2.5.5 modules???

Hello everbody, i've been running a xoops 2.3.3 based web site for years. Now I need a more modern and organized system with better performance. My site is big now and changing to another cms/framework could be too painful. I'm studying the evolution of xoops in this years.. I see the stable version is 2.5.5. I wanna play with this release but when I go to the modules section here all I find is old modules: (might not work on latest XOOPS Version) . Isn't there a place where I can find modules for the latest relase only? Is 2.5.5 improved in performance compared to 2.3.3 ?

1) Most XOOPS modules work fine in XOOPS 2.5.5, but you need to test the modules that you use to make sure. Just install XOOPS 2.5.5 as a test installation, and test the modules there.

The biggest challenge is if you're also changing the PHP version, as some modules might not work properly, but again , this is a very small number of them.

2) There are several modules that have been updated to the new XOOPS 2.5.5 Admin GUI. See this News, and see if they are on the list there.

So again, the best way is to test them.

thanks a lot!!!, those are good news for me and my team. I've been reading all changes from 2.5.1 to 2.5.5 and I'm excited . I will try some of those modules and some old ones too.

what about module development documentation? where can I find it? I'm familiar with the old module structure and xoops core classes but I learned most of it by myself....

There are some pointers to older stuff on our Wiki

For XOOPS 2.6.0 this will need to be updated/rewritten. We'll need volunteers to help us with it. So if you do anything with XOOPS 2.6.0, please take good notes, so maybe we could use it...
