Modules: Articles v0.18a released, and new Events module

Posted by: AndyMOn 2004/12/17 7:36:32 5950 reads

I have released version 0.18a of my Articles module. This version contains a few minor improvements and bug fixes. The main change in this version is the addition of the pagination ([pagebreak]) feature.

Also released is AM Events, an events module that I started some time ago. This is the first public beta release. AM Events shows events as a list, with the next event at the top, events expire automatically, but are not deleted so can be relisted easily. There are 2 blocks, one is a calendar and the other is for upcoming events.

The search, notification and comments features are not present yet, but they will be added in the next few releases.

There are no database changes between 0.17 and 0.18a, so all that is needed is for the files to be uploaded and the module updated in the module admin area.

Please don't see my reply as pure negative criticism but after taking a look at your website for the calenderdemo, my first thoughts where: wow, this module does look like the tinyeventcalender module. (made by Chapy)(https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=164)
Is your module a fork/rewrite of this tinyeventmodule? Otherwise, before I'll decide to switch over, I realy would like the differences between these two.
Thanks in advance

No, AM Events is written from scratch by myself, and not meant to be a copy of any of the other modules. It does share some of the other's features (such as the calendar block), but that's impossible to avoid as they are considered "standard" for such a module.

As with Articles, when I started AM Events, none of the other event/calendar modules were suitable for what I wanted, so I started on my own.

If I had known about the latest incarnation of (I think it was) Tiny Event, I would possibly not have bothered, but seeing as I was about 90% into AM Events (and it suits my needs more) when it was released, I carried on with my own.

I am also working on two other modules that are not yet finished, they will also be released when ready.

As for comparisons, it's been a while since I've tried any of the others, so I can't remember them well enough to be able to comment. Well, saying that, I think the main difference (from what I can remember) is that Tiny Event displays the main events in a calendar format and AM Events in a date sorted list.

it would be nice if there is news 1.2 feature where you are able to show the articles by category and archive them in categories.

anyway great job.

edit edit-
another suggestion..
would be nice if you could implement the navigation thingy like soapbox has.

on top of the articles.maybe put the navigation thingy like this.

Home > Article Indexy > Category > Article

It's a Great, easy a does the job articlemodule! For those who don't need such an advanced featured article module this one is the best pick. (I hope this module will not get those fancy features, because that is what makes it different from the others)
Nevertheless there are a few tiny things missing )soem of them are already mentioned:
- User submit
- Search function
- Preference adminsetting: count articles show per category within category. ( like mylinks,mydownloads) If you have a lot of articles the list is getting very long. To long.
- Like soapbox (limecity already mentioned) navigate on top.

Best XOOPS wishes for 2005

@shine,
i made a tiny hack for the navigation thingy on the template. I edited article_item.html. Reference from the soapbox template.

Quote:

<{if $noart neq 1}>

<{foreach item=article from=$articles}>

Home > <{$article.article_title}>

<{if $show_art_posted eq 1}> <{$posted_on}> <{$article.art_posted_datetime}> <{/if}> <{if $show_art_reads eq 1}> (<{$article.art_views}> <{$art_reads_cap}>) <{/if}> Articles

<{$article.art_article_text}>

<{if $numpages neq 1}>

<{$article.pagenum}> <{$article.pageofint}> <{$article.pageof}> <{$article.pagenumint}>

<{$article.pageprev}> :: <{$article.pagenext}>

<{/if}>

<{/foreach}>

<{$index_link_text}>
::
<{$print_art_link}>

<{if $email_allow eq 1}>
::
<{$email_friend}>
<{/if}>

<{$commentsnav}>
<{$lang_notice}>

<{if $comment_mode == "flat"}>
<{include file="db:system_comments_flat.html"}>
