I) Le module de News et le référencement
Présenter des informations c'est une chose, les faire connaître en est une autre.
Même si la tendance des moteurs de recherche est d'utiliser de moins en moins les meta keywords et meta descriptions, certains
moteurs les utilisent toujours. C'est pour cela que, sauf si vous les saisissez vous même, le module vous propose la génération
automatique de ces informations (meta keyword et meta description).
Pour extraire les mots clés, le système se base sur l'une des préférences globale de Xoops.
Dans les "Options de recherche" des préférences principales de XOOPS vous définissez la "Longueur minimum des mots-clés".
Par défaut cette valeur est à 5. Dans le module de News ne seront donc extraits que les mots clés d'au moins 5 caractères (sauf bien entendu si vous changez cette valeur)
Le module essaye ensuite de supprimer tous les caractères "parasites" et ne conserve que les mots "uniques", uniques en ce sens qu'il ne conserve pas les doublons.
Les mots clés sont ensuite présentés dans leur ordre d'apparition dans le texte.
Finalement, si le module n'arrive pas à générer de mots clés, il prend les mots clés qui ont été définis dans les préférences globales de Xoops.
La "meta description" quant à elle est générée à partir du titre de l'article.
En plus de créer ces informations, le module fournit des titres de pages différents pour chaque article.
Tout comme pour la meta description, le module utilise le titre de l'article.
Dans le cas où votre site comporte beaucoup d'articles, la page principale du module propose des chevrons permettant d'aller de page en page.
Ces chevrons ne présentent pas, par défaut, de liens vers toutes les pages.
Les liens apparaissent au fur et à mesure que le visiteur clique sur les chevrons.
Dans le cas où le module détecte que c'est un robot qui est en train de parcourir vos pages, il va alors lui présenter des liens vers toutes vos pages dans le but de vous aider
à avoir un meilleur référencement.
Malgré toutes les fonctionnalités du module, il ne faut pas perdre de vue que le meilleur moyen d'être indexé et bien référencé c'est de proposer
un vrai contenu pour vos visiteurs. Sur le site d'un des moteurs de recherche les plus connus on peut lire "faites vos pages pour vos visiteurs
et pas pour les moteurs".
Gardez à l'esprit que le référencement n'est pas immédiat, il faut parfois attendre jusqu'à trois mois avant d'être présent dans
certains moteurs. Quant à votre place dans les pages de résultats des moteurs de recherche, cela ne dépend pas uniquement de tous les "artifices"
que vous pouvez mettre en place mais bien de votre contenu et entre autre de sa popularité.
Re: News module's documentation, call for helpI like the WIKI idea, Herve should put one up. (And any other module developper that wishes help in translations)
I would help in the translation at that time.
Cheers.
Re: News module's documentation, call for helpHere is the English version. As a side note I see a lot of request for translation on things like modules and information such as this. There is such an easy online translation tool that is great, http://www.worldlingo.com/en/websites/url_translator.html (and free). I use the translate email option to translate written documents with copy/paste and I translate websites with the URL translation (like I did with the below info). Great tool that I find comes in handy with multiple translation options. Just thought I would share this info.

That made a long time that I "had promised" to make a true documentation on the module of News de Xoops.
Easy to say, not easy to make.
I had begun a first version of this documentation and had not finalized it.
I recently took it again to make a new version of it.
Here it is thus
A) Presentation of the module
This module enables you to create articles in subjects.
The articles are presented in the shape of a list when you are on the page of index of the module.
A click on an article enables you to consult the entirety of the article.
The articles are listed by chronological order (most recent in first).
Via blocks, you have the possibility of differently presenting your articles and according to certain criteria.
You can limit visualization, the tender and the validation of articles to certain groups according to permissions'.
B) Vocabulary
Subject:
A subject is a category in which you "will arrange" articles
Article:
It is information which you wish to make public to your visitors.
This information breaks up into 3 parts, the title, the text of introduction and the continuation of the text.
For each article, you have options such as for example the possibility of joining files to it.
On the banner page (index) of the module, are visible only the texts of introduction in order to gain in place.
C) options of the module
1) How much article on the principal page?
This option determines the number of articles which are visible on the page of index of the module.
When your total number of articles exceeds this number, of the rafters are visible in bottom of the page of index
in order to allow you to go from page on page.
2) Format of the date
You allows to specify a format of date to be used everywhere in the module.
The format to be used is identical to that used in the function date() of Php. For more information, see:
HTTP://fr2.php.net/manual/fr/function.date.php
If you do not specify anything, it is the format by defect defined in XOOPS which will be used.
3) To post the box of navigation in top of each page?
If this option is then activated a drop-down list containing the names of the subjects will be present in the top of the page of index of the module.
This drop-down list contains the list of all the subjects contained in your base and allows you to go directly to a subject.
4) automatically To approve the new articles without the intervention of an administrator?
When this option is positioned on ' Oui', all the articles subjected by the users are automatically approved and published.
5) Page-setting of the articles
You can post the articles on your banner page in two different ways.
- the "Traditional" option lists the last articles published the ones following the others, while putting most recent in first in the page.
