welcome to xoopsing..

As yet a comprehensive module list is not compliled, but the docs time is working on that. If you have a look at the XOOPS Newsletters that might help for an overview

https://xoops.org/modules/news/index.php?storytopic=17

I am working on a XOOPS overview at my test site, early stages but may give you a feel for Xoops

For a list of modules (not what they do)

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=41586

Try experimenting with the modules that come with Xoops, the News module does what you see here on the XOOPS frontpage..:)

Article and content modules are many and varied, they don't come with the standard install, this allows webmasters to choose one which suits there own preferences.

Re: How to change default logo.gif to mylogo.jpg?

Ahh, beautiful!! I didn't have a clue what that particular setting was for.

I apologize for the lame question. I am new to this (xoops) after almost two years of using and modding PHPbb.

If editing your theme.html or the style sheet(s) based in your theme folder and you wish to see changes immediately, go to your site admin, and let your mouse hover over the System Admin Icon--then choose Preferences-->General Settings, and look for this field:

Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory? Set this to Yes

trezise

the standard sections module is depreciated, it does not use the XOOPS image manager

your image should be uploaded to:

http://www.yoursite.com/modules/sections/images/myimage.gif

soabox or wfsection has a lot more features

Hehe...dam piece of *#@! . That was it I used PHPmyadmin to change the entry under Browse--
---Conf_name

-- theme_set.

It was the Zaja-System theme that broke my site as well. I guess the creator didnt want us to edit it?

I've managed to install Apache2, mySQL, PHP, and XOOPS successfully (whew!). I have a few general questions now that I'm into the XOOPS configuration process:

- When I go to the main page of my site (e.g.http://localhost), I'm getting the "Welcome to Apache!" page. Removing the Index.htm pages then shows me a directory listing of my docroot. I haven't noticed anyone mentioning that they've needed to modify their DirectoryIndex setting in httpd.conf to look for Index.php. Is this just implied or is there a more appropriate way to point to XOOPS?

- I see where modules are listed in the Administration section, though honestly I haven't yet found good descriptions for what they do and/or suggestions for external modules that provide supersets of functionality. Can anyone provide either an example set of module configurations for a "standard" site or a comprehensive listing of modules and in what circumstances they're useful? I guess my specific example would be News entries... there seem to be multiple modules to choose from and I'm having problems determining what would be appropriate.

Thanks for any help!

How to change default logo.gif to mylogo.jpg?

I am developing a new site in xoops. I thought I'd give it a whirl for a new application.

Anyway, I developed a logo in JPG. I did convert it to GIF but it looks like crap.

It is 140x50 pixels. I am looking as to (a) where to put it and (b) what code to change.

I did a grep for logo.gif and found it in many locations, myheader.php, index.php, theme.html...

...since I am just using the default theme for now, I changed the logo in /themes/default/theme.html to my logo. This did nothing.

Ideas?

Well,

can you give us some more infos for the start like


... URL to your site

... which PHP / MySql version do you have on that server?

... which 'here' are you talking about? The one on the last page of the installation process i guess?

... were there any error messages during XOOPS installation?

... does the error log of the server show any errors?

... are we talking XOOPS 2.0.6?

... did you try to reupload and reinstall XOOPS (possibly downloading the XOOPS archive from here again beforehand)?
