What does it have to with a roadmap? We have a roadmap, let's just execute on this and make it happen.

My issue is with the fragmentation of the of the community and XOOPS resources, instead of pulling all the stuff together.

But you ARE competing!!!!!!! James, I love what you're doing for the XOOPS community, but your Website IS competing with www.xoops.org, whether you like it or not, and whether you acknowledge it or not.

I am not sure what is going on, but with the recent opening ofhttp://helpxoops.info/ by Carnuke, this is a very disturbing trend. It looks like there is some political battle going on with somebody not letting you make changes to the www.xoops.org website, and therefore you're feel being forced to open your own Websites.

Otherwise, why do it? From my experience people open their own Websites because:

a) they want to make money
b) their ego drives them to get more exposure with their "own" Website
c) they don't see like they have the opportunity to implement their ideas on the main Website because the "powers to be" don't let them
d) there is a disagreement and they feel they have to leave and start something new
e) ????

I am sure you won't like to hear it, but yours and Carnuke's new Websites are fragmenting the XOOPS community and ARE counterproductive to the www.xoops.org Website.

Our focus should be on fixing the www.xoops.org Website and NOT on creating 10 other Websites dealing with XOOPS issues.

Carnuke states on his Website:

So my challenge to him is: Why not change the www.xoops.org Website so it provides the "more reliable and accessible information"????? Why do we have to create a new Website for it?

What you guys are doing is giving the impression to others that the XOOPS ship is sinking and everybody is trying to leave it and establish their own XOOPS Website before it's too late . Just think about it....

As a "XOOPS user" I do NOT need another two Websites. What I need is fixed and updated www.xoops.org Website that provides me with all the XOOPS information that I need, a "one-stop shopping" concept.

Do we have covered all of these bugs? Is somebody monitoring it?

How could we utilize Prado (http://www.pradosoft.com) in XOOPS?

I believe, Skalpa was talking before about a plan to re-architecture XOOPS to be more component-based.

It seems like Prado has the right architecture to make a component-based development very easy. I'm coming from a Delphi world, so Prado feels very intuitive for me, while I could never feel comfortable with the current framework.

But since I'm not an expert, I would like to hear opinion of the main developers of XOOPS.

One thing that strikes me is that by using Prado, we could have access to a whole new world of components that we wouldn't have to develop ourselves, thus speeding up XOOPS development. We could also gain a lot of new programmers, who currently are using Prado and could consider developing Websites based on XOOPS.

Any thoughts/opinions?

BTW, Borland's division CodeGear is coming with "Delphi for PHP", based on Qadram's QStudio and it this could be also very interesting, because it could provide us with RAD tool for XOOPS.

But when???? Hopefully soon...

The problem with the Bluemoon hack is that it's for News 1.44, and I have already installed the 1.53 version, and don't feel comfortable hacking it.

I like this one better:

http://www.univision.com/

See like each category has a spotlight article, and the picture from that article also becomes a picture for that category on the front page.

Personally, I would love to have an option in the admin to choose for each category:

1) no pictures
2) category picture
3) picture of a spotlight article

Currently, we have (1) and (2), but we need the #3 implemented. If we could have something like Univision out of box, Joomla could be forgotten :)

I like it, but is there any chance to include an option to have individual pictures for each news? See here...

Where could we download it?

Any news on this?

BTW, did you talk to Herve to include your hack in the News?

The mystery is solved. I didn't have the YouTube Plugin installed, I was just pasting the YouTube code directly into TinyEditor.

Now that I installed the plugin, everything works.

Thanks for your help.
