XOOPS Named One of Top 3 CMS in the World

2010-06-11T10:50:00+02:00

It's nice to see that XOOPS continues to win Awards and to rank high in different CMS comparisons.

This month XOOPS has been named as one of the Top 3 CMS in the world by Webmaster9

We like the author's conclusion:

Quote:

There are a lot of CMSs today that web developers and designers could choose from. But when it comes to free, successful, and user friendly CMS, there would only be 3 names for it, Drupal, Joomla!, and XOOPS.

Viva XOOPS!

xNews 1.68 UTF-8 CLonable & SEO RC1

2010-06-08T16:20:00+02:00

Sorry for such long timelapse but had to move both appartment and office.

I have made lots of old and new bug corrections, changes and improvements and before making any other addition I would like to consolidate 1.68 version as is, therefore I made an RC1 version for testing and will soon realease xNews 1.68 FINAL and after that i will concentrate on 1.69 version.

In the works - New xNews Importer/Exporter Module 1.0

Here is a list of major changes. Made so many though that I did loose track of some....

- Module preferences
- changed "Show Previous and Next link" to accept None, Bottom, Top, Both visualization
- added "Display Link Icons" (print, friend, pdf icons) as above
- changed "SEO enable" to accept none, htaccess, path-info
- added "SEO path" to include a title in url


eg. http://your.site.com/a-title-here/topics.1/your-topic.html

- added "SEO level" to htaccess in xoops root dir or in module dir for different url visualization


eg. ROOT = http://your.site.com/a-title-here/topics.1/your-topic-title.html


MODULE = http://your.site.com/modules/xnews/a-title-here.topics.1/your-topic-title.html

- Clone manager
- added "Force upgrade" to enable further upgrading in case things go wrong
- added "Delete" clone once uninstalled (this will remove selected clone dir and files completely).
- Other
- added "Extend meta-data input" to toggle between text and textarea for user edit meta-data input
with 255 char max length control
- added and modified htaccess one for root and one for modules/xnews as needed
- improved UTF-8 management
- Fixed Comments SEO related issues

Upgrading xNews Beta to RC1:
copy all files in modules/xnews then go to admin-modules menu and update xnews.

Upgrading clones Beta to RC1:
go to admin-xnews-Clone Manager and click on "Force Upgrade" for each clone then goto admin-modules
and update each upgraded clone.

Testing XOOPS Modules with Selenium IDE

2010-06-08T11:10:00+02:00

Testing is not popular! It is simply boring, and that's the reality!

When we are developing a new XOOPS release, most problems are being reported after the final release, when users start updating their XOOPS installations. The number of alpha/beta testers is unfortunately not very high.

Hopefully, this will change by using Selenium IDE, a very cool extension for Firefox, which allows you to record, edit, and debug tests. You can see it in action in this short video, where I develop some very simple tests for XOOPS Poll:

As you can see, we can develop very standard tests for each module to test their individual features. All these test cases can be then saved as a Test Suite for a particular module.

Once we publish such a Test Suite, individual testers can run these Test Suites in their environment (PHP, MySQL, etc), and report back any bugs that they encounter.

Selenium IDE will help us to reduce the testing time, take away the boring repetitive tasks, and will result in improved quality of XOOPS and XOOPS modules.

Of course, the challenge will be to create those tests.

Hopefully, our users will see the value in creating such tests and will help us with that. These test will show our developers how the modules are actually used, what activities are typically performed and in what sequence.

Please help us by creating these Selenium IDE tests! We'll create then a central library for these tests, so you could download them and test our standard modules, and help us with improving XOOPS and XOOPS modules.
