Hi Aand thanks for the bug reports.
As for SmartObject being a module, well I beleive it's a more natural way for users. Users are used to install XOOPS module, it's easy.
Plus, SmartObject has some administrative features now and will have more in the futur. For now, it has a Links managing system and a multilanguage Tag managing system (which is not completed). The Links system is a feature modules cans use to add a little "Send to a friend" link on there module pages (articles, forums, posts, categories, whatever...). Clicking on that link will display a popup window where the user can enter the name and email of his friends, plus he can customize the message. SmartObject will send this and will keep track of everything : who sent it, when, to who, etc... Of course, one will be able to disable the "tracking" feature if he does not need it.
You can see this live
here. Have a look at the little Send to a friend icon on the bottom left of that page.
And this is only one feature, but I have other in my pocket for the futur...
I also plan to fully document SmartObject has it can done a lot of neat things
Currently, we have SmartContent and SmartSop that are fully usig SmartObject (SmartMail is not currently using it at 100%). Those 2 new modules should be released soon.
Hope this answer your question !
Cheers!
