Swayamsat.org design updated, Feedback needed...

I have updated my site http://swayamsat.org with a new design.

The site is now using xoops 2.5.5 and the following modules

1. 3 instances of publisher (hacked to use common js, css files for all the clones)
2. Extgallery
3. Xoopsfaq (Having some issues with not being able to display categories based on weight)
4. Replaced Pical with APCal (Thank you DEDALE for all the updates to this module)
5. xForms

Also added the wibiya toolbar to the website.

I am not that good with color combinations, so kindly suggest if there is something that I can change to make the site more pleasing to eyes and easier to use.

The next on my todo list is to replace discuss with facebook comments on the blog section.

Tutorial: Inheritance of xoopsForm

French XOOPS user br_750 recently published a nice article about inheritance of xoopsForm class. Here is the English translation:

What is inheritance?

Inheritance is a concept specific to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), to create a new class based on an existing class. The new class "inherits" the properties and methods of the class it inherits from, called "parent" class. The inheriting class is called a "child" class.

This definition is very short and you can enhance your knowledge of object-oriented programming on the Web:

New Module Twitter Beta 1

After a brief tutorial on streaming data of the users of twitter, I created this module so as to have a sorted list of images, title and text of the tweet that friends sent in real time on our site.

This beta 1 is very light but can be changed at will using the css style file, included in the css folder of the module.

The research has a limited number of queries to the search so as not to block the servers too.

After this version will probably be another one that also provides for the registration, login, and the creation of applications using a special form directly from the module.

MyKerkyra.gr updated and optimized

There has been an update on my site mykerkyra.gr. The update involves aesthetical as well as optimization improvements.

Most of the modules of the site are heavily hacked to serve my needs regarding their look and feel and the php code is altered to improve stability, usability and optimize the database queries. The rest are custom made modules made from scratch.

To my surprise optimizing the catads modules as well as smartsection saved my up to 30 db queries in the front page! And there is room for more..

The site also uses my hacked version of backend.php for centralized rss feeds. No other core files have been altered.

Moreover I used URL rewriting for most modules.

There are still lots of improvements to be made but since its usable right now and in a fair level I decided to publish it as it is and keep working on it in my own time. The sure thing is that this one is better than the previous version.

Unfortunately the site is only in Greek right now but you can get the general idea. I hope you like it

Social Media quick tutorial for XOOPS

First of all, you are more than welcome to use any of this, most of what I've done was pieced together from my own bug/debug process. I use everything here on my news website at http://kbkw.com I think I included everything, but please feel free to contact me if you have questions. This could all be seen as continuation of this article at https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=6044 META I add the following to my Meta tags (In the template)
<meta property="og:type" content="article"/>
  <meta property="og:locale" content="en_US" />
  <meta property="og:image" content="<{$xoops_url}>/YOUR LOGO.png" />
  <meta property="og:site_name" content="<{$xoops_sitename}>"/>
  <meta property="fb:admins" content="FB ADMINS FOR THE SITE"/>
I add some If/Then statements that will populate other facebook values IF we're viewing a story. (IF the story.hits variable is empty then we're not viewing an article)
<{if $story.hits !=''}>
   <meta name="description" content="<{$story.news_title|strip_tags:false}> : <{$story.text|strip_tags:false|truncate:120:"..."}>" />
   <meta property="og:description" content="<{$story.text|strip_tags:false|truncate:120:"..."}>" />
   <meta property="og:title" content="<{$story.news_title|strip_tags:false|truncate:120:"..."}>"/>
   <meta property="og:url" content="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/article.php?storyid=<{$story.id}>" />
Same as above, but for the debaser module
<{elseif $addinfo != ''}>
   <meta name="description" content="<{$addinfo|strip_tags:true|truncate:220:"..."}>" />
   <meta property="og:description" content="<{$addinfo|strip_tags:true|truncate:220:"..."}>" />
   <meta property="og:title" content="<{$title}>"/>
   <meta property="og:url" content="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/debaser/singlefile.php?id=<{$id}>" />
This uses news 1.65's "Select a picture to attach to the news"
<{if $articlePicture != ''}>
       <meta property="og:image" content="<{$articlePicture}>" />
       <{/if}>
then from here down we populate variables for the "rest of the pages," and close out our IF statement
<{else}>
  <meta name="description" content="<{$xoops_pagetitle}>, <{$xoops_meta_description}>" />
  <meta property="og:title" content="<{$xoops_pagetitle}>"/>
 <{/if}>
lastly I add keywords because facebook pulls this meta before it's own for some reason..
<meta name="keywords" content="<{$xoops_pagetitle}>, <{$xoops_meta_keywords}>" />
TEMPLATES Now in the news_item.html template I add a check for the proper topic:
<{if $story.topic_title|strip_tags:false == "Local News"}>
Followed by my "social bar"

