Re: xContent 2.17 Beta 1 ready for testing on XOOPS 2.5.5

Going to test it right now, is this one have to replace Herve News or it's for static content only ?

Hmm, language again (till I uploading XOOPS-20120718, checking them first)

in main.php
define('_XCONTENT_AD_MADEBY', 'Last Edited By');
Should be - Modified by: (Stop With Those Capital On Every Word)

define('_XCONTENT_WRITTENBY', 'Written by: ');
Why not Written by: %1 - how this   will be accepted by TX in ANSI

define('_XCONTENT_MSG_SECURITYTOKEN', 'passkey Security Token needs to be refreshed - please refresh the screen!');
Can you translate this in Human readable English - we've talked about Ease of use, such strings not make it easy

Hmmm
define('_XCONTENT_XCONTENTEXPIRED', 'xContent has passed it expiry date!');
Alternative English translation for this ?

and this
define('_XCONTENT_TOBEPUBLISHED', 'xContent has to reach it publishing date!');

define('_XCONTENT_THISCOMESFROM', 'This Comes From:');
This (ghost) comes from ?
The source of this page is: (sounds much better)

And here
Quote:


define('_XCONTENT_PDF_DATE', 'Published');
define('_XCONTENT_POSTEDBY', 'Posted By');
define('_XCONTENT_POSTEDON', 'Posted On');


Published or Posted ?
Published on DATE
Published by SOMEONE
Published ON SITE

define('_XCONTENT_AD_TEXT_DESC', 'xContent that appears in the page under ID');
Master Yoda's English ?

--------------------------

Modinfo.php

define('_XCONTENT_AUTHOR', 'Written by Simon Roberts aka. Wishcraft');
Since is forked, there should be new definitions: XCONTENT_MAINTAINERS - Mamba, all discovered bugs and features requests to be forwarded to maintainer, author have nothing to do with this fork.

Nice comment
"// MAINTENANCE ACtioNS"

...and ANSI (why there is no conversion to UTF-8), damn forks from forks
// MENU ICONS?IMAGES


how the definitions bellow will be accepted by TX ?

//MYSQL TABLES WITHOUT PREFIX // DO NOT CHANGE

90% of the file is DO NOT CHANGE... is this a language definition file or source code ?

Those lines bellow each comment - do not change, must be moved in another file, common.php or else.

Re: XOOPS 2.5.x Translations using Transifex

Hmm, looks that there is not much activity, but here is a tool, written by MadFish from banned CMS community, for ICMS Modules on Transifex.
For easy way to download/upload language files from/to TX platform.

Download -http://library.isengard.biz/scripts/transifex/transifex.zip
Both must run from the /modules directory.

The forward one copies all your module language files into a /modules/transifex folderrenamed following the module-language-filename.php convention.

The reverse one looks for /modules/transifex directoryrestores the file names and copies them back out the the relevant modules and translation directories.


Wondering ....when both communities will shake hands and stop playing like kids.... this banned, that banned... bull-craps.

Is there a tracking system that shows who is working on what and what items are planned to be included? I know such systems exist because we used one in one of my programming classes. They also track where the person is on the "tasks". (Haven't started yet, % done on coding, level of code status (alpha, beta etc))


I got simple code for that but someone have to port it to XOOPS, it's bellow 5k.

Your complaints can give a bad image of Xoops for people who read your messages. This may also discourage people motivated.


Ok, say something good for 2.5.5

But in the other hand this is just our xoops,we all made it a CMS so if you find an error and just complained, you should complain your share too.


Well, to be exact, CMS stands for Content Management System, XOOPS right now is MS.... there is no content. Yeah it's ours... but is something different right now, maybe Development Framework, but not cms for sure....

My share ? or My complain ?
Shared complain in first post
Profile (core) module not works on shared HSP with 8 to 16MB PHP Memory - blank pages, same is for wishcraft bcz is fork from the core profile.

Lack of socializing integration (tons of registrations everywhere, this time lay in history, now ppl connect with they're Twitter/FB accounts)

Or Profile by Wishcraft ("My modules are without bugs") - there is no God cloning on Earth so far, every human makes mistakes, and since gives blank page on 8MB PHP Memory like the original one... such statement is foolish.

