Stop ‘Osclass Project’ dying

[WEBmods]

@Resta, we we will wait if Osclass will give us more details.
If I actually start a Market, it won't be like Osclass one in terms of paying and payouts. All buyers would add a Paypal button and handle the transactions. The Market would just be a list of all products...

The idea about paid plugins is great, but many developers are not active anymore and won't reply. What do others think?

Regards.

I guess, a site similar to what Wordpress had structured would be a simple solution without much of a hassle. Please have a look at the following:

https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
https://wordpress.org/themes/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/

This way users can be directed straight to developers' sites to download free/paid themes and plugins.


Regards

Yes, something like that. I already have free plugins and themes hosted so I can just put links to them...

@Resta asked what do I need from all you...

Depending on the site visits, I would maybe need a better hosting than my VPS (which hosts one site currently). Maybe some of you people has a hosting company?
I can pay for the domain (let's see what will happen with osclass domains) - we can pick one together.
Development - I am looking at a simple Osclass site - just adding some more fields at registration and ad post.
Moderators - this is where a lot of people can contribute. I give you a moderator account (I guess admin too) so you check for spam etc. when you have time.

Regards.

Sorry for my English.
Anyone can get sick, abyss, die.
Therefore, we need a team, only in this case we can count on the fact that the project will not die.

I see some interest here from a few developers, but not from people who actually uses Osclass for a production website.

It's a site for Osclass. I want it to be in Osclass. It makes sense.

Free plugins on themes are on Github and we can just link them.

Sure but look at this topic, 10 people participate, most of them developers.

Where are the real users of Osclass ? Osclass sent thousands of emails about Market to shut down, still where are those people who got it ?

I talked to a few guys that I work for, only one of them posted in this topic, others are waiting to see what will Osclass say about forums.

What is that fixation about the forums ? The real problem is if Osclass script will be able to survive the next 1-2 years.

The real problem are security updates, things that MUST change and/or be updated, not the forums.

There are SO MANY things wrong in that script, that probably when introduced were maistream and ok. Now they are outdated.

Like Country/City/State selection. Everybody uses now Postal Codes.

Like the ability to post ONE ad to several (or all) country/cities/States.

Like a proper 2019 html post editor. Like in Wordpress.

I could make a list with all that ..... This is why i talk about real webmasters participating here.

github not good idea.
in our office it is blocked by paloalto filtering system, it is company policy.
more over this fwall rules are applied in many companies, for some reason.
what I offer domain name and VPS server.

what is the size of all free plugins and themes - any idea?
thanks

GIT is a good idea, IF development will follow. Not for just storage/backup.

For the rest (forum etc etc), NOBODY will trust anyone overtalking that, if random people. NOBODY will invest time if "someone" makes just a forum.

Same for the script. NOBODY will trust to run a script on a production site. Right now Osclass is a team and a company, we know and trust.

Also i see here an other risk: it seems many people will create (or already have created) their own versions or forums and that means that a SPLIT will happen in many places. And that is NOT good for a project. ALL split attempts will not make it. They will die.

this is only talking.
then you need to offer something too.

I'm sorry, i thought this is what we do here, talk.

As for offers (and yours) apparently you have no idea what it would take to takeover THIS forum and HOST it. And maintain it. Your VPS offer, will die in a sec. Right now they are hosted at Amazon.

[WEBmods]

FORUMS ARE IMPORTANT because of all the solutions to many problems that are posted and because we talk about this. Here. Now.

We must wait for Osclass to say what will happen with forums and what will happen with their Github repo. If they give access to us developers, we can start maintaining and improving it. Otherwise we need to start a new one, because there are a lot of improved versions that are split in a bunch of repos.

All files I uploaded are only 70MB ( webmods-croatia/love-osclass 67.3 MB ).

The problem is that if you quit from this, you don't pay the domain, or something, all will be lost, while it will be kept on Github.
