I'm glad to hear that you've found it. I'm sure that sooner or later they would mail you another invoice

Just use phpMyAdmin, export the user table, and then import (again with phpMyAdmin) into the new XOOPS Installation.

Realistically, probably not much. Facts are our friends, so let's take a look at the support provided on SmartFactory Website:

-------------------------------------

So as you can see, with probably only exception of WF-Downloads, the support is very sporadic there, to say the least.

But the fact is that many users of SmartFactory modules are coming for support to XOOPS Forums, and are getting help (e.g. see this thread or this thread).

So no reason to worry - we will provide support for SmartFactory modules here on XOOPS Website.

Quote:

Can someone please explain what is going on, as there would be thousands of XOOPS users, who are currently using SmartFactory modules? How does this affect other modules, like 'wf-links', which uses SmartObject I think.

There is and will be no effect for XOOPS users who are currently using SmartFactory modules. All current versions of SmartFactory modules that work on XOOPS will continue working on XOOPS. And we as a community will continue to provide support for these modules to the best of our capabilities. Remember - this is OpenSource and we all have the source, so things can be fixed, as needed.

Very nice! I love the pictures from the island - I would love to go diving there

There are some really cool designs.

Now, we'll need a lot of members who would like to help us with that. Those who would be interested to help, please PM me.

We are pretty much finalized organization of the Module Catalog. Over the next couple of weeks we'll be adding the modules to the repository.

Now we need help from XOOPS members to start testing the modules and providing us with feedback. Please let us know who would be interested in joining the Modules Team.

It's better to wait for XOOPS 2.3, which will merge the 2.0.18.1 and 2.2.x versions.

It will provide a migration path from 2.0.18

Brochures, flyers and alike are going to have to be outstanding or at least "different", fresh, innovating and all the other aspects XOOPS stands for right now.

And we would LOVE to have them. A cool brochure would be definitely great!

I'll see if I can perhaps setup a couple of alternatives for your template above, but again.. really not bad.. (some beauty mistakes though )

Fantastic! I'm looking forward to them!!!

In 2004 the Documentation Team of that time posted a proposal for a Documentation Roadmap.

Quote:

Core Documentation
This would be the core set of documents we need to be strongly positioned. Of course we can start with a lot less, but I’d say we do need a target to aspire to, and this list seems to be a very worthy target:

General Documents
(XR-001) What is XOOPS
(XR-002) A brief history of XOOPS
(XR-003) The XOOPS Universe
(XL-001) The XOOPS GNU/GPL License
(XL-002) Terms and conditions of use
(XL-003) XOOPS Privacy Statement
(XL-004) The XOOPS Foundation Charter
(XR-005) XOOPS Contributors

Documents for developers and power users
NOTICE: For this particular area this is a proposal to the developers. The more technical documents would be under the devs’ direct control, as asked by the devs themselves. This is an area I don’t know much about, so this is mainly a kind of wish list. Please be aware that these lists include both long and short documents. Some of the documents proposed here are only a few paragraphs long, while others are booklets or complete handbooks.

Roadmaps
(XD-001) XOOPS Core Development Roadmap
(XD-002) XOOPS Modules Roadmap
(XD-003) XOOPS Themes Roadmap
(XD-004) XOOPS Quality Control Roadmap
(XD-005) XOOPS Support Roadmap
(XD-006) XOOPS Documentation Roadmap
(XD-007) XOOPS Community Relations Roadmap
(XD-008) XOOPS Product Development Roadmap

Technical documents
(XD-101) XOOPS Core Functions
(XD-102) XOOPS Base Documents - phpDocs
(XD-103) XOOPS Base Documents - phpXRef
(XD-104) XOOPS API
(XD-104) XOOPS Javascript Functions

Standards
(XD-201) XOOPS Coding Standars
(XD-202) XOOPS File Headers
(XD-203) XOOPS Theme Documentation
(XD-204) XOOPS Theme Certification
(XD-205) XOOPS Module Documentation
(XD-206) XOOPS Module Certification

Documents for general users

Installation and usage
(XU-001) XOOPS Requirements
(XU-002) XOOPS Installation Guide
(XU-003) XOOPS Operations Guide
(XU-004) Troubleshooting XOOPS

Development at user level
(XU-101) XOOPS Module Development Guide
(XU-102) XOOPS Theme Development Guide
(XU-103) XOOPS CVS Access Guide
(XU-104) XOOPS SVN Access Guide

Assorted subjects
(XU-201) The XOOPS Module Registry
(XU-202) The XOOPS Theme Registry
(XU-203) XOOPS Hacks
(XU-204) An introduction to XOOPS and Smarty
(XU-205) The XOOPS Glossary
(XU-206) Best of XOOPS' Forums
(XU-207) An assortment of XOOPS FAQs
(XU-208) Favorite Code Snippets

Documents for new users

Visual introductions
(XN-001) A visual introduction to XOOPS
(XN-002) A XOOPS' Webmaster Basic Manual

Anatomy Series
(XN-101) Anatomy of a XOOPS Site
(XN-102) Anatomy of a Module
(XN-103) Anatomy of a Theme
(XN-104) Anatomy of a theme.html file
(XN-105) Anatomy of a style.css file

How do I... Series
(XN-201) How do I... install XOOPS
(XN-202) How do I... customize a site using XOOPS
(XN-203) How do I... manage modules
(XN-204) How do I... manage blocks
(XN-205) How do I... manage users
(XN-206) How do I... manage content
(XN-207) How do I... manage themes
(XN-208) How do I... manage images
(XN-209) How do I... create multilingual sites

Some of that has been written, but majority of that is still open. We would like to reevaluate the proposal, and then setup a new Documentation Team to start working on that. Please let us know if this proposal is still valid, and if not, what should be deleted or what should be added to it.

It's always easier to create a team and keep it busy if we know what exactly is needed to get done.

Of course, WE NEED VOLUNTEERS for the Documentation Team. The beauty of this is that you could be a beginner in XOOPS, but you could still contribute to this team.
