Xith WEB Site - Joomla! powered

This is not as “design” that without, but It’s pretty useful I think.

Yep, although I don’t know exactly the way I’ll do that.

I can help with the redirections

I agree, mod_rewrite is very popular, this is what I setup with tikiwki currently on Xith.org. tikiwiki is different in that the unique ID is a nice english string which works nicely with mod_rewrite.

Yeah there is MySQL support on the xith.org server.

OK. Idealy we’d totally wipe tikiwiki on the change over (there are a LOT of .php files from tikiwiki which make it a bit confusing).

cool

Thanks :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Will.

Xith.org is down for maintenance. BlySky, check your email as I have sent you all the details you need to upload the site and MySQL databases.

Thanks again for this, it is a great contribution to the Xith3D community.

Cheers,

Will.

Wow ! Finally it’s up…

Have fun…

http://www.xith.org/

Hum… William when you deleted all the wiki-stuff I lost your “Scenegraph explanation (“under the hood”)” picture… Do you have a copy ? If yes, please upload it. (Check your PM).

Cool ;D

The text for that doc is here: http://odejava.org/RenderPipeline I’ll get you the image in two days (just about to go on holidays)

Cheers,

Will.

OK.

I had the text already, just the image was missing.

Huh, and there’s no more distant images now… (oh maybe still the OpenGL logo… but then if they change it it’ll also change on xith.org !)

File is here: http://www.xith.org/tutes/RenderPipeline/xith3d_renderer6.png SVG source http://www.xith.org/tutes/RenderPipeline/xith3d_renderer6.SVG

What do you mean by “distant images”?

Sorry I havn’t read my PM’s for months, my email is probably a bit more reliable :slight_smile: I’ll attend to them now.

Cheers,

Will.

I’m afraid it’s not possible. Joomla! is a CMS and it manage content automatically, I think I can’t change the name of the pages. What I can do, however, is making redirections from http://magicspark.org.free.fr/xith/Docs to the right page.

Would be odd if it wouldnt support clean urls. Its one of those default features a CMS must have.

After googling around a bit… (geez that joomla page is certainly annoying to navigate)… looks like you need some extra module for that (not in core… duh) and its called “404_sef”.

Added. Thanks Will.

Ah excuse me, in french you can say “image distante” or “image locale”, that’s why. It simply means that I insert images that comes from other sites, instead of uploading them. It’s cheaper in disk space, but not safe at all, cause they can be removed anytime.

By the way, oNyx, did you take a look at the HOWTOS : http://www.xith.org/docs/howtos/ ;D ;D (Just a manner to say I installed it). That’s much nicer that way.
BUT if the Joomla guys don’t include it by default, for sure they have a reason ! And one of them is : it’s Apache or IIS specific, you need special configuration in each case : very quick to do, but surely annoying for an automatic installer. Anyway I’m not PHP guy, and a pretty noob in web-thingies (out of CMSes).

ah that makes sense now

By the way, oNyx, did you take a look at the HOWTOS : http://www.xith.org/docs/howtos/ ;D ;D (Just a manner to say I installed it). That’s much nicer that way.

Nice one - that’s a lot better, thanks :slight_smile:

Will.

mmh why does that Login Form thingi only show at the Intro page?
And why does it say
Hi, 0
when I’m logged in? (no my user name is not 0, it’s arne :wink: )

with the mod_rewrite stuff, is it possible to remove the duplicate “pages” in http://www.xith.org/pages/pages/credits.html ?

Cheers,

Will.

It appears only on the Intro page because I told it to ^^ But I can make it appear on all pages if you want. OK that’s done.
And about your name is 0 that’s not my fault ^^ No I’m joking I don’t know why it appeared like that, but it’s now fixed. At least it tells me
Hi, admin
And that’s just right for me ^^ (And for my ego).

Yes it is. In fact it’s duplicated cause the structure is like that :

  • Category “Pages”
    |- Section “Pages”
    |- Article “Credits”
    Some articles are like that :
  • Category “Documentation”
    |- Section “HOWTOs”
    |- Article “How to load an MD2 file”
    But it’s now fixed. And your link is no longer valid ^^ It’s now http://www.xith.org/pages/credits.html

Oh, and BTW Arne, I made of you a “Publisher”. It means you can now write new articles and/or edit existing ones.

nice :slight_smile: - but If I go to HOWTOs I get this error message at the bottom of the page and the page doesn’t show correctly:

[quote]Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/xith/public_html/components/com_sef/sef_ext/com_content.php on line 11
[/quote]

That are kinds of problems we have since I have enabled the 404 SEF module, BUT they appear only once. (more precisely once after a configuration change, which I did recently).

looking good, thanks :slight_smile:

Cheers,
Will.

mmh I still get that error when showing the HOWTOs
but I don’t get it, if I’m not logged in.

strange…

also the font size of the line numbers in the source-code view is different then the font sizes of the code itself.
