Since some weeks I'm thinking of a checker module for XOOPS,
I don't know whether this has been discussed before.
(I did a search but didn't found anything)
So here we go:
What should the checker module do?
1) Checking integrity of all the XOOPS files:
When a XOOPS version is released, also a list of all files with their appropriate hash values is provided. (I'm thinking of a XML-File)
Also we can provide the information about the necessary file/directory access rights.
Also 3rd party modules could provide such a XML file.
With a given name, a given place, the checker module can check also this modules.
Also some other information could be provided, e.g. whether this module needs 'safe mode' on or off etc. (ideas are welcome.)
2) Also this module could check whether the information which is in mainfile.php is ok. (physical path, database connection.)
3) Maybe there a some other things this checker module can check automatically (database integrity?).
At the end a report is generated about all the found error/problems. Also as DonXoop mentioned in an other thread:
Quote:
Central reporting for all core versions, 3rd party that plug in, server OS, backend versions, PHP and running configs, etc.
Any other ideas?
Or do you think this checker module wouldn't be helpful.
