It can be used for any module, it works the same way as the module Tag. It uses the jquery plugin 'jRating'.

TDMCreate module version 1.39 Beta 1 for Test

After just released beta version 1.38.6 we continue with the development of the module, adding features that were already planned for some time that solve problems with entering the decimal version of the string, and other errors due to old code, such as:

1) Removing the superfluous code.
2) Removal of unused files.
3) Fixing the bug that occurred when creating blocks.
4) Replace and rename some items that relate to the functions so that they are in the English language default.
5) Added code php file in the user side.
6) Amended and added code to the template files.

On the administrative side has also been modified and the table modules_ in mod_ and tables_ in table to improve readability of the code.

I hope I did the right thing, divided language files, the various references quotes to the definitions of the constants:

define (''"");


in this way it will be easier to read both the right and left edges of the definitions.

The idea is to go to a version 1.90 which then bind up 2.01 in the current alpha version ready for xoops 2.6.0.

As you go forward with future versions, we will try to reduce the extra code and keep up with the releases of new versions of PHP.

To download the module, go to the downloads section of my site.

SmartClone 1.10 Beta 1 and cloning of XOOPS Modules

SmartClone is a module that will clone with 2 clicks any module that is developed as clonable! It works with a plugin system so any module developer can create a plugin for its module and allow SmartClone to painlessly clone it!

There are certain requirements for a module to be clonable, among them - a consistent way of naming tables, language variables, etc. We'll have soon a guidelines on how to make your module "clonable".

As a test, you can clone, for example, the WF-Downloads 3.22 RC1, or some of the Smart modules, like the SmartFAQ.

As a matter of fact, I used SmartClone just recently to clone WF-Downloads into a "Repository" module, that is being now used on XOOPS Website (see this thread)

The goal is to have the most important XOOPS modules that are part of the Module Packs, clonable. We probably will have some kind of voting on this, and use some logic to decide which ones are the best for cloning.

Download: SourceForge File Repository

Please help us with testing of this module.

Please discuss the module and module cloning in this thread

AdsLight 2.2 Beta 1 - Ads & Classifieds with Payment Options

Thanks to Cesag, we have now a new version of AdsLight 2.2 that she received from iLuc, the author.

Cesag spent countless hours testing this module, as well as the xPayment module, originally created by Wishcraft.

Both have been now updated to XOOPS 2.5.5 Admin GUI, and are now released as Beta versions for testing.

Adslight is a module that allow your clients of your website to list advertisements for items for sale, exchange or barter. It has an option to work together with XPayment module that allows people to both pay for items in the category it is assigned to or for advertisements themselves, that can be charged on a day by day basis till an expiration date.

Please note: if you don't plan on selling anything for a fee, you don't need to install the xPayment module.

Requirements: XOOPS 2.5.5, PHP 5.2 (5.3+ recommended)

Download: from SourceForge File Repository

- Adslight 2.2 Beta 1

- xPayment 1.52 Beta 1


Once again, a big "Thank you" to Cesag for her hard work and dedication on these two modules!

P.S. If you can, please test the payment feature with xPayment, because we would like to make it a standard payment solution for all our modules, similar to how it is done in Adslight.

For example, if Timgno is developing his Hotel or Restaurant module, he could use xPayment. It would make sense to utilize xPayment in our existing modules such as Oledrion, or Membership. This way we would have a standard payment solution, working similar to modules like Tag or Waiting, which can be utilized by other modules.

Please discuss these modules in this thread

Sports Pack (Football/Soccer, Cricket, Darts) converted to XOOPS 2.5.5 Admin GUI

zeroram recently suggested that we update our Sports Management modules

So today we're making the first step: I've converted these three modules to XOOPS 2.5.5 Admin GUI, and tested under PHP 5.4.12.

The modules need more work in the sense that they are not using XOOPS API, and would have to be fully converted to "Blue Move", but for the time being it seems like they are doing the job.

But since you can now install and test them on XOOPS 2.5.5 and PHP 5.3/5.4, I hope that we'll have users who will want to work together on improving these modules, and converting them to XOOPS API.

So let me know if there is any interest in improving these modules any further.

Download:

Resized Image CricketStats 1.20 Beta 1

Resized Image MatchDart 1.60 Beta 1

Resized Image TPL League Stats 1.10 Beta 2

Also, we've updated recently the Team module, for playing games on line, so you can test it as well:

- Team 3.02 Beta 1

XOOPS Module Packs Overview- Draft 1

It's time to finalize our Module Packs.

Below is the preliminary list of modules, and their place in the proposed Module Packs:

- Basic
- Community
- Company
- eCommerce
- Mega

The requirements for all these modules are as follow:

- XOOPS 2.5.5 Admin GUI
- active development/maintenance
- tested and working on XOOPS 2.5.5 and under PHP 5.4

In Green, modules that are tested and released.
In Yellow, modules that are still being worked on, and if they're finalized on time, they will be included.

I am sure, that we've missed some modules, or some modules might be duplicate, and should be removed. Some modules might be not in all appropriate Packs.

If you don't know some of these modules, you can find descriptions for most of them in this article, or in the "XOOPS Resource Book"

Please let us know what you think in this thread.
