The situation is that many people these days are using certain type of security reflected as a firewall, a popup blocker, turning on security flags in their browsers, etc..

For many of us who use a light firewall like zone alarm, is anoying at the beggining not knowing that this program has to be tuned-up 'manually' in order to access the XOOPS site. And if any user of the site is using other type of proxy is hard to advice them what to do.

Most of the sites that uses cookies to remembers the name/password in IE don't have that problem with my zone alarm.. So I don't see why XOOPS should be different..

any thoughts on this ?

yes! Please do something about the neverending cocckie / firewall problem - loosing users on site due to loginproblems.

Then I find a hack to this problem on the site - and the moderator of that forum is just answering *we cant recomend it, due to security issues*

Well what then

I get that! And I thought I was doing something stupid.

I work with Linux, so, no chance (!) to use IE, I might finally turn that feature of Mozilla off, but I guess a check from XOOPS would be more secure and not very costly.

I wouldn't expect XOOPS to be as mainstream as the Nuke flavors until XOOPS hits the final 1.0.

The nukes have been around longer and have had more time to build up a user base.

I am confident users will come with time and more development.

Harkov Thnx for you words!!

We like mantain a LOW profile for now.

You can see ton of changes into each rc and we don't like lost energy now with newbies users.!!

we not need promotions!! prefer work with calm and step by step and without pressures.

The XOOPS users know that Each RC is a revolution into the codes.

Me phrasse ever is "TAKE with calm "

In fact I often go on postnuke mainsite because there I download module to adapt

But maybe postnuke users don't know how to adapt XOOPS modules ^-^

what do you think the 'standard' for this is? i've been looking at...curious about...wanting to setup...or write..or port...a webmail system that would be integrated into xoops, so i can just goto my site and when i log in, it'll tell me if i have new messages as well as allow me to view them.

the question is, what do other people want? is something on the level of say yahoo/hotmail needed? or is the integration of something like squirrelmail/etc good enough? when i say integration, i mean having a config where you'd setup your imap/pop server/servers. not having to log in after you've clicked on a link. and possibly importing that mail into the XOOPS pm folder...which then leads to folder support/filters/etc...

i'd like to work on this, but it depends on how 'integrated' you mean. something that directly interacts with the pm folder, would require 'core' changes. something that is simply an 'internet messaging' block, with typical webmail tools, could be done as a module.

anyway, this is getting off topic from the original post

i think XOOPS is a wonderful tool, and as a developer, i think it's extremely easy to work with...rather than all this extra functionality built into the 'core'...i think XOOPS simply needs a few more quality modules to support this functionality, like webmail, contacts, tasks, journal, newsletter...not just wrapped up ports of other existing php apps that are not integrated with xoops.

Dadabik is really a cool application, and the XOOPS sections module that we will include in the final version has a similar concept where you can define custom fields, or even create a new section for example yellowpages section, DVD database section, books section etc.
