I am an application programmer, a relative newbie to xoops/php, and I probably only rate a 3 (out of ten) in terms of my understanding of the internals of xoops, and my php programming capabilities. I need particular XOOPS functionality for a project I am working on, similar to functionality I have in another development environment, but I have not found any published module that addresses all my needs. I am willing to finance the development of the module I need, subject to the module being released to the general community as an available module for xoops, under the standard license. The financing can be to the XOOPS coder directly, to xoops.org as a contribution, or a combination of both. I am looking for a *very* experienced developer to do this project, which must be compatible with (but not require) smarty templates, and XOOPS 2.1.1 and above.

The basics of the module have to do with generating "wizard"-like html screens in an application, for use mainly with handheld devices that support html display on small screens, although support for standard monitors is also required; the generated screens have to support dynamically generated css, a set of standard DHTML functions using javascript to communicate in an event-oriented fashion with php scripts on the back-end, manipulation of a MySQL data table associated with the application, and so on. A complete functional description will be available to experienced developers who wish to quote on this project.

The nearest XOOPS module I have found to what I am looking for is
No-Ah (http://dev.xoops.org/modules/xfmod/project/?xdb), but the paradigm it uses does not quite meet my needs. A useful class that partially met my needs is found at http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2251.html, but I am looking for a comprehensive solution that will reduce my XOOPS coding efforts in the future.

If anyone is interested, feel free to PM me or to reply to this post. Let me know how experienced you are in XOOPS 2.x module development - I do not think this project is suitable for newbies, at least not for me!

Search in users' signitures (Hint: a webmaster here provides such services), and you shall find who you should contact.
Do not send such requests here, as this site is only responsible for the free material. For more info please read this faq:

John_N, Mithrandir, Skalpa, Marcan, hyperpod, Ackbarr/ejuden/ajuden, jegelstaff, all these, and perhaps more, can provide paid development services for you. Contact them about your requirements

Alitan, we're not 'only responsible for the free material', as you put it. Lets get this clear once and for all, XOOPS is Free Software, but Free as in Freedom, not Gratis (as in free of charge). The FAQ entry is correct tho (but can be made more clear on the points on what it is we are responsible for), XOOPS.org is not a development company that takes paid jobs. That doesn't mean that any paid work should have nothing to do with xoops.org at all, requirements, testing, co-sponsors/investors, etc. can be found here and xoops.org can help you with getting in touch with developers. But XOOPS.org is not the one who will take on your project and build the module for you. That's all.

So, please, post your requests here online on our forums, so people can see we have professional developers who can do your XOOPS related work, and that we like to involve the rest of the community as well.