NewBB... did u remember which year was released XOOPS 2.0.18 ?
And how much things changed since then ?

And for content there are tons of posts which starts with "put some rules god damn it" - strict rules. There is one news, written by herve thouzard, all of other forks, variations, modifications and such have to be renamed - or banned, 1 week at first sign, 2 weeks as 2nd warning - forever as 3rd and final.

Naming - 2 Profile modules, why there is no such allowed and advertised misleading anywhere else ? Show me CMS, even XOOPS forks where there is such anarchy, 10 times by 10 different maintainers - News, 2 Profiles, 2 different versions of NewBB, 3 different versions of WF-Links..., 3 different versions by WFDownloads, by Blue Move, by Marcan, by Catzwolf - all of them are functional on 2.5.5, but all of them give different errors sometimes, different warnings.

10 News forks, including Herve's news, all of them are news
(are u out of imagination, u can't think for a new name or what?)

If I was a PHP Programmer and took the existing SVN code for 2.5.5, change some backlinks, and re-release it as my work... whole community will scream to hell, but bcz Herve, Catz, and rest are no longer here, lets make and maintain the mess.
... and this mess brings nothing, download hits are simple prove of that, talking about my translations:

J! Translations (http://cmsbg.info/translations/joomla/viewcategory/36-joomla) from 2 to 300 downloads per file.
Drupal Translations (http://cmsbg.info/translations/drupal/viewcategory/39-drupal) 2 apps only, bcz of the Elvish language used in Drupal... but still downloaded a lot
XOOPS Modules translations (http://cmsbg.info/files/viewcategory/114-xoops) - none of them got 2 digits downloads.

I think that only who cares about XOOPS right now is Mamba... rest are absent
Bitcero - lack of interest to fix and improve his modules, RM Common don't accept other PO files (translations)
Trabis - no sign of him from ages
OnoKazu - I've returned bcz of him... no sign since the announce, I was excited about XOOPS with him as leader, but now looks just as unconfirmed rumor.
Catz - same as onokazu... gone in the wind
Solo - ...

Re: SMF 2.0 to XOOPS 2.5

4 - Reply after vote for threads with polls
3 - If.... this means 2 registrations for same purpose
5 - lack of documentation
6 - If you put hand on your heart... what for current collection of modules for 2.5 can be used ? can you make community site, blog, directory with rates and reviews

Forums and help desks are the only way for maintaining one product paid or free up to date, so... if some forums loose of they're base and activity is not in general. If you look at sites made with any of the X cores, all of them looks the same... u don't need to search for powered by XOOPS, bcz everything shows what is used on that site.

How otherwise newcomers to medium level of sample project users will keep in touch with advanced users and developers to solve a issue, hack the code to change feature A to something else.

8 - wondering what will be...

Quote:

"Why now? What has caused that?"


Well, it's not only now.... those questions moves from 2.3, what caused it ? Bcz I've not found with current RC and betas in blue section what for X can be used
Herve birthday module is converted, but herve Olderon or something like that (was the only good fully compatible, native e-commerce module for X) not.....

Ok, lets take next example as for requirement:
X latest core
News as general for the site purpose, site updates etc
Multi-user blogging system
forum with ability to reply after vote, and less bugs, or at least status beta, pre-RC version
downloads section with auto-sync from GForge and SF and a lot of other stuff discussed in another topic
links section (does anyone tried happy linux links ?)
cloned links section with rate and review for sites made by users for clients
faq section
wiki section
multi-vendor shop where every user can sell they're work, themes, translations, howto's
content slides
Profile module which displays all submissions from the user to enabled modules (well, with lower system requirements, blank pages came on systems with memory bellow 64MB)
or Profile module like the one made years ago ... was Yogurt or something like that....

I can read and understand Russian language... and this otherwise nice structured site is proudly presented under XOOPS 1.3.10 :) -http://xoops.ru/ - same can be done and on 2.2/2.0, but still, can u provide as editor one rating and as user second rating on faq, links, downloads ?

SMF 2.0 to XOOPS 2.5

...newbb was good addition as version 2.02 and core 2.0, this time is in history, and I'm wondering why u're loosing time, energy and nerves to make something useable, since it's limited. NewBB is very basic forum, and the installed version on xoops.org proves it.

