WURFL 2.01 - Mobile Computing Theme Switcher
Community Release by Chronolabs Co-op

WURFL is a module that will allow theme designers to implement themes customised for Mobile Computing. WURFL is a XML Database that this module will import and allow for propogation of it resources on User Agent based browsing of mobile phones.

WURFL is a world leader in Mobile communication data and this module utilizes WURFL from sourceforge (see. http://wurfl.sourceforge.net). This module is now complete with Theme Switching depending on the capabilities of the mobile computing device whether it be phone or pad.

This module will propogate data on the <{$wurfl}> smarty tag as well as other tags which names are specifiable in the preferences now. These assocative arrays are on depths, you can set which providers you require for data to conversely populate on the source.


Watch this video to understand more about WURFL 2 Series!

Welcome to the WURFL
the Wireless Universal Resource FiLe
by Luca Passani, ScientiaMobile

So... What is WURFL?
WURFL is a Device Description Repository (DDR), i.e. a software component which contains the descriptions of thousands of mobile devices. In its simplest incarnation, WURFL is an XML configuration file plus a set of programming APIs to access the data in real-time environments. The main scope of the WURFL Project is to be an independent central repository of device information, which Open-Source developers from around the globe can utilize to build their mobile web applications.

All the information listed in WURFL has been collected by ScientiaMobile and the community of WURFL users from many different countries. WURFL can be used in any application, free or commercial. In the spirit of the originators of the project, open-source developers who adopt WURFL should share device information with the rest of the community. This will help WURFL to grow better and better every day.

WURFL is deployed by companies such as Facebook and Google. Carriers around the globe deploy it in mission-critical environment with fantatistic performance and reliability. In terms of adoption, WURFL is today more popular than UAProf solutions and solutions from commercial DDR vendors.


This will allow theme designers and module writters to search for data regarding mobile computing and allow for knowledge in the theme of RSS, CSS, Display Size, Image Types, Sound Fontage, and other data such as SMS and MMS.. As well as information about CHTML or XHTML sources.

Please enjoy this module as I have enjoyed writting it.

Resized Image
Profile 1.75
Verbose Validation Edition
Community Release by Fiberdyne

Profile 1.75 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 1.75 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.

New in this feature:
  • Downlink Speedtest Controlable of Registration
  • Uplink Speedtest Controlable of Registration


Some Other Features:
  • IPInfoDB Location Controlable of Registration
  • Upgrade of Recaptcha Resource Files
  • IP Address Field - With Registration Validation
  • Proxy IP Address Field - With Registration Validation
  • Netbios Address Field - With Registration Validation
  • Recaptcha.net - Remember to change the API Keys

Xortify Series 3.x for XOOPS 2.5 & 2.6 (Antispam, Antiharvesting etc)

Resized Image
Xortify - Fortify your XOOPS.
Community Release by - Chronolabs Co-op.

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. Xortify is a cloud solution to spam, harvesting and suspicious and narfarious IPs from using your website or hacking it. It will with pre-aware hierestics ban people which have breeched policies of other websites in both the protector honeypot (lite) and once you have signed up a username the Stop Forum Spam honeypot as well as Project Honeypots hierestical information on spammers, hackers and rouge bots.

I use to get regular signup maybe 4 people a day on chronolabs.coop, however blinded by how obvious it was actually a smart spam bot making usernames so it could spam attack my website; it was able to even step past the captchas and answer my extra signup question of a known email address on the system to sign up, luckly its IP addreses, that is the address systems have on the internet was known on the honeypots and it is now blocked.

It will display a template if you are banned with information such as the banning provider and some settings for the ban and is an accessory to protector or any other firewall technology Xortify is in a league of its own. The site itself is driven from an API Cloud on http://xortify.com and mirrored at http://xortify.chronolabs.coop .. 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.

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.
