Merci à Kenny, xoopsien bien connu, pour nous avoir signalé ce roadmap,
XOOPS Version 2.0
Image Manager
This will allow you to upload images for inclusion in news articles, forum posts, etc. This module will also help in organizing images through categorization and group permission features.
Avatar Manager
This will allow you to upload avatar images from which users can select in profile page, and view custom avatar images that have been uploaded by users.
Theme Set Manager
We have been working tremendously on the new theme structure utilizing the Smarty template system, and we will be changing the old Nuke theme concept to a more robust, scalable, and customizable theme management system, namely Theme Set Manager.
What we have been calling themes will be called skins which consist a subset of a theme set. A theme set consists of skin files (skin.html, stylesheet files, skin image files), and optionally module template files. Skin, image, template files for a theme set are all stored in database which are injected/compiled to cache directories whenever needed. Therefore there will be no database interaction when calling these files from the user side.
Theme Set Manager enables you to edit/preview/download/upload skin files and edit/preview/delete/download/upload/generate each of the template files. Also it will allow you to clone/delete a complete theme set, or download/upload theme set tarballs. In addition, image files within a theme set are managed in group as an image set and can be replaced/deleted/added online as well. Currently image files that are used in skins are managed like this, but we will be implementing this feature to image files in modules as well, so that images such as icons in the forums module can be switched via Theme Set Manager.
A theme set tarball should have a directory structure as shown below (the ones in red are required)
(cf. Graphique sur le site xoops)
Yes, and the old theme files will still work fine as before by placing them under the themes directory
Enhanced module installer and config genearator
The installer
will automatically add entries in the cofiguration table
based on the contents of xoops_version.php, which will be used to genearate
config option form dynamically. This will elimiate the need of creating a
cache folder/file within each module directory.
Enhanced blocks management
You can :
- select which page a block should be displayed on now
- cache block contents by Smarty with settable caching expirations
- edit module block contents via Theme Set Manager
XML-RPC for News module
XOOPS will support the following XML-RPC APIs
- All Blogger API methods
- All Metaweblog API methods
- MoveableType API
- XOOPS API
In RC4, only the News module has XML-RPC feature implemented. However, in the future release when we introduce the new sections module, you would be able to post not only news but downloads, links, reviews, and other type of items.
Fully redesigned core class structure
What we have been doing for the past several months is to separate data objects from its data resource access mechanisms in XOOPS. Until RC3, data objects and its data
resource accessor was too tightly coupled which prevented the use of other
data storage systems, such as LDAP, XML files, etc. By de-coupling the tight
integration, we can in the future switch to other data resources fairly
easily, which is in general just replacing the data accessor object classes.
The following classes have now been converted to the new structure
(cf. Graphique sur le site xoops)
All data object classses and data accessor object classes are derived from the XoopsObject abstract class and XoopsObjectManager class respectively. In addition, all data accessor object classes are called via the XoopsManagerFactory class, which further eliminates the need of calling the accessor classes directly.
- Other Notable Changes
- Native PHP session support
- Categorized preferences
- Detailed debugging system
- Enahcend look of the administration section
- RSS version 2 support
XOOPS Version 2.1
New Sections Module
The new Xoops sections module will be a fully template-enabled module that is meant to replace most of the modules that are currently used in RC3 including links, downloads, news, and sections modules. All these modules will be integrated as one module (super module), in which there will be a links section, downloads section, news section, columns section, etc. All these sections will be using the same interface for administration and thus will considerably easer to manage. All data in previous modules will be converted and transfered to this module without any problems.
As for the user interface, all sections within this module will have common features already built in, such as categorization, rating, uploading, commenting and xmlrpc features (planned for the final release). In addition, this module will be category centric. For example, when a user chooses a category called PHP, then all the items from each section that are categorized under PHP such as PHP related links, PHP related downloads, PHP related news, PHP related columns will be displayed within one page. Group permissions may be assigned to each category as well.
In the initial release, there will be links, downloads, news, columns, reviews, and possibly several more sections included in this module. Creating a section within this module will be easy. By just adding an entry to the sections table and creating a template with a template renderer subclass, we can provide you with a large variety of sections.
Dynamic fields feature by which admins can add any number of custom fields as they like. The field(s) can take form of either a text input field, textarea, selection box, checkbox, radio buttons, url, email, etc. The value of the field can then be displayed by adding a tag that is associated with that field.
Language Manager
Language manager will allow you to upload/download language tarballs, edit each language file online from your browser, similar to Theme Manger.
