XOOPS is approaching a next generation of web CMS - XooSphere. During the procedure, we have a couple of intermediate releases, including XOOPS 2.013, 2.2*, 2.3 and so on. It is good for users to get know of some features they are expecting before the final XooSphere comes out, however, the modules for various release of XOOPS causes troubles to XOOPS users and module developers.

A new plugin (or utility) for Xoops

After days of work, I have managed to convert the “API” used by Article module to a generic Xoops plugin that can be used by any module.

I am not sure what name is proper for it, just call it “Transfer“.

Currently we have two three modules on this site enabled with the functionality:
Article, could transfer an article to NewBB/CBB, WordPress, DokuWiki, PDF, print and emailing.
CBB , could transfer a post to Article, WordPress, DokuWiki, PDF, print and emailing.
XMLine, could transfer remote content (RSS/RDF/ATOM) to Article, CBB, WordPress, DokuWiki, PDF, print and emailing.

The transfer items is plugable, which means there is no limit on plugins.
A bookmark plugin is being developed.

Updated: Sep 13, 2005 23:25 Eastern Time
Bookmark is now enabled in both CBB and Article:
delicious, Sina VIVI, Yesky, 365key, BlogChina
Note: the later four are for Chinese only. If you have any social bookmark services, plz let me know so that I can make them coming with Xoops plugin.

Seeking comeslogist for “Article” module

I am seeking comeslogist(s) for my module “Article”.
“Article” is a new module that I have been working on for almost one year.

Functionalities:

  • Typical article management
  • News management
  • Personal Blog

Features:

  1. Different templates/css for each individual article and category (A new trial I have created and hope it would benefit XOOPS modules)
  2. Cross-category
  3. Topic (Or special series)
  4. True multi-pages (no length limit for an article, another new feature I have created)
  5. Different level of edit forms
  6. Different article status (from created, personal, submitted, registered, published to featured)
  7. Keywords bridging
  8. Headings/Notes auto-generation
  9. Pingback/trackback

More features will be disclosed with public release.

If you have interest and to serve as “Article Comeslogist”, plz send me message or leave a comment here.
Note: There is no count limit on comeslogists since the “Article” has the capability to use various templates and CSSes on-fly.
Once your design is accepted, I would invite you as a co-author of the “Article”.

Dev status:

  • The coding part has been finished.
  • Xoops internal bridging system is being developed, partially implemented in the “Article”.
  • A default set of template/css created by myself, fully-CSS driven, but the skin is not beautiful.
  • Multi-user blog system, which is based on the “Article”, has been proposed.
