@Mithrandir: Thank you for the sugestion. I will take a look.

@rowdie: Thank you for pointing out the obvious. I thought I had seen it somewhere. I could not find in the main xoops, I should have checked in the development xoops.

Greetings - Bump!

Does anyone have any sugestions?

I am looking for a todo module. Something that will allow private and public "to do" items with an assignable priority. Created date and optional due date would also be very usefull. And obviously some type of description.

Any sugestions will be appreciated.

There might be an alternative. This is a sugestion. Post the resumes as articles and rather than give any contact information provide a number for each specific individual.

This will allow the clients to look at the items without knowing who to contact. You can also, generically list each company that they worked with and not give the actual name of any of them, specially their current one. Just give a generic "Company 1" and list all the experience for that company. Then do the next, etc., etc., etc.

Make sure that the articles list everything that any potential employer will need to make a decision but nothing that will identify the individual or places they work for.

That way they can not go around you.

Hope That Helps.

Go to the development site, press the "Module Dev Forge" menu item under "Development" over on the left hand menu on this web site.

Create an account for yourself. Go edit the account and you will find a link on top that has "Skill Set". You will see a primitive version of what you might be looking for. And you can download this by downloading the source code for the "Development Forge" itself.

To create what you want you might be able to start with that specific module and enhance it to your taste. It will be a bit of work though to get it to a true skill resume search module.

As far as I know this is the closest thing I have seen so far to the complement of the jobs module. Which I did see installed in your web site.

Not much help. But it is a starting point.

Glad that you got it solved.
Enjoy!

You might want to check your blocks to see if everything is showing on every page.

It might be that somehow your block placemenent has been corrupted.

Hope That Helps.

I withdraw my sugestion then, since it does not seem to be of any consequence.

@DonXoop: Let me make it perfectly clear so there is no misunderstanding. I was only talking about creating my own modules for my own private use, using XOOPS as a framework.

Thank you all for the responses and explanations.

May all your endeavors be successfull.

Can not get any plainer than that.

And while it is not effective yet, it sure puts a damper on anything I might want to develop for my private use.

And while this talks about modified "GPL" sources, it is not a far legal leap to "GPL" sources that run on a "public" server machine. And I certainly do not want to have the legal burden of proving that my module was developed without looking at anyone else's sources.

Greetings gtop00 -

Yes they do seem endless. And it is because of the nature of the GPL and its "interpretation".

Everything that you mentioned is correct.

But here is the problem. If you pay $$$ for a module, you do not want to release it because it gives your website a competitive advantage (either look, form, or function), and you run in on a "public" site, because of the current GPL "interpretation" you could be forced to hand over the source to that module, even if you do not want to.

Even if you funded all the development, nobody pays you a cent, and you do not release it, you could be forced to release it. And that means you paid for something, had to give it away, and never got any money for it.

As a developer, I have a little problem with that. If I spend 200 hours at $10 an hour (keeping the math simple) on a module to run only on my website that is a cost to me of $2000. Now because it runs on a "public" website and on a "GPL" framework, I get a little notice from the XOOPS saying to hand over the source code or face legal action. According to the "GPL" I am legally forced to do it. That someone will do it or not is irrelevant. It is legally posible.

If I want to give it away, I will do it. If I do not want to give it away, I wont. But under "GPL" I could be forced to do it, even if I do not want to.

I sugested a mixed model license to there could be an option to develop open source or closed source that protects me from being legally forced to put things into the public domain that I do not want.
