hello,

thanks for your comments, mith.

1/ Duplicable
Quote:
that's not the only reason. Many of us duplicate modules, especialy if you have a big website and many content writers.
Making module duplicable is easier if you think about it at the beginning of your module dev', by choosing good names ofr variables, etc.... I think is a worth extra feature, but should not count too badly.

2/ Module Version, Extra directory, XoopsTicket
corrected.

3/ Logo
where can I find original blanck logo ?
I'm ok with your coments. It deals with ergonomy, design constistency, and it's very important (think about our competitors)

I've added php5 compatibility + SEO. For this last, it's a way for XOOPS to be professionnal (i'll write some rules on that point).
I'm looking for a w3c compliant theme, that could be used as QA_testing_theme.
Mith, have you add "minaiato"'s hack (, as I can remember, sorry for mispelling) into 2.2RC, hack that brought XOOPS fully xhtml compliant?
I've added some security related links. I think this last part could perhaps be improved a little bit.

yes, it's a constant conflict ( same as in CBB 1.14)
i saw phppp made some modification into CBB, which has same constant error, is it the right way (having modifed his module)?

Quote:
it's for ergonomy. breadcrumbs to let the user be aware of his position in the admin area: he's in which module ?
That's why i propose to add module name between "Preference Main" and "General Settings".

for other points, ok, will wait for 2.4 !

marco

ok, thanks, this is the right way.
i've reported in dev.xoops.org's forum some side effects. I've just post a new version of our QA checking list, this tool will help devs checking some aspects to ensure their modules use @ the best Xoops's API.

And what about my previous posts (made this afternoon), that lists bugs/improvments that are still here (point 1 to 15) ?
marco

A new (draft) version is out.many thanks to kaotik.
Next step is to :
- freeze items,
- set certification process definitively.
- make a smoketest if necessary (beacause this tool is for devs only, since some technical aspects are listed).

hum, I forgot to delete this, since I remember after an offline draft to update other modules than System module !
rrrrrrrrr !
thanks phppp.

Quote:
I confirm this.

+ me MUST test further modules acceptance with this version. I noticed phppp has modified his module, but should each dev modify his module ??? Which part of module should mostly be impacted by this new version ????
Quick Tests we have made @ XOOPS France let us notice that some modules don't work very well with this version (but work with 2.0.13): catads 1.4 bêta (post does'nt work), wf links (category deletion), timesheetxoops (nothing is displayed). To be confirmed.
I must admit, if module is well designed (eg use core classes), it should work. All external scripts ported into a module (ex: timesheet xoops) have a greater probability to be impacted, no ?

depends how many times a day you are adding new downloads. If no, just set to maximum

Quote:
i guess it's only way to do, and it should work !!!
we are many to use XOOPS with high traffic. How many visitors do you have ?

Perhaps activate gzip option, but since I don't know which version you're using, i don't know if it will work. I read mith has corrected errors in this feature, but i'm not sure if it's done in last version or in next upcoming 2.2.

hy lovely core coders

here are a resume of bugs I've previously found but that are there there in last night Nightly Build version

1/ Notice [PHP]: Constant _MD_POSTEDON already defined in file modules/news/language/english/main.php line 88


2/ Private messaging / index , from main menu
Notice [PHP]: Undefined index: perpage in file modules/pm/viewpmsg.php line 173
Notice [PHP]: Undefined index: perpage in file modules/pm/viewpmsg.php line 180


3/Extended Profile/index from main menu
Some undefined constants in seach Profil function :
Comments Display Mode : all variables (_flat, _nested, _threaded)
Comments Sort Order: same Newest_first and oldest_first

Playing with admin area
--------------------------------

4//modules/pm/admin.php
Private messaging / index --> blank page

5/ Private messaging
. icon display in message list inbox/outbox/savebox
it's looking for /modules/pm/images/download.gif
example: /modules/pm/viewpmsg.php : image does not display for 2nd column


6/Preferences Main »» Meta Tags and Footer / Meta Author
is there any automatic keyword renderer, as in Hervet's or marcan's module ?

7/Profile/ field creation
could you add a "add a file" type of field ?

8/Profile , type of field
Could we group by default all instant messengers relative fields, so that thay appear all together, instead having Signature field (and so) between them ?

9/ Profile / Edit User : no user in select box. I have to use List feature ? why ?

10/ Profile/ permission settings / searchable by these groups
"Receive occasional email notices <br />from administrators and moderators?" --> br tag to remove

11/ Go to home
- I know there is a clickable logo, but why not making "Go to Home" more visible ? -->like in previous version, in top toolbar !

12/ Preference
there is a path link at the bottom of the admin page, but it doesn't display the module you are looking into (eg always Preferences Main »» General Settings).
why not adding with adding Home link in "Preferences Main »» General Settings" too, so it's look like "Home >>>Preferences Main »» Module >>>General Settings", for example

13/ There is a lack of Clear Cache fonctionnality. You still have to nabigate through admin in settinfs to clear cache. There is a lack of One shot clear cache, like one shot go to Homepage !

14/ Find user functionnality
module--->administration ---> system ---> find user.
This feature is not visible in admin toolbar menus

15/ modules/system/admin.php?fct=comments
if you navigate with IE through admin menus in admin toolbar, all options( eg "all modules" "any status") are hidden by admin menus, as you navigate through them.
It's a theme issue under Internet Explorer

Will check now if alain's findings have been corrected.
After that, I will try an upgrade and a new install.

marco

hum,
it seems you don't have set cache properly, no ?
about newbb : why not moving to cbb, whih is much faster
about wfdownload : which cache did you set ?
marco

do you know news 1.3.1 has these features embeeded ?
marco

Please find enclosed a new version of our work.
thanks for your comments.
We have to improve this, especialy on certification process.
marco

nb : this tool is designed for devs to help them : not to forget which core feature a module should have, which documentation, which tests it should pass, etc.. It's working paper, just use it as it is and do not hesitate to provide feedback/enhancements !
