WOX (World of XOOPS) Newsletter # 12 (September 2008)
W.O.X. - WORLD OF XOOPS #12 (September 2008)
Another month, and another issue of the WOX (World of XOOPS) Newsletter (see here previous versions). We are glad that you enjoy reading this newsletter and we appreciate your feedback!
Month of August was a very busy month for us - with new XOOPS 2.3 RC2 being released, and with work on the new Theme Gallery. But we also got great news with XOOPS being the finalist of Best PHP Open Source CMS. And we've got more modules and themes being released showing the creativity of the community, and we've seen more and more Websites around the world successfully utilizing XOOPS.
- XOOPS 2.3 release is coming soon (hopefully in September). This is the release that XOOPS users have been waiting for, as it will finally merge the two branches 2.0.x and 2.2.x! There are also tons of improvements, for example:
- the Admin themes are now modular
- new Extended DHTML editor as default
- new modules: Extended User Profile and Private Messages
Check out the latest Release Candidate 2.
And please help us with testing and debugging, especially with the upgrade scripts, so we can make sure that there are no bugs in the final release.
In the meantime, we are still focusing on Marketing campaign preparation for the XOOPS 2.3 Release via a Competition for XOOPS 2.3 Marketing Materials. Check out the idea for our new Video promo - help us in making it a great one!
- XOOPS in Finals for Best PHP Open Source CMS!!!! Yes, XOOPS is on the roll - this is the second time this year that XOOPS got into finals of a major Open Source competition, the first being for "Best Open Source Project" on Source Forge Community Awards. The voting is open, and we need your vote, so please VOTE TODAY!!! Click here to vote for XOOPS
- We continue with the XOOPS Innovation Award - for people who create something very unique and innovative for XOOPS. This time the award goes to Herve Thouzard (hervet) from Instant Zero for his awesome Olédrion eCommerce module, and to Jerry Pfeiffer (tank1955) for his cool Video Tube module.
- The "XOOPSer of the Month" is given to XOOPS members who show extraordinary dedication to XOOPS, and go the extra mile for XOOPS. This month we would like to recognize two community members: Stefan Zagorchev (Stefan88) for his continues support of XOOPS users, and to Marc Desrousseaux (Marco) for his support and for testing/debugging of XOOPS 2.3.

X-Torrent is a complete torrent solution for Xoops 2.3, 2.2 & 2.0. There is a lot of potential in torrent sharing, this allows you a company, business, personal or educational institute to distribute data via torrents which is useful. Due to the large volume of difference between internet speeds in the world, torrents now consist of over 18% of broadband traffic. Torrents are becoming a commodity these day from small to large files.
Currently x-Torrent offers a large range of options, but we will be releasing a new version in around 6 months, if some spare time comes in we will be writing in more options and systems. x-Torrent is a module which offer full control of torrents in XOOPS, it will poll the torrents as well as download file information, seeds, leeches, trackers etc, of the torrent.

UHQ-RadioBasic v1.01 Released
It's with great pleasure I announce the first full release of UHQ-RadioBasic!
Originally born from the UHQ-Radio project, this basic edition's sole job is to provide a block which can provide a simple status for either a Shoutcast or IceCast based streaming radio station. It will also support an IceCast failover mount if you use one.
This module parses XML stat files only, and thus you will need to get the appropriate passwords from your stream host.
You can download it here.

Gifts45.com got socialized
Gifts45.com is focusing on social news too
After a long busy period, with no time for updates, we left other projects for a while, to implement Onokazu's great social-news ( digg style ) module - Xigg
Gifts45.com is now a better platform for site promotion (or products promotion) and is focusing in the "Shopping / Gifts / Travel" fields of interest.
The site is heavily based on two main modules: weblinks and xigg (thank you Ohawada & ono for this exelent modules)
Direct link to the new social news section is: http://www.gifts45.com/modules/Xigg/index.php/ ( we called it " what's on" )
Those who use our inTHEtube module and are interested to see what it inspired us to do with it (not xoops unfortunately, due to some tech issues) - can see : inTHEtube.TV - we liked the module - so we made a whole site around the inTHEtube idea ( site is in beta stage )

Our New Theme Gallery ready for Final Testing
In our constant drive to make XOOPS Website more user friendly, we have now our new XOOPS Theme Gallery ready for final testing. One missing item is still the breadcrump, but we are working on this.
Each Theme will have own preview panel, from which you'll be able to:
- see more info about the theme
- download the theme
- see a demo of the theme
If you click on the Theme thumbnail, you'll have a preview window with a larger picture of the theme. You'll be able to navigate to next or previous theme, or you can close the window and be back where you started. To close the preview window you can click anywhere on the screen.
Please let us know if you like this new XOOPS Theme Gallery.
Big thanks to Burning for his hard work on this, and to Aph3x for his help on the GUI.
