I will look into this for you... For Chronolabs Modules just put a request on under 'Hacks and Modifications' and when i have a moment, i will come up with some code for you to run as a PHP block..

Extreme Theme for XOOPS 2.5

Extreme Theme

Well I haven't released a theme before so I thought I should! This is solely not just my work it comprised of a couple of people's work to make this theme! This is being release cause it is GNU2 from aph3x so we have to release further modification as part of OSI and Open Source agreements!

Resized Image

This theme was based on bleekk's framework but was from pulse (http://www.aphexthemes.com/pulse-theme.html ) by aph3x (Erol) it is responsive and been highly modified for the community.

It includes a cycling background as well as gradients and plenty of CSS3 like for the title which include shadows and stroking. The main body is a gradient which if you want to change you will have to look up "Ultimate Gradient Generator" on google.com and change the CSS in /theme/extreme/css/style.css with the class tag to change which is .mainbody {}.

Cycling Background

This is designed to run on Apache with a .htaccess being included in /theme/extreme/images/backgrounds/ which is for the php file background.php which will search all sub-folders in /theme/extreme/images/backgrounds/ for suitable images and output them at scalar to 800x600 for the wall paper which is jQuery cycling and randomly changing method which is some additional code in the Java-script by wishcraft to have random background shifts.

Downloading & Unpacking

Download: xoops2.5_theme_extreme.zip - 5.3 MB

When you download the zip and unpack it, you will be presented with a folder called 'extreme' this simply drops into the /themes/ path of your XOOPS installation, remember too remove the sample backgrounds /theme/extreme/images/backgrounds/samples/ and replace the 'samples' sub-folder with as many sub-folder however deep with backgrounds and wall papers you want in the background of the module!

Further Media

Remember if you want to listen to some of my influential music tune intohttp://galactic-conquest.com it has guest access on subsonic, and Xortify (https://xortify.com) has reached the end of it SDLC... Check them out

You can speed it up by caching the token for a period of time with the following routine it uses the XoopsCache object to store the token, between one minute and one hour..

This is the Ultimate DOM Randomisation method with the seeding feed (http://seed.feeds.labs.coop) for seeding your randomisation! which is very important:

This will offer you an integer seed rather than parsing the full seed and is more largely based in the shuffle command selecting a number from the seeding token!

Seed your randomisation selection in modules!! Important!!

I can’t stress how important it is to seed your randomisation process in code! better still something we found in the BBS Days was if we didn’t seed from a token from outside our systems abstraction layer we would go in circles and so would our users. Here at chronolabs we offer a feed of randomly changing token on each impression, it also randomly displays a different number of them this is fromhttp://seed.feeds.labs.coop in the example below I use DOM to load the XML, Extract the randomisation tokens and then with mt_srand and srand seed the random selecting processes! The following function when you call it will seed your random selection process in both the old and new random selection routines all you need to do is call the function! This will work with any version of PHP 5 and any earlier with DOM Objectivity.


/* 

 * function that randomisation from a seed source tokens to make selection better

 */

function makeRandomSeeded() {

    $file = 'http://seed.feeds.labs.coop/';

    $doc = new DOMDocument();

    $doc->loadHTMLFile($file);

    $skip = array('This feed can', 'Current mode is');

    $elements = $doc->getElementsByTagName('description');

    foreach($elements as $element) {

        $seed = $element->nodeValue;

        $found = false;

        foreach($skip as $find) {

            if (substr($seed, 0, strlen($find))==$find) {

                $found = true;

            }

        }

        if ($found==false)

            $seeds[] = $seed;

    }

    shuffle($seeds);

    mt_srand($seeds[mt_rand(0, count($seeds)-1)]);

    srand($seeds[mt_rand(0, count($seeds)-1)]);

Remember Bug Tickets go here ::https://sourceforge.net/p/chronolabs/tickets/

There will be one additional module being none-depreciated that is Speedtest which is needed by Users Module!

XOOPS Modules that will not be depreciated for XOOPS 2.6!

Notably with the coming of XOOPS 2.6 a large contingent of the Chronolabs modules will be depreciated. Namely this is because we don't have the support of developers joining the project to continue development in man hours to convert all the modules to XOOPS 2.6

The following modules will be continued as development:

X-Forum (As Threads 6.0)
X-Payment (Payment & Invoicing Solution for XOOPS)
TwitterBomb (Twitter.com API Robot)
LinkedinBomb (Linkedin.com API Robot)
X-Center (Content module)
X-REST (Plugin REST API)
wURFL (Mobile Theme/Scalability/Detection Module)
X-TRANSAM (Language Translation Module)
X-Shop (Advance e-Commerce Solution [Unfinished])
MyGalleries (Rebadged MyAlbum Gallery for XOOPS)
Users (Rebadged Profile Module for XOOPS)

The following module have been branched to independent source forge projects:

EOOPS (Federated Social Network) -https://sourceforge.net/projects/eoops/
Xortify (Sentry Cloud Honeypot) -https://sourceforge.net/projects/xortify/

These are the only modules Chronolabs (Namely myself wishcraft) will be working on over 2014-2015. Any other project you are welcome to either send me an email and join the chronolabs sourceforge project to maintain or you can make your own branch of the module for development life-cycle.

I recently received a message on my Media Service (http://extraterrestrialsex.com) from a newbie user looking for Frameworks 1.35. I have packages Frameworks 1.36, which was deprecated in XOOPS 2.5/2.6 as most of the modules are self contained and do on demand not use the framework path.

You can download Frameworks 1.36 from my Sourceforge project which is at the following url: xoops2_frameworks_1.36.zip - 20.0Mbs.

Thanks for keeping in touch, if that newbie has anymore enquires please connect to my skype, the details are on my profile when your logged in!

Xortify is a honeypot which prevent spam signup as well as injestion of spam on your service! The hosting of the service is sponsored by ArckInteractive.com. We have signed the domain for the next 5 years under an SSL Certificate to ensure safe and warrantable communication with the service!

The clients for the cloud for XOOPS a number of months ago (Around 7) reached the end of their SDLC (Software Development Life-cycle). That means without any major changes they should not have to be updated for sometime and are completely stable!

Of course like with any API service sometime due to the Jitter on the web these modules will sometime through warnings or notices this is due to the nature of communication on the web. Not the modules themselves or the cloud!

The project has been forked to it's own independant project on Sourceforge.net which is found athttp://sourceforge.net/projects/xortify/.

You can download the clients for the modules from:

XOOPS 2.5: xoops2.5_xortify_4.16.zip - 1.2Mb

XOOPS 2.6: xoops2.6_xortify_4.16.zip - 4.6Mb

Thanks
