News: XOOPS Addons

Posted by: davidl2On 2007/10/23 23:14:47 12215 reads

XOOPSaddons.org opened today as another community-driven site to provide a central repository of XOOPS modules, themes, extensions, templates and language packs.

This long-awaited and much discussed resource is the work of many contributors and every effort has been made to give credit where credit is due. There are still plans for additional features for the site, including multilanguage support, supported and maintained module packs and a companion demo site.

Now open! http://www.xoopsaddons.org

Currently, the site houses over 400 modules, more than 400 themes and 60 language packs. This is not a complete compilation of all that is available to extend your XOOPS site, but the work continues and the community's assistance is greatly appreciate in completing and maintaining this repository. If you would like to help in any way, please contact the team using the Addon Team Forums - http://xoopsinfo.com/modules/newbb/index.php?cat=8

We would like to offer a thank you to the XOOPS Foundation for allowing this Community Project to use the URL of : http://www.xoopsaddons.org. The site also shares a common style with the Foundation web site, using a theme whose main design by Snow (XOOPS Design), Skalpa & Rowd.

Your great contribution is appreciated.

You could submit the news article to another category so that it can be made as spotlight.

YAXS is not allowed to be spotlight according to a non-written management rule.

cool .....thank you for this...

just one question..
is the site is the official module&themes repository of xoops.org ?

would be great if it would replace the current module repository and themes section of xoops.org

keep up the good work guys.....

Mamba Published 10/24/2007 4:40 Updated 10/24/2007 5:51 Moderator Joined 04/23/2004 Comments 11409

I guess, I'll be the only one who is going to rain on the parade, but what is so great about this Website????? Why is everybody so excited about it? Yes, it looks nice, and yes, it has needed modules and themes. And yes, I do appreciate all the work that went into it.

But the XOOPS users have been BEGGING forever for fixing the Repository Website

https://xoops.org/modules/repository/

which is part of the main XOOPS website, but it never happened! WHY?

Instead, we are now dealing with another fragmentation of the community (the first one was http://xoopsinfo.com)

Why is the energy spent on developing this Website not invested in making the XOOPS Module Repository work?

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but it comes across like some childish egocentric games where people instead of pulling together for the good of XOOPS, are trying to create something different where THEY have the control!

Why are we doing this to ourselves?

I'm reading the introduction and I'm lost! "The XOOPS Addons Repository is a Community Powered Download Site.

If this is correct, then who powers http://www.xoops.org? And XOOPS Module Repository? Aliens?

I challenged JMorris after he created XoopsInfo about the ValueAdd of this new Website, and I couldn't get any clear answer what was different besides duplicating the resources on http://www.xoops.org And I couldn't get any clear justification in another discussion either

And here we go with the same again! What is the ValueAdd of XOOPSAddons over XOOPS Module Repository?

Something didn't feel right when I read the last statement: "(The full version of this news release can be found on XOOPSInfo)"

WHY the hell do I have to go to another Website (XOOPSInfo) to read the full press release? WHY can't I read it HERE - on http://www.xoops.org? Why am I being forced to do it? What is again the ValueAdd of that, except forcing more traffic to XOOPSInfo?

And another surprise was the statement "We would like to offer a thank you to the XOOPS Foundation for allowing this Community Project to use the URL of http://www.xoopsaddons.org " Why is Foundation getting into that? They should be there to support XOOPS and not contributing to fragmentation of the XOOPS community.

I truly hope that this is not yet another attempt to "hi-jack" the XOOPS project. This happened already before (when some of the people decided to oust Mr. Ono), and this might be at work again, this time against phppp. After all - remove the reason to go to http://www.xoops.org for information (since we are forced to go to XOOPSInfo) and for modules/themes (since we are now forced to go to XOOPSAddons), and what will be the reason to go http://www.xoops.org at all? Almost none. And this will fragment the community and kill the one central meeting place that we have.

If we really care about XOOPS, let's start working together and consolidate our limited resources instead of fragmenting them further.

To me it comes across very childish. Something like "If I can't play my way then I take my toys and go somewhere else." There was this big tam-tam about HelpXOOPS, but now rabideau & carnuke took their toys and went somewhere else. JMorris started to change passwords even after his resignation on June 28, 2007, where he stated clearly
Quote:

Effective immediately, I am stepping down from all XOOPS Project positions.
D.J. is now your sole leader.
My only involvement with XOOPS will be confined to XOOPSinfo.

Why is it "my way or highway" approach for them so important? This all is so childish!

Fragmentation DOES NOT work!!! Why did Windows kick butt of all these different flavors of Unix? Only having finally a strong version of Linux did provide some push back to Windows.

