Koudanshi is very good about updating his files to work with XOOPS updates nearly as soon as XOOPS turns em out, & he is incredibly nice about helping with any issues that may arise with his modules.


That I do not doubt, I've spoken with Koudanshi, and he is one of the best, but if something was to happen in his family and god wish it never will happen, or if he takes a long holiday, or other unforseeable things arise, then you are still left waiting.

This would be better as the core module for XOOPS in order for support and upgrades, but then what would Koudanshi if the XOOPS dev's make it core, would he still be involved in development and even though he is an outstanding person, the Devs may not be looking for other Devs.

But I think IMHO we should stick with Newbb and if the Devs wish then work on that and upgrade it, incorperate new features.

Of course like I say this is IMO

I think most site owners get too hung up on their Forums and various bells and whistles. While the end users really don't care which forum package you use. All they want to be able to do is have a discussion, and use smilies.


Well said Malexandria, I don't get it too, Newbb is fine, we don't need this that and the other, imho.

The only thing I would like to see in XOOPS is notification of PM's via E-mail which I think would be cool, and the option to turn it on or off for different groups.

Apart from that, Newbb goes down a treat.

Sorry for making 3 posts, but because of the ammount of writing in each post, I felt it better to reply sep.

I am currently running 4 XOOPS sites, all of which have been converted to use the IPBoard by koudanshi. The features of the IBF module far outweigh any issues about waiting for updates post-official-upgrade. If it werent for the availability of the IBF module, I would never have chosen XOOPS as my CMS.


Good luck updating your XOOPS site, when XOOPS CMS gets upgraded, that will be a fair wack of work, a long waiting time until the module dev updates his.

The problem with swoping the main forums for Xoops, is all the users, still using Newbb, what happens to there posts, Devs then have to create upgrade scripts, then XOOPS is no longer XOOPS but XoopsIBF and means we use a non GPL board, and are forced to keep links back to the IBF site, which from a business point of view don't look too good. of course this is all IMHO

This is coming from a total PHP / CMS newbie purely from the viewpoint of manageablity and functionality and site layout. I almost chose PHP-Nuke over XOOPS with one of the main reasons being PHP-Nukes use of the phpBB forums (I also like the Somara XP theme for PHP-Nuke, I'm sick I know ) . One of the other major issues I have is with XOOPS is the CSS aligment issues with the seemingly very broken IE 5.X.


2 things:

You could use the phpbb module or IBF module

There is a windows theme for xoops, infact I'm sure I seen two on one of the theme sites.

Hope this helps

I don't mean to make this sound negative, but with both IBF and PHPBB modules, they make core changes to the XOOPS files, my only concern is that when Xoops.org upgrade there scripts, you will need to wait for the dev of these modules to upgrade his modules, especialy if you are inexperianced with php.

Although these modules are great, and the Developer has done a wounderful Job, you have to take this into account and bare this in mind, especialy if Xoops.org Dev's make a major Security updates, you will be left waiting until the mods are updated before upgrading your security.

This is another concern of mine with core hacks.

Sorry about this, but I feel it is something people should be aware of first.

Linux
PHP Version 4.2.3
MYSQL 3.23.49 (I think that is right, got from the php info)

Is there anything else you like to know.

I can mail all smaller groups, and on other sites I run I can with smaller groups, but my main site has well over 1000 members, and I can't e-mail them to tell them about our new e-commerce shop or our new free and paid e-mail service.

Is this problem going to be fixed, when ever I send to messages to a large group, I get a 500 internal server error, but works fine with smaller groups.

Please tell me there is a solution?

Wicked work, although I won't personaly use it, I expect some will, you should make it a news post.

I would like to see the Devs include this as part of the core, as I'm always reluctant to use modifications unless they are core, because when the next release is made this may not be compatible, or at least I would then need to re-code everything back in.

If the devs make it core, can we have the options from admin to chose when we want it to expire, and even chose by groups who we want to allow this feature too.... that would be cool.

Any way good work keep it up my friend.

I asked a simerlar question, about the security, but don't seem to remember getting a reply, but then I posted straight mentioned to cut the risk you could, and I would any way, protect the directory with .htaccess, then you run no risk of direct access to your database through PHPmyadmin.

The only downside to this, is you gotta log in twice, once admin, then second to phpmyadmin.

I thought it might be worth mentioning the .htaccess thing.

I just had a look at my archive of modules and it was myxoopscart, the original dev that brought to xoops, now users E-Xoops rather than xoops, so I don't think he activley develops it any more, although like I say, it seems to work and is availiable from his/her site:
