Which Components would to like to see being compatible with Elxis?

[eliasan]

This topic serves as an open question to all of you that you are using Elxis.

As you already know, components that have been developed for Mambo or Joomla!, can become compatible with Elxis after modifications.

We would like to ask about your priorities. Please post here components that you would like to be compatible with Elxis.

Then we could perform the modifications and release a version that is compatible with Elxis or ask the initial developer (if it is interested) to perform the modifications.

When you post a component, please also add a link to developer's web site.

Note: We talk only for modifications. NOT rebranding.

FacileForms, a GNU/GPL non commercial component that creates forms is already converted for Elxis and it is already in use. I don't want to reveal in public the Elxis websites that use it, but if you send me a PM, I will send you the links.

FacileForms has more capabilities than Phil A Form, but Phil A Form is more simple in use.

One very hot and interesting commercial component is "iJoomla", this one creates a magazine with many options concerning the layout of the site as long as the author's mini profiles etc.
It's cheap, it's clean, It's easy to use (after the initial installation wich is a little clumsy due to the ioncube environment).

However the only way to make this compatible is by contacting the developers and asking them if they want to...

But this component is a real beauty and it will help a lot of people to publish their magazines (because elxis will be used heavily for this role).

DOCMan for Elxis is available for download from Elxis Directory section, on www.elxis.org.
The bundle includes the main component, plus a search mamBot and four modules.

Hello,

I search for a forum component for elxis.

Hello,

I search for a forum component for elxis.

Or even better an SMF bridge.

[datahell]

There is allready an Elxis-SMF bridge available but it is a commercial product. Elxis bridge system requires that you have component Bridge installed (free with the first bridge you purchase). Component Bridge allows you  to connect Elxis CMS easily with any bridged application.

Hello,

Why commercial?

There is allready an Elxis-SMF bridge available but it is a commercial product. Elxis bridge system requires that you have component Bridge installed (free with the first bridge you purchase). Component Bridge allows you  to connect Elxis CMS easily with any bridged application.

For two reasons:
1. We have to eat. We continiously give money for Elxis project dont you think that we have the right to make something out of it?

2. We think that we have a great Bridge system available that there is similar to no other equivalent in the market. It is also entirely based on a technology that we have created from scratch.


Note: There will also be Bridges available for free (ie Elxis-Athinorama bridge). It is not an entirly commercial feature. Anyone can create a bridges for Elxis and use them. The same thing happens with components, modules etc. There are commercial and non commercial products. Component bridge is a commercial product but we give it for free with the first Bridge you purchase.

Till now there is Elxis-SMF bridge, Elxis-XCart bridge and Elxis-Athinorama (Athinorama is a Greek web site) bridge. We have not created many bridges till now because we try to give as many free software (components etc) as possible and to develop more Elxis itself. Information on how you can purchase Elxis commercial products will be available in a few weeks. Of cource anyone can create bridges, components etc and give them for free or sell it. Elxis team is responsible for the main CMS only but we also try to give you as many free extensions as we can. This can not be done for ever. We would like to see people from the community start creating extensions for Elxis. Especialy for SMF you can also use the Mambo's way to bridge Elxis and SMF although you must make some modifications to the existing bridge (component smf I think) in order to work under Elxis. We also speak with other companies that make software for Mambo or Joomla to also make Elxis compatible versions of their extensions. Elxis has been released 16 days ago. I think that we have done a great work in these 2 weeks. Give as time to create more things for Elxis, take Elxis on your hands and start creating extensions for it. Dont wait to take everything ready by us.

I am sorry if I am being plain-blind here but...
 I cannot find the SMF bridge in your e-shop.

Is there a link?

[eliasan]

Hi yiannos,
You are right.

At first we thought that we should give SMF bridge as a commercial component.

Then we thought that it wouldn't be too smart as the "competition" is offering free solutions for forums and especially for SMF that is Free (liberty) and Free (price).

So we decided to offer the SMF-bridge ( Tuesday 17:28  )  for free (price).

But SMF bridge is useless without the Bridge component. So we have decided to give it also for free.

If you have noticed a small confusion and back and forth steps, you are correct. Sooner or later, we will find our way!

The good thing is that we will give for free something that we had announced that it would be commercial. Imagine what would happen if it was the other way around!!!

Standing by for your release.
