Classifieds 2.53 RC1 Released 3/27/13
I have just released Classifieds 2.53 RC1.There are no new features except the admin has changed a bit.
It now uses the new module admin style. I also changed the way categories are listed in the admin. I did it the way Mamba did in my Jobs module. I want to thank Mamba for his work.
You can get the module HERE.
Please report any problems here.
Tested on:
Xoops - 2.5.5
PHP - 5.3.23
MYSQL - 5.1.68-cll
Everything works fine for me.
Thank You,
XOOPS API documentation upgraded
We are happy to announce a special Website dedicated to XOOPS API Documentation on-line:
http://api.xoops.org
XOOPS is built on top of a Core framework, which provides a set of of specification for routines, data structures, object classes, and variables. At the center of the Core is the object model that is based on two XOOPS classes XoopsObject and XoopsPersistableObjectHandler.
We encourage all module developers to use XOOPS API in their modules, as it will streamline their development, and will enable to take advantage of the already provided services and classes. There is no need to reinvent the wheel!
To make it easier for you to learn about the XOOPS Core, we are providing you with several API documents:
1) Current XOOPS 2.5.6
2) Upcoming XOOPS 2.6.0 Alpha 3 (subject to change)
3) Upcoming Common Utilities
For example, to see visually the structure of XOOPS classes like here:
you can view the class hierarchy:
- XOOPS 2.5.6
- XOOPS 2.6.0
If you would like to get a better overview of XOOPS Core framework and the API, you can also review the presentation "OOP Adventures with XOOPS"

XOOPS 2.5.6 Beta 1 Released for Testing
As more and more hosts are switching to PHP 5.4.x, some of our users are having issues with XOOPS 2.5.5, since it was not certified for PHP 5.4.x
Therefore we will be releasing XOOPS 2.5.6, that will run without any problems on PHP 5.4.x
Please note: the fact that the XOOPS Core runs correctly on PHP 5.4.x, doesn't mean that all your modules will run correctly, therefore you'll need to test them.
The recently released modules that qualify for our Basic Module Pack, are all tested on PHP 5.4.8, and they should run just fine.
For all others, please let us know about any issues you might have.
Download: SourceForge File Repository.
Please remember: This is Beta Release version for features testing only!!!!
DO NOT install it on a production site and DO NOT upgrade any production site with it!!!
Please post and discuss all issues related to this release in this forum

