Xortify - Fortify your XOOPS.
Community Release by Chronolabs co-op.
Xortify is a network security drone that uses Web 2.0 techniques to link between your XOOPS installs and other via a Server Cloud. This will prevent security intrusions to your xoops with accurate deceptive notation of the intruder and prevent any farmed attacks. It is an accessory and required Protector to be installed an running to be part of the hookup. Otherwise it will run without protector just make sure you deselect protector as a provider.
It will display a template if you are banned and is an accessory to protector or any other firewall technology. The site itself is driven from http://xortify.chronolabs.coop and mirrored at http://www.xortify.com .. Cloud computing is web 2.0/3.0 stuff it used a SOAP or JSON, XML or Serialisation to exchange on the API backend to work, this will eventually be included in xoops as a support class.
A cloud computing process is one which staggers multiple networks sometime and mainly unknown to the webmaster into a network or cloud of data. In this example it is IP and Netaddy names to control access lists.
This will prevent predators from exposing your network to lag and other attacks from link farming, often this means many xoops are attacked in occasions which is all the time caught by protector, this way if an attack is in process across a large spectrum of links, your site will down itself to your sourced attack even if it is discovered on a completely unaffiliated site that is link farmed to yours or on a XOOPS User list.
Xortify is a cloud solution to protectors Bad IPs, if someone attempts to hack your site and becomes a bad IP it will then send the IP to the Ban Cloud on Xortify.com and its paired cloud Xortify.chronolabs.coop. It will also poll the server to make sure it has the latest ban list so your website will be aware of malusers before they attack through farming IP from services like Google or bing.
Xortify is finally bug free, there was a lasting reminder of how it can be quiet frustrating developing software, especially cloud solutions with so many variables to hone to make sure the system is working, you should enjoy this version and any future releases for XOOPS 2.7, but as it stands I can't find anymore situations, warnings, notices or WSOD with this copy.

Start with the new Imprint and total reconstruction of the TXMod Xoops modules upgraded to xoops of GUI 2.5. The news are mostly in the reconstruction of the administrative side, a remake of the source code with the class moduleadmin, which has now supplanted the Admin class that was in all modules. Frameworks included in this class, we can draw on it without having to make too much modules.
The innovations that have been included, in addition to the administrative side of this form are fields for text in administration and improved with a new graphical user side via templates and css style.
And 'possible to customize it easily, not having too many files to edit, adapt it freely at any site.

After XOOPS was selected over several other competing CMS solutions to power the new Website of the Libyan Ministry of Defense, another high profile institution in Libya has selected XOOPS - this time the Libyan High National Elections Commission!

As in the previous case, they felt that XOOPS provides the best combination of features, security, and support. They also liked the modular approach of XOOPS, and the ease of adding new functionality by installing additional modules. And they felt that with the continues development of new XOOPS versions, there is a guarantee that XOOPS will be around for a long time.
As in previous case, it is thanks to the hard work of Mowaffaq and his team from www.arabxoops.com, who were able to successfully demonstrate the value of XOOPS, and address all the questions from the technical stuff of the High National Elections Commission.
We are very proud that XOOPS has been selected by national, state, and local governments around the world, like State of Parana in Brazil (http://www.cidadao.pr.gov.br/) or Tainan County in Taiwan.
Viva XOOPS! 
Welcome to the April 2012 issue of WOX (World of XOOPS) Newsletter (see here previous versions)
It's been a while since the last issue, almost a year, but things have been hectic around here, we had some turbulent times that kept us busy, and there are only 24 hours in a day
But we hope that we'll be able to get back to our regular monthly cycle.
The most important thing is that XOOPS development is going forward, with XOOPS 2.5.5 Final released this week. This is the best XOOPS version ever, with several bugs being fixed.
In parallel to working on XOOPS 2.5.5, the Core Team has also worked very hard on cleaning up and refactoring of the Core as the foundation for XOOPS 2.6.0, and you'll see the results soon. Just to give you an idea about the magnitude of the work that especially Trabis did, is the fact that the current XOOPS 2.6.0 Core, which is still in the pre-Alpha stage, already runs on PHP 5.4 with NO SINGLE error in E_STRICT mode. If you want to check out the source code, you can download it from our SourceForge SVN, but be aware - this is a "pre-Alpha" code and a lot of wrong things can happen, and a lot of things are missing.
The current focus is on improving quality and streamlining the source code so we have a solid foundation for the future. There was just too much PHP4 and old XOOPS related code that got accumulated over time, and we needed to get rid of all this "baggage"
So XOOPS 2.6.0 will be our focus for the upcoming months, as well as finalizing our Basic Module Pack, with all the module sharing the same "look & feel"
The key to make all of this happen, is to have enough developers and contributors. So we would like to encourage everybody to ask themselves a question:
What can I do for XOOPS?
What could I contribute to XOOPS?
We cannot expect that few people will do everything:
- develop Core
- develop Modules
- develop themes
- develop documentation
- provide support
- translate into local languages
By putting too much pressure on them by expecting too much, it will only cause their "burnout" and quitting XOOPS
We need to create more teamwork and more community spirit by getting more people actively contributing to XOOPS.
Let's make XOOPS a true "Community Project"! 
Recent Highlights:
- XOOPS Innovation Award - for people who create something very unique and innovative for XOOPS. This time the award goes to Andrey Popov (andrey3761) from the Russia for his work on Chat module
- XOOPSer of the Month Award: is given to XOOPS members who show extraordinary dedication to XOOPS, and go the extra mile for XOOPS. This month, it goes to Gregory Jomi (sabahan) from Malaysia, for his help on testing and debugging XOOPS 2.5.4!


Congratulations to all of our Winners. Starting this year, all Winners will receive a free book of their choice from O'Reilly. Also a free copy of PHP Storm from JetBrain.
