hi all. after listening to many complaints and looking around xoops, dev.xoops and sourceforge is seems clear that XOOPS as a community is in very bad shape from an administration standpoint. xoops.org and dev.xoops.org is in poor shape. our sourceforge page is empty except for the occasional spammer with almost zero cvs and svn activity. please see my latest post here.
i request that i be seriously considered for the post of 'lead project manager'. my goals would be purely administrative. to provide an environment for free software development to thrive. if i am not chosen for this position i highly suggest phppp and skalpa choose somebody to do this. XOOPS desperately needs an administrator and manager.
what does the community think?
thanks for your time.

hi all. the very best computer email list i belong to allows everybody to post and only stops spammers. it is an excellent free exchange of ideas by free software developers and supporters. free software and free speech go hand in hand. hiding speech and hiding code is not FREEDOM and is not in the free software spirit. free speech will make us stronger. the best ideas will (eventually) win. i strongly vote against any type of hidden or closed door conversations or coding. such practices have no place in my philosophy of free software.

hello Giba. i'm very glad you liked the video. i know it can be hard to understand because of the language difference. i know a little spanish and a little japanese. new languages can be difficult. i wish i knew PHP better! :) i'm very glad you liked the video. XOOPS is such a great product. there's no reason we can not be the number one CMS in the world. i really believe that if we cooperate and communicate the excellence of XOOPS will continue. i'm merely trying to remind people of that. hopefully in the future i'll be able to contribute more to our community. i'm glad to see that there's others who feel the same way. i really think that if we follow the examples of other great free software projects things will go better for XOOPS. it's a pleasure to meet you. - eric c.
p.s. - you're from brazil? i love jiu-jitsu!!!

Dave_L, oh, sorry about that, i didn't know you were no longer an active member of the management team. where can i find a clear listing of who's on what teams? particulary core devs? i would like to become more active in the community. i'm going to start on writing up some documentation on CBB and the news module this week. hopefully it will be of use to newer users.

hi vaughan, it's a pleasure to chat with you. if i understand correctly, you weren't a part of the conversation but are just relaying information passed to you? are these conversations taking place on a dev mailing list or something that i can subscribe to? not that i claim technical ability enough to be of much use to a real programmer, but as a member of the community i would like to listen in. thanks for any info.

my comment sounded like it was a discussion behind closed doors with the devs. it wasn't with the devs, it was just relaying some information from the devs for some future news articles etc in relation to some of the communities requests

hi wizanda,
i've read some of your posts before and enjoy them very much. i didn't know this video had already been posted. i'm trying to learn more about the Free / Open Source development model. if you have any suggested links i'd love to see them. thanks.

Thanks for posting that.
In my opinion, some of the points made in that video illustrate what's wrong with XOOPS development. E.g., lack of a design direction and poor communication.

This is take 2 of this video on here, bandit-x posted this also and we added it also on my site......find it quite meta-physical and suggest everyone watches it; as in any community scenario it has allot of useful points in it for everyone.

Google Tech Talks January 25, 2007
ABSTRACT
Every open source project runs into people who are selfish, uncooperative, and disrespectful. These people can silently poison the atmosphere of a happy developer community. Come learn how to identify these people and peacefully de-fuse them before they derail your project. Told through a series of (often amusing) real-life anecdotes and experiences.

hi all. i just happened to visit securityfocus this morning and saw this. i don't know anything else about it but thought it best to mention it in the forum. hope it's useful.

hi all. newbie php questions here. i have a basic understanding of how to use xoopsDB. I'm currently trying to write a script to clean up my database and i'm getting the error,

i have the following on my index.php page,

and this is what clean.php looks like,

so i guess my question is, how the heck do i execute this query? is it not proper to do it as an include or am i just using xoopsDB incorrectly?
thanks for any tips.

DELETE * FROM xpstestsite_xps_torrents WHERE TIMEDIFF(NOW(), xpstestsite_xps_torrents.last_scrape) >= '0000-00-02 00:00:00'
Error number: 0
Error message: Database update not allowed during processing of a GET request
i have the following on my index.php page,
Quote:
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH.'/modules/xpstorrent/clean.php');
and this is what clean.php looks like,
Quote:
<?php
/*
* xpsTorrent! - a bittorrent tracker module for XOOPS

* clean.php
*/
require('../../mainfile.php');
global $xoopsDB;
// if scrape fails for 2 days DELETE
$table = $xoopsDB->prefix('xps_torrents');
$result = $xoopsDB->query("DELETE * FROM $table
WHERE TIMEDIFF(NOW(), $table.last_scrape) >= '0000-00-02 00:00:00'");
?>
so i guess my question is, how the heck do i execute this query? is it not proper to do it as an include or am i just using xoopsDB incorrectly?
thanks for any tips.
