Modules don't need to be GPL, even if someone will "try" and make a free version ...doesn't mean it'll be better, especially if its "non-gadget" oriented.

I think GPL is great, but it kills jobs, and takes ressources away from ppl that try to make a living off coding... Cause of the more general thinking: Oh the main program is GPL, so everything else should be free too.

GPL was meant to keep ppl like MS from locking down the source by making it proprietairy, not to create some new freeware trend (which it's unfortunately become).

Of course if ya like a product and they have a donation page or whatever..well contribute something to them

you could sell content subscriptions, but not the CMS itself, plus any modules you develop need to be posted for public consumption.

say you research information on "Topic Z" you could give access to paying subscribers... they are buying the content not the CMS.

you could develop a module and try to sell it... and you may, but if it is trully usefull somebody smarter will re-engineer it and give it away.

someone may have $ but no skills or time, and pay you to develop "Module Z" to their specs. Thats fine but the module is public.

think of this as a community in which you can trade modules at no cost... but if you score some $ with your site... you should remeber the tip-jar on this site, and help the community continue.

As I understand it anyway...

Thank you for the answer. Can you clarify the 'cms'?

I'm just asking, not flamming, but can you charge for xoops, meaning sell it to someone (installed)?

Xoops Hosting Forum Launched

Hey All,

In a purely self interested move, I just created a new forum called XOOPS Hosting. Now that you all have your XOOPS Sites, the next obvious step is to find a good, reliable host provider to showcase your work.

This forum is for folks to make Host recommendations, request hosting services, tell us your stories, etc....

And I say I created this forum partly out of self-interest, because hey, I need a more reliable host provider myself, so any recommendations will be much appreciated.

This thread should be made sticky, and the fix should be rolled into a patch.

I was also having the same issue. The script assumes that you are installing XOOPS in the root directory of your server, which may be the common instance, but it is a damn big assumption.

Having that dot in the path is important. I have 4 portals (2 XOOPS and 2 PHP-Nukes) and 1 YaBBSE forum I run on my server, each in their own sub-directory tied to their own sub-domain names. If each one of those were to insist on being in the root directory for install or operation, life would not be fun for me.

Is XOOPS used for business applications?

Hi, I came across XOOPS a few weeks ago and I really like the functionality and architecture. I've taken time to look at the referenced sites - had to use google translation on quite a few

But, I've not really seen too many business only sites - that I can use as reference models for a more corporate client. These clients will allow us to contribute to the XOOPS team in real $'s as well.

I see a real opportunity to use XOOPS for a Intranet / Client Internet solution but I would like to see sample sites. I also need this for proposals that I would prepare for clients. I can mock a site up but that's not really the same.

Anyone have sites to suggest ?

Anyone have screensnap shots of their internal sites if used for Intranet only that are willing to share?

Thanks in advance.

I had the same problem. I commented out line #44 $dirname = str_replace(".", "", $dirname); in xoopslists.php. It appears this line removes the "." from the relative path of ./install/language/ to the invalid path of /install/language/. I am not sure what the purpose of removing the period is this instance.

After that the install worked fine. But now I am having a problem where I only get blank pages when I try to load index.php.
