The update to Faster is going fast. Yesterday, I made 3 new colors: grey, blue and purple, but I might add some more. The PSD’s of these are also going to be included in the updated package. I’ve also started to code the new colors, purple first, and had a working version of the purple layout (though very rough) but I’ve updated the stylesheet switcher and that has me on a changing header only atm [...]
Well, I expected a bit more, but hey everybody would. Let me get you up to date… Recently, I’ve released my first XOOPS premium theme, called Faster. I had moderate hopes for it, as it didn’t include special features – I’m still working on those, but they will be in Laguna, my next premium theme. If I will release it, that is. My theme, Faster, is for sale for € 3,99, which includes free support, [...]
Ever since the last few weeks, I’ve been working on something that I’ve called “Sugar”. It’s my first theme based on the blank theme by Kris, which is a fantastic framework to work with! Sugar is 100% XHTML 1.0 Transitional and uses some very modern techniques using CSS3 (such as: rgba shadow on the forum avatar, alpha transparency on hovering over images, rounded corners). This means that it won’t render as intended in older browsers [...]
I’ve moved this post into a more suitable post type. You can find it at http://www.vampiretrix.com/video/xoops-2-5-alpha-video-review.
Since some things didn’t really run quite good at my review (my test installation), I’m going to make a new review later today As promised earlier today, here’s my review for XOOPS 2.5 alpha 1, which seems to have some neat features Instantly after opening up my local XOOPS installation after I upgraded, is that there are a few new icons added (and some switched from place): If I’m correct, the newly added icons are [...]
Well, here is my promised review for XOOPS 2.5. One of things I’ve always found lacking in XOOPS, especially the last time, is AJAX. It simply is used barely, and that’s a shame. But thanks to the new build of XOOPS, 2.5, things are going to change, starting with the system module. And that’s what I’m going to review here. As I’m typing this paragraph, I’m still installing XAMPP, but I guess the install script [...]
Well, XOOPS 2.5 pre-alpha is out, so I’m going to install it and review it, so anyone can see how it’s like, even without installing it!
Well, you can all see that it snows on my blog, but how do you achieve the same thing in XOOPS? That was something I asked myself, and well… I made a quick guide how to do it (what follows below is a copy of what I’ve posted on the XOOPS website). This way doesn’t require any module or hack and gives a nice effect (similar effect can be seen on my blog www.vampiretrix.com – [...]
Well, I’m getting tired of this. Last month I mailed Installatron with the request of updating XOOPS to the newest version, something which hasn’t happened yet! This isn’t the first time though: last time I had to do it again, as Installatron provided a version of XOOPS from 2005. So I’m really pissed with this. I’ve gotten a reply though, saying that this is a major XOOPS release. That’s true… but we’re already at the [...]
Well, I think I’ve got the rights to say this… Until a few months ago, Installatron had a version of XOOPS which was years old. I mailed them on their ticket system, and they updated XOOPS to the then current version 2.3.3. Now, XOOPS 2.4 is out, since the 26th October, and it’s still not updated. So I sent them a ticket. Again. Why don’t they update it? I use XOOPS, and I’ve found Installatron [...]
