I am very pleased today to announce the launch of ./SlashNews aka SlashNews at https://slashnews.earth

SlashNews is the clone of the historically popular tech news portal Slashdot.org theme / skin for the cms solution powered by Exponential 6.x and software combined from CHND/DiggClone projects under GNU GPLv2+ License.

This software combined is called simply 'Slash'. Slash is very simple yet scales to incredible demands and internal requirements. Slash is open source and soon to be published on GitHub.

Post a new story on slashNews.earth right now and enjoy the freedom of our self publishing and internet voting and link directory / news portal sharing website service to the public for the good of everyone online reading and using it.

About this software (Details behind the story)

This software is now several generations old now, this is the 3rd iteration of the original digg.one and diggClone projects which spawned the CHND/HND Projects before the creation of slash.

So .. I am excited to talk about DiggClone the inspiration for developing an eZ Publish based voting engine based on the existing ezinfocollection system.

That system is called Digg [Sigma] which is based on eZ Publish 6 but technically only for it's support for more modern PHP implementations and ease of use general purpose or generic web development framework and a cms, and cmf and so much more right out of the box.

eZ Publish choice here should not be taken lightly. Many previous efforts to re-implement digg like story voting systems have come and gone over the many years we are talking about here but few remain to provide a stable solution basis for others to use quickly in modern web applications. There was one that matured enough to become it's own interesting solution (i forget it's name offhand from general research searches) but I think it was built in drupal.

With an eZ Publish based solution the future is bright for it's continued growth and redistribution and general end user performance and reliability. We implement so that you don't have too. We write so that it will run virtually untouched for the foreseeable future indefinitely without help just electricity. We write once to solve problems from becoming problems.

SlashNews.earth aka ./SlashNews aka Slash (Engine) simply allows our DiggClone Project to grow faster by providing yet another reference implementation changes (modified only to suite non digg branding, not core functionality) to be integrated into the core build of DiggClone. Our next release work will focus on bringing a real home page layout (templates + css + extras) to clone.digg.one and the installable repository of website source code and the demo database sql data dump file.

Will you build a website based upon eZ Publish and 7x Slash, 7x Digg, Digg [Sigma], digg.one like SlashNews.earth or HackerNewsDelta.com Did to create their own unique social website portal platform in hours not weeks?

Cheers,

As I take a minute to remember where I came from. As an outsider looking inwards towards greater heights of personal achivements and programing success.

I remembering the eZ Publish Greatness that changed Lives for the Better with the simple lessons found in

"The eZ Song" (YouTube Video Of Song; Easy Listening Music; 'The Sharing Song' By Jack Johnson). Here are the Lyrics.

Hi friends,

i write today regarding the subject matter of this previous post (eZ Publish Project and Portal Development for ezpublish.one (now redirecting to exponential.earth)) regarding the need to continue to drive the development of key technologies and infrastructure deliverables within the Exponential.earth Website Building Platform Network.

Since writing here on blog.kracker.org and on the exponential blog (eZ Publish Needs A Package Server Updated For 2023) more publicly about the future needs still very real today I’m proud to document the progress so far.

News

All this happened in a very very short period of release window time. But has been being designed and implemented in my very mind's eye for decades while waiting for the right time. 

New websites 

  • support.exponential.earth - A way to browse the available extensions, use them, get support faster.
  • projects.exponential.earth - A restored functional extension development forge designed to provide users with tools to create their own application software plugins.

What is still needed

A built into the cms gui extension composer based package manager and app store. 

  • New features added to ezupdate / expupdate to allow for package management like composer require commands to install composer packages of extensions. Note already supports updating via composer update commands.
  • New features added to ezupdate / expupdate to allow for scalable secure database dumps. timestamped, versioned, handlers to support dynamic encryption for dumps. Also requires anonymous security content filter to exclude registered user’s passwords or emails or user names or other privacy concerns.
  • New features added to ezupdate / expupdate to allow for scalable secure compressed dumps of  database+timebased installation var directory hordes files are stored in a. timestamped, versioned, handlers to support dynamic encryption for dumps. 
  • New features added to ezupdate / expupdate to allow for scalable secure database content package dumps. timestamped, versioned, handlers to support dynamic encryption for dumps. Also requires anonymous security content filter to exclude registered user’s passwords or emails or user names or other privacy concerns.
  • New features added to ezupdate / expupdate to allow for scalable secure module view(s) to request and manage this information and creation process of dumps of a site as well as the anonymous user interface access view for agpl complete compliance through out its implementation.
  • New features added to ezupdate / expupdate to allow for scalable secure installation source code backup as software archive package dumps. timestamped, versioned, handlers to support dynamic encryption for dumps. Also requires anonymous security content filter to exclude private api keys and settings values per installed ini files detection or other privacy concerns.
  • New features added to ezupdate / expupdate to allow for scalable secure admin group only view to browse packages of ava extension, designs, operators, workflows, and more via this gui app  store.

More ideas as time permit.

Happy Hacking!
