Complete Module / Snippet List

[erpe]

link should work now................ .

First: websitebaker-cms.de is NOT my site. I have nothing to do with it.
And: of course I know: a module-catalog must be in english.

What I like on websitebaker-cms.de is the categories:
Modules for:
Interaction (Guestbook, Shoutbox, Feedback...)
Listing (Bookmarks, Members, DirList...)
Image Galeries
Time and calendar
...

I have made DemoPages for Galleries, you find them here:
http://websitebaker.at/wb-templates/template-journey.html > "Unterseiten" -> "Bildergalerien"
(There is no direct way because of the cookie, you can see them with any template)

[erpe]

Hi Chio,

sorry for thinking that is your site.

I agree, that the categories are informative

Maybe we use it on the demo-site.

Do you want to help us?

As you see my english is quite poor.

I think: it does not make sense to start this big projekt away from websitebaker.org and them people. As far as I know also "doc" is planning something. And though I am not very skilled in php I have some knowhow yet from my template search (which is - by the way - based on "members")
I think it is better to focus energy and first look around and arrange a solution all together.
What is available allready?
What do we need?
Where are security risks?

And:
I have my modules and templates on my site (demos and download)
I think this is better, because I can change everytime some bugs or whatever people suggest. I dont like the way it is handled now in the forum, it looks like a permanent construction site. If one is not a "coder" he thinks it is all unfinished and complicated.

Otherwise I see there is a need for a overview-page, where all modules are listed with description. But I do NOT think, there is a need for installed modules; you can copy and paste the module output into a code-section and say: Thats it, that is what it does; without any security risk.

A different thing are the ImageGalleries, they mostly dont work when they are not installed.
If you like you can have the text from my site and someone translate it

[erpe]

In many ways you are quite right and  thanks for your offer.

But: I often read, that someone will do something and at the end of the day, nothing happens ( for good reasons I suppose).
So let us start with this project, get some experiences and see what happens. The way to show the modules and snippets maybe not the best possible, but it is a start.
And the authors can present their modules on their sites pretty in all possible ways, but the "normal user" has a first impression and "up-to-date links" to get the code and see, what is possible.
So when the project has gone further on, maybe the "official Bakers" will take it over (no problem from my side) or a changing group of users will push the project on a further level.
But this project needs the support from all authors of modules and code snippets to be up to date every time.
I hope we will reach them.

Hello Erpe,
I think the part of developers who has their own page with a description of their modules just need a link to their page (from yours).
So what you need to do is a overview (mit some pictures maybe) of their module(s) and a link to it's page on the developers page.

The another Modules needs just a link to a thread where it was published first.

Some developers has no time to "upgrade" the description (it's a matter of fact, that they are more interested into developing as into "explanations" - most of them).

So if this (your) project has to be something successfull, you will need a small group of people which allways has thei eyes open for modules updates and are willing to keep this project alive.

It's a really good Idea. Why not.
WB is worth some effort on project like this.

Best Regards,
Stefek

[erpe]

Maybe it is a good idea, to create a " I found a new modul update form" on this site, so one can send a information and project-group can update the according page. On the other hand the developers have to change only the download-link (if neccessary), so I hope, they will take that  little time to do that. There are only few changes neccessary to keep the page alive.............. ....That is important to achieve a up-to-date project site.

Thanks for your hint.

Oh yess..
this is a real good Idea.
So everybody can make a notice and also the developers have a place to let you know if they replaced their download links and so on.
Very good.

Yes, I agree.
If you have some nice people who want to contribute to this, it's doable.

I will look forward to it.

OK - that sounds good!

Some suggestions / what I would do:

Site Structure:
Type (Page, Admin, Snippet ...)
-> Purpose (Listing, Interaction, Gallery...)
---->Module
(-------> Demo)
(-------> SeeAlso)

"Demo" should be a subpage, because there is not always a demo, but there might be.

The Fields:
-Name
-Very short description (like on the addons-page at the moment)
-Technical things (Table; eg: creates valid code, uses tables... this can be checked automatic)
-Medium long description (Limited to e.g. 1000 chars)
-Download link
-See also (other modules that are similar or fit to this module)
This might be with the short descriptions.

Link section: authors page, chosen In-Use-pages

possible subpages:
Demo, long description + tipps, misc..

