XOOPS 2.3.0 Alpha 3 Is Released

xoops.org - Wed, 2008-05-07 08:30
The XOOPS Development Team is pleased to announce the release of XOOPS 2.3.0 Alpha 3.

The objective of XOOPS 2.3 releases is to merge the two existent branches of 2.0 and 2.2 and to build a bridge towards our next generation of system XOOPS 3.0.

With XOOPS 2.3 releases, users will be able to learn some of new features that will be available in XOOPS 3.0, while developers can understand better the direction of XOOPS development, and designers can learn what features will be supported in the future.

Both backward and forward compatibility will be guaranteed as much as possible. Modules written for 2.0.* and 2.2.* will work with 2.3; applications developed for 2.3 will be compatible with XOOPS 3.0 automatically.

Developers are encouraged to write their application modules on XOOPS 2.3 so they can incorporate some of the new features and ensure easy migration to XOOPS 3.0.

One of the specific improvements coming with Alpha 3 is user experience oriented backend interface enhancement including the introduction of control panel GUI, which allows custom backend interface, e.g. ThAdmin by MusS.

Download XOOPS 2.3.0 Alpha 3 core package and add-on package from Sourceforge repository.

International Support Team Formed

xoops.org - Tue, 2008-04-29 02:30
We are happy to announce that we have formed a XOOPS International Support Team. This team, comprised of Webmasters of XOOPS Local Support Sites, will work on:

- improving XOOPS international support around the world
- exchanging information about local issues
- improving globalization/translations of XOOPS
- define a translation process for local translations teams
- define needed translation tools
- define translation requirements for XOOPS, so the local teams have an easier job doing the translations
- improving sharing of Best Practices
- create a "Tool Kit" for new XOOPS International Support Websites
- create a process to feed back to XOOPS local innovations and ideas. There are cool local modules or themes, but the world doesn't know it because the author is not fluent in English.

This team will be coordinated by Runeher. We are extremely happy to have him on the XOOPS team - he is one of the new and dedicated XOOPS supporters, who are discovering XOOPS and are jumping on board to help! Within a very short time, he was able to team up with other Nordic countries, create a Xoops Nordic Website, a central hub and a gateway to that region, and all of this, while creating some really cool modules. With more people like him, XOOPS will have indeed a very bright future!



About Runeher (Rune Hauge):

He was born in in Norway, but now he works as a web designer and artist from his farm in Denmark.

Rune discovered XOOPS around 3 Years ago after trying out other CMS for a while, and fell completely in love with it because of its user backend simplicity. He uses XOOPS mostly for all new clients as long as the client doesn't disagree, which has never happend yet

He is self-taught and uses different script languages within XOOPS including PHP, Java, Flash among others, when developing new sites.

He is co-webmaster for Xoops Nordic, Xoops Norway, Xoops Sweden and Xoops Finland.

In his free time, when he doesn't work on XOOPS, Rune likes to train his five rottweiler dogs, work on his farm, remaking it to a castle for him and his wife, and he loves to play paintball, not because there are guns involved, but because it's great fun! He also likes scuba diving, horseback riding and he can't live without watching TV football (or soccer in USA).

Return of the Jedi (Onokazu)

xoops.org - Mon, 2008-04-28 16:00
We are extremely happy to announce that Onokazu, the Founder of XOOPS is returning to XOOPS

He will be joining us as the very first member of our newly established XOOPS Advisory Board!

The XOOPS Advisory Board will include respected and well known individuals, who will be helping us with strategic direction for XOOPS.

And we couldn't think of anybody more deserving to be the first member of the XOOPS Advisory Board than the Founder of XOOPS - Onokazu!

In his response to our invitation, Onokazu stated:

Quote:You guys seem to be doing great recently, and I would like to help the project in any way I can if possible.
We strongly believe that no project can be truly successful without recognizing the role of past Founders, so this is a very happy time for us to get re-united with Onokazu.

Creating the XOOPS Advisory Board is just one of the many things that we are working on to make XOOPS the best CMS around, and with all of the XOOPS community members working together, we can certainly look forward to a very bright future for XOOPS.

May the Source be with you!!!

Jobs 3.0 RC3 released

xoops.org - Sat, 2008-04-26 09:30
I have released RC3.
I have fixed all the errors reported on my site(www.jlmzone.com), plus some others.
I have also added some extra security in the code, which makes it necessary to upgrade to this version.
If you are upgrading from 3.0 RC2 you don't need to use the upgrade script, but all other versions need to run the upgrade script.

To run the upgrade script point your browser to:
yoursite/modules/jobs/admin/upgrade.php

You need to be logged in as admin to run this script. If you are not sure, run the script, it can't hurt.

I have also fixed the resume search function, but it requires a very small core hack. You can find the hack in the forums on my site, look for 'resume search hack'.

You can find the module HERE.

Report any errors HERE.



Thanks,

John
