Hi guys,

Can you suggest me all stable xoops editors compatible with 2.5 branch? I ask cause I remember there were certain security issues with some of them or is it my imagination?

PS. Also are all of the editors listed athttp://sourceforge.net/projects/xoops/files/XOOPS%20Editors/ working?

Have a good day,

I'm really surprised Niva's exported anywhere outside Russia lol. Greetings from Russia

Looks very good indeed!

I recently customized bootstrap for my xoops website theme:http://bit.ly/Lt6v3I . It is really awesome and is compatible with any device.

I believe you can use the News module since users can submit their own articles there which can be rated and commented.

While I was in the army I earned some extra cash with my Xoops site. So when I got back it was enough for me to buy a nice Lenovo laptop and three months partying =) Viva xoops indeed!

Hey guys,

I wanna talk about tricks and techniques you use to improve your site load parameters. Nobody likes a slow website, so lets work together on bringing the best xoops experience.

I've recently made some on-page optimization myself, lets start from it:

1. Optimize your images size. Most of the images can be optimized and their size can be reduced with no quality loss. I used this tool (http://www.punypng.com/) for this purpose and it worked like a charm. I've saved up to 100 kB by just doing it.

2. Combine images in a CSS spray. A lot of people use it now, but for those who's not aware, CSS spray is like a set of all images you have on your page combined in a single file rendered only once when you load a page. It reduces the number of http queries and your page loads much faster. I've had like 20 different images on my homepage so I combined them into 2 css sprays and it reduced the number of http queries from 99 to 75 which is much better. I used this tool (http://css-sprit.es/) to do this. I lot of modules like newbb with lots of separate icons and buttons will load much faster if you make a css sprays for them.

3. Combine your css files into a single file and optimize it. I noticed than in my theme first it loads xoops.css and style.css then. My style.css has everything xoops.css has so by removing a call to xoops.css from theme.html I've reduced the page size (for like 15 Kb) and one http query which is good too. Then I optimized my css via this tool (http://www.cleancss.com/) which reduced my css file size in two times.

Initial data (viahttp://tools.pingdom.com) : Queries: 99, Page size: 705KB.
After optimization: Queries: 75, Page size: 537KB.
The page speed needs some weekly average data so I can't tell the results now.

A lot of things can be done additionally (like .js files combining and compressing) but I don't know much about it so I hope someone will share

angelomorto, do you need a rating module or a chat module your link points to? the rating module has not been released publicly yet, the chat module is available athttp://xoops.ws/modules/news/article.php?storyid=36.

My congrats to all!
