I was searching a solution to test XOOPS at work in my free time and i found many useful tools to run apache, MySQL and XOOPS from a virtual drive USB in this forum thread.
It runs perfect on USB key.

Good luck.

Mr. Gijoe as find a way to change admin interface to implement XOOPS Cube ergonomic menu without hack XOOPS core. He provide a feature with is module altsys to let users hack cpanel and switch back with easy. Very interesting code.

Rico getElementsByClassName and dom effects have to be used carefully as request should be serialized for less securities issues with XOOPS (fail to protect user data). And also to reduce redundancy and user time waiting. Without core development here, I read at xoopscube.org some interesting possibilities to create new render for XOOPS and some work to implement ajax was done by Mr. Wanikoo with XOOPS default modules.

Good luck.

You should verify your script around document.getElementsByClassName to lower the amount of redundancy.

It should gets only child nodes from the node you specify, instead gets all in the entire document.

If it allows you to pass in an element
document.getElementsByClassName('foo', 'bar');

Perhaps it will return all elements descending from the element with the id of bar.

If nothing else, simply replace this function with a wrapper around document.getElementsByClassName to lower the amount of redundancy.

Now you have training Rico which provides some amusing widgets to play with dom fx effects and found new problem. These technics are good to use with a Graphical User Interface plan and improve usability. But to apply on content and reduce wainting time of request why you don't try a library and start a render system with new core and with less security holes?

Good idea to include debug with your theme.

Sorry but your engineers are alike kids trying to do what mama would like them to do.

Here is another one from a friend blog site. Enjoy!


One day I was driving around the valley and saw a sign in front of a house: "Talking Dog For Sale." So I stopped, got out of the car, walked up to the front of the house and rang the bell. A man came to the door so I asked him if the sign was real. He said that it was and that the dog was in the backyard.

So, I went into the backyard and saw a Labrador Retriever sitting there.

"Do you talk?" I asked.

"Yep," the Lab replied.

"So, what's your story?"

The Lab looked up and said, "Well, I discovered that I could talk when I was pretty young. I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time at all they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, because no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping.

I was one of their most valuable spies for eight years running."

"But the jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger so I decided to settle down. I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings and was awarded a bunch of medals.

I got married, had a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."

I was amazed to say the least so I went back to the house and asked the owner how much he wanted for the dog.

"Ten dollars," the owner said.

"Ten dollars? This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him so cheap?"

"Well, because he's a #OOPS# liar. He never did any of that stuff."

Needless to say, I didn’t buy the dog. I hate liars!

Hi Farshid,

Glad to see you around.
I would not say that JSON is completely secure.
But with XMLHTTPRequest + JSON we get the best performance
(easier to code and i believe to fix too).



P.S. Damaster works is based on some array/object issue reported by Joe. I'll check the code and post here or pm.

Damaster last work and get some usefulllinks and tips
here's a link about a starting point to fix some issues
we may found many others by testing scripts with 'Firebug'

http://wiki.script.aculo.us/scriptaculous/show/JSON

"As you can see, JSON couldn’t be much simplier and easy to use, but be aware that this method as is, is not the best solution keep in mind that it’s Java Script that get trough eval(), so be carefull. The Prototype library offer a method to parse json reponse, which does exacly the same thing as the script above.. It should not pose any security risks since the response, in theory, can only come from the same server from which the request was recieved, but sadly the theory and the real world are rarely the same. so better prevent than repair."