Why are European countries building European Community? Why are United States of America a superpower? And why unified Germany of 1871 was stronger than the bunch of independent German kingdoms, grand duchies, duchies, principalities, etc. before 1871?

What XOOPSInfo and XOOPSAddons are doing is just that - contributing to fragmentation and confusion of XOOPS users. Let's fix finally http://www.xoops.org and https://xoops.org/modules/repository/ Websites and move forward TOGETHER with creating XOOPS to be the best CMS!

But if XOOPSAddons is just a temporary solution till https://xoops.org/modules/repository/ gets fixed, or if this is a playground to experiment with a design for https://xoops.org/modules/repository/, then I don't have any problems with it, and I'll take all my rant back. But then it should be clearly stated as such - a sandbox or a patch and not as another "XOOPSInfo".

Hey Mambo,

I can totally appreciate what you are saying but I think you missed an important point to this. D.J. (PHPPP) expressed his gratitude for this project in the very first response to this news item.

I do not think he feels as though this is a power grab or fragmentation of the community. Quite the contrary. With community working together and some simple technical details sorted out this site could become http://addons.xoops.org or http://modules.xoops.org or whatever. The key is that the current servers are operating well beyond their capacity and this is a rather well thought out implementation that should be applauded.

Seth,

as I stated earlier, IF XOOPSAddons is just a temporary solution till https://xoops.org/modules/repository/ gets fixed, or if this is a playground to experiment with a design for https://xoops.org/modules/repository/, then I don't have any problems with it, and I'll take all my rant back. But then it should be clearly stated as such - a sandbox or a patch and not as another "XOOPSInfo", and I'll applaud it, as you suggest.

And I am not saying that everything has to be on the same server! We can redirect http://modules.xoops.org to the new Website, but there is no need to create http://www.xoopsaddons.org/.

If you read my discussion with JMorris, all what I am asking is a consistent, user driven, XOOPS Website, without several different Websites with overlapping content.

Can we agree that fragmentation is bad for the community?

phppp Published 10/24/2007 6:37 XOOPS Contributor Joined 01/25/2004 Comments 2857

I expressed my gratitude very quickly to the contribution of the people who have been working on the repository, but not to "fragmentation".

Ad I have expressed many times, we have only one XOOPS.
Anyone could have his own way of contribution, but I am personally loyal and sticky to only ONE XOOPS.

At risk of being declared a heretic, maybe there will be scope in future to discuss adopting addons as the official repository. Since it is already done, no need to duplicate the effort. The difference between having it here or there is just a domain name. The current official docs site was initially developed as a private site and later on adopted as official like that.

I realise there are a lot of management issues that need to be discussed before anyone would feel comfortable with this so please don't throw stones at me. I know!

Anyway, congratulations to those involved and at least we now have access to an up to date repository, that's a huge step forward.

All credit to davidl2 and the team for a nice looking site. But I agree with Mamba. Why could this have not been achieved on xoops.org?. Is the module repository here now to close?. The add-ons site community (intended I assume for discussing issues with modules) links to xoopsinfo.com. So is Xoops.org forum going to close?.

The site looks great, and it's much needed... I haven't looked too closely at it (except to notice a number of my themes listed :) ).

Have the listed modules/themes been tested / rated for the latest version of Xoops? If not, will they be?

Yes, this stuff integrated into XOOPS.org would be best, but this is much, much better that what we had just a week ago, and at least SOMEONE DID SOMETHING.

Great job, David.

Nice!
But........ Why not mention with the specific module if it is php5 comptible. Since not all modules are
Alos why not mention if the module is XOOPS 2.2. compatible, since not all modules work fine in this version and vice versa.
These information is needed at the module information.

Last:
some module download links are refering to: http://sourceforge.net/projects/xoops/
to fetch the download. But this site is temporarily down.

I'm glad you mentioned this shine. Clear system requirements for modules and the ability to search by Xoops, PHP or MySQL version was something I was hoping for. Incompatibilities with hosting set-up are often the biggest cause of problems, especially for new XOOPS users. The new repository looks great, but module selection is still a gamble, although I appreciate that attribute searches are a limitation of the download module (something for the next version perhaps?).

More importantly,(IMHO) xoops.org needs to make a decision and take action to bring co-ordination to this and the various other sites. Otherwise add-ons will be left floating around as yet another dis-embodied fragment of XOOPS support.

There are a lot of modules and nobody has ever tested all of them to find out

But I started a thread to collect information about PHP5 compatibility.

If you know certain module is/is not compatible with PHP 5, please help out by posting this information and it will be added to the module descriptions in the addons site.

