Hello,

Here are some features I'm dreaming on every night about XOOPS !


- true antispam feature

- embeeded pdf generator (today, each module needs its own class)

- improved search result display (open results in a new window, highlight, search by date or between a date range, etc.)

- full xhtml compliancy
. https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=34205&forum=14
see wanikoo's works

- LDAP improvments (pemen seems to have projects on this)

- SEO optimization / metagen / embeeded url rewrite engine
See Hervet's and marcan's works on these points.

- finish PHP5 compatibility

- wysiwyg editor : option in admin for extended /light toolbar in koivi.

- new image/item manager : should be great to add a pdf/word/excel file like an image in a text (left, right, center)...
quota per user feature, thumb, interface improvment, Sub categories, mass image uploader, Sorting
Catz should work on that, as far as I know

- embeeded multilangage feature

- new multimailer (send mail to big number of users) eg. send email by packet (10 users after 10 users)

- embeeded multisite management (see mith's hack for 2.2)

- Improvments in Block configuration (see GIJOE's works)

- Optionnal Visual confirmation feature for new registrations

- Auto PM / auto forum post greeting for new registred users

. see phppp works in CBB

- Automatic Delete unactivate users after xdays
https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=33243&forum=14

- gzip re-implementation

Hope these will offense nobody.
I still know the tremendeous work that core team make on the 2.2 branch. We have time to imagine future, but I could resist to share / collapse my ideas...
Hopes these will give more ideas to all of us !
Which one of these will core team pick up ?

marco (lambda xoopser)

nb I know, we have time for that. Let's finish our holidays first !

- increase XOOPS speed display
some code cleanup (depreciated functions). See here too -GIJOE's and skalpa works) https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=40109&forum=11&post_id=175718#forumpost175718

Can I sign you both up to code all this work for the community?

Or is this a wishlist? Cos I can add a ton of wishes here too...

Herko

Hahaha,.,.lol,.,.,.ahum,.,.sorry

Well, you r living in "XOOTOPIA" ... so things need to be considerd as a kind of utopia's wish list

I had to add mine: a decent mailinglist, that will support categories for archive and will be able to import and send mail to more then 1000 with no "exsusted php massages" ... my poor php.ini is dying out there .... exsausted on the sidewalk with no one to help .... and that's just with 4800 users.
If "mail to users" stays a core thingie ... it should work .... also uotside "XOOTOPIA"

and .. mine is just a wishlist ...

thanks for not seeing my post as an attack guys

As for wishes, please consider this important point: the Core is supposed to provide the means for modules to operate as intended, and not have tons of features itself. So, if it can be done in a module, put it in a module

Herko

But he has a point about that some features are better implemented by the core or an external module, for example, a module that can provide a basic print/send to friend/pdf feature to other modules, in a way that you can use, update and control this features in a global way.
Is that possible with the actual core?

that is exactly what we are working on. The PM and extended user profiles modules are a first step towards that goal.

Herko

Herko, glad to hear that. I'm currently slowly building a site in Xoops, but I've tested (and still do) some others CMS (I think I will post about that in the future, perhaps can be useful to some newbies). Something that I really envy from others like Drupal for example, is the way some modules can add features in a global way, like the upload module (to attach files to ANY text), the autolink (transforms any http//xxx.xxx.xxx to a link) or the hotlink (cross links articles and news automatically).

no, I'm waiting for testing, as i'm pretty good @testing process and few people do so !

Quote:
some of my items are major core improvments that will make XOOPS more professionnal (SEO, metagen, xhtml, etc.). This list is only for core code, not for modules( eg : it's better to put pdf generation in core than to duplicate it in each module).
Some of core devs have already worked on these points (ex; metagen,SEO,search), let's incorporate their work into core !
