NukeCops - Yoohoo CMS

Here is my first attempt to create a stable CMS, which has all the features i need to create big community sites. FB from phpNuke.org made the Core of that CMS. Then Nukecops fixed it. I have now added the missing features and modules requested by the nuke community.

Download & Testsite @ www.yoohoo.lu

Here are some of the major changes/tweaks and addons i made...

(The core of Yoohoo CMS is based on BetaNC from nukecops.com and some files from phpNuke 7 Beta 2 from phpnuke.org)

1)There were to scripts to change your user info in phpnuke, one in the forum module the other one in the your-account module, i removed the one from your-account and redirected all links to this one (i choose to keep the script from forum because if you edit your account with this script you have a cool avatar mangement script, which can also allow users to upload their your own avatar)

2)There were also two scripts to show your profile, i removed the one from forum (i choose to keep the script in your-account because it's shows you the userinfo plus the users last stories he posted)

3)I have added a wysiwyg editor to the publish center to allow users to upload and insert images to articles and to layout the articles

4)A strong image gallery with random image block has been added, you just need to upload images the script does the galleries and thumbs, users can upload their own media like movies sound files or photos

5)A chat module with blocks has been integrated

6)A Calendar module with subcategories and cool blocks

7)A page numbers system for the nws section, and the topics & categories pages

8)several blocks have been added, like the top posters block for the forum, the lastseen users block...

9)I rewrote the associates module, so that it shows you the ten last articles instead of just a graphic

10)The topics module has been totally rewritten to be more usefull

11)Several news functions have been added to the news module, you have now an auto-translate article block and a bookmark article block in articles

12)Your account has been rewritten and some new features have been added

Why have a done another nuke clone, are there not enough clones out there?

Sure there are, but there is no one like mine ;-)

I'm in the php-nuke community for a while now (about two years), and followed FB's march to glory very closely. Then the day came where FB's started to go mad, and wanted to charge every user for using phpNuke (sounds familiar if you followed the SCO/Unix story over the last months). Then some light came up, this was nukeCops. They started a new CVS server for nuke (CVS is vital for strong community), and created some amazing addons like analyzer or googleTap. Then they also started their own nuke distribution BetaNC which i thought was a great idea, to speed up nuke developement. But over the last month i have added a lot of ideas to their list and reported some bugs, but nothing was done? Over the last month they distributed a betaNC that had parse errors in almost every file. I'm sad because betaNC was a big chance for all of us, but nothing seems to happen ... It's why i started to build Yoohoo CMS my own dream of what phpNuke should have been.

The Futur:

1) There are probably some fixes in this version that i will fix this month

2)I will integrate the points and groups management from phpNuke 7 as soon as it is realeased

3)I think betaNC is the best thing that happend to the community since the birth of nuke, so i will support their work by adding all the tweaks included in Yoohoo CMS to their ideas list, and i hope they gonna take some stuff and add it to betaNC

4)I will take a closer look at other CMS programs (slashdot clones, postnuke, nsn-nuke, ...) to find out which features could be integrated in our CMS
