PHPFusion Network

PHPFusion and Social Networks
The PHPFusion Community is constantly growing and we are experimenting with different social networks on how to market PHPFusion as THE best Open Source CMS. Our mission is to make as many people aware of this great, and free, software and can reach out further by using different popular social networks. We would like everybody to join us on FaceBook, the official PHPFusion FaceBook group and follow us on Twitter. We also encourage people to share the links to other and we will show the rest of the world how many active PHPFusion users there are out there and convince more people to join in. Happy sharing!

Our IRC Channel and Support
I just wanted to make a quick news item to ask people not to just join ask a question and after not more than a minute has passed with no response leave. It doesnt give us a chance to help you. Instead, ask your question as soon as you get in and stay as long as you can. I myself check the IRC Channel quite often on a daily basis. A few others do as well, but we're not just hovering over the channel waiting for people to show up and ask us questions. We have other things to do as well. So if you dont get a response right away, just be patient and wait. We will answer your questions to the best of our abilities, but you have to be fair and give us the time to even see your question. Update: Profanity of any type will not be tolerated by this irc moderator. If you use foul language in the channel, I'll make certain you don't utilize it again. Thanks guys.

DNS issues for Europe and North America
There have been reports of users from Europe not being able to access the PHPFusion Network sites located in the US. With further investigation it seems some of the main DNS servers in Europe have not properly updated the DNS information for the server. To correct this try using OpenDNS.com's free and public DNS servers. Or you could simply call your ISP and have them update their DNS records. DNS issues reports are starting to come in from North America. We are researching this issue further and have opened a ticket with our datacenter as there doesnt seem to be any issues on our end. Please stand by. Update: It appears that within 24 to 48 hours most issues from city's that were affected have now been resolved. This is probably due to ISP dns CACHE servers. If the issues do not automatically resolve themselves within the next 48 hours please click readmore for further instructions. Cheers!

PHP Fusion Network returns
After a Christmas without service, the PHP Fusion Network has returned to service after being hacked by a Lithuanian member of php-fusion.lt. Those of you who visited any of the UK sites on Christmas Day will have seen a message demanding a number of things. We would like to emphasise that we have nothing against Lithuania or its people, but we cannot endorse a support team that acts in such a manner which threatens to damage the reputation of PHPFusion. Regarding the nature of the attack, I would like to stress that this latest attack had nothing to do with any exploit in PHPFusion but a server issue which Sheldon has now rectified. We remain fully committed to providing the best possible service and CMS to our incredibly supportive community. Happy New Year!

Information on the Theme Contest
While Sheldon is responsible for the general outline, guidelines, prizes and told you about them in his post, I will now tell you about how the themes are rated and give you some tips for your themes. The contest is closely linked to the imminent release of PHPFusion 7. Consequently, a very important criterion for the rating of your theme submissions will be how you used the new features of PHPFusion 7. Custom head tags, output handling, the jQuery javascript toolkit and other new features provide new possibilities to influence the layout of your themes. Do not overuse them though, overuse could what we call sensory overload and take away from the main purpose of a site. Your theme(s) should not become a pure tech demo, but you should use the new possibilities you have in a reasonable and clever way to enhance the content and features of a site. Themes provide the visual interface of PHPFusion sites. Thus the look you create with images and code will also influence the rating of your theme submission. Again, be careful not to add to many images or effects and keep an eye on load times and usability. The next criterion is the code quality of the theme. The theme PHP code and JS code should be readable and should not produce any errors, you should avoid redundant CSS and try to stick to the W3C HTML and CSS specifications (note: Core 7 is XHTML compliant and therefore to be fully compliant your theme will need to follow the same DTD, use the W3C validation utilities at http://www.w3c.org ). The last rating criterion is called creativity and sums up the other criteria. You will get a high rating here for new or interesting approaches of theming the site elements or interesting new features added to the theme. Remember that div layouts are now possible in the Core 7 theming structure. Read more for more details on the weighting of the criteria, the community vote and the calculation of the final rating. Note: Final Submission Date will be 1 month from today's posting date (end date: July 28th). Cheers.

PHP Fusion Theme Contest Announcement
CONTEST TIME! The crew here at PHP Fusion have put together a nice little treat for its entire GLOBAL community! We have decided to launch a theme design contest. We will offer 3 prizes for the top 3 themes. The grand prize will be a free hosting package from Netriox/Forge Hosting(the company that runs the Fusion Servers) and the theme being included into the final PHP Fusion package. The final details, submission guidelines and how the themes will be judged will be posted by Matonor sometime within the next 48 hours or so. A pdf outlining the basic details is available here On that note I would also like to reinforce a few license details. PHP Fusion has been released under the AGPL license. This means that the Copyright Footer and File Headers are NOT to be removed without specific written permission. At this time we do not have a procedure or policy on copyright removal. As well, when converting or updating PHP Fusion v6 themes, you need to make sure the the copyright notice properly displays and it should look exactly like the one on this site. Click readmore for an example of the Copyright Footer PS: A new tool to report bugs for PHP Fusion Core 7 RC versions will be up shortly.

Major Server Updates Completed
During the course of the day I will be doing MAJOR server updates, upgrading from Apache 1x, PHP 4x and MySQL 4 to Apache 2.2x, PHP 5x and MySQL 5x. This will be a long progression and users may notice some intermittent downtime while the updates are in progress. I thank you for your attention and patience with this matter and I hope to have the server running as optimally as it has for the past year and a half. Update: **wipes brow** phew... Well after a long grueling experience upgrading to Apache 2.2x, PHP 5.2x, and MySQL 5x I think were out of the dark here. ... After finalizing the last system updates for the night (kernel upgrade, etc) and rebooting the system for all the new updates to take effect it seems as if we are golden. Any system oddities should be reported to digitanium, pmm or primarily myself. I have the hopes that the system will be able to perform for another year or so with no problems! Viva linux and the Open Source community!

Dutch support site back online
It were a frustrating 10 days but we have finally been able to get the Dutch support site back online after a major server crash at the provider. (Not Netriox) It seems everything is running smoothly again except for the fact that we lost the data for the last ten days before the crash. If that is the only problem, together with the dent in our egos, then we count ourselves lucky. muscapaul & dokter19