- the option "Articles by subjects" posts you a framework by subject. At the interior of this framework, one finds the last article published in this subject
and lists it last articles published in this subject. The number of articles present in each "block" is a function of the option 1) of the module
6) Name of author to be used
The articles are inevitably attached to somebody, even if it is an anonymity. When an article is posted, in one way or another, the name
of its author is posted, this option allows you to determine how to post the name of the author, namely:
- Pseudo: It is the name of connection which will be posted
- complete Name: If it is indicated, it is the complete name of the user who will be posted if not his pseudo
- None: Nothing is posted
7) Columns
This option enables you to choose a number of columns to be used to post your articles on the page of index of the module.
8) a Number of articles to be posted in the administration
The administration of the module enables you to post articles in lists, the last articles published, the articles on standby and the articles expired.
This option thus will enable you to choose the number of visible articles in these lists.
9) Groups authorized to join files to the articles
It is possible to join, for each article, of the files, this option enables you to determine which are the groups authorized to download files.
Attention, these groups are not those of XOOPS but those of the module. This concept will be re-examined more in treating detail in the part of the administration of the module.
You can choose between the following groups:
- Editors and Assentor
- Assentor only
- decontaminated Remote loading
10) maximum Size of the files joined in KB
If you activated the enclosures to the articles (see the preceding option) you can then indicate the maximum size of the enclosures to the articles.
Attention, even if you specify, for example, a size of 10 Mo, it may be that that does not function because the configuration of Php also makes it possible to limit
size of the files which one can transmit by his navigator. Consult the option "upload_max_filesize" file php.ini, in general this value is to 2 Mo.
11) To restrict the subjects on the page of index?
This option is very important because it makes it possible to decide the type of management of the rights which you will use on your site.
In short you can have a "permissive" management and a "strict" management.
In the part "B) Vocabulary", of this documentation, it was known as that an article breaks up into 3 parts, the title, the text of introduction and the continuation of the text.
When you position this option of the module to "Yes", the users see only the articles that they have the right to see.
On the other hand, when you position this option with "Not", the users have the possibility of seeing the title and the introduction of the article and this, even if they do not have
not right to see the article. However, when they click on the bond enabling them to see the article in its entirety, they will be rejected.
This second option is useful, for example, for sites proposing of the paying contents, or whose contents can be seen only if the visitor with certain rights.
That thus makes it possible to give an outline of the contents without all seeing.
12) Articles of the same author
When you consult an article in his entirety, if you activate this option then a bond will be posted and will allow your users to post a page
listing all the articles of the same author. This page holds account of the permissions (see the preceding option) in order to post the subjects and articles.
13) To post the bonds towards the preceding and following articles
That makes it possible to post two bonds, bellow of each article, enabling you to go to the preceding article and the following article. While holding account of the permissions.
14) To post the table of synopsis
You allows to post a list of the last articles published. The number of posted article holds account of the first option of the module.
15) To allow the authors to publish their articles
By defect, once a subjected and validated article, it is not possible any more to its author, except if it is the webmaster, to modify his article.
This option thus makes it possible to the authors to modify their articles.
16) To allow the users to note the articles
If you activate this option, your visitors will then have the possibility of noting the articles.
The recorded users and the anonymities can vote only one time and the authors of the articles cannot vote for their own articles.
These notes allow you then, in particular in the administration of the module, to have statistics.
17) To activate flows RSS by subject
This option makes it possible to your users to follow the articles of your site per subject. If you activate the option of course.
18) To allow the seizure of the meta given (keywords and description)
If you activate this option, the people authorized to approve the articles then have the possibility of seizing (in the form of tender) meta given HTML "keywords" and "description".
This information is useful to have a better referencing in the search engines.
If this information is not seized, the module automatically generates meta keywords and a meta description for each article.
19) Editor to be used
If you installed certain text editors, you can then use them in the module to subject your subjects and your articles.
20) To activate the surlignage key words of research
This option makes it possible to put the words used in the search for XOOPS in subrillance in the articles once that the user clicks on
bond pointing towards the article (since research).
21) Color used for the surlignage of the words of research
If you activated the preceding option, enter here code HTML of the prime coat to use.
22) a Number of natures taken into account in the infobulles
If you wish it, you can post a infobulle on the bonds of the articles, this infobulle contains the beginning of the text of the article.
This infobulle is purified of any code HTML (working is thus not used).
23) To use the bar of navigation of Mozilla and Opera
This option does not generate anything visible in the articles of your site but it allows the people who visit your site and who use
Mozilla, Firefox or Opera, to have a bar of navigation. This bar of navigation makes it possible to go to the following article, with the preceding article,
of going to the index of the articles, going to research, going directly on a precise subject, seeing the files, to subject an article etc
Attention, this option weighed down the weight of your pages because it adds in its heading, a whole heap of information.
24) Select appearance to be used in the mitres
The blocks "articles recent" and "signal articles" can post mitres, this option enables you to choose the appearance of these mitres.
This subject will be tackled in the part reserved for the blocks.
Re: News module's documentation, call for helpYou should realize that these free online translation aren't very good. You can get the gist of the message but the essence of the text and good grammar sometimes gets lost in the process.
The translation above is not easy to read and needs a lot of work.
Cheers.
Re: News module's documentation, call for helpFor this moment I have the french translation and the spanish translation (EXCELLENT job ClubNUKE !).
If someone's got another version, it will be welcome.
Re: News module's documentation, call for helpYou should put up a wiki for the docement Hervé, this way each user can just pop in and do a few lines or so when available.
I know I don't have enough time to do a full translation in one shot, so basically, I don't even start it.
Cheers.
