Zikula Blog

We got a brand new feature at community.zikula.org - we included some Zikula measures from ohloh.net. A few weeks ago I started a small module for fetching data from their API.

There are two places of integration: data about the project itself and about the users. The first thing is simply the module's main function and prints out information about the project's activity. You can see how much is done every month and who is doing it. The page is linked at the developer block at the right side, but try it out here

To activate displaying some aspects of your Ohloh account within your community profile, you will have to edit it and fill out a new field for the email address used at ohloh. Once this is set, your profile should show up your kudo status as well as a list of the kudos. See for example the profile pages of myself. Another example is Philipp's profile which does also show the extDB plugin which lists up your extensions and distributions.

One minor drawback is that we can't guess the Zikula user account based on ohloh data at the moment. This might change somewhere in future though, when single signon arrives. Then all developers should have the same nickname on the community site and in the CoZi.

Hope you like that feature. I did not see many nice ohloh integrations yet, luckily we now have one
