Hello,

Is it possible to encode a specific module with IonCube or Zend Guard to protect the module's source code?

Or do we need to encode all of XOOPS code to protect one single module's source code?

Or is it impossible to encode XOOPS with IonCube or Zend Guard?

Thanks
Hirac

I am developing some modules for my customer. And my customer pays me for module development. And my customer wants to put his module in a web server as encoded, because he will pay for it.

The deal with XOOPS is simple. Module developers create solutions free of charge and without restriction to source code. In return, the community tests their work and reports any issues, also for free.

You are welcome to create an encrypted or commercial module for Xoops, but asking for help to develop it here is definitely not part of the deal.

You may however find some experienced XOOPS users who will be prepared to help you for a fee. Try posting at http://www.xoopslance.com

Hello,

First, there's no shame to use an encoder ...

Secondly, I can talk of my personal experience with Zend Guard.

You can just encode your module and not Xoops.
You can also exclude some files (from your module) to encode.

But you will need the Zend Optimizer to be installed on the server and depending of its version, the level of encryption will be different.

Bye,
Hervé
