PHP 5.3 mit neuem Turbo?

Die nächste größere PHP Version scheint ja mal richtig schnell zu werden. Wie man in der php.internals Liste lesen kann, bringt wohl ein neuer Sprachparser beachtliche Geschwindigkeitssteigerungen mit sich.

Im Vergleich zu PHP 5.2 sollen diverse CMS Systeme unter PHP 5.3 um einige Prozente schneller laufen:

  • Drupal 20% schneller
  • TYPO3 30% schneller
  • WordPress 15% schneller
  • Xoops 10% schneller

Na da freuen wir uns doch drauf.

German Xoops Support site restructured and redesigned

The team at the german xoops support site worked hard the last weeks to get the content of the site better arranged. The site is online since the very beginning of xoops and this was very visible to the users.

German Xoops Support

The management of the german support changed a little. frankblack (francis on xoops.org) is now the head of the team. migoe stepped in to help with organising and moderating the forums and studioC is doing a german xoops newsletter together with frankblack now.
We all decided that myxoops.org needs improvement. So we updated the modules and are using wfdownloads for our downloads section now, newbb2 as forum module and smartFAQ for our documentations.

My job was to put the new structure in a well suited dress. I designed a fixed with theme for good readability. The header images on our site are depending on the currently viewed module. I posted a faq about this at xoops.org. Also the currently viewed module gets highlighted in the main menu. I posted this hack in the xoops.org forums a while ago.

The forum itself gets the full width of this fixed theme. The navigation is displayed above the board there.

If you want to see our new site in action, visit us at www.myxoops.org.

Wysiwyg Patch for News module available

Are you tired of using the internal Xoops Editor? Than its time to apply this patch to your news module. It will integrate the Spaw Wysiwyg Editor (needs IE 5.5) in your news module. The Patch can be downloaded at www.xoops.org or at www.myxoops.de.

Configuration Settings

  • Wysiwyg Editor can be activated for Admin
  • Wysiwyg Editor can be activated for User submit
  • You can deactivate the linebreak conversion to avoid white space in front of the html code
  • Xoops Editor will automatically be displayed, if a user doesn’t have IE 5.5

Install Instructions

  • If the news module isn’t installed yet, install it through the modules administration firstly.
  • Overwrite the news module files included in Xoops 2.0.5 with the files in the package
  • After that update the news module

This patch doesn’t make any changes to the database! Only one class file has changed, in order to display the wysiwyg content correctly.

TinyContent v1.5 is available

Again a new version of TinyContent. You can download it at www.xoops.org or at www.myxoops.de! So what are the new features?

Changelog:

  • Printer friendly page
  • Send2friend
  • In wysiwyg mode, TinyContent detects the browser and automatically switches to the Xoops Editor if you aren’t using IE 5.5 or above
  • Bug fixed when disabling smilies
  • code cleaning

The new version is available in the modules section on this site. If you were using TinyContent v1.4, simply overwrite the files and update the module!

TinyContent v1.4 with new Features!

TinyContent is now available in version 1.4. You can get it in the download area at xoops.org. This version of tinycontent utilizes Xoops 2.0.5 functions and so it doesn’t work with older Xoops versions!!

New Features:

  • Deactivation of Linebreak Conversion possible, so there is no longer white space in front of included html-code
  • every content can be showed as a submenu item
  • you can choose between xoops internal editor and a wysiwyg editor. with the wysiwyg editor you can also include images into your content, which you have uploaded with the image manager

Other Features:

  • Comments can be activated/deactivated for single contents
  • every content can be set visible for the tinycontent block
  • upload, delete and wrap html-pages possible

In this version, the database is different to older versions. If somebody writes an update script, I will be very happy :-)
