I’ve started the Video Galleries section, a special Xoops module which allows to create videoclip galleries taken from YouTube, Google Video, etc. and classify them in categories adding comments, rating, charts and other nice features.
For registered users it’s also possible to send links to videos of their choice to add them to the collection.
I hope you like it!
I’ve updated Xoops to version 2.0.18.1, just like previously announced.
Actually it’s really a small upgrade touching functions which should have no impact on modules’ functionality (just maybe even fixing some small incompatibilites previously found), so I’m expecting to see no issues.
Anyway, please immediately inform me if you should find any error.
I’ve just updated Xoops to version 2.0.18, the latest in the 2.x serie.
Seems like everything is working just like before, but you never know, since there are parts of the website that aren’t used too often for sure.
So I ask you to let me know if you should find errors or bugs or any other problems, allowing me to see what to do in order to fix them. Thanks!
Some of you might have noticed that some time ago I’ve added the “LightBox” effect, which displays images inside a box, enriching their estetical value.
This though had made impossible to download the image itself for those who wanted to keep a copy of it on their pc, and this is particularly annoying for desktop wallpaper images, that you need to save on your pc in order to be useful.
That’s why I’ve just completed a modification to the LightBox script which adds two small buttons on the lower left corner of the display box, one for the image download and the other for a printer-friendly page.
I’ve decided to replace the News module being used until now with Xpress, WordPress for Xoops, the same that I’m using on UnixPortal. The reason is not the intention to move towards a blog oriented layout, but rather having a more versatile news/articles management compared to the one offered by the previous module.
With this new system I can finally display on the homepage the general info related to website and Community, while it was much more complex and difficult before.
Now that the site is open to the public I think it’s fair to give important information on the main page in place of a poor static page.
