SMF module for XOOPS

[Tywick]

Once SMF is considerred fully stable I'll begin work on two SMF for XOOPS 1.3.x and XOOPS 2.x modules.

For now I have YaBB TDfX that is built off of YaBB SE 1.5.4 in beta phase. There's a few little tweaks that need to be done yet but for the most part the membership ports over.

For those interested in staying up-to-date with the current developement of YaBB TDfX I recommend visiting http://dev.tywick.com and/or http://test.msnug.com/xoops/

I would love this, since SMF is awesome, and XOOPS is a great web portal.

The combination leaves you with an unbeatable website, am I right or am I right?

Interesting idea.  Funny to see how quickly xoops has gained in poularity.  Last time I went there the site looked like a hacked up phpnuke.

"hacked up phpnuke"

That was my evaluation after looking at it too.

If I'm not mistaken, it is I think.. it used to be a myphpnuke copy I thought.

so yes XOOPS is a hacked up myphpNuke/phpNuke.
XOOPS v 2 has "evolved" (over-complicated) quite a bit from 1.3.x.

I intend to provide SMF modules for both versions.

Mmmm...... In searching on "xoops" I see that I likened Xoops to a hacked up PHPnuke last August.

I have to say that soon after that I actually used Xoops to create a site and I love it. Xoops has evolved into a very elegant portal system that allows you to create a powerful site in a very short amount of time. Take a look at www.bloggerforum.com for an example.

I have another site that relies on YabbSE and I keep wanting to convert it to a Xoops site. However, I like Yabb so much I would hate to lose it for the NewBB forum platform that comes stock with Xoops. Being able to integrate the two (or, as it now turns out, SM) would be ideal.

for me xoops is better than phpnuke. much more easy to use. cool if they insert this new forum to their.

[AmphetaMarinE]

Man... after checking out a few xoops powered sites, i gotta say...
I can't wait for a SMF module for xoops to be released!!
It really does look nice... and I think I will end up using it rather than my originally planned mambo cms for my site.

Looking forward to this release very much

I'd like an SMF module for XOOPS because even though I can't theme SMF, I CAN theme XOOPS.

Well I guess the pressure is on to start work now.

I'll see what I can do and if I'll have better luck with SMF for X2 than I have for YaBB

[HoTmetal]

Yeah theres a bunch of Nuke-like content Mangagement software out there.....

I didn't fand any that really met me needs, I more or less needed a quick site development sofware...
I found phpWebSite. Its a bit less invloved compaired to nuke/post nuke, but it better fit my needs..
Check it out

What does phpWebSite have to do with this thread?

Could a moderator split this please?

[Spark_of_Ice]

Very interesting.  So its impossible to start right now?

[Tywick]

I'd prefer to wait until a stable release but it seems many people are anxious for an SMF XOOPS module. But it would take a couble months before I would be able to release. It would probably be less than a month if I actually made a living wage off it.

Whats a Porla and whats

Alittle research won't hurt you, homie.

Sorry to bring this back to life but I'm wondering about the Xoops 'modulification' of SMF.

SMF is THE forum software but Xoops is an excellent portal.  I've tried MANY and my share of Nuke flavors.  Xoops has evolved so much since I last looked at it that it's now my main portal.  BUT, Xoops has a piss-poor forum hack of an old old phpbb forum version.  There are a couple of other hacks available to run other forums but I want my SMF

[Tywick]

What version of XOOPS are you using right now?

Currently I'm still waiting for a solid Release Candidate of SMF and also confirmation regarding the SMF license before I start any module work on SMF for XOOPS. If you're using X 1.3 then I recommend you move over to Sphinx when it becomes available. It's based off of X 1.3 but I've been adding better functionality to the core and of course I plan on making SMF work well with it. Currently the YaBB module is working pretty good with it.
