Modules: First public release of SmartClient !

Posted by: marcanOn 2004/12/22 19:01:32 6350 reads

The SmartFactory is proud to release the first Release Candidate of SmartClient 1.0. You can download it here : SmartClient 1.0 RC 1 The different language packs can be found here : SmartClient Language Packs

SmartClient is an advanced Clients Management System for your XOOPS site. It features all the fonctionnalities of the SmartPartner module but proposes to manage Clients instead of partners. Currently, both modules are pretty similar but they will evolved on different paths in the futur !

If you find any bugs or have any feature request, feel free to submit them in the trackers of the project at the Developer's forge.

Finally, if you have translated SmartClient in a language not yet available, we would appreciate if you could send it to us for inclusion in the SmartClient package. You can send language packs at client@smartfactory.ca

Enjoy SmartClient !

What is it? With the release of every module I have to guess what the purpose is.

It is not mentioned here and not on the Smart website. Of course I could install it and figure it out. But can anyone (the author for example) explain the goal, the purpose and some key features of this module.

Thanks in advance, Jan

Hi janmetpet, You do remember this is an Open Source community, right ? We are putting a lot of efforts and a lot of time to share our work with all Xoopsers out there ! Anyway, for your information, in the very news in which you posted this comment, you could see this : Quote:

SmartClient is an advanced Clients Management System for your XOOPS site. It features all the fonctionnalities of the SmartPartner module but proposes to manage Clients instead of partners. Currently, both modules are pretty similar but they will evolved on different paths in the futur !

Now, I agree it is not a detailed description, but it gives you some hints. And if you are not satisfied with this, no problem, you can go on SmartFactory's web site and see this :

You can then click on the Learn more... button to get more info or even click on the Discuss it ! button to kindly ask in the forum for more details about the module. Everyone in the community is usually always happy to give more information when needed and when asked kindly. And ultimately, if a module author is not posting ANY hint about what his module does, you could always test it yourself and then share your conclusions with the rest of us. This would benefit a lot of people. There was a guy somewhere who said : Quote:

Never ask what the XOOPS community can do for you but what You can do for the XOOPS community !

Now I hope they won't shoot this guy

Anyway, have a nice Christmas !

Hey janmetpet,

I just re-read your comment and found out that I may have missinterpreted the 'general tone' of your post . It's been a long year and Christmas vaccation will be reeally usefull !

Anyway, if you have other question, feel free to post them in the SmartFactory's forums !

Cheers !

Hi marcan

No offence, but for me all SmatrFactory modules are quite confusing.

1. As i understand each module have some extra features comparing to original XOOPS modules.
It would be great to describe these new features in announcement, otherwise you soupouse that each XOOPS user should install it and figure out the difference by himself.

2. Second thing what confuses me is, why it is neccessary to clone original modules? Instead of cloning You could just add new features to existing original XOOPS modules, especialy if you are a XOOPS developer as marked in you rank.

Once more, no offece marcan, just i am trying to explay things that confuses me.

Best regards
Merry christmas and HNY!

True - more modules should come with a description of what it can and cannot do

Marcan has a brand in the "Smart" modules and quite often it is far easier making things from scratch than it is building on top of other people's work - especially if the reason for one's efforts is that the existing work has too many areas that need a reworking

Also, Marcan is not XOOPS Developer - he is XOOPS Module Developer. That means that while not a member of the core XOOPS team, he is recognized as a contributor of third party modules to the XOOPS system.

No offence meant, I am just trying to explain things that confuses you (