Actually DJ, maybe you should have given David an apology than anything else. It's a shame you can't work with all this community as a whole rather than your core developers.

This (and many other things) should have been under XOOPS control and could have been if you hadn't decided to push everyone away.

Good work David and your team.

Time to get out a begging bowl DJ and start asking these people to rejoin the XOOPS Community as a whole and not as a fragmentation of it.

These information is needed at the module information.

Yes, it would be a very interesting information. The problem is that normally that information must be provided by the authors. Now the site has the information that we had got searching in the author´s page, announces in this site etc. We had published the avalaible information.

1. Congrats to the team. Nice to see you went through with it. Thanks.

2. To those asking why it was not done here: Sorry i see people asking that question who read here a lot ... and to be honest, its hard to say its easy to overlook. People got their butt kicked more than once. People don´t trust the current (unstable situation).

Don´t get me wrong ... some months ago i too argumented that this should not happen on a different place but well before loosing more of those i considered friends around over here i stopped arguing and working on anything XOOPS related and took a step to the sideline instead. I still think it should somehow be integrated at some point ... right now until all outstanding issue regarding to the future operation of Xoops.org are resolved i see no way for that to happen. Even then ... a lot of trust to be earned before you get a chance of this happening. However since its open to anonymous and you don´t have to register to browse the site i guess its not too hard to visit a second site for now.

Perhaps the folks behind xoops.org can answer that. It's a very good question.

simple answer, we did it, we designed it, we opened it, and we did it originally for xoops.org but the work was refused, and you as a community didn't want it either, that's why it's there now as it is and not done on xoops.org, because we decided to continue to build the site & run it ourselves!!

don't blame us!!!

and get with the program, where on earth did you read that xoopsaddons was in anyway official to xoops.org? it is a community site designed by community members, and there is NOTHING wrong with community sites is there?

as for discussing it on Xi, well the site is designed by Xi members, it's where we all work and hang out, it is the best place for us to discuss issues with it. and it is the chosen place by the addons team to discuss it. it certainly is more user-friendly there and better organised.

we all have our reasons for not frequenting these forums on xoops.org anymore. mine is primarily that Damaster is active on this site!

Re: XOOPS Addons

Peekay Published 10/25/2007 0:16 XOOPS is my life! Joined 11/20/2004 Comments 2335

Support for XOOPS is getting progressively worse because of the fragmentation of the community that once kept it going. This is entirely the fault of the person with the FTP code to this site - nobody else. The work of the teams created to make improvements here appears to have been ignored and the resulting bitterness has alienated many talented XOOPS users (like vaughan) from posting here. This has effectively destroyed what a few years ago was an excellent support site.

I use several ecommerce and content management solutions, some of which are considerably more complex than Xoops. In all cases I get excellent support from one official user forum. Upgrades, security patches and modules come from the same place. That is the way to do it.

If the internet publications that monitor CMS development were aware of this fiasco, I doubt if they would ever recommend Xoops. I certainly wouldn't at the moment. I know how to use it - which is a bloody good job - because I doubt a new user would know where to start in getting help. You can search for assistance with a module where?... on any one of several unofficial forums (plus the developer's site) or you might like to try your luck here.

I have been an avid supporter of retaining centralised support at xoops.org. It's a fantastic resource and there's LOADS of information here. But the pompous beaurocracy that results in every proposal requiring a manifesto makes my town hall look efficient. The sad fact is, none of the seemingly 'official' proposals regarding restructuring, new themes, new forum structure etc. ever happens.

I get the impression that the people behind xoops.org are smiling and thinking, yeah, yeah... whatever. We have the traffic and the user-base so chill. If that is the case, perhaps XOOPS official support should indeed be relocated.

Currently we have many people willing to and being making great contribution however very sadly we have been in very big mess:
the overall structure of XOOPS entity is unclear,
the future usage of xoops.org domain is unclear,
the usage of XOOPS servers is unclear.

The migration of xoops.org to new severs has been delayed for many months and I can not see an expectation, which has stopped the community from building the new XOOPS sites and teams.

I do hope everyone of us making constructive comments and proposal to survive our XOOPS before it gets too late:

yep, i quite agree. although there are other reasons. my bitterness is easily swayed. but like i said over a month ago now.. it's either Damaster or myself. the community chose to keep Damaster (who incidentally, does and has never given any kind of support for XOOPS ever!! he has even used accounts unauthorised that were hacked/cracked. he even posted using herko's account when he was pretending to be someone else (xguide). but still, the community chose to keep Damaster. was my ultimatum, you chose, i quit!! and i will not return to a support role while ever he is active here! if david or marcan can't persuade me at all to stay, then i doubt any1 else can. marcan & david i respect a hell of a lot.

vaughan,

you have to learn to be a better/smarter man

Why did it even come to that choice: XOOPS or Damaster? Why are you focusing on negatives and let the Dark Side take over your soul? Why does it have to be "Me or him?" Just ignore his posts and focus on positive within XOOPS!

