X-Forum is a completely extensible forum module for XOOPS, this is the complete stable release of the first version of 5 series, it includes multiple fields specifiable per post on individualized forums much like profile module.

Designed for XOOPS 2.5 and later version, it was written in response to problems with earlier forum titles, that had in some cases installation issues. With a broad range of options. X-Forum is a great solution to your forum requirements, complete with RSS Features and image management. It will utilise a wide range of options and allow your community to discuss issues, raise topic and solution. Complete with .htaccess example and SEO with a medium URL.

It has the ability to aggregate categories and forums to languages as well as domains with multisite 1.40 or X-Language. This means you can have forms and forum which only display on particular domains or under certain languages.

With X-Forum you can have all the convenience of the modular newbb path without the result. Based on CBB with a sound environment that even your grandma can use, I know mine does this is solid stuff coming directly to you under GNU Licenses.

Simon, I was happy to see that there were no error notices in this release, at least at the first look! Nice!

But can you ensure that there is no image being downloaded from your site?

Right now, every time I go to any of the tabs in admin, a banner is being download:

http://www.chronolabs.org.au/images/banners/loader/supportimage.php?flash=false

which slows the display, and poses security issue.

It is a policy (and we had this issue before), that nothing gets downloaded from somebody's website without explicit permission of the user.

So unless there is something in module's Preferences to allow image downloads from your site, where the user can explicitly allow that (default should be for "No"), then please remove it.

But I am happy to see that it seems like all the "error notices" are gone now! This is good progress!

Thanks!

Thank you zion and thank you mamba, sure I will make the changes later today and repatch the zip so it can go in the news.

Oh come on mamba what is wrong with a little advertising

Simon

Quote:
"Little" advertising is good, but this was a HUGE ad!

Our suggestion is to:

a) use simple button like this one:



You can use this Website to create a simple text button

b) never force the user to download anything from the module author's Website without the user's permission, i.e. all the images should be placed in the image directory.

thanks mamba, i was only copying inboxes iFrame, anyway never mind i have removed it for the meantime..

The ZIPs and SVN has been patched - PLEASE DOWNLOAD AGAIN

Ready the publish the news on this and the other 2 items, flowplayer and xortify, take it away mamba
