AMS Module

NovaSmart Technology proudly announce Article Management System (AMS) 2.41 RC1.

This release already gone through 3 weeks alpha testing by our internal staff and considered stable in our controlled environment. This RC1 will be renamed as FINAL after 2 weeks from now if there is no new / critical bugs reported.

What Is AMS

AMS is a highly modified version of the News 1.2 for Xoops, and adds a huge amount of features to give the webmasters a lot more control over their content while still maintaining an easy to understand and use interface. AMS is highly scalable, and is geared towards performance, and as such is well suited to large article repositories that attract high amounts of users.

Features

Koivi WYSIWYG editor integration : Your choice of using the default Xoops editor or Koivi editor selectable via AMS preferences. When using koivi editor also has a separate area for the article description as well as the main area for putting your article, so there is no need for use of the [extend] tag anymore.
NOTE: You MUST install Koivi editor separately before this feature can be used. you can download Koivi from here

Advanced Spotlight management : Choose your AMS spotlight block layout from three different template layouts, and add unlimited spotlight blocks with the option to display article mini stats including total articles, total article reads and total article comments. The all new spotlight block administration area allows you to configure exactly how and where to display your AMS spotlight item. From here you can add new spotlight items, selecting the latest article, the latest article in a topic, a specific article, or use the custom setting to display an image or banner using straight HTML code. You can also set things such as what image to display, wether to use an auto or manual teaser, how many characters the auto teaser should display, what text a manual teaser should contain, whether to display the spotlight item in the spotlight block or not, and item weighting where the lowest weighted item is treated as the main spotlight item.

Complete migration and upgrade script : This script enables you to migrate all content, permissions and comments from all presently released version of the News module. It also enables you to upgrade from AMS 2.2.

View by topic revamped : The view by topic view has undergone a huge overhaul and now presents itself with much more emphasis on navigation via topic and sub-topic.

New breadcrumb navigation system viewable in the topic and article views for easier browsing.

Topics Manager : Topics manager now has a topic weighting system so you can set the listing order when using the view by topic mode.

Article image selection : You can now select to display the user avatar in addition to the topic or no image when viewing an article.

Aphex Themes on IE

After a hard work over the whole weekend, Aphex Themes has opened this morning for visitors that run older versions IE of browser than IE7. With this, theme has suffered more modifications such as using images for block's titles, also notable is that we don't use any js or htc for making png transparent for older browsers.
The optimization for older IE was done purely for the challenge as i gathered more and more users browse using Firefox .Minor things remained to be done but they can be done with the opened site. Well enough said

Thank you

New site for scout group

Finally finished: A site for a scout-group based on XOOPS 2.2.

Several news clones, custom programed blocks, not that really 'clean' programmed but effective enough to provide a site where multiple scouts & leaders can post news about activities without having to worry about the front page, since news 'teasers' are auto-generated into a three colum lay-outed front page.

I also made a custom theme, supporting separate sub-pages for each age-group (beaver, cubsouts, scouts, rovers, etc.)

Only in Dutch (sorry), but check it out because comments are very welcome.

Xoops Comments - Prevent Anonymous User Spam

Although there is option in every module that would let you choose who can post a comment. But what if you want anonymous users to post comments as well. There isn't any option (at least I couldn't find any) that will prevent anonymous users from spamming. So this hack will prevent spam if a url\link is found in anonymous users' post.

As always recommended while playing with hacks, make sure you backup the file you will be editing. In this case its: XOOPS_ROOT_DIR\Include\comment_post.php

Note: I have tested it only on Xoops 2.0.16


Start...

1) Open XOOPS_ROOT_DIR\Include\comment_post.php


2) Look for the following on line 138

Original Code
break;
case "post":

   $doimage = 1;
    $comment_handler =& xoops_gethandler('comment');
    $add_userpost = false;
    $call_approvefunc = false;
    $call_updatefunc = false;




3) Change it to ...
break;
case "post":

    //myhack - Prevent Anonymous User Spam
    //if a URLLINK is found in link, then dont let annonymous user post.
    $myhack_comment = $_POST['com_text'];
    $myhack_title = $_POST['com_title'];
    //checking if poster is anonymous
    if (!is_object($xoopsUser)) {
        if (preg_match("/http/",$myhack_comment) || preg_match("/www/",$myhack_comment) || preg_match("/href/",$myhack_comment) || preg_match("/http/",$myhack_title) || preg_match("/www/",$myhack_title)) {
            echo "Dont Spam Bitch!!!!!";
            exit();    
        }
        else {
        }
    }
    //end of myhack


    $doimage = 1;
    $comment_handler =& xoops_gethandler('comment');
    $add_userpost = false;
    $call_approvefunc = false;
    $call_updatefunc = false;

Stonehenge Festival

hhttp://www.stonehengefestival.nl
Just an average Xoops-site.

A site I build for the small dutch heavy metal festival 'Stonehenge'. The reason I switched to Xoops was the handy use of multiple languages with the xLanguage module. As more and more foreign visitors visited the site it became important to present at least a bi-langual site.
Performance is an issue though, but thats not the fault of Xoops but of my hostingprovider http://www.servage.net. They're cheap, and give you A LOT but performance isn't a strong point of them. At the bottom of my site you can see the loadtime; in black so it doesn't draw to much attention.
I tried other cms-es but Xoops is the one I feel most comfortable with.
