BTW another benefit (besides the extra traffic) would be the way it makes bookmarking easier. Right now each forum post you try to bookmark modifies the previous one (unless you change its name of course)

I also posted the need (IMO) to match the title of the page with the content (many other people posted it too, not that I came up with a brilliant idea). I hope that this is considered for a future version, in the meantime I havent been able to find a way of doing it w/o modifying the code so much that it would make it a pain to upgrade, does anyone know of a way of doing this by just modifying template files? that would be interesting because then you can keep it as you upgrade...

actually <{$xoops_pagetitle}> seems to be the site slogan rather than a page title based on content so this doesn't fix the problem.

How much extra traffic would all our XOOPS sites be getting from search engines if the subject/item name was actually in the page title? I know I'd get a lot more.

I am a great fan of Dadabik too. I used it under PHPNuke.
You say that something similar is possible with the sections-module???

How???

Or maybe you know if Dadabik is already available for XOOPS V2

Well said Malexandria, I don't get it too, Newbb is fine, we don't need this that and the other, imho.

The only thing I would like to see in XOOPS is notification of PM's via E-mail which I think would be cool, and the option to turn it on or off for different groups.

Apart from that, Newbb goes down a treat.

Sorry for making 3 posts, but because of the ammount of writing in each post, I felt it better to reply sep.

I am currently running 4 XOOPS sites, all of which have been converted to use the IPBoard by koudanshi. The features of the IBF module far outweigh any issues about waiting for updates post-official-upgrade. If it werent for the availability of the IBF module, I would never have chosen XOOPS as my CMS.


Good luck updating your XOOPS site, when XOOPS CMS gets upgraded, that will be a fair wack of work, a long waiting time until the module dev updates his.

The problem with swoping the main forums for Xoops, is all the users, still using Newbb, what happens to there posts, Devs then have to create upgrade scripts, then XOOPS is no longer XOOPS but XoopsIBF and means we use a non GPL board, and are forced to keep links back to the IBF site, which from a business point of view don't look too good. of course this is all IMHO

This is coming from a total PHP / CMS newbie purely from the viewpoint of manageablity and functionality and site layout. I almost chose PHP-Nuke over XOOPS with one of the main reasons being PHP-Nukes use of the phpBB forums (I also like the Somara XP theme for PHP-Nuke, I'm sick I know ) . One of the other major issues I have is with XOOPS is the CSS aligment issues with the seemingly very broken IE 5.X.


2 things:

You could use the phpbb module or IBF module

There is a windows theme for xoops, infact I'm sure I seen two on one of the theme sites.

Hope this helps

but the XOOPS-standard private messenger is sorely lacking. After transferring to the IBF Module, you can track messages to know when they have been read & even delete them before they are read... very nifty features.


This is one of the features i miss too in newBB. Especially the thing you didn't mention thepod, the notification email that is sent when receiving a new PM !! I think this feature would take my users to log in more often on site, 'cause they know there's a new msg for them.
We have a global notification system in XOOPS 2 now, why not using this one to notify about new PMs as well ?? I think there's a big lack !

p.s. thepod, what did you mean with Quote:
I have also replaced the XOOPS avatar system with the IBF avatar system, because its so much more practical on so many levels, & it looks better too.

I think you are very wrong, I think the end users thrive on the novelty of a pimped out board. In fact I know this to be true, because when I tried months ago to switch my users from Ikonboard to postnuke (using phpbb), they all flipped out. Even in the transition to XOOPS I lost over half my members, but now that they are realizing that InvisionBoard is just as good as Ikonboard or better, they are coming back in droves, praising the new forum. They dont seem to care about the cool news & links & totally integrated comments system, they couldnt give a damn that its beautifully written unique code. All the emoticons in the world cannot compensate for excellence of communications.

Plus, I dont mean to rag on XOOPS cuz IMO its the best free CMS out there, but the XOOPS-standard private messenger is sorely lacking. After transferring to the IBF Module, you can track messages to know when they have been read & even delete them before they are read... very nifty features. I have also replaced the XOOPS avatar system with the IBF avatar system, because its so much more practical on so many levels, & it looks better too. The IBF Module adds a lot to XOOPS, period. Its about to be upgraded too, I cant wait...
