Information and feedback regarding Xtreme 3!

Last edited by killigan on Mon Feb 22, 2010 11:53 pm; edited 1 time in total

We are going to be working on another release for Xtreme and would like to get some feedback and suggestions. I will list our idea's and if you don't mind, please list what you like, don't like about xtreme 2.0. Some things may come out and some things will be going in.

New downloads module.

Updated shoutbox.

XHTML Compliant.

CSS 2.1 Compliant.

PHP 5.3 support (will run on php 5.3).

Possilble NEW shoutbox.

Jquery Form Validation Module.

New Capcha system (for those that believe in them).

Updated jquery scrolling code (to replace invalid outdated tags)

New advanced cache system

Theme installer and theme backup ability. (able to install themes from .zip files, only god admins can download theme backups).

Recoded and updated tutorials module.

New "content" module.

CKeditor and TinyMCE wysiwyg editors. (these are much more advanced than the fckeditor)

New staff module.

New Site Credits Module.

Updated admin disply which will have a news feed from the xtreme site and feeds for available modules and themes (that are verified to be safe and working only). This admin display will have the ability to allow the user to switch to the classic admin panel if they would prefer that instead.

1 login for users admins. This means the admin table will be removed, the users will have different levels of admin rights set by the 1st god admin. Admins will not have to login 2 different places anymore. Simply, if your an admin and you login to your user account then you are also logged into the admin with respect to your admin level of course.

AUC 1.6 update which is a lot nicer and has a lot more features. Such as you can add smilies or other things to usernames and all that fancy stuff.

Not everything is set in stone. We would like some feed back from everyone (except bayler) with any idea's you may have. J/K!

NOTE: Please don't ask for a release date, beta testing or anything of the sort at time. We will announce beta testing and release dates when we are ready to do so. We are not going to rush this release for any reason.

Thank you for your support,
Killigan

Is getting PHP 5.3 support into V1 and/or V2 not an option??

I hope the theme changes wont be much from v2 to v3..
we've just gotten rolling converting themes.. Ive probably done about 50 - 60 so far Â :roll:

do we have an assembla for this project yet???

We are doing our best to keep the themes the way they are. There will be minor changes but nothing like when you upgrade from xtreme 2.0.7 to 2.0.

We are not going to get 2.0 working on php 5.3. there is just to much to change for us to do both versions, it would be an upgrade in itself which is why we decided to just move forward with other enhancements as well.

Theme changes depends on the mods in the forums, so far theres only a couple of changes for a couple of mods and the rest of the changes are all XHTML compliant based. When Xtreme v3 gets released it will be XHTML compliant so any theme not XHTML compliant cannot be held against us as theres alot of themes out there and not alot of people that do conversions

Nobody will have to make their themes css or xhtml compliant. However, if the cms is compliant then you would think that theme developers would want to make their themes compliant so users don't have issues with their members and cross browser headaches. Its really in everyone's best interest even though I hate the idea that some group decided to dictate what they thought "is compliant". But, xhtml and css 2.1 work on most major browsers the same. Not everything, but that is because Microsoft has to be different...

May i ask why you hate MySQL queries? Without MySQL nuke wouldn't function the way it does due the mass size of it. Heres my keys points towards yours...

Bayler, what you don't know is that our jquery library is 1 file not 50, our scrolling marquee's using jquery also use 1 library and the functions are written so its already all called. cosmetics are needed for those that want them and don't have to be used by those that don't. Css is used throughout the forums. I personally don't like compliance either since it is "CRAP", however, it is needed. PHP 5.3 upgrades doesn't mean we are stupid enough to upgrade our functions to php 5.3 when php 6 is on the way. That would be an absolute waste of time to upgrade so we can upgrade. I said it will run on php 5.3 servers and will run without errors all over the place and users will not have to do what other cms developers like "drupal" did and suggest users turn off php errors in the php.ini file. The shoutbox is already here but it uses a very outdated ajax script and conflicts with everything, so it will be upgraded to work better and in fact, LESS CRAP TO MAKE IT WORK... The new shoutbox is not the same as teh current shoutbox. It is "new" and much better which is still in development but a much needed improvement for users that want a shoutbox on their sites. the tutorials mod is also here and in need of a make over. the staff mod in the forums is complete and total crap. The new one works better and has more information for a site that needs to display "real" staff members. The text editors are for the news and things like that, not the forums. They are simply better than what is available now. The cache system in evo is nice but can be a lot faster so if it can help the site load faster why wouldn't we replace it with something better and faster? Its not going to affect your coding although you could cache parts of your mods and not other parts of it, you can do a lot more and have different levels of cache instead of just file or sql.

P.S cupcake, AJAX can speed up your site if used correctly.

Re-read my reply, i added to it

phpBB3 is actually another secret project im working on, so far i have the admin panel and forum working and i hope to finish it this year and get an xtreme version done

thats fine.. I was not really requesting them.. just mentioning that they were in Platinum.. so those guys must have thought they were worth while .. Â just thinking out loud Â Smile

the buddy list, kinda sounds like a neat idea... but I dont know the exact features of it

it will however be interesting to hear your opinion of these mods

both are available, however, the thread kicker is not really a mod I like very much. the buddy list is something that we can pre-edit the files for easy install but not many people have ever shown much interest in it. They are mods that will add more crap to the server unless we can find a way to make them simple, maybe make our own versions of those mods.

PHPBB3 will not be in Xtreme 3 or 4 and probably not 5. I don't understand the hype behind phpbb3 other than the coding is different. I have used it, don't like it and it isn't as advanced as phpbb-nuke (which is what we are using). maybe the simple thing would be to... damn i had an idea, better think on it before I say anymore lol...
