I can take half the ball and roll with it.

I'd love to get a couple of packs done, setup and manage demo sites with the packages.

Would you like to manage the demo links(at least of the main feautured modules)?


Does anyone have a suggestion or would like to complement more information to this document?

Gosh Solo...this depends so much on what people want to do with their sites and their target audience it could be really difficult...

but I have an idea...at least a 'basic concepts pack' useful for new xoopsers containing some basic and commonly used modules like
-news - because it is the most basic of 'content' we could use
-forum- it's a popular communication tool and a good one to learn the issues of site management, securitym groups and permissions
-downloads - good for learning to use your ftp program well
-faq's - a nice simple module suited to almost any topic - either on how to use a site as a registered user or on the content of the site
-image manger/album in a simple version.
-back up module (can't recall the name right now) - but because we keep reminding ourselves to 'backup' this is an 'essential' tool.

But if you were to package a beginners pack you would also need to have read me files that address the needs of beginers, directs them to the documentation and tutorials etc.

Once a new user got the hang of these modules they would then be better prepared for more complex modules...some of which I use and some I don't. I read about a lot more modules than I actually use!

So much of creating a good site is about discovering which modules best suit your needs. It would be a hard task to choose one module over another for a package unless maybe you 'themed' the pack somehow...

I don't know...just running ideas off the top of my head here now...
Gamers pack
Multimedia pack
Community organisation pack
Ecommerce pack
Information/resource pack

But then again I would be really careful that these modules had appropriate review files because the process of download, install, try, discover it does or doesn't do what i think has been very time consuming....but great learning see....i can't make up my mind on this one! I learned so much doing this even though it took heaps of time that in the end it has been a worthwhile process....

Lance, well, I was thinking about the demo sites you had in mind. You can see the document I started here:
http://xoopsdocs.net/modules/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=en:module:manuals

There's a place where to add a demo link.

There's this site http://xoopsmods.mmwebsites.com/ with demos of lots of modules and access to the system admin, I haven't looked at it in detail but some things seem a little out of date. I like alot the reset option there.

It would be nice something that could be up to date, I got a chance to see the site you setup with the 2.3 (http://www.gdl-web.com/xoops230/) version with a quick translation to the news: XOOPS Core development news: This month in svn.

Maybe it would be nice to setup the demo site with this version? What do you think about it?

Giba: some modules there I had never seen, will take a look at those

Hi Snow - i've sent you a message via PM .. I think it'd be a good idea to perhaps work with Bluenova and update his very clever demo site perhaps with some of these modules (and i'm sure you can do a great job with the theme as well )
