This article will tell you how to build up modules for XOOPS with bake. :)
Enviornments:
Windows XP Pro SP2
XAMPP 1.6.0a / PHP Version 5.2.4
CakePHP 1.2.0.5875 pre-beta
XOOPS 2.0.17.1
PDT 1.0
1. Setup XOOPS in XAMPP, open a project in PDT and point the workspace to the root of XOOPS.
2. Download and exact Cake 1.2, move the cake folder into the root of XOOPS (D:\xampp\htdocs\xoops\cake)
3. Open PDT,
Run -> External Tools -> Open External Tools Dialog
In Program, add one item
Quote:
*The name 'test' is the module name you want to build.
4. Execute BakeXOOPS twice to have basic skeleton of cake and setup database for the new module(test).
5. Open http://localhost/xoops/modules/test/ in your browser to see if cake works in test module.
6. Modify xoops/modules/test/webroot/index.php , in the beginning add the following lines:
And at the end:
7. Modify xoops/modules/test/views/layouts/default.ctp , the results:
8. Modify xoops/modules/test/webroot/css/cake.generic.css , Try to remove conflict lines , the results:
9. Modify xoops/modules/test/config/database.php , the results:
10. Modify xoops/modules/test/config/core.php
Disable this setting:
11. Modify the cache setting in xoops/modules/test/config/core.php
12. Modify xoops/cake/libs/cache/file.php
Disable line 79:
13. Then you could start baking modules. :)
Known problems:
1. In xoops_version.php of the module, I can't use $modversion['sub'] to add submenu as other modules of XOOPS.
2. Sometimes I met blank page, switch the debug setting or refresh the page could bring me correct results.
3. I can't turn on the debug settings in both at the same time.
4. I met many problems about variable scope, it's not the same as building XOOPS modules like past.
5. "Never" using the results in production without taking care more, more, ... and more.

1st XOOPS Draft Proposal Preparation Team report
Thank you for your patience.
As you may be aware, in response to the views and opinions expressed in the threads Improving XOOPS governance, Proposal: Towards A Sustainable Open Source Project and [Proposal] Improving XOOPS Governance (amongst others), a new team was established by members of the XOOPS community with a view to drafting a proposal to be presented to both the Project Council and the XOOPS Foundation. The proposal was to make recommendations reflecting the concerns of many xoops users as to the state of the project, its future direction and its organizational structure.
This team was named the "XOOPS Draft Proposal Preparation Team" and you can follow their progress in the wiki
This Report:
This report serves two functions. Firstly, it is to inform the community of where reference materials relating to this process can be found. Secondly, and of equal importance, it serves as a focal point for interested community members to provide input. The team makes one request. Please read all the information on the wiki before you write. This is an extremely involved process, and there are many topics on which discussion must be held. In the interest of making speedy yet thorough progress, the team has decided to deal with issues in an orderly manner, and while community participation is encouraged and expected, the team suggests that contributors restrict their feedback to topics currently under discussion.
Progress:
The team assembled itself in the forums on XOOPS.org, and was open to volunteers to join. Those that accepted the challenge requested and received a work space on XOOPS.org. Sadly, a week into their work, vandals attempted to derail the initiative and much of their work was lost. Not to be defeated, they moved to a different workspace and redoubled their efforts.
Preliminary Goals:
The team's initial goals were to agree on procedures:
a) for holding meetings
b) for making decisions and resolving disputes.
c) for keeping the community, including international support sites, informed and involved.
As these agreements were reached, an agenda was drafted. The draft which the team has compiled can be seen in the wiki. The various stages on this agenda are broadly defined and far reaching. The team believes that all matters of community concern fall within one stage of discussion or another. If interested members of the community believe that their concerns may not get covered in this agenda, you are encouraged to comment here.

CM4F for NewBB being transferred to a new site
For those who don´t know CM4F, it stands for Community Messaging for Forums. It is a tool that has been developed to integratge mailinglists/yahoogroups, and generally speaking all community tools that can use email communications with forums.
The tool has been iniatally defined for the phpBB forum system, but has been expanded to SMF, NewBB, and other systems.
Due to a huge lack of time, the development has been lagging for somewhile, but now is being retaken.
CM4F for the NewBB forum system will be moving to the http://www.open-networks.org site, where it has been already integrating some messages in the past.
