| | Q/R : réaliser un site communautaire avec des compartiments réservés - Question générale : Il m'a été demandé de faire un site pour une grosse fédération qui s'occupe d'animaux domestiques au Royaume Uni. Voici en gros quels sont mes besoins. YACS peut-il y répondre ? » Page edited on June 4 In Gestion de contenu |
| | Que la 6.3 soit !
- http://www.fckeditor.net/, le fameux outil WYSIWYG a été intégré dans l'archive YACS. Chaque membre peut désormais le sélectionner ou bien conserver l'éditeur Textarea d'origine qui reste à disposition. Les codes YACS de même que les smileys sont toujours disponibles sous FCKEditor.
Cette nouvelle version évolue encore au niveau de l'aide directe à destination de l'utilisateur par l'intermédiaire d'un ajout de messages de confirmation et l'amélioration de la page qui permet l'identification. Des messages de confirmation sont en outre envoyés après enregistrement d'un membre. Par ailleurs, d'autres messages sont envoyés lors du changement de mot de passe, les adresses e-mail des membres peuvent être validées si les associés du serveur souhaitent qu'il en soit ainsi... Dans ce dernier cas les demandeurs sont d'abord considérés par YACS comme des souscripteurs. A la réception du message de confirmation ils doivent cliquer sur le lien qui leur est proposé afin de pouvoir devenir membres à part entière de la communauté du serveur. Ils doivent ainsi avoir fourni une adresse e-mail valide. Quant à la page d'identification elle est maintenant munie de nombre de raccourcis utiles.
YACS est dorénavant développé sous XAMPP, et donc validé sur PHP5 et sur MySQL5. Un très grand nombre d'améliorations et de corrections ont été apportées dans cette version. C'est avant tout grâce aux retours de tous les testeurs motivés que cette version a pu voir le jour. Un très grand merci aux membre de cette communauté de plus en plus impliquée et solide. Merci à tous ceux qui réalisent un serveur en YACS et maintiennent le contact afin de partager leurs expériences. » Page edited on Apr. 12 2006 In Machine à café |
| | YACS 6.3 has been released : FCKEditor, user support, PHP5, MySQL5 - http://www.fckeditor.net/, the famous WYSIWYG tool, has been integrated into the YACS archive, and every member can select to use it, or to stick to the legacy textarea panel. YACS codes and smileys are still available under FCKEditor, anyway.
This new version improves on user support, through confirmation messages and improvement of the login page. Confirmation messages are sent after registration for adequate storage of credentials. Additional messages are sent on password change. Also, members e-mail addresses may be validated if associates require to do so. In that case applicants are only subscribers. On reception of confirmation message they will have to click on the provided link to become actual members. The login page features a number of useful shortcuts.
YACS is now developed under XAMPP, based on PHP5 and MySQL5. A huge number of corrections and enhancements have been introduced, thanks to the feed-back of all of our motivated testers. Thanks to all of them. » Page edited on Apr. 8 2006 In Releases |
| | YACS 6.2 has been released, supports S5, Freemind, Matroska multimedia formats, and enhances web space management - YACS now integrates the famous http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/ from Eric Meyer, and lets you create interactive on-line presentations out of ordinary web pages.
YACS supports http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindmap and the related http://freemind.sourceforge.net/ open-source software. Not only can you post a map to a YACS server to share it throughout a community. You can also view it directly from within the browser window through the provided Freemind Java applet. This architecture allows for a rich graphical interface to any complex topic or web content.
YACS also supports the http://www.matroska.org/ format for video and audio files. Do you know that Matroska files may contain several streams, including video, audio, text sub-titles, and even front-end menus? Actually this specification allows for very sophisticated interface management similar to what is provided by DVD. Combine YACS and VLC to achieve a powerful video-on-demand system, that will let you change the sound track or sub-titles at any time during the streaming session.
YACS enables full-size play-back of http://www.macromedia.com/ files in the browser window. Use your usual tools to create interactive and attractive Flash objects. Or download Wink and create interactive tutorials for free. And benefit from the fact that most browsers have some Flash plugin readily available.
It is well-known that YACS has no group to manage permissions. But complex delegation schemes can be achieved anyway, by explicitly assign members to web spaces. A member assigned to a section becomes a managing editor of it, and is empowered to the point where he can do almost what he wants there. Editors can create, modify or delete sub-sections, create, publish, modify or delete articles and comments, etc. A section may have several editors to support collaborative work. Also, access to a section may be restricted to editors to make it a private web space.
Moreover, any member can create its own personal section (providing that this has been granted in configuration files), meaning that YACS may become a platform of choice for communities of bloggers, where each person has his own web space. This feature, combined with teasing capabilities of YACS, should help to make your communities grow faster than ever.
The configuration of sections has been streamlined to further ease the handling of sophisticated options supported by YACS. For example, changing the skin used throughout a section is now almost obvious... » Page edited on Feb. 27 2006 In Releases |
| | YACS 5.12 has been released: wikis, editors, threads, slideshows, performance, installation - Wikis have gained so much traction in the Internet arena during previous months, that it was almost impossible to not consider to implement wiki-like mechanisms sooner or later. With this release YACS allows for anonymous contributions to one or more sections, and this is a big change in the rights management scheme implemented previously.
This does not mean that your YACS site has to be entirely open to everybody. Actually, this new release also empowers editors in sections they are managing. This will allow you to extend your community to key contributors, while limiting the number of associates to a very minimum.
On popular demand threads of comments have been separated from main content, except in discussion boards of course. This way of proceeding, while departing from the common blogging approach, will allow for a better scalability. Also, a central place has been created to access most recent threads easily, whatever section they belong to.
Since very old releases YACS may add a web interface to a directory of files. Streaming of audio and video files has been introduced in a previous version. This release comes with a new nice feature, aiming to create automatic slideshows out of your shots and images.
A new cache strategy has been introduced for pages with a high number of components, such as the home page. Previously, every component was cached separately, and many SQL statements were necessary to retrieve them. Now the entire page is put in the cache once, and only one SQL statement is required on cache hit.
Also, a web form has been introduced to edit text files of any skin. This means that web designers can tune a new skin without any direct access to server's file system. Instead, they will derive a skin from an existing one, and then edit cascaded style sheets and templates remotely, from within their favorite web browser. » Page published on Dec. 23 2005 In Releases |
| | YACS 5.7 has been released: nested sections, custom home page, performance and more - YACS used to have a flat model of sections, and cascaded categories were used to classify everything, and to host web links. The version 5.7 offers a more simple approach of content management: nested sections host server content (articles, files, links, comments), and the role of categories is restricted to, well, categorization. You can now create folders of sections, to any depth. You also have more flexibility to aggregate RSS feeds directly in sections of your choice. Of course, the Content Assistant has been extended to help you take the most of nested sections.
The home page has been deeply re-engineered to allow for complete customization. Some ways to achieve the home page you are dreaming of:
- create a cover page of your own to introduce yourself, your server, etc.
- include a reduced version of the site map if you wish
- create articles to be used as gadget boxes
- configure some sections to list their content as gadget pages
- configure some categories to list related pages as gadget boxes
- to introduce recent articles, select one layout among the 8 available
- use hooks to invoke you rown PHP script at the beginning, in the middle, or at the end of the home page
- add optional elements, such as a Flash-based dynamic banner for recent articles
- edit a skin of your own to wrap everything
We have profiled SQL statements related to key scripts, including the home page, the browsing of a section and of an article. The net result is an optimised usage of cached information, a lighter stress of the database back-end and, more importantly, a faster and scalable YACS server.