Finally there should be a moderated "guestbook"-section for users to ask or say something. But it should be tidy, so one must delete obsolet/old entries.

[Stefek]

I think a subcategory for the modules where cool for Gadgets (page Gadgets).

Here is a exaple what I mean with "gadget":
http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,10810.msg64146.html#msg64146

Another ones are:
chCounter
anynews
time display

Just an Idea.

So one day is gone but you can have a look on the project site.
Though there is no module to see yet, you can see the structure of this site.

One member of this project has decided to develop a special module for this site, so we have to show little patience. I am sure it will be quite a good one.

Please visit http://www.wbmod.bplaced.net
and use the contact form, to tell us your ideas.

Hello@all

some good news: site has started and the first addons (just tries) are shown: http://www.wbmod.bplaced.net
We also have a new template (thanks to chio) and an own module (thanks to aldus) to work on that site.

I would really appreciate help from a user coming from GB or USA to push our "German/English" text  to understandable text for all.
Please contact me via pm.

[Stefek]

Hurray,this looks damn good now baby.
The Template is much better than the official one (most of all the menu gives a good overview). Also the new background image.

I see that you mean it, Erpe 

@Chio great addition

Which module Aldus has contributet? Can't seem to find it at the first glance.

Best Regards,
Stefek

P.S. @Erpe. You got PM

[erpe]

The modul  aldus created is a "backend modul" for the quick data input, that can be used by registered authors.
All "red" and corresponding data on this page is the result of aldus' modul:
http://www.wbmod.bplaced.net/pages/modules/image-galleries/imageflow-hi-and-lb.php

Hope it helpd.

[Stefek]

Thank you Erpe.

Sounds good.

One hint:
1) Some Modules are "ported" into WB and have their original developer (like the Image Flow Module).
It would be great, if there was a note for this.

2) Furthermore it would be nice, if also the contributors where named as for exemple (ImageFlow Module) Vyni, Aldus, Ruebenwurzel...

Point one = if the modules are ported following all license ideas, than a link to the original developer will help to get more awarness from the developers (for WB). In this case we all win. 

Best Regards,
Stefek

[erpe]

From my point of view we will not show "all available" informations.
So in that case http://www.wbmod.bplaced.net/pages/modules/image-galleries/imageflow-hi-and-lb.php
all co-authors are listed in the opening thread of the wb-forum: http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,10460.msg61622.html#msg61622

The intention of this project is to collect and show examples of (all) existing and functioning  modules and snippets, not to inform about all license details or every author. I think, thats is the job of the publishing auhtor as Ruud has done it in the opening thread.

rgds

erpe

[Stefek]

I understand your point of view.
I also can imagine, that it's lot of work to collect all the data I named above.

But to be correct, the point "Author" should be than renamed into "Author / Ported to WB by" or something linke this just in order to prevent licence issues.

What do you think?

Best Regards,
Stefek

Seems to be dead?

[erpe]

No, we got some server-problems at the host-company,
look here:
http://www.websitebaker2.org/forum/index.php/topic,10987.msg65339.html#msg65339
But the site is still reachable now.

So I was wondering  if there is a module or something that will take a thumbnail and re-size it in a pop-up window with text and will close once the cursor is off of the thumbnail? That would be super fly

[erpe]

Hi @all

I mailed with tomhung this week reagrding this thread.
For tomhung has retired from WebsiteBaker project I worked on this list and you can see or download it here:

Hi erpe

A great service to users would be a kind of module reminder that keeps them up to date.
Users could subscribe to one or more modules they are interested in and get notification when new module versions are released or when new modules are registered at all.

Regards Christoph

[erpe]

Hi freeSbee

thanks for the hint.
Aldus is still working on it and released a first alpha yesterday.

rgds

erpe

[Ruud]

I would not do that.

When you offer that, you will, in a couple of years, end up with a huge database of (ex)users that subscribed.
Secondly, you will need to register everybody to get valid email addresses.

It is much better for users to subscribe to the linked Forum thread. Updates will always be announced in there also.
The forum has the user registration and notification already in place.

Ruud

[erpe]

Yes, I think Ruud is right.

Aldus took another way to get this work.
Maybe he can release it in the upcomming week.