<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style ">
  <a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count" addthis:url="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/article.php?storyid=<{$story.id}>" addthis:title="<{$story.news_title|strip_tags:true}>">a>
<a class="addthis_button_tweet" addthis:url="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/article.php?storyid=<{$story.id}>" addthis:title="<{$story.news_title|strip_tags:true}>">a>
<a class="addthis_button_google_plusone" addthis:url="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/article.php?storyid=<{$story.id}>" addthis:title="<{$story.news_title|strip_tags:true}>" g:plusone:size="medium">a>

<{if $articlePicture != ''}>
  <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/article.php?storyid%3D<{$story.id}>&media=<{$articlePicture}>&description=<{$story.news_title|strip_tags:false}> - <{$story.text|strip_tags:false|truncate:320:"..."}>" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal">Pin Ita>
    <{else}>
        <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/article.php?storyid%3D<{$story.id}>&media=<{$xoops_url}>/logo.png&description=<{$story.news_title|strip_tags:false}> - <{$story.text|strip_tags:true|truncate:320:"..."}>" class="pin-it-button" count-layout="horizontal">Pin Ita>
<{/if}>

  <a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style" addthis:url="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/article.php?storyid=<{$story.id}>" addthis:title="<{$story.news_title|strip_tags:true}>">a>
div>

  <script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=YOUR PUB ID" addthis:url="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/article.php?storyid=<{$story.id}>" addthis:title="<{$story.news_title|strip_tags:true}>">script>
  
By adding this in the news_item template instead of _article, You see the social icons at the bottom of every story when viewing the entire topic - and the links track through to the stories, so you could "like" every story on a page with a few clicks. **Note: Pinterest requires this additional js at the top of the page (I put mine in both news_index.html and news_article.html
<script type="text/javascript">
(function() {
    window.PinIt = window.PinIt || { loaded:false };
    if (window.PinIt.loaded) return;
    window.PinIt.loaded = true;
    function async_load(){
        var s = document.createElement("script");
        s.type = "text/javascript";
        s.async = true;
        if (window.location.protocol == "https:")
            s.src = "https://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js";
        else
            s.src = "http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js";
        var x = document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];
        x.parentNode.insertBefore(s, x);
    }
    if (window.attachEvent)
        window.attachEvent("onload", async_load);
    else
        window.addEventListener("load", async_load, false);
})();
script>
Finally, I add the following code near the bottom of the news_article.html template for the "Chat" plugin from facebook
<fb:comments ? numposts="15" <div class="fb-comments" data-href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/article.php?storyid=<{$story.id}>">fb:comments>

Plugins to pick up the RSS feeds of individual modules

The creation of a new module that collects the RSS feed module and display them either individually or in groups in the reader software or internet. Has an administration side to create the plugin directly in contrast to other modules that are created manually for each module.

Trial to test on your computer or virtual server and operating system to verify the successful creation of the plugin.

The modules that will work with this module are only those created with classes that extend the object class from the 2.5.0 version of xoops.

Warning: only for test
