Libyan High National Elections Commission selects XOOPS for their new Website
After XOOPS was selected over several other competing CMS solutions to power the new Website of the Libyan Ministry of Defense, another high profile institution in Libya has selected XOOPS - this time the Libyan High National Elections Commission!
http://www.hnec.ly/
As in the previous case, they felt that XOOPS provides the best combination of features, security, and support. They also liked the modular approach of XOOPS, and the ease of adding new functionality by installing additional modules. And they felt that with the continues development of new XOOPS versions, there is a guarantee that XOOPS will be around for a long time.
As in previous case, it is thanks to the hard work of Mowaffaq and his team from http://www.arabxoops.com, who were able to successfully demonstrate the value of XOOPS, and address all the questions from the technical stuff of the High National Elections Commission.
We are very proud that XOOPS has been selected by national, state, and local governments around the world, like State of Parana in Brazil (http://www.cidadao.pr.gov.br/) or Tainan County in Taiwan.
Viva XOOPS!

WOX (World of XOOPS) Newsletter # 45 (April 2012)
Welcome to the April 2012 issue of WOX (World of XOOPS) Newsletter (see here previous versions)
It's been a while since the last issue, almost a year, but things have been hectic around here, we had some turbulent times that kept us busy, and there are only 24 hours in a day 
But we hope that we'll be able to get back to our regular monthly cycle.
The most important thing is that XOOPS development is going forward, with XOOPS 2.5.5 Final released this week. This is the best XOOPS version ever, with several bugs being fixed.
In parallel to working on XOOPS 2.5.5, the Core Team has also worked very hard on cleaning up and refactoring of the Core as the foundation for XOOPS 2.6.0, and you'll see the results soon. Just to give you an idea about the magnitude of the work that especially Trabis did, is the fact that the current XOOPS 2.6.0 Core, which is still in the pre-Alpha stage, already runs on PHP 5.4 with NO SINGLE error in E_STRICT mode. If you want to check out the source code, you can download it from our SourceForge SVN, but be aware - this is a "pre-Alpha" code and a lot of wrong things can happen, and a lot of things are missing.
The current focus is on improving quality and streamlining the source code so we have a solid foundation for the future. There was just too much PHP4 and old XOOPS related code that got accumulated over time, and we needed to get rid of all this "baggage" 
So XOOPS 2.6.0 will be our focus for the upcoming months, as well as finalizing our Basic Module Pack, with all the module sharing the same "look & feel"
The key to make all of this happen, is to have enough developers and contributors. So we would like to encourage everybody to ask themselves a question:
What can I do for XOOPS?
What could I contribute to XOOPS?
We cannot expect that few people will do everything:
- develop Core
- develop Modules
- develop themes
- develop documentation
- provide support
- translate into local languages
By putting too much pressure on them by expecting too much, it will only cause their "burnout" and quitting XOOPS
We need to create more teamwork and more community spirit by getting more people actively contributing to XOOPS.
Let's make XOOPS a true "Community Project"!
Recent Highlights:
- XOOPS Innovation Award - for people who create something very unique and innovative for XOOPS. This time the award goes to Andrey(andrey3761) from the Russia for his work on Chat module
- XOOPSer of the Month Award: is given to XOOPS members who show extraordinary dedication to XOOPS, and go the extra mile for XOOPS. This month, it goes to Gregory Jomi (sabahan) from Malaysia, for his help on testing and debugging XOOPS 2.5.4!
Congratulations to all of our Winners. Starting this year, all Winners will receive a free book of their choice from O'Reilly. Also a free copy of PHP Storm from JetBrain.

Community Release by EPICentre TV
Twitter Bomb allows you to place segments of a tweet into a database, and aggregate via services like twitterfeed.com tweets based on a sentence formed from a matrix of basis of sentences. You will be able to run a campaign on twitter and have your sentences randomly made from the segments of sentences known in this applicaion as the 'base' of the phrase.
Since this version there is also now five type of campaigns you can run, either a phrase bombing, or a scheduled tweet, search and retweet, search, mention and reply or mention and reply. You can import a list from a text file or log file, where each line is periodically tweeted on twitter as per your schedule. Including tabled filters for easy use and maintence as well as harvesting plugins that allow you to develop with TwitterBomb to retireve information from other sources like API, databases, text files, SOAP ports or many other places like modules on your website.
TwitterBomb 1.31 is the new Final Production Release, we don't expect to be doing anymore releases of this application which is XOOPS 2.5 compatible as it is full of features and has all the nessecary details for expansion with plugins but after this we will be migrating to the module class wrapper making it only 2.5 compatible.

Profile 1.76
Verbose Validation Edition
Community Release by Chronolabs Co-op
Profile 1.76 is a version of Profile module for XOOPS that allows for a verbose registration to be done. It also allows for a Speed Test with the Speedtest module to be run before registration for user limits to be placed on internet speed for registering for a site.
This has a field for validation that allows for Text Match, RegEx or SQL Validation to be used to prevent people registering with your website without having validation data of sometype such as an existing email address or an invite code or some regular expression statement.
Featuring still Multiple Fields, 2 Types of validation - one which uses JSON; the other that uses the Field $_POST validation method.
Simply upgrade your existing XOOPS 2.5 to XOOPS Profile 1.76 to experience the difference. We can really recommend XinCodes 1.05 for a user based invitation to be done.
Now with IP Validation so an IP Address can be only used once to register. THis means you can check you are not being signed up by an Indian SEO Sweat Shop and other such misbehaviour in signup.
Example SQL Validation for a basis of pre-existing users email, remember to change 'prefix':
Select count(*) from `prefix_users` where `email` LIKE "[value]" and `level` > 0 New in this feature:
- Working SEO - htaccess

Multilingual features of XOOPS - White Paper
Multilingual features of XOOPS - White Paper
Michael Beck (mamba) wrote to me a number of days ago to ask me to write a basic white paper on making use of multilingual features of XOOPS better in modules, as alot of my modules including the Content Module X-Centre as well as the Forum - X-Forum make use of the multilingual centres in XOOPS and will strap with X-Language to allow content based on the language provided.
If you write modules I would encourage you to read this whitepaper it only goes for 7 pages and start to implement something similar in your modules to take advantage of multilingual centres in XOOPS so more modules support the API X-Language and/or other APIs and language centres in XOOPS.
Foreword:
This document will show you how to make your module multilingual and interact with X-Language or similar API for XOOPS to enable content and function of content to be multilingual within the module. The idea for example is to have One URL for many different languages with the same IDs etc so that XOOPS multilingual features can be used in conjunction with your module. In this module I will use X-Forum 5.78 & X-Centre 2.16 as example so you can download the source code and use it as a basis to make your module multilingual as well.
