About the XOOPS Cube
XOOPS Cube is an Open Source Web Application Platform, empowering webmasters to create dynamic and content rich websites with ease. It is highly compatible with XOOPS, allowing users to implement and enjoy their favourite XOOPS modules (have to be at least 2.0.7 compliant), while using the new and improved Object Oriented Web Application Platform - XOOPS Cube.
Simple
XOOPS Cube is simple, inspired by Ogre, it's core is minimalistic and easily extandable.
Installation and Configuration
It is the ideal tool for developing small to large community websites, intranet portals, corporate websites, weblogs, or what ever you need - XOOPS Cube installation wizard will help you set up your site in no time. All you need is a server (e.g., Apache) that has PHP and a database (e.g. MySQL) installed.
Scalable
XOOPS Cube enables you to build your website with greater flexibility. It is not just a CMS, but a Web Application Platform. This allows you to design your own CMS to suit all your needs.
Secure
In XOOPS Cube functions of the XOOPS System Module have been placed into their own modules, such as account management and private messages. With XOOPS Cube you can chose or develop your own template engine (e.g. Smarty). The core of XOOPS Cube is simple and small, offering only the minimum of needed functionality. XOOPS and XOOPS Cube are therefore very different from each other.
What's the difference between XOOPS and XOOPS Cube?
XOOPS, like other Nuke derivatives such as PHP-Nuke, is labelled a Content Management System (CMS), which can be extended with modules. Users can add or change certain functions by selecting modules that meet their needs. Though it is less flexible if a user needs to customize authentication functions, web accessibility, and the like.
Roadmap Evolution
Unknown destination! As the avant-garde, we innovate, create and develop new ideas and explore new concepts.
Status Quo
Never the less, you are still able to use modules and themes made for XOOPS, as we have implemented a bridge wich allows the system to work with legacy classes. Step into the arena, embrace the new development, and join us with your current resources!
Simple, Secure, Scalable (3S) -Concept of the XOOPS Cube
- Making some functions in the core into modules and classes.
- Core without any unused functions hogging valuable resources.
- Avoiding overlaps of code in scripts.
- Token system (one time ticket) to secure the system.
- Clean and efficient code to secure and extend the system.
- Enhanced object oriented code and architecture.