If Damaster was doing a criminal activities (like posting under different name and falsifying identities) and it can be proved beyond any doubt, then I agree, he should be removed.

As I've mentioned before, it bothers me this kind of attitude of "If you don't play my game, I take my toys and go somewhere else"! That's not very mature!

I hope, you can rethink your decision....

i provided evidence a while ago when i asked for him to be banned. well i provided some evidence, but maybe i should have spent more time and posted everything, but i expected that other people would also chip in and provide links etc to other posts.

but the evidence is here on this site. just search his post history, then goto his other accounts and check post history etc. then read how many OFFICIAL WARNINGS he was given before he was banned.

yes he was banned and he was warned publicly many times, he has posted under lots of accounts. xguide was 1, nuno another, he also posted with herko's account once, he has also posted with other peoples accounts because the moderators were informed by hervet (i think originally) that the person using that account was not the genuine person, instead it was Damaster using his account. the evidence is all on this site.

rethink my decision? why bother? nothing i say is ever listened to anyway. as for respect and appreciation, nope can't say there's any of that either.

am i the only person to quit posting here because Damaster is unbanned? no i am not, he was a big contributer to many people quitting, me, james, jensclas etc. i'm not saying we all quit solely because of Damaster, but yes he was certainly 1 of the main reasons.

It seems to me that it's an easy decision for Damaster. If he just keeps posting then he's got control of your destiny at XOOPS?

If he can just add new accounts how can you prevent him posting?

Thanks B - but don't down-play the work you contributed .... many descriptions came from the community initiative you kick started with your "Repository rebuild" - which many XOOPS users contributed to!

Even if this site never gets adopted by everyone - I hope it is useful for some users... that's something at least.

This happened already before (when some of the people decided to oust Mr. Ono), and this might be at work again, this time against phppp. After all - remove the reason to go to http://www.xoops.org for information (since we are forced to go to XOOPSInfo) and for modules/themes (since we are now forced to go to XOOPSAddons), and what will be the reason to go http://www.xoops.org at all? Almost none. And this will fragment the community and kill the one central meeting place that we have.

may i remind the addons friends that last year, as we worked on the addons subsite, i invited carnuke, dave_l and few others (included DJ himself) to come and work with us on the addons site. it has been refused by those who fragment actually the community. those are lying every time they can. they are incredible !!!

Finaly, originaly, the goal was to priorize on top quality module. some fields that deal with compatibility (xoops/php/mysql) were set in the template. here it's much more a race of "we have plenty of modules, neverless we know if they work". But main issue is that this site has been opened the same day d.x.o has been hacked. it's a huge coincidence.
lies one day, lies allways.
please open your mind, they are playing with you.

Jezus Christ I am getting sick and tired of the accusations towards one and eachother.

During the last 2 years XOOPS has become a mess, is a mess and will stay a mess if this internal war goes on and on.

Who cares anymore. Sorry to say but definately not me anymore.
Users are already lost with al the xoopssites..

As for the php5 compatibility:
PLEASE USE THE SEARCH on XOOPS.ORG. You will find already lot's of results concerning this question and answers considering this question regarding some modules.
Don't start to invent the wheel over and over again. It disturbs me that the topic concerning this re-question has been opened on xoopsinfo and not -again- on xoops.org

I tryed to add my module SendMoney/Makepayment to the XOOPS addon site and it was never added to it, plus it is slow and clunky... Nice theme made by XoopDesigns.com but I get them to make themes for my site..

I am not sure if I will goto there site again.. bit sad when you will list only modules you feel is 'appropriate' I have always used the XOOPS website that is http://www.xoops.org, plus I ship a copy of the book to every site owner i make a site for..

Xoops is a great system all nice and web 2.0 system, but why would you try and put your finger in the pie; it like registering a microsoft website like microsoft coders. or something I don't know I have been programming for 20 years, i am new to php, only really be dev in it for the last couple of months (maybe 11) but I like the new compilers that are coming our for it being a coder nor a scripter normally.

And I only asked to have my module added because a user on here asked me to add it to xoopsaddons.org probably some dev of it, and you know I found it a little tooo faced.. and why are all these xoop addon people not 'friends of xoops' you would think you would donate if you are so crash hot on XOOPS to have a XOOPS related site!!
