My name is Alfonso Orozco, citizen of Mexico, and programmer with 19 years of expertise. I be aware of the existence of xomol when the creator send my a death threat for a Stupidity. he forgot renew a nahual.net domain and i purchase the domain in february because i have the nahual.org, then him, David Guttmann, begin to make death threaths to me.

I am a program years, then i think my points are valid, and xomol, as the creator , xomol look as a very unprofeesional, unpolish and BAD design, with death harrassments or without them.

Because space i only put the 20 FIRST problems of xomol 1.5.2.2, but i get a 400 points and growing

1: Some strange files, ten rows of "code comments" saying hisname, and saying really

2: Snapshot not updated.
3: Many duplicated files, of graphics Mainly. Some too much, 13 EACH.
4: Bad grramar, no english, nospanish, mexican.php es un ejemplo de archivo. Whatwas that ?
5: 2 *.sql for each module.
6: The main El sql principal use 79 tables and no foreign keys??? xomol_base.sql
7 :login.php

echo '';
echo '';

what ??

8: He say in some partes is the only author, but he use a external routine made for others.

9: In security he shave very bad reviews in hundreds ofsites. Now he say he fixed with the help of a tv character ?

// but thanks to Valente Campillo we got a solution that works perfectly.

10:
install index.php
... thre times this line ☻
$msg_screen .= '.';

11: The module for active users is 260 KB, and cane be done with 10 lines of code.
12: The "banners" module use more than 10 tables, and more than 6 MB (as example, drupal in the whole are 1 MB aprox)

13 : When i upload the code to cpanel, i receive an alert for too much *.php sending email, when the logic and teh control say is better use a library
14 : the main *.sql is 846 KB, then many users cant run as admin. I put the whole
846 in many chunks, of 4 screen longs
15 : in that files Create tables go mixed with the inserts. No very normal method of doit.
16 Xomol.net "los profesionales del internet" (lol) was called in the database as a "mandatory insert" and no of the test data.
17: banners_campain_offers allow the use of duplicates. Putting chunks of sql is normal put for error.
18 CREATE TABLE content_user_rights2users (
user_id int(10) NOT NULL,
user_rights_id int(10) NOT NULL,
`value` int(1) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (user_id,user_rights_id),
KEY `value` (`value`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

Then Myisam = MYSQL. If the code only "works" with Mysql, then WHY he use a OTHER PEOPLE routine to connect to MANY databases Motors?

19 The Xomol download dont include changelog, control versios, to do, etc.

20. When the Xomol install finish , have too many records and no logic:

749 banners_campain_offers (include the wrong ones)
165 banners_positions_onsite
426 banners_user_rights2groups
239 geo_countries
3840 geo_states 233.8 KB
486 user_rights2groups
1998 styles 195.7 kb

The rare thing is the second file *.sql with test data, cause errors, then you need do by hand:

delete from contactus_departments
delete from contactus_departments_desc

And then run the insert of test data

by the way, is a strange design use a description for conctacts.
