Sven Seidel from XOOPS Germany started a XOOPS PR/Marketing campaign, and we would like to support them, and hope that other countries will follow.
While XOOPS's journey is not always without challenges, nevertheless, XOOPS remains one of the more popular CMS solutions around, often mentioned together with Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress, on various lists of best CMS.
So Sven posted following challenge:
Quote:
What can we do as XOOPS community to help XOOPS to move back into the focus of potentially interested users?
1) We need to actively promote XOOPS in Social media!
I did the start and set up a Facebook - fan page and a Twitter - Account.
Now it is important that you all now, if not done already, press the "Like" - button on Facebook, or follow our channel on Twitter.
Only then can your friends and fans be alerted and informed about XOOPS, and be supplied with continuous, interesting news. In time, through viral marketing, we'll achieve a noticeable increase in popularity of XOOPS!
2) We need to actively promote XOOPS on CMS-related blogs and Websites!
A few days ago I got an email from www.contenmanger.de. I was asked for an interview. There are many important CMS-related portals/Websites which would be glad to release XOOPS News. Now we just need to start supplying them with information.
3) Promote internally to our members and via email marketing
We have a large www.MyXoops.org community that needs to be re-activated to certain extent. It should be also possible to reach our target audiences through external advertising campaigns, such as an email campaign.
4) Translate XOOPS modules & Core releases, create documentation and design new themes
A CMS lives and dies with modules, hacks and themes. There are many professional XOOPS modules, which unfortunately are not known in Germany. We need to change that!
Leading the way for me personally, are modules from [Eduardo Cortes]:
http://code.google.com/p/bitcero-modules/downloads/list
Bleekk and Sinnemax already provide the community already with reliable and good themes. It would be obviously great if we could also win for XOOPS module developers of Alfred's caliber.
5) Help us!
If you have time and desire, you're more than welcome to join us in getting attentions of potential users for XOOPS! You don't have to be a theme designer, or PHP programmer. In principle, any help to make XOOPS more popular is welcome. We are looking for:
- Theme designer
- Module programmers
- Translator
- Tester for modules, core versions and themes
- promotion experts
- Documentation writers
- Moderators
- or whatever you want to do to help XOOPS become more popular
This should be just a general outline. Please use this thread to discuss further these issues. Interested parties should not hesitate to contact me via PM and be part of our motivated XOOPS Germany team.
Do you have other suggestions? Well, then just tell us, because XOOPS is powered by YOU!
Congratulations to XOOPS Germany for this initiative! Please start something similar on your local XOOPS Support sites!
The same is for this Website - please let us know if you would like to help and get involved!
Viva XOOPS!

This was a module I formed over a few days it is a remake of the busines example from eSensual Networks which is in the process of rebadging to iStreaming Networks. Webcams allows you to have multisessioned chat rooms with assistence of application software and the hardware data farm provided by iStreaming Networks. You can have free, group and private timed rooms with costage of individual basis. Complete with user pivoting and management of the userbase, this module takes full implementation of the iStreaming API and facilities.
Currently there is payment options with this module, it is freely distrubuted and you can get test accounts from the company providing the server bandwidth and hardware. We have developed this in conjunction with David from iStreaming which means he has also requested an xPayment option as well which we have included the plugin for xPayment which also comes with Adult billing Options as well.
iStreaming offer a managed backend service for websites that want to provide for their members a high quality broadcast style video chat. Free and pay per minute rooms are supported.
iStreaming service attaches to your existing website via a customizable video chat Player we provide. You can use Flash H264 video and Speex/MP3/HE-AAC audio or Windows Media video and audio.
All billing for your members is done on your website using your merchant account. Our secure gateway API allows you to update, create, and query member information in our database.

ADODB 0.24 - Advanced Database Performance Enhancement
ADODB is a PHP library available from sourceforge, this is not to be confused for the PHP Extension ADODB they are too seperate things. There is of course a major bottle neck in the current database library where this patch will improve performace upto 1000% with XOOPS 2.3, XOOPS 2.4 & XOOPS 2.5.
It has been awhile coming and we will have some benchmarking for you in the next day or two we are currently running the tests on our Blade Server with 16Gbs of Memory which has minimal load to get an accurate respository of exactly how ADO Db performs in the XOOPS Classes.
To install this simply download the files and replace them in the directory tree class folder.
