Re: [design] Which site

I have been a fan of CSS Xen Garden for some time now. I also generally try to use a complete CSS dynamic layout for every site I design.

HOWEVER, I've found that with XOOPS one can only go so far with this idea. The core engine, as well as most modules have a table based layout written into them. So to go totally CSS/XHTML (as would be state of the art IMHO) would also mean rewriting many modules. Not an impossible task, but could definitely be labor intensive.

I'm trying to find an existing setting to modify the length, or max characters, of backend.php. Assuming I'm not losing my mind and there is no such setting, has anyone tried this with any success? I quickly scanned the backend.php file but no solution was immediately obvious.

This is using XOOPS 2.2.3 too BTW. Thanks everyone!

I have it on my "todo" list to start testing my 2.2.x site being downgraded to the 2.0.x series. However, it may not be possible which does kind of irritate me. I wish I had been aware of this before ever starting with 2.2.x; maybe this should be a little more obvious to future users?

I cannot speak of code-level issues with 2.2.x as I'm not a php codeer. What I can say is that the 2.4 branch will be using more of the 2.0.x code than the 2.2.x code. I can also say as an ex-2.2.x user that 2.0.x has the benefit of having more modules available for it and it is a much more stable release.

I can understand your desire to know why the 2.2.x branch is not as scalable. I respect that. However, the important thing to know right now is that 2.4 will share more in common with the 2.0.x branch than the 2.2.x branch. Therefore, I strongly recommend the 2.0.x branch as the basis of any current projects.

Best Regards,

Thanks. I kind of gathered that from my searching on here; IIRC it was mentioned in another thread about this same topic.

But, I really would like to know what the issue(s) is. What happened that the 2.2.x branch is basically going to be scrapped down the road? It just seems a little out of the ordinary to me. Also, the fact that I can't find any explanation anywhere probably makes me more curious than I would normally be

Anyway, as things stand it kind of leaves the whole 2.2.x series in limbo then it would seem, which sucks because I thought the interface and layouts were much better than 2.0.x. Oh well, I guess the mystery remains.

Yes I can understand using 2.0.x for thoe reasons. I'm just curious here as to where the scalability issue comes into play. Is there a certain range of database size, or registered users, or something else where this issue usually arises?

Scalability and 2.2 series; is this an issue?

Howdy all,

I am working on a project with several other people that is in the earilest stages of planning. We're coming up with a short list of potential CMS candidates. I, naturally, am pushing for Xoops. But I need a little clarification on something here.

Currently, I am running XOOPS 2.2.3 on a few small-to-medium websites for myself and clients. I've had no issues whatsoever, and really like this series. However, this latest project has specs that rate MUCH higher in requirements for both user counts, concurrent sessions, and total pageviews.

While researching XOOPS scalability potential (and finding a certain other CMS that recently changed names has some serious scalability issues), I ran across this post:

Quote:
Considering your objective, use the latest 2.0.x version as your codebase. There will be a clear upgrade path from this version to the next one (2.4.0) and the 2.2.x releases are quite less scalable, so you'll get more comfortable by doing this.


So, the question is, in what respect are the 2.2 releases less scalable? Where do the issues lie? Basically, what do I need to be aware of as far as potential limitations within the 2.3 releases? Running the 2.0 series isn't a big issue, but I was rather surprised to see this. Can someone please shed a little more light on this? Thanks!

Excellent! The one remaining question is how to integrate this so that our news postings and his both show up within the same block in the correct ordering.

If you need more of a visual, checkhttp://debcentral.org . That layout is what we're trying to keep. Maybe splitting the news into 2 columns would work, ut thats definitely a second choice if we can get this working and keep things looking the same.

Thanks for the help too!

Sharing news across Xoops sites

I'm really stumped on this one, but maybe someone here can help or at least point me in the right direction.

I have a site that uses the news module for the front page. A friend of mine has another XOOPS site which also uses the news module. What we'd like to do is to take his RSS feed from his news module and use that as the input into our news module. I don't want to totally disable our news, because we will still post our own articles and original content along with his feed.

Does anyone have the foggiest clue how to go about doing this? I had thought about maybe taking his feed and running it through any RSS parser that can generate HTML output, but I don't know how to take that output and use it as input into the news module. I'm sure it can be done by using the proper SQL, but I'm more than a bit rusty on that whole mess and our PHP/SQL guru is out for a bit. So, any suggestions?

Thanks!
