xNews 1.68 Final is out!!!!

and included a new xNews Importer 1.01 beta module to be installed separately.

xNews Importer module is a start to enable importing articles from old news module to xnews and clones and also to import to and from xNews clones.

After some cleaning up and testing it will also import from other xoops article management apps...

With due care it is now possible to have a clone called news as many requested.

*** Important *** Tryout on test server first....

Creating a temporary clone importing old news into it
removing/uninstall/delete old news module once all data is correctly imported and checked.
create a new news clone and import from temporary clone.

I am very happy to add a new premium theme to INSRAQ.me Shop: InsProjekt. As its name suggests, it is a theme designed for projects or products. But actually it may suit very different purposes.

The theme has a very clean and neat design. As I understand that many people prefer a simple theme rather than a theme with many many features. They like the theme to be just about "design" so that they can customize the functions as they like. It is hard to customize a very functional theme as conflicts will often be seen.

So InsProjekt is just about the design, there are only basic functions. The slideshow is not integrated with XOOPS block system. As such integration will cause some misunderstanding in blocks. But I promise the theme is easy to modify. I have put all the files that you will ever need to modify in tpl folder. Open the HTML files there and start customizing. You don't need to search the main files with lots of unrelated codes. And I've made detailed comments in the files.

To be consistent with our low price policy, the theme is only priced at $2. Actually I am interested in Paypal system: If I the price is so low that it cannot cover transaction fee, how does Paypal charge that?

Demo is available

And, I've updated 960 Grid System for XOOPS to ver 1.5. I've added tons of new features and fix lots of bugs. Please check out at Lab section.

Many people suggest that I set up a subscription club or something like that. They want to try all of the themes before deciding which one to use on production website. I also think it is a good idea. But I am afraid that I might be busy some time and could not release themes regularly. If you paid for an annual membership, you expect to get themes on a regular basis. I don't want to let you down so I will not set up the subscription. However, I would apply the low price policy: charging the price as low as possible (to cover my hosting bills), so that even if you buy all the themes, it is still very affordable.

And kindly review this website specially the design part and suggest ways to improve it...

Thanks again...

The design comes from one of my abandoned design concept. It is not the client that abandoned the design, I did. I don't like it, but other people might like this style so I spend a few hours making a theme out of the concept.

I integrate Superfish menu and slideshow into the theme, and they can be modified by editing tpl/ *.html.

You can do whatever you want to the theme, including resell and redistribution. It is also OK to use it to a commercial project. I don't really care. All files are licensed under GPL 2.0 except for the demo photos in slideshow.

Obituaries module is a free XOOPS module based on Birthday module (developed by Instant Zero) and changed by me with the precious helps of Mowaffak (arabxoops), and Trabis.
(to learn more about the module you can visit this link)

Now, again with the collaboration of Mowaffak, a new update is done for the module:

- Added option to order users list by name or date (Hervé/Mariane)
- Added edit link in obituary page (Mowaffaq)
- Added jQuery recent obituaries block (Mowaffaq)
- Display a default photo in case no photo attached in the obituary (Mowaffaq)

You can see the module working in this website
http://www.irassa.com/modules/obituaries/

and you can download the latest version 2.2 from here

The module is available in: English, Arabic, French, and Italian, and any other translation is most welcome

Many thanks for Mowaffak for this great update, also thanks for Trabis for previous helps, and sure a big thanks for Herve who's developed the Birthday module, on which the Obituaries is based.
