEditor Support: WF-Channel should support XoopsEditors fully now on all versions of Xoops.
2. Xoops Search: Now fully working. Fixed a bug that would prevent multiple word searches.
3. WF-Resource Check: Added code that will check the WF-Resource version. If this check fails, WF-Channel will display the reason for the failure. This is to help users who may forget to download the resource module.
4. Fixed Packaging: I have used a different tool to package the modules. If you still run into any problems, please contact us ASAP.

We urge all WF-Channel users to update to this version.

Support and Bug fixes

What is WF-Channel?
WF-Channel aims to be as simple as possible, while providing a powerful tool to aid a webmaster in webpage creation. This module is not a replacement for a dedicated article management system, but more a supplement of these other tools and should be treated as such.

Where WF-Channel excels is its ease of use. Every area is well explained with helpful dialog and streamlined admin interface. Whether you just wish to put up one or two webpage’s or more, WF-Channel will make things simple for you.

What’s New in V2.02?
WF-Channel v2 has been written from the ground up, we feel more secure than any other previous versions and we aim to provide patches quickly if required. WF-Channel uses some caching techniques to help reduce strain on servers, like reducing SQL queries, PDF caching and more.

The admin area has been totally redesigned to make working easier and quicker than before. Every item within the admin area is only one click away, which means less work for you in the long run.

Many of the new features may not be apparent straight away, such as mass deletion, cloning and updating of pages and all from the main admin page. You will find this and many more changes like this within WF-Channel.

Every part of WF-Channel front-end is configurable, you choose to display which parts you want your customers to see.

Here is a list of some of the new items within WF-Channel:
1. All code completely rewritten from the ground up,
2. Admin interface completely redesigned for ease of use,
3. Mass updating, deletion and cloning of pages,
4. Almost every item has a helpful hint on its workings,
5. Should be compatible with all versions of Xoops,
6. Supports many text editor,
7. Import HTML and text documents from anywhere on your server,
8. Supports printable and PDF (cached) version of all pages
9. Supports sociable book marking sites
10. Refer page with logs of who has referred who to your website,
11. Anti spamming techniques to stop spammers sending email via your refer pages,
12. Supports a linkable images and text for users to place on their own website,
13. Massive amount of support via WF-Project website,
14. Easily upgradeable from earlier versions,
15. And loads loads more…..

What we are planning for future versions:
1. Mass import of html and text documents,
2. XML support,
3. Trusted path support,
4. Extensive documentation/help files
5. More to be added by user request!

After almost three years of inactivity, the WOX (World of XOOPS) Newsletter is BACK. Some of you are probably wondering why are we doing it. If it was dead for three years, why bringing it back to life? Well, because our users loved it. We just didn't execute it consistently - the break was not because of lack of interest, it was because we didn't deliver. So it's time to fix mistakes from the past and move forward. As we are breaking away from the past, we are evaluating what worked and what didn't, and we want to make sure that good ideas are not being lost.

So now, back to the future

In this issue:

New XOOPS developments
AWARDS/Recognitions
Xooper of the Month
New Modules
New Hacks

While 2007 was quite eventful (see our first ever XOOPS Annual Report 2007), as you could see from our Plans for 2008, we have quite ambitious year ahead of us, and we'll need all the help from the whole XOOPS Community to make them reality. But we are confident that together, we'll be able to make it.

New XOOPS developments:

XOOPS 2.0.18.1 Released
XOOPS 2.2.6 RC released
XOOPS 2.3 is being worked on - check out the Alpha 2 code

AWARDS/Recognitions

The last few months were very exciting. We've got three major recognitions:


Selected as Top 3 CMS by Adobe Edge


5 Stars from Germany's CHIP


2007 INFO Award in Brazil

showing that XOOPS is finally gaining the recognition around the world, that it deserves. We are confident that with release 2.3 and then 3.0 XOOPS will secure a permanent place among top Content Management Systems (CSM). 

We are also happy that today,  April 7th, 2008, XOOPS was ranked as the #30 project on SourceForge, out of  173,885 Registered Projects.
