Donator Version Of AMS 2.4 Released!

It has been just over three full months since AMS first hit the Xoops scene, and I am very happy to announce that we now have a donator only release of AMS 2.4 available for download. AMS 2.2 has proved to be popular, and has racked up almost 3000 downloads from the IT Headquarters site in the two months since its public release, and I'm hoping that the considerable work done with AMS 2.4 will make it just as much a hit.

Netquery 2.2 XHTML

Version 2.2 of Netquery, the complete PHP/SQL open-source toolkit of network information utilities, is now available for download from Dev.Xoops and from the VIRtech web site.

This version is fully compliant with XHTML 1.0 Strict and related CSS standards. Its new user interface is much more compact and site administrators can easily create their own customized layouts using CSS stylesheet options*. All download packages include two query selector button sets and two (horizontal and vertical) layout stylesheets. This version also includes special handling to resolve whois.denic.de server query issues.

(* Please note that Netquery CSS styles rely on Xoops' <{$xoops_module_header}> feature. Lack of this feature in some Xoops theme versions will affect Netquery's appearance but will not impair any functionality. Also note that the XHTML Strict compliance statement applies only to the Netquery module and not to page elements inserted from any CMS core.)

Running on v2.0.9.2 and using modules as news, mig, smartfaq, istats, downloads, mylinks, etc. content management of this pentecostal church's internet outlet is easier than the simple HTML-based site used before.
