This looks AWESOME! I have a site and content for it all planned out, but I am trying to find the "right" CMS for it.

I know there are plans to support multiple databases, including PostgreSQL, but when is this planned?

I have been searching all over for over a year, for a CMS/Portal that supports PHP/PostgreSQL, and have come up empty. I have followed many CMS projects that "plan" on supporting pgsql, but none have yet.

I would be happy to test any betas with pgsql support. If anyone knows of any other CMS's that do support pgsql, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
-Eddie

I think you do have some valid ideas, but it's ultimately up to the developers of XOOPS to incorporate (or not incorporate) whatever they see fit. It will not be a solution for everyone; nothing ever is.

You are always free to write your own portal system/CMS *grin*.

The XOOPS developers have done a great job and responses to my previous postings demonstrate that they think along the same lines and are moving XOOPS away from its weblog roots forwards to something much more exciting. Perhaps RC2 is more than just a code freeze and includes some exciting new developments, but if not then this is not the time to encourage independent module developers to start coding. Because you're basically freezing the potential of XOOPS if you guarantee forwards compatibility. I'll stress it again, XOOPS is fantastic at what it does and has a great future under a very talented programming team who do that most magical of all things, listen. Just don't put the brakes on just yet.

If there are developers reading this, don't feel any pressure to reply to this thread.

Just my idee.

But it seems to me this comment on XOOPS is getting a bit out of hand. Maybe AFLSC should take up his arguments directly with the dev team of Xoops. There always will be people with great ideas, but as far as i can read no one uderstands what the meaning of the story is about.

Sure. I'm just suggesting that module and theme developers could await RC3 before getting permission to go to town so that XOOPS developers can consider their own design for a classification system. Throughout the forums, you can see demands for a better classification system, even if they are not phrased in that way. I don't think a little patience is too greedy, given that this product was only launched in December and it's January now. Would waiting another month really be catastrophic if it led to XOOPS being a true CMS and not a glorified weblog.

I think that you may be dazzled with the dream of a perfect design. In the real world software construction, we may not consider an ultimate design which fit all our current requirements and our future plans. The most successful software is always those that issue a release with the basic functional sets as quickly as they can. After that we can start the evolution of the product. The refactoring concept is a good process for this purpose. They may launch 2.0 project, 3.0 layout, or even another independent branch with a much more radical sketch.

The primary goal is to release a stable 1.0 version quickly!

What about the sig? ...its a joke

Secondly, i dont buy books, i learn by taking things appart, reading the manual, and online docs/tutorials ....thus the question

Thirdly, im not a XOOPS developer, and i still suck when it comes to classes and the stuff you where talking about :o)

First I want to draw attention to your message signature: "If it ain't broke, fix it."

Secondly, I'll use this opportunity to plug one of the most impressive books I bought last year:

New Riders' WEB APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT WITH PHP4.0:
http://www.newriders.com/books/title.cfm?isbn=0735709971

Hope this is on the bookshelves of all XOOPS developers. I also found a great book the other day: it's small, it's square, it's red and it was aimed at content developers, stressing the importance of classification, but I can't think what it was called.

With the lack of developer comments here, i suppose they are either a lil shy because they might not know how to do what your suggesting? Which isnt specificly a bad thing...after all FB dosesn't even use ANY classes at all Or because they just dont wanna get into a heated disscussion right before RC2

If you have any...i suggest you let some links to tutorials or sourcecode loose.. so those that are lost with these principles can read up on em
