A new PHP IDE in town... (updated)
I normally don't compose articles like this but, I think this is a significant leap for PHP IDE's especially since it's free and backed by many major corporations.
Ok, after some digging I found a killer little all-platform editor called JEdit (http://www.jedit.org) and it's awesome. Once you install this puppy, you can download dozens of plugins!

XOOPS.org running Smarty template engine
We have just upgraded our site to the latest development version (CVS + Smarty). We are now using Smarty template engine as the new theme system. Now, what is Smarty, and what would be the benefit for us users and developers?
Quote:
In short, with Smarty, designers can have total control over application presentation by just modifying template files, and module developers would only need to concentrate on application logic and passing variables to those template files.
For example, our old 'phpkaox' theme file looked like this:

Quote:
Quoted from http://smarty.php.net/:
Smarty is a template engine for PHP. More specifically, it facilitates a managable way to separate application logic and content from its presentation. This is best described in a situation where the application programmer and the template designer play different roles, or in most cases are not the same person.
In short, with Smarty, designers can have total control over application presentation by just modifying template files, and module developers would only need to concentrate on application logic and passing variables to those template files.

Module/Theme authors please read! :o)
To make classifying & reognizing files easier for everyone, it's strongly suggested that module & theme authors adapt their way of naming files.
By looking at a file, one should know right away what kind of file it is (module, theme, block, hack), the version of xoops it works with, and the revision of the file itself.
m_xoops1.0-rc3_modulename-v1.0.zip
t_xoops1.0-rc3_themename-v1.0.zip
b_xoops1.0-rc3_blockname-v1.0.zip
h_xoops1.0-rc3_hackname-v1.0.zip
Is the suggested convention.
A file compatible with both RC2 & RC3 could be named something like:
t_xoops1.0-rc2+_themename-v1.0.zip
(Meaning its a theme compatible with rc2 or higher)
Compressed archives should also contain the needed directory structure to make installing things easier.
I.E. A module would be named like above, and inside the archive, the directory structure would be:
/modules/modulename/files
a theme on the other hand would look like:
/themes/themename/files
Like this, as soon as the person unzips the file, he knows exactly where the files should go.
---------------
I really hope all adapt this new naming convention. As it will make things much cleaner and easier for all.
Cheers & Thanks!
