Common Utilities and xThemes
I'm very glad to inform you that there are new updates for Common Utilities and xThemes available for direct download since Xoops México or trough the rmcommon integrated update system. Details below:
[size=x-large]Common Utilities 2.1.8.91 RC[/size]
Common Utilities
Common Utilities is a new Module/Framework that allows to improve the general XOOPS features by adding new capabilities and provide a entire new environment for new modules. With rmcommon is possible to create a new kind of modules, more flexibles with better integration between them. In addition, with rmcommon plugins is possible to extend even more the offered features, by exemple, to integrate new external services or provide very specific behaviours.
As you can see, Common Utilities is now RC, thanks to all people that helped by reporting bugs and send comments. This new version contains a lot of improvements and fixes, including: ✔ An integrated updates system. This means that you can update any supported module with a simple click trough rmcommon. ✔ Writing of htaccess files. Now rmcommon supports the writing of htaccess file in order to facilitate the configuration of modules like mywords, dtransport, etc. and their friendly URLs. ✔ Custom codes. With custom codes you can extend the funcionallity of themes, plugins and modules by creating an easy way to add data in blocks, texts and more.. ✔ Plugins. Through plugins, is possible to add new features and specific behaviours to XOOPS or rmcommon. ✔ Very flexible new blocks system. With new block system you can add all blocks that you want using new positions that you can create acording to your needs. This means that you can integrate new blocks positions in your themes or templates in any place, without limitations of current XOOPS blocks. ✔ Adaptative new GUI. An adaptive web GUI for XOOPS that can be activated and deactivated according to the module where you work on. ✔ A very versatile image manager. A new image manager that can be integrated in any module or plugins easily. ✔ New system for comments. Easy to use and easy to integrate, rmcommon comments are more usefull and moderns. ✔ Very easy translations. Thanks to the use of po files, translate rmcommon and modules is very easy using software like poedit. This is a non exhaustive list of rmcommon features. You must test it in order to know and take advantage of a really new kind of modules. Very Important: Since this new version, all updates patchs for rmcommon and Xoops Mexico modules will be availbale through the integrated updates system. Full packages will be available as always but I recommend to update (for existing users) using the updates system. Download Common Utilities here.

Sports Pack (Football/Soccer, Cricket, Darts) converted to XOOPS 2.5.5 Admin GUI

zeroram recently suggested that we update our Sports Management modules

So today we're making the first step: I've converted these three modules to XOOPS 2.5.5 Admin GUI, and tested under PHP 5.4.12.

The modules need more work in the sense that they are not using XOOPS API, and would have to be fully converted to "Blue Move", but for the time being it seems like they are doing the job.

But since you can now install and test them on XOOPS 2.5.5 and PHP 5.3/5.4, I hope that we'll have users who will want to work together on improving these modules, and converting them to XOOPS API.

So let me know if there is any interest in improving these modules any further.

Download:

Resized Image CricketStats 1.20 Beta 1

Resized Image MatchDart 1.60 Beta 1

Resized Image TPL League Stats 1.10 Beta 2

Also, we've updated recently the Team module, for playing games on line, so you can test it as well:

- Team 3.02 Beta 1

XOOPS Module Packs Overview- Draft 1

It's time to finalize our Module Packs.

Below is the preliminary list of modules, and their place in the proposed Module Packs:

- Basic
- Community
- Company
- eCommerce
- Mega

The requirements for all these modules are as follow:

- XOOPS 2.5.5 Admin GUI
- active development/maintenance
- tested and working on XOOPS 2.5.5 and under PHP 5.4

In Green, modules that are tested and released.
In Yellow, modules that are still being worked on, and if they're finalized on time, they will be included.

I am sure, that we've missed some modules, or some modules might be duplicate, and should be removed. Some modules might be not in all appropriate Packs.

If you don't know some of these modules, you can find descriptions for most of them in this article, or in the "XOOPS Resource Book"

Please let us know what you think in this thread.

Tutorial: How to update tables to follow XOOPS' new naming scheme?

