PostNuke

I would like you to browser-test a page with a test version of this menu here.


I tried windows versions of IE6, opera6, netscape 6, mozilla0.9.9.

Please let me know whether you see the blue words in the DHTML DynamicMenu, the arrow to the right of the words 'symposium 2002' and whether it expands when you hover over 'symposium 2002'. Oh and when hovering the color should change.

Don't try to click the links, they are dislocated.

Please mail me a report with your operating system and browser name and version.

Cheers, Chrisy

Currently we have around 500 members and we're using egroups for our mailing list. Is there any similar mailing list with the same function like egroups for pn? Or, is it possible to grab the content without leaving our homepage? I don't want my visitors jump out to the yahoo pages. I'm a web designer not a coder.

Finally, bravo to all developers, they do a great job!

If you have got that knack for writing that most of us wish we had and you have got your ear to the virtual floor, you might just be the person we need to talk to about joining the PostNuke Press Corps.



If you are interested all you will need to do is shoot an email off to smacgregor@postnuke.com with your qualifications for the job and the Grape will be pounding on your inbox just as soon as he can.

Now, while I have been working on a few modules of my own, I have not had a chance to really look at some of the other excellent resources that have sprung up over the last two weeks. My one concern is that some rewrites will be mimicing most of the core modules and NOT converting over to the new mod design paradigm yet. (give it some time or give it some effort, it'll get there soon enough)

One of the most important reasons to make the transition is the list of possibilitites that hooks open up for your entire module. That's what they are there for. Let me give you a few ideas:

Imagine a PayPal module that worked via Hooks in such a way that a user can purchase a certain amount of content that they are allowed to fill, be it as articles, faq entries, a game module, whatever. Each module that has Hooks enabled would be able to have it's own PayPal listing in the admin panel where submission costs are maintained.

...or...

Every Hook enabled module would be able to communicate with a Site Traffic Tracking module that operated through the use of Hooks (80% complete, actually), allowing automatic statistical summation with a variety of potential display options

Just two ideas. Once you get your mind around it, it's easy to come up with ideas.

But it only works if everyone buys into it. Hooks are approved and part of the core now. If you are working on a module of your own, please take the extra time to conform to the new standard. As soon as the rest of the core modules catch up, the old paradigm will cease to be supported.

Look at it this way: if you knock it out now, you get to play with Hooks early.