XOOPS 2.6.0 Alpha 2 Released for Testing
Quote:
The XOOPS Core Development Team is pleased to announce the release of XOOPS 2.6.0 Alpha 2.
This is a brand new XOOPS series, with several major changes and enhancements to the Core.
You need PHP 5.3+ to run this version!
You can review the current XOOPS 2.6.0 Roadmap here
The main goal of the 2.6 series is to update the XOOPS Core and all classes to PHP5 (public, protected, static) and E_STRICT, and to remove / clean up old legacy code and remove all HTML code found in the PHP files.
Some of the main changes in Alpha 2:
Improved API and Modularization:
We have extracted from Core several functionalities/behaviors that previously were hard-coded into Core. This will make Core smaller and easier to use. At the same time, modules won't have to go for everything to the Core or to the System module.
One of the complaints in the past was that it was hard to extend XOOPS Core. Therefore we've created several new Abstract classes, and as a result, we have decoupled several of the hard coded dependencies from the Core, making it now easier to extend the Core and letting the modules to develop their own implementations.
New classes like 'Xoops_Plugin_Abstract' along with the already known 'XoopsPreload' are giving modules new and exciting possibilities.
Improved Performance through redesigned Cache system:
XOOPS 2.6.0 Alpha 1 was already faster then 2.5.5. In the Alpha 2, we wanted it to be even faster. We've added new cache layers that greatly reduced the number of queries required on each page load. We have also re-factored the cache classes, added new cache engines, and documented it to allow developers to "actually" use it directly in their modules. The users will definitely appreciate the improved performance and response times
Improved Productivity through several New Classes
We have added several new classes to make development of XOOPS modules faster and much easier. XoopsFormTab, Xoops_Request, Xoops_Module_Helper, and XoopsLoad::addMap(), are some of the new classes/methods introduced in this version.
- You can use XoopsLoad::addMap() to allow class lazy loading, No need to include your classes when you are not using them.
- You can use Xoops_Request to get $_GET,params, $_POST params, cookies, client IP, URI, and many other items. You want to know if the request comes from a mobile device? It supports it too! And you can add many new items. You can also extend the mobile list without hacking the class.
- You can use Xoops_Module_helper if you don't want to type the module name every time you want a Config, a Handler or a Form. It also allows you to get other modules configs, handlers and forms with only one line of code.
- XoopsFormTab? Yes, we have it now to provide Tabbed forms!
New Codex Module as Tutorial for new Features
one of the shortcomings in the past was that we didn't have good documentation for new features. This time we've included a new module Codex, that will show exactly how to use the new features, with well documented code and examples.
New Modules/Plugins
Since 2.6.0, the backend functionality uses a 'Plugin' interface.
The new class Xoops_Module_Plugin is the class that makes using plugins simple and effective!
- Menus: we have incorporated the advanced menu module, which will make easier to create menus in XOOPS. Admin will have a full control over menus and menu groups. The 'Menus' module provides a 'Plugin' interface that other modules should implement. Each module in XOOPS 2.6.0 will be now able to add its own menu items by hooking into the menus module
- Page: this is our new simple Content module, that will be included in the basic installation of XOOPS.
- QRCode - can be used by other modules to create QRCodes
- PDF: other modules will be able to use it to provide PDF functionality
- Notifications: another extracted extension from the Core
- Search: Since 2.6.0, the search functionality was removed from core.
Now you need to install the 'Search' Module to get search functionality in other modules. The 'Search' module provides a 'Plugin' interface that modules should implement.
- System Plugin: The 'System' module provides a 'Plugin' interface to access the System functionality, e.g. to synchronize user’s number of posts, populate the Waiting block, or to access User menus.
- User Config: in the past, many of the configuration items were stared in different locations. Now all user-related preferences will be stored in one location.
These are just few of the Plugins/Modules. There are more like the Logger, Banners, Avatars, Notifications, xCaptcha, or the xLanguage. And in Alpha 3 we’ll add some more.
Focus on Code Quality and Consistency
The Core Team has put a lot of effort to ensure the highest source code quality in XOOPS 2.6.0.
The whole code base has been refactored to ensure consistency of function names and functionality, so module developers can expect the same behavior from functions with similar names
The XOOPS 2.6.0 will have no error messages and no red flags in the advanced PHP editors, which will greatly reduce the probability of bugs arising due to typos, variables not set, returning of unexpected values and other frequent mistakes.
Higher Productivity through Advanced Code Inspection
XOOPS 2.6.0 has now total support for advanced PHP editors, such as phpStorm, which will be now able to deeply understand the code, provide smart code completion for methods, functions and definitions, and quick navigation and on-the-fly error checking. It was possible thanks to implementation of PHPDocs in all classes/functions and by making the code PHP 5.4 compliant. This will improve productivity of our developers who will be able to take advantage of the advanced features of modern PHP editors.
Twitter Bootstrap
We have further improved the implementation of Twitter Bootstrap in the Core, which is our main advanced HTML/CSS engine. This will make developmet of themes much easier, and will provide “Responsive Web Design” for mobile devices “out of the box”.
If you are a designer looking to develop new Bootstrap based themes, or a module developer wanting to reduce the size of your framework and have auto-completion at your fingertips, or a webmaster looking for a truly extensible and easy to use CMS, please take XOOPS 2.6.0 for a test drive!
The Core Team will now focus on Alpha 3. We have several ambitious goals for Alpha 3 - see our Roadmap.
Please provide us with feedback, suggestions - Alpha development is for testing concepts to see what works and what doesn't. We can still modify things in the Core, but for that we need your help and feedback.
Please remember: This is Alpha Release for features testing only!!!!
DO NOT install it on a production site and DO NOT upgrade any production site with it!!!
Please post and discuss all issues related to this release in this Forum

