Request Elxis 4.x extensions

[datahell]

You may ask for extensions compatible to Elxis 4.x here.

If the extension is easy and fast to develop you have more chances to see it happen.
Please describe the extension's appearance and functionality in details, or if it is an implementation of a third party service, or a script you have seen in the internet or an other site, post the URL in here. The more details you provide the better result closer to your needs will have. Personally, I will develop any module, plugin, authentication method, search engine, etc, you ask for which I find useful to many users for free except those that needs a lot of work to be developed.

Waiting for your requests!

First request made by me. I hope it will be easy to implemented and useful for many people.

I need a content plugin (i think) which adds images into articles, with text description.

I need it to be able to add images with a decrtiption above or below the image (i will use it like mosimage we had in older elxis versions)
You can see an example here: http://www.daskalemata.gr/os/windows-help/change-startup-sound-windows7.html
Using the elxis 4 i am not able to insert images like this and have this result. Using gallery, all images are mixed and not shown like steps by steps.

Also, if its easy and you want to made it more advance i saw a nice way here

I like the way it looks.

Hi.
I would like to suggest the development of a job listings plugin.

Features proposed:

- Allow companies to post jobs with or without payment option.
- Allow job seekers to apply for jobs using application form.
- Companies can add jobs, categories and locations all of which need to be approved by admin before publishing.
- Custom company page with pagination that lists all jobs from that company with optional logo and company description that each company can add to their company page.
- Potential employees can post a comment on company or job page (with ability for admin to moderate)
- Categories and unlimited subcategories.
- Ability to add unlimited sub-locations.
- Location pages listing all jobs from specific location.
- Add category-location links to location pages so that while visitor is on a specific location page, he/she can sort by category jobs     posted only in that location.
- For each category, location or company page, ability to add filters for eg. full time, part time...
- Unique identifier for jobs other than the job title to be used somewhere in each job url.
- Seo urls for the plugin.
- Automatic unique meta generation for each job, category, company and location page.
- Jobs expiration date listed on job page.
- Skill-education level option on jobs posting page.
- Resume/cv upload for applicants or the ability to post or paste resume in a rich text editor.
- Jobs and applicants management pages for company back end where company can delete, edit or extend their jobs and view resumes/cv of each applicant.
- Optional e-mail confirmation with after posting a job.
- Rss for each category, location, company and search results page.
- Counts everywhere.
- Maintenance cron to delete old data.
- Sitemap integration.
- Maps


There are currently not many usable options (even among paid software) that provide all these features.
Only two pieces of open source software that come close are jobberBase (jobberbase.com) and Open Classifieds (open-classifieds.com).
I tested dozens of plugins for Wordpress, Joomla and other cms (including classifieds plugin for older Elxis) but they have all got some missing features, or are lacking in support, development or security.

I developed a free Elxis plugin to handle weblinks.
The plugin was requested by Dimitris Kanatas here.

I add it here to test it. It will be checked thoroughly and released officially tomorrow. Also details for it will be provided tomorrow.

[datahell]

I removed the plugin from here as it was officially published.

Description (taken from EDC)
Weblink plugin is similar to the Download plugin but shows web links with hits counter instead of downloadable files. You can easily integrate plugin Weblink in your Elxis articles and display a single link or a group of links. The grouping of similar links is done by assigning an optional category to them. This method of displaying weblinks is better in case you want to display multiple weblinks on the same page as you need to insert the integration code in the article just once. In case you assign more links in the future to that category you wont have to edit the article and the links will be automatically updated!

Weblink supports access control over web links (who is allowed to access each link), hits counter, optional description for each link, option to open links in new window or in the same window, links ordering in case of displaying a category of links and protection against wrong fake clicks (requires javascript).

Download the Weblink plugin from EDC

... and, of course, the Turkish translation file for the Weblink plugin.

Hi,

Please, I need a simple content plugin to insert an image. For example, I'll insert {nameplugin}path_to_the_image{/nameplugin} to the Microsoft Word big file. Then, using the "Paste from Word" CKEditor button, in this way we dont' need to insert an image one by one from Elxis. Previously, we'll upload all the images with filezilla FTP.

Note that this plugin it's very useful because we have hundreds of images, articles and MS Word files.

If it's possible, sometimes we need to put two images by side.

It is possible? Can you help me?

[Updated] Oh, I can see that my request and michalis1984 are very similars. Perhaps could be interesing make a content plugin that the user can choose to insert an image or two by side, and optionally can insert text description.

thanks a lot

There is the gallery plugin which is ideal to add many images at once. Isn't this plugin good for you?

{gallery}relative/path/to/images/folder/{/gallery}

[maple]

Hi datahell,

sorry, gallery don't fix the problem. I need to choose only an individual and concrete image each time, and sometime two of them by side. I don't need to trigger some images from a folder. And I can't make a folder for each individual image. It's not operative.

You can be sure that this content plugin my father and I we'll save a lot of time. At least, only a very simple plugin for inserting an image.

Thanks a lot.

[michalis1984]

@maple Did you tried to insert photo using CKEditor?

[maple]

@michalis1984 thanks for your response. Yes, I know this button. But as I said before:

I need to insert a lot of {nameplugin}path_to_the_image{/nameplugin} to hundreds of Microsoft's Word big files that I'm already have. Then, I'll use the "Paste from Word" CKEditor button. In in this way we don't need to insert an image one by one from Elxis using the button that you show me from the CKEditor. Previously, we'll upload all the images with filezilla FTP to the especific folders.


Thanks a lot.
