XOOPS 2.6.0 Service Manager: Introduction
In XOOPS 2.6.0 alpha 2, some familiar services that were traditionally internal parts of the core were separated into modules. Some examples are: avatars, comments, and notifications
The separated module approach achieves some important benefits:
● Modules can be updated independently.
● Modules can have private resources, such as templates, configurations, maintenance pages.
● Modules can be omitted if not needed, saving some resources.
But there are potential benefits to separation that were not realized:
● The service modules were not easily replaced with alternate implementations
● References using hard coded module names litter the entire system wherever a service is needed
In XOOPS 2.6.0 we'll introduce a "Service Manager" component:
● Services located by service name, not provider
● Service interface established by Contract
● Returns a standardized Response object that includes result, status and messages
● Request is based on a well known interface
● Actual provider does not matter to caller
● No need to check for a specific module
● If the service is not available, that status is returned just like any other error condition.
● Service providers are only instantiated when explicitly requested, and then kept for the duration of the PHP run.
● A locate event is not triggered until a named service is first requested, so if a service is not used, it has no overhead cost.
● If no providers for a service are installed, the locate trigger has little cost, and any subsequent calls go straight to a NullProvider that minimizes resource use.
Richard Griffith, our Core Team leader, has created a presentation to show you how XOOPS 2.6.0 will implement the Service Manager, and how to use it. You can see the presentation on SlideShare
This is the second presentation from our new "XOOPS 2.6.0 Education Series", where we will share with new features being developed for XOOPS 2.6.0, and show you how to use them.
The first presentation was about Asset Management using Assetic
XOOPS 2.6.0 is currently in development, in pre-Alpha 3 stage.
There is a lot of new development going into XOOPS 2.6.0, as you can see from these articles:
XOOPS is back, and with a vengeance! 
Major improvements to XOOPS 2.6.0, Alpha 3 release is getting closer!
and after adding Doctrine, PHPUnit, Composer, Assetic, and several other cool things, Service Manager is another component that will simplify XOOPS development!
You can contribute to the XOOPS 2.6.0 development by forking it from GitHub, and submitting your code there.
We would also like to thank Slider84 from XOOPS France for his help in creating the template for this presentation!

XOOPS supports the upcoming "Crafting Code Tour" with PHP Expert Brandon Savage
XOOPS Project is very proud to support the upcoming "Crafting Code Tour" with PHP Expert Brandon Savage
Writing great, high quality code is hard. Understanding the nuances of the languages you use, and the way in which you accomplish certain tasks can be highly challenging. That’s why The Crafting Code Tour is coming to a city near you in Summer of 2014. And the best part? Attending is completely FREE!
The Crafting Code Tour is a 18-city, 15-state, 3-country speaking tour aimed at the PHP user group community. Kicking off in June, this tour will hit sixteen cities in North America and bring along world-class speakers of different types to speak at individual user groups. To the user groups, this event will be free, paid for by sponsors of the tour.
The Crafting Code Tour will focus on how developers can do their best work, how software development is a craft, and how we can grow. While the list of speakers along the tour route is still being compiled (and will likely change for various cities), the goal is clear: to prove that it’s not impossible to bring outside speakers to individual user groups.
The meeting in Cincinnati, OH is on July 16 at the UC School of Information Technology.

XOOPS 2.6.0 Assets Management using Assetic
A web page consists of a base HTML document and any additional files it may include, such as stylesheets, scripts, images and fonts. We will refer to these additional files as assets.
Assets are a very important part of the user experience. For today's rich, highly interactive web applications, the asset performance may be more significant than the backend application and database performance.
In XOOPS 2.6.0 we'll use Assetic, originally developed by Kris Wallsmith, to manage all the assets.
Richard Griffith, our Core Team leader, has created a presentation to show you how XOOPS 2.6.0 will be managing its assets. You can see the presentation on SlideShare
This is the first presentation from our new "XOOPS 2.6.0 Education Series", where we will share with new features being developed for XOOPS 2.6.0, and show you how to use them.

XOOPS 2.5.7 RC-1 Released for Testing
We are getting closer to have a PHP 5.5.x - certified XOOPS version.
Today we are very happy to release for testing XOOPS 2.5.7 RC-1
This release is focused on PHP 5.5.x compatibility, security enhancements, and bug fixes. We have also updated jQuery and several jQuery components.
Angelo Rocha also has updated this new cool theme: the xBootstrap theme, based on Bootstrap
See the Changelog below for more details.
Minimum PHP Version: 5.3.7
Please note: the fact that the XOOPS Core runs correctly on PHP 5.5.x, doesn't mean that all your modules will run correctly, therefore you'll need to test them first.
The recently released modules that qualify for our Basic Module Pack, are all tested on PHP 5.5.x, 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 a RC version and mainly for features testing!!!!

ModuleInstaller 1.0 Final released
Testing the XOOPS 2.5.6 Basic Module Pack - Beta 1 can be sometimes frustrating, if you have to install and uninstall the modules again and again, and you have to do it individually one by one.
Normally the option to select bunch of modules and install/unistall them at once should be a standard feature, but because we are not adding new features to XOOPS Core, I've decided to create a module that would do it for me.
Fortunately, we already have the feature in the XOOPS Installer when we're installing XOOPS for the first time. During the installation process XOOPS presents you with PM, Profile, and Protector modules, and you can choose which ones, if any, you want to install.
So I took the code from there and have made a module out of it: ModuleInstaller.
And I've added "Unistall" feature as well, where you can select several modules and uninstall them at once:
You can download the module from XOOPS File Repository
This module will become part of each of the Module Packs, to make installation easier.
Please help us with testing of the XOOPS 2.5.6 Basic Module Pack