Updated Roadmap for XOOP 2.6.0
The Core Team is hard at work on XOOPS 2.6.0, as you can see from their commits to SVN (Remember, you can subscribe to our SVN mailing list to be notified about all SVN submissions.)
Below is the updated Roadmap for XOOPS 2.6.0:
Alpha 2
· Extracting some functionality from Core into separate extensions or modules.
- Comments.
- Notifications.
- Image manager.
- Search.
- qrcode
- logger
- xcaptcha
- xlanguage
· Integration of PDF library.
- use html2pdf in extension "pdf" (http://html2pdf.fr/en/default)
· Content module.
- In order to easily add content "out of the box" .
· Menu Module.
- This system allow to create all kind of menus.
Everything in green is done.
Alpha 3
· Adding a theme manager in the system module.
- This section allows you to manage themes like modules so you can install, uninstall, or disable a theme.
- We can of course add a few settings in the theme (eg. Logo, size, etc. ..) and all these settings will be visible in the theme.
· Integration of rewrite mode in XOOPS.
· Modification of blocks positions.
· Adding several features requested.
- We have not yet defined which will be integrated. The core team will evaluate the request and integrate only one that will not delay the release of 2.6. For others they will be integrated into version 2.7
Beta
· Bugs fixed.
RC
· Correction of the latest bugs.
Estimated Dates (Subject to change!)
Version Alpha 2: 15 January 2013
Version Alpha 3: 15 April 2013
Versions Beta ( 1, …): From April to Mai 2013
Versions RC ( 1, …): From Mai to Jun 2013
Final Version: August 2013

New Features in XOOPS 2.6.0 (XoopsFormTabTray)
In the upcoming weeks we'll be posting short stories about progress on XOOPS 2.6.0 Alpha 2.
The Core Team is hard at work, with many improvements already added, and with many more coming, and we would like to share them with you, so you can see the progress for yourself
Of course, you can always subscribe to our SVN Mailing List to be notified about any new additions to our SVN, or you can view the SVN directly
One of the recent additions is a module created by Trabis, and called "Codex". Its purpose is to present examples of proper coding for new features that module developers could use in their modules.
Currently there are examples for:
- Cache
- FormTab
- Form
- PDF
- QRCode
with more examples coming.
You'll see the feature, and the documented source code behind it.
Today we'll focus on the XoopsFormTabTray, also contributed by Trabis
XoopsFormTabTray is the tabs holder for XoopsForms. You can use it in your modules if you want to group together several forms, as it is done in our System Preferences.
To define the visual "look and feel" for the Tabs, we are going to use the jQueryUI theme, we can select in System Preferences
The best way is to just check out the XOOPS 2.6.0 source code with your favorite tool (like TortoiseSVN) from:
and play with it, so you can see where the development is going.
Please note: The source code is in pre-Alpha 2 state, i.e. NEVER use it on production site. This is just a preview to play around and get a taste of it. As with every Alpha code, some of the features will change, some will be removed, some new will be added.
But while this is pre-Alpha 2, we're proud the the current code runs on PHP 5.4.8 with no errors!

The Core Team is hard at work, with many improvements already added, and with many more coming, and we would like to share them with you, so you can see the progress for yourself
Of course, you can always subscribe to our SVN Mailing List to be notified about any new additions to our SVN, or you can view the SVN directly
One of the recent additions is a module created by Trabis, and called "Codex". Its purpose is to present examples of proper coding for new features that module developers could use in their modules.
Currently there are examples for:
- Cache
- FormTab
- Form
- QRCode
with more examples coming.
You'll see the feature, and the documented source code behind it.
Today we'll focus on the XoopsFormTabTray, also contributed by Trabis
XoopsFormTabTray is the tabs holder for XoopsForms. You can use it in your modules if you want to group together several forms, as it is done in our System Preferences.
To define the visual "look and feel" for the Tabs, we are going to use the jQueryUI theme, we can select in System Preferences
The best way is to just check out the XOOPS 2.6.0 source code with your favorite tool (like TortoiseSVN) from:
http://svn.code.sf.net/p/xoops/svn/XoopsCore/branches/2.6.x/2.6.0
and play with it, so you can see where the development is going.
Please note: The source code is in pre-Alpha 2 state, i.e. NEVER use it on production site. This is just a preview to play around and get a taste of it. As with every Alpha code, some of the features will change, some will be removed, some new will be added.
