WOX (World of XOOPS) Newsletter # 41 (February 2011)

WOX - World Of Xoops

Welcome to the February 2011 issue of WOX (World of XOOPS) Newsletter - this time a little bit late - sorry for that! (see here previous versions) 

And as always, as the first thing in each newsletter we wanted to express our gratitude to all of you who have donated moneyey to XOOPS Foundation! We truly appreciate your trust and support!  This month Ian Underwood remains the biggest supporter and donor - thank you Ian! If anybody else would like to donate - please don't be shy!

Work on Xoops Engine, our "next generation" XOOPS architecture, continues!

Xoops Engine, as the new brand name for this new architecture, supports open and extensible engines with its multi-engine design. As for now there are three engines available:

- Xoops: the official engine with new architecture utilizing Zend Framework as the primary library and Smarty 3.0 as the default view templating engine, as well as some third-party libraries like jQuery. Demo will be hosted on http://www.xoopsengine.org;
- Lite: a lite version of the 'Xoops' Engine with no MySQL required, aimed for high performance scenarios;
- Legacy: for backward compatibility to support legacy XOOPS modules and templates.

Some selected features that were most requested by the community are now part of Xoops Engine:

* Built-in cache mechanism for high performance
* Clear MVC with AOP and event hook
* Extensible URL rewrite for better SEO
* App/module clone w/o code change

Highlights of the last month:

This was a module I formed over a few days it is a remake of the busines example from eSensual Networks which is in the process of rebadging to iStreaming Networks. Webcams allows you to have multisessioned chat rooms with assistence of application software and the hardware data farm provided by iStreaming Networks. You can have free, group and private timed rooms with costage of individual basis. Complete with user pivoting and management of the userbase, this module takes full implementation of the iStreaming API and facilities.

Currently there is payment options with this module, it is freely distrubuted and you can get test accounts from the company providing the server bandwidth and hardware. We have developed this in conjunction with David from iStreaming which means he has also requested an xPayment option as well which will be looked into over the next number of months.

iStreaming service attaches to your existing website via a customizable video chat Player we provide. You can use Flash H264 video and Speex/MP3/HE-AAC audio or Windows Media video and audio.

X-Forum is a completely extensible forum module for XOOPS, this is the complete stable release of the first version of 5 series, it includes multiple fields specifiable per post on individualized forums much like profile module.

Designed for XOOPS 2.4 and later version, it was written in response to problems with earlier forum titles, that had in some cases installation issues. With a broad range of options. X-Forum is a great solution to your forum requirements, complete with RSS Features and image management. It will utilise a wide range of options and allow your community to discuss issues, raise topic and solution. Complete with .htaccess example and SEO with a medium URL.

It has the ability to aggregate categories and forums to languages as well as domains with multisite 1.40 or X-Language. This means you can have forms and forum which only display on particular domains or under certain languages.

With X-Forum you can have all the convenience of the modular newbb path without the result. Based on CBB with a sound environment that even your grandma can use, I know mine does this is solid stuff coming directly to you under GNU Licenses.

We would like to thank PA Fly Fish for developing a bug list and paying for the module to be bug free for the entire community, it take commitment from my end users to make sure these titles are completely bug free. PA Fly Fish have ensured the forum under SEO is completely bug free finally. The .htaccess has changed since 5.71 there should be no more changes after this one.

aphex the 5th!

Hello, I'm Erol but you might know me as "aphex" and I make themes for XOOPS. Today I launched the 5th version of the themes site you all got to know for some years as Aphex's Themes. The most important change about the site is not the design... The most important thing about the site is the system used, and now is proudly powered by XOOPS (again). The change brings a lot of changes to the structure of the site and a lot of changes to the designs I put up for download, and you will see next week what I'm talking about as a new theme will be published to my download section. For now, you will notice that ALL free items have disappeared and registration is no longer possible. Altho free items will still be published by me, they will no longer be available on the themes site. Regular users have been removed and only the users with active subscription can still login ( unfortunately they will need to reset their password ) As for the old themes... I had a chat with Michael ( Mamba ) and it was decided that since they won't be available on my site, they need a home... their home will be XOOPS's theme gallery and so they will soon be made available to download here on xoops.org Anyway, drop by and check out the new old website and you can read all about the changes... HERE Oh and yeah... prices dropped on everything ;) Thank you

Paflyfish.com Upgraded to Xoops 2.5

I am very happy to announce the upgrade of Paflyfish.com, a website community for fly fishing anglers in the Pennsylvania and surrounding region of the United States.

The website was established in 1995 and originally implemented Xoops in 2006. The site is fairly busy with about 7,000,000 pageviews and 600,000 visits a year. The site was centered around SmartSection for a blog and CBB for the forum. The site had been on Xoops 2.0.18.2 for quite a number of years.

A special thanks to Simon Roberts (Wishcraft) for his work on upgrade and migration of the site and data to Xoops 2.5. Not an easy task with a 245,000 posts in the forum and 1,000,000 PM's stuck in the DB.

The new and upgraded modules implemented with Xoops 2.5:
X-Forum 5.71
X-center 2.13
Xpayment 1.28
SmartSection 2.15
SmartObject Framework version 1
User Profile 1.6
Protector 3.4
Tag 2.3
Xortify 2.29
Private Messaging 1.05
Robot Manager 2.65

I have been a long time member (lurking mostly) of the Xoops community and big fan of all of you that support what is going on here. I have not posted because I am not a programmer, but want to thank all those that have been active because I have used all this information to keep my site going the last several years.

Over the next few months I will be working on a new theme and templates to give the site a new and more contemporary look.
