i think you should check this
Quote:

<{if $smarty.server.PHP_SELF=='/index.php' && $xoops_dirname=="system"}>
<{includeq file="$theme_name/slideshow.html"}>
<{/if}>


make sure you check that xoops_dirname == your first page module directory

If you havent got one then use "system" like in my example, otherwise use the module's folder name.

I'm not sure if this will be visible or not in the selected module's first page as well.

@redheadedrod: i was probably reffering to the uModules project. isn't this the one close to the class approach of modules i suggested in my earlier post?

@redheadedrod mate perhaps i could help you with that project. it sounds interesting and I think this is something really really missing from xoops.

Moreover, we should have all configurations in the admin area (debuging, user level that will see debug info etc.)

we should also make a standart htaccess file for url rewriting

I use the following one,
-for redirecting to my page with www always in front of the url, -for custom error pages (i'm writing this bit of code trying to make it a bit more flexible),
-and to stop from hotlinking images.

Quote:

Options +FollowSymlinks

ErrorDocument 404 /error_pages/404.php
ErrorDocument 403 /error_pages/403.php

RewriteEngine On
rewritecond %{http_host} ^mysite.gr [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$http://www.mysite.gr/$1 [r=301,nc]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.+\.)?mysite\.gr/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(www\.)?facebook.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http(s)?://(apps\.)?facebook.com [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteRule \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|bmp)$http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/8210/stoleni.png [NC,R,L]

perhaps this could help someone.

Finally I think there should be a major database redesign so as to apply multilingual data, adding the language parameters in the tables and fields holding actual content. perhaps ids of that fields shouldn't be autoincrementing and unique? we could have the same ids with data in different languages.

This will give developers a mechanism to write their code with multilanguage support in mind. Xlanguage is very stiff at the moment.

Do you think it would be a good idea that modules should actually be classes that extend a main core.module.class? Wouldnt that give us more control, extensibility and freedom on writing a module?

Even more we could have specifically named methods (in our modules class) to call for search, rss, latest submissions, comments etc and get the unified results from within the core.

the core.module class will just have to see if the specific method (showRSS() for example) exists, collect the results from each module that has it, and show them...does this make sense to you?

i think the point is to optimize xoops core and functionality.Not to find another host that will support heavy load.

Xoops is indeed making a lot of queries in the database.

I recently (yesterday) had to change my php memory limit to 64M (from 32M) cause it was randomly exceeded by showing the home page of a site with 19 blocks (3 of them custom html) + the banner + debug for admins.

All those blocks query the database 93 times (used to be 102 queries). And right now I'm working on optimizing each block's and module's queries to decrease that number as much as i can (by creating unions, joins etc).

Caching is a good option but sometimes data changes and the site is just showing the cached information not the updated.

I did a lil digging around and came to the conclusion that it was the gzip compression that was causing all this. I'm not sure why.

here is what i did to 'fix' this...not sure if this is an actual fix but works for me right now, so please if someone else knows a better fix post it.

in file class/xoopskernel.php

line 124
change this
Quote:

ob_start('ob_gzhandler');


with this
Quote:

ob_start('ob_gzhandler');
ob_end_clean();
header("Content-Encoding: none");


Aparently something is going wrong with the qzip compression. Hope it helps someone...