If I make a patch to something, or just converting languages like for few old modules, I can't attach them - is this a forum... or more looks like Classified Ads module.

There are no polls in the way they should be, 3rd party outdated module XOOPSPolls is required.

There is no threaded replies, newbb is too simple as bitcero forum too.

Since there is a bridge for SMF 1.1 and XOOPS 2.0, why someone just not port it to X 2.5 and SMF 2.0.
http://download.simplemachines.org/index.php?thanks;filename=smf_1-1_xoops_2-0-x_bridge_1-1_beta_2.zip

SMF is fully seo compatible, NewBB contains too much core bugs, what left for cosmetics.

SMF have tons of plugins and templates... newbb have bugs, one fixed - two new opened

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Little Offtopic: There is still no XOOPS Bulgaria (localized site), bcz few important extensions are missing (Well, I can make it with Mithrandir 2.2 xoops, but where is the point). No idea who told u that tinymce is most compatible and secure editor, but is a failure in total. In most CMS which options to be replaced got replaced after installation of the selected system (Joomla!, Drupal, CMS Made Simple). CK Editor is - works equally fine on all environments, with option to customize what level of options can be used by guests, registered, moderators, administrators.
So far there is not:
- Web Links fully featured SEO ready like Happy Linux Web links module or banned cms - imLinks 1.17 by McDonald forked WF-Links (by catzwolf... and if u notice is released under new name), imLinks is professional example how things can work, one module, one core - and u can have completed web links directory without any hacks and tons of spams on the selected core/module support forums.
- Forum - excuse me, but this simple attempt (NewBB) trying to die with every new core module is not a forum.
- Downloads - after WF-Downloads adoption by Marcan - there is no movement, also there is no response from redhead does he started work on a new one from scratch or still not. There was once D3 Downloads operations under some old cores with altsys, now both are unavailable, but and D3 Downloads and WF-Downloads are too old and lacking of features, wont mention TM Downloads (better to use SF.NET File repository instead).
- News - well, News 1.67 Herve is far, far away from the new days Content Management System. Most content modules of xoops, reminds me on PHPNuke, Slashdot.
- Members / Community management with ability to login with open id, facebook accounts, people got tired of registrations everywhere.
- CCK - something which should be with highest priority from core 2.2 is not even planed for 3.0 (for those which have no idea what CCK is - Content Construction Kit)
- FAQ.... well if there was CCK, most things can be done with it, even FAQ section.

And the question I'm asking myself and xoops community is - Why everyone forks old modules, instead to create brand new ? Does all good programmers died with XOOPS 2.0 ?

Since there are over 20 actively developed and maintained OpenSource and GPLed forums, even SMF 2.0.x license is changed, why there is not simple bridge like the one mentioned above.
SMF, PHPBB, PunBB, DeluxeBB, MyBB etc.. all of them, have and will have better user profile pages (at least will not require like current profile module 64 MB+ to work properly, btw there is no such shared hosting provider). All of them have plugins to be extended, themes...

So can someone of the active php developers can fork and re-release the above module for X 2.5.5+ and SMF 2.0.2+ ?
--------------------------------------------------------------
Days ago between sessions with dentists got proposal from high school to make presentation of CM Systems of my choice to be presented to students and ppl to start learning something useful in school instead of the crap they're learning now. How 80486 works and what for was used 80487 + the most powerful OS - DOS 6.0.

So, I've decided to start with my 2 favorite in past XOOPS and e107, first have nothing, only easy to use Administration Panel. 2nd between 0.5 and 0.6 lost his beauty in templates (themes) and now is half xoops 2.5 - Good and Easy to use administration, few fully operational plugins(modules) and several blog looking like themes.

After 2 days of thinking what for really can be used XOOPS or e107, I've decided to give up from that idea for future and to forward the request to some Joomla!/Drupal/CMS Made Simple lovers....

Re: News 1.67 RC 1 ready for testing

Quote:

But in general you're absolutely right - we need to get more rigid with names of modules. People should be able to fork module but they cannot use the same name because it is then confusing, unless their fork is being merged into the official module, like this is done with NewBB.


Yay, from now I'm not the only one asking every day about naming policy and versioning in XOOPS... probably there is sign of light that this anarchy (no)rule will changes :)