As you might already know, there is an effort to standardize our module development - from using the same module Admin GUI structure, to using the same icons across all modules, from using the same pagination structure for each table, to naming the tables and fields in a consistent way (see this thread). This tutorial will show you how to modify your module so it can rename the tables on the user site, when the user updates the module. This will follow the scheme suggested by alain01 The new table naming scheme is: mod_AAA_BBBB where AAA is the name of the module, and BBB is the name of the table. For example, when we have in the News module a table called "topics", in the new updated version of News, it will become: mod_news_topics Here are few steps to follow, as used recently in the Pedigree module called "animal": 1) The new version should have the tables defined properly in the SQL file, so new installation have the right tables installed right away 2) In the existing installation the users normally copy files over, and then run "update" in the Admin. Therefore we'll need to add a file with the updates. We'll call it "update_function.php" and will place it in /include folder 3) In order for XOOPS to call this file, we'll add in xoops_version.php file following:
$modversion['onUpdate'] = 'include/update_function.php';
4) In that file, we start by adding a function to check if the table that we want to rename, does actually exist. This is done by using a function created by Hervet:
function tableExists($tablename)
{
    global $xoopsDB;
    $result=$xoopsDB->queryF("SHOW TABLES LIKE '$tablename'");
    return($xoopsDB->getRowsNum($result) > 0);
}
5) then we add a following function that will be executed when we click on the Update button:
function xoops_module_update_animal()
{
    global $xoopsDB;

    if (tableExists($xoopsDB->prefix('eigenaar'))) {
        $sql    = sprintf(
            'ALTER TABLE ' . $xoopsDB->prefix('eigenaar') . ' RENAME ' . $xoopsDB->prefix('mod_pedigree_owner')
        );
        $result = $xoopsDB->queryF($sql);
        if (!$result) {
            echo '' . _AM_PED_UPGRADEFAILED . ' ' . _AM_PED_UPGRADEFAILED2;
            $errors++;
        }
    }
    return TRUE;
}
In this code above, we are checking if the "eigenaar" does exist, and if it does, then we're renaming it to "mod_pedigree_owner'". Of course, this is done for each table that we want to rename. 6) We also have to rename all occurrences of the tables in the code as well. a) as a first step, it's easy to just run search & replace using as part of the search the word "prefiix", so in our example, we'll replace: prefix("eigenaar") with: prefix("mod_pedigree_owner") This is for cases where we call the tables in a conventional way. b) But people are creative, and it might happen that they do it differently, so nothing will save us from testing, and eventually searching for the word "eigenaar" in all files, and then making a judgment call if it is meant as a table and therefore has to be renamed. The new naming scheme will make it easier two things: - to see in phpMyAdmin (or any other database tool) all the tables from a module grouped together. It will also distinguish them from the Core tables. - in the code it will also make it easy to find the tables just by searching "mod_MODULENAME" In the near future, we'll also consolidate names and characteristics of the typical fields in our modules, and provide them as guidelines. When you look at our modules, the same field could be named differently in each module. Let's take "Group ID" - it could be: gid, g_id, group_id, gr_id, etc. And if you are trying to maintain a module from somebody else, we are wasting too much time trying to figure out what a particular field is actually for. If you have improvements for this tutorial, please let us know. And most importantly: - If you can help us to streamline and standardize module development, we would very much appreciate it. - If you like how a particular module does something and think that other modules should do the same, let us know. - If you see something cool being done by other Open Source Projects that XOOPS could benefit from, please let us know too. Please follow up in this thread

Xortify 4.01 (Cloud Client)

Xortify is a network security drone that uses Web 2.0 techniques to link between your XOOPS installs and other via a Server Cloud. This will prevent security intrusions to your xoops with accurate deceptive notation of the intruder and prevent any farmed attacks. It is an accessory and required Protector to be installed an running to be part of the hookup. Otherwise it will run without protector just make sure you deselect protector as a provider.

It will display a template if you are banned and is an accessory to protector or any other firewall technology. The site itself is driven from http://xortify.chronolabs.coop and mirrored at http://www.xortify.com .. Cloud computing is web 2.0/3.0 stuff it used a SOAP or JSON, XML or Serialisation to exchange on the API backend to work, this will eventually be included in xoops as a support class.

A cloud computing process is one which staggers multiple networks sometime and mainly unknown to the webmaster into a network or cloud of data. In this example it is IP and Netaddy names to control access lists.

This will prevent predators from exposing your network to lag and other attacks from link farming, often this means many xoops are attacked in occasions which is all the time caught by protector, this way if an attack is in process across a large spectrum of links, your site will down itself to your sourced attack even if it is discovered on a completely unaffiliated site that is link farmed to yours or on a XOOPS User list.

Xortify is a cloud solution to protectors Bad IPs, if someone attempts to hack your site and becomes a bad IP it will then send the IP to the Ban Cloud on Xortify.com and its paired cloud Xortify.chronolabs.coop. It will also poll the server to make sure it has the latest ban list so your website will be aware of malusers before they attack through farming IP from services like Google or bing.

Xortify is finally bug free, there was a lasting reminder of how it can be quiet frustrating developing software, especially cloud solutions with so many variables to hone to make sure the system is working, you should enjoy this version and any future releases for XOOPS 2.7, but as it stands I can't find anymore situations, warnings, notices or WSOD with this copy.
