Hi !

As you may know, I (via my company, InBox Solutions) would be interested in developing this module.

I had been in touch with Andy for some weeks now about the Mailing list module. I've also looked at the other php mailing list around and I beleive we could inspire ourselves from the features in those mailing list. However, I'm confident that we would have a better module in the end if we make it a native XOOPS module. To my experience, porting a script is usually not a good thing on the long run.

I beleive developing a new module from scratch would be better and less expensive.

The first thing that need to be done is to establish a list of features that would be needed in this module and grade them from "Mandatory" to "Would be nice". Then I could estimate the overall cost of such a project and then we could see if the community would be interested in investing in such a module.

One thing is for sure : a LOT of users would benefit from such a module ! How many of them will be interested to participate in this project !

Cheers !

Hi malexandria,

First, I'll need some info :

PHP version ?
Apache version ?
MySQL version ?
XOOPS version ?

Secondly, about these notices :
Quote:

Notice [PHP]: Only variable references should be returned by reference...

These tell me that you are probably running PHP 5.x. This is caused by the XOOPS core being developped on PHP 4.x. Future release of XOOPS will adress this. But in the mean time, even if it can be annoying, it should not be a problem for the good functionning of your site.

As for this :

Quote:

Error [Xoops]: Smarty error: unable to write to $compile_dir '/home/eclispe/public_html/templates_c'. Be sure $compile_dir is writable by the web server user. in file class/smarty/Smarty.class.php line 1084"

Be sure that the templates_c folder is writable (usually chmod 777).

And also, be sure that all files of your site are properly chmod :

Everything in 755, except :
- mainfile.php : chmod 444
- folder templates_c : chmod 777
- folder cache : chmod 777
- folder uploads : chmod 777

Finally, regarding this :
Quote:

SELECT s.*, t.* FROM xoops3_stories s, xoops3_topics t WHERE (published > 0 AND published <= 1140701539) AND (expired = 0 OR expired > 1140701539) AND (s.topicid=t.topic_id) AND ihome=0 AND t.topic_frontpage=1 ORDER BY

If you run this query in phpMyAdmin, what error do you get.

Let me know !

TeamSpeak Server with MySQL 4.1.14

Hi fellow Xoopsers !

I'm trying to set up a TeamSpeak server to work with MySQL 4.1.14.

I've found the correct MySQL 3.x client library and put it on the right folder on the server.

Here is the server.ini MySQL related info :


[DBEXPRESS]

sqldir=mysql_sql/

Drivername=mysql

Database=xxxxxx

Hostname=localhost

User_name=xxxxxx

Password=xxxxxx

GetDriverFunc=getSQLDriverMYSQL

VendorLib=/usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.10.0.0

LibraryName=./libsqlmy.so

Active=1

When I start the server, here is the log :

McNaz, Jharis,

This is a very interesting idea. I have been doing paid custom development for many users of XOOPS and I beleive this kind of module would be really usefull.

I would be interested in this project MxNaz, if you think you could need help...

Let me know !

I just get so fed up with people that never bother to read the GPL. They all have this idea on what it means but they never actually read the GPL.

I agree with you. Most people don't know or understand the GPL. I agree it may be frustrating sometimes...

@mongrel:

Given the Global reach of XOOPs, it seems likely that someone, somewhere is doing that very thing. Enforcing compliance can be quite difficult, especially if the seller/installer is a fly-by-night operation.

I also agree with you. It is obvious that people around the world are doing this at this very moment. Fighting those people would require A LOT of energy for very little gain...

I understand it's frusrtating... But it's life ! Some people care about the others, and other people don't. We have accept that.

Law actions agains those people is highly improbable as we don't have the money nor the time to do it.

My thought on this is yes, we can send them a letter an notify the GPL organisation but that's it. After that, let's focus on what we do best : creating the best CMS around !

Cheers !

netshark, calm down

I beleive this discussion isa very calm discussion and nobody insulted nobody...

I beleive we all agreed that they are not broking any law and they comply to the GPL. No doubt about that.

The only thing we are saying is that the wording could have been better. When you read their ads, it seems like you are actually buying the software, which is not the case. You are buying the installation, the services, the hosting etc...

Cheers !

Hi guys,

In fact they are charging for installation, hosting and support :
Quote:

** This software comes with free professional installation
** 1 year of completely FREE hosting and professional customer service.
(including 1 on 1 live chat)

They are not selling the code, they are selling services, which is totally legitimate. XOOPS is licensed under GPL and accoridng to this licence, you may charge the client anything you want, but the code itself will never be the property of the client. You are not selling the code but the service.

So there is nothing wrong here and for 57$, you get a script, 1 year hosting and 1 year customer support, I would say it's a pretty good deal if you need something like this and can't do it yourself.

The only problem is a moral one. Should they have mentionned it is based on XOOPS ? It would have been a good thing. But they don't have to. As long as the proper credits are wrriten in the code itself, everything's legitimate.

However, please note that I am not a lawyer and this is only my interpretation of the GPL.

Cheers !
