Xoops France- Xoops China 2005 Meeting in Beijing

Here is a small report of marco meeting phppp in Beijing on sun 18/12/2005:

Who is phppp?

He is one of the most active developers of Xoops modules today and also working on the Xoops Core team. To just name some of the modules he has developed or is working on converting for Xoops: CBB, Digest, Articles, Dokuwiki, xlanguage, Planet, Xmline, WordPress and others.

Phppp aka DJ is 33 years old and a web developer in an American startup company based in Montreal. (they are using XOOPS for their website and intranet). The announcement of XOOPSSPHERE finally made them go for the XOOPS platform as the system of their choice.

About Xoops China:

There are approximately 60 active members in Beijing and another group exists in Shanghai. I was invited to their XOOPS meeting on previous Tuesday, but could not take part in it. Some images of their local meeting are available here:
https://xoops.org.cn/modules/news/article.php?storyid=277
(there were around 30 people present on that meeting)

The XOOPS China projects:

One primary goal for 2006 is to grow the Chinese XOOPS community. They admire the dynamic of the XoopsFrance community.

Therefore Phppp had several questions on behalf of the Chinese community for me on this subject.

I especially pointed out that the success of XOOPS France is based on:

- the charisma of the founders
- physical meetings of the members (in 2005:fosdem Brussels, rmll Dijon, Lyon)
- the state of mind and willingness to promote assistance between the members, away from commercial considerations
- the specialization of each one: the team covers fine the spectrum of web development in all areas
- our will to provide quality work and to promote the use of XOOPS in professional environment.

I explained also the creation, in 2005, of the AFUX foundation .

XOOPS China Creations:

Here are some information on their local developments:

- a developer modified the core so that the positioning of the blocks is universal in a page. This hack should be proposed at the community officialized once XOOPS 2.3 (and stabilized in its architecture)
- phppp released xoops 2.25 in order to assist the users who upgrade to Xoops 2.2 despite the advises not to
- in 2005, XOOPS China in particular released the Backup module, which you will find in the module download repository

Other things we talked about

- trouble with attaching files under cbb 1.15 with IE. The solution seems to be found.
- we talked about the developments on hand of the core (Xoops 2.3), discussed the missing functionality of the core (which would be useful in the modules), as well as the evolution of the XOOPS project.

This is put in some short words the report of a very warm meeting. It is amazing to be able to meet people you only know from the forums or messenger before, and this, during a professional displacement!
We should do this again 2006 in Montreal. This time with others xoopsers (king76 and Co).

Many thanks to Xoops China Support Community and special friendly thanks to phppp
You will find below some images from Beijing to conclude and motivate you to visit this superb country.

iSearch version 1.2

iSearch version 1.2

This new version only brings modifications in the administrative part of the module.
In the statistics, two new links appeared.
With the first link, you can remove keywords (without using the purge) and the second link
will enable you to put words in a blacklist.
All words in this blacklist will not be recorded in the module's "database" when they will
be used in the Xoops search.

You can download the module here

The french and english translations were modified, templates did not changed.
You will find a file called lang.diff in the module's archive to know what changed in the translations.

Download the module, copy it on you website, go in the Xoops modules manager and update the module.

bye,
Hervé

A new core development area for XOOPS

Skalpa has just announced the opening of our new core dev area

"I'm publicly opening the new (core) development site, which will become the one of only source of information about the XOOPS developement from now on.

It is far from being complete, but I believe this is the way things should be: give something to everybody even unfinished, then
build progressively.

The devlog will be updated daily as much as possible, and alpha releases will be published there too."

ElderHope Upgrades to 2.2.3 Final

ElderHope recently upgraded to 2.2.3 Final, having watched it's stability carfully for about six months. The upgrade went flawlessly.

Since January 2004, ElderHope has been running xoops. We are so pleased with the work that the devs have done in creating this software and making it freely available. It makes it possible to share helpful information globally. Since 1997, in one form or another, ElderHope has had a web presence. The purpose of the site is to offer support to those who are coping with aging, latter-year illness, grief, and loss. We are proud to recommend xoops.

Thanks to all the devs, past and present, who by their contributions to xoops in knowledge or money, have made it possible to give help and comfort to people around the globe. Many people, some of them without any significant support resources, have found care that they might otherwise never have received.

Thank you!

XOOPS got antivirus!

Resized Image Presenting for all Xoops'ers review new site of distributors of F-Prot Antivirus products in Lithuania.

Purpose: to present those simple yet effective products with the clean and clear web site.

Modules used: News, WF-Channel, MyPage, ~100 lines of custom PHP code. That's all.

Site design and functionality had to be within the general F-Prot guidelines - but the more original parts were heavilly influenced by Aston, 7dana themes... With the new sites promise a bit more of original design

SEO: very basic easy implement tricks found in xoops.org forums.

So, have comments? Post them below. Got viruses in your machine - download anti-virus trial versions now (basic knowledge of lithuanian needed )!!!
