To see the main features of XOOPS 2.5.0, check out the following videos:
1. Copy the content of the htdocs/ folder where it can be accessed by your server 2. Ensure mainfile.php and uploads/ are writable by the web server 3. For security considerations, you are STRONGLY encouraged to move directories "/xoops_lib" (for XOOPS libraries) and "/xoops_data" (for XOOPS data) out of Document Root, and change the folder names. 4. Make the directory xoops_data/ writable; Create (if not already present) and make the directories xoops_data/caches/, xoops_data/caches/xoops_cache/, xoops_data/caches/smarty_cache/ and xoops_data/caches/smarty_compile/ writable (permission 0777 on Linux). 5. Access the folder where you've installed the htdocs/ files using your web browser to launch the installation wizard 6. Follow the instructions
Debug information display level -----------------------------------
Since XOOPS 2.3.1 debug information display level is enabled as a temporary solution for 2.3* to show debug information to different level of users: to all users, to members or to admins only. The configuration can be set in /xoops_data/configs/xoopsconfig.php A new debug information tools will be available for 2.4 using FireBug (see http://tinyurl.com/nmnjdp)
The full XOOPS package is released with a script able to check if all the system files have been correctly uploaded to the server. To use it, follow these instructions:
1. Upload the checksum.php and checksum.md5 files located in the XOOPS package root to your XOOPS server folder (putting them next to mainfile.php). 2. Execute checksum.php with your browser 3. If necessary, re-upload the missing or corrupted system files 4. Remove checksum.php and checksum.md5 from your server
Modules -----------------------------------
This release contains only the "system-related modules". You are invited to browse the XOOPS modules repository to if you need additional functionality. Note: as a new repository is being built, the current repository is not up-to-date, PLEASE VISIT INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPERS' WEBSITES TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING LATEST VERSION OF MODULES.

Really?
Hmm, I made a new version (firedebug15) for x244. Get it here. Install these two addons for Firefox: Firebug and Firephp
Unzip firedebug15 and copy the files at the right places (make a backup first of the files to be overwritten). Enable inline debug and you should be done. Even smarty will be debugged (which could be a bit shocking, because of sloppy coding in some templates).
Note: this debug package only holds firedebug and not pqp.
It would be nice, if debug setting could be added to group permissions plus adding the type of debugger to general preferences.
Trabis' first idea of making packages of debuggers would be handy, so that other debuggers could be added easily. Initially there were 3 debugger packages: legacy (the normal debugger), pqp and firedebug.

I have made a new video with XOOPS 2.5 alpha2 and Formuss content module. All off us know XOOPS as cms, you can have a forum, downloads, gallery etc, but it didn't work for small office content. I have in mind to make more videos like this focussed on how to use XOOPS for personal site or bussines site, i have tryed same in XOOPS 1.x years ago but was not posible, now we can see that is easy to start in XOOPS 2.5, and don't know where could finish this.
I have finished my first part of easy webs with XOOPS + content. I am not designer and that is why it looks ugly web, but i hope that this opens mind for designers so they can impress us with this door XOOPS 2.5 + content is opening.
I dedicate this set of video to Sergio Kohl, we have tryed hard to make this years ago and was not posible, now it is.
I have set it in http://www.uskola.info under XOOPS 2.4.4 but is more hard to set than XOOPS 2.5.
The calendar looks cool, but I noticed it is a commercial script and there wasn't anything in your docs stating the licensing requirements or if you had obtained redistribution rights. Is this covered somewhere?

It seems like in XOOPS 2.5.0 Alpha 2 the developers updated jsCalendar to the newest version (based on the original link included in the ReadMe file), without realizing that the code license has been now changed to commercial.
This commercial calendar is now being replaced in the code, and the change will be reflected in the next version of XOOPS 2.5.0.
Is there any news when we can expect XOOPS 2.5 beta? I will soon upgrade our xoopshr.org to latest version. If 2.5 is almost finnished I'll wait for this version.
