I agree...this has become to dumb to keep on discussing about I have been with XOOPS over three years and have not have found any major problems the code is very good, the communnity is great, I love all the developers, just don't understand when all the fussing comes up when I come up with discussions like this. Certainly the programmers have done their best and themes is the least important when you can easily make them yourself.... all I can say is that I feel that XOOPS coders have done their best. Thank you all.

OK, but how about starting a new thread about themes if that is what you want?

Back on topic...
After reading this thread I've determined for myself that XOOPS is NOT on crack. I'm pretty sure about that. For me that closes this one. (that doesn't mean that all XOOPS users aren't on crack, the code is fine {core})


"The thread fell down but keeps getting up..."

Lets talk about what we can do to make these themes better and more appealing to everyone.

okay everybody now that this debate is over lets all endevour to further xoops

Thanks Brash,

Allairis.com offers professional custom theme development for Xoops, but at a cost. Please feel free to contact me if you are looking for a more professional theme. Much more than what you see on average here is possible with Xoops, just not for free.

Have a look athttp://www.fantasybaseball.com. This site is still under development but utilizes a lot of the unique features of XOOPS and shows what it's caspable of.

All comes down to expectations. What you may think is a great theme, others wont, and vice versa.

We are in the process of developing a XOOPS Theme Forge (which is a lot of work, and not many people contributing), that does have the aim to attract more Theme Designers, as well as offer a place for those interested to organize themselves, as well as their project.

Further (the biggest work load), we will offer an extensive resource collection for anything XOOPS Theme related. There will be an Icon, Image, and Template Repository, tutorials concerning different aspects of XOOPS Theme design, a web guide to sites, we Theme Forge developers find/found to especially helpfull.

You know dilliywilly7, the big problem those people that contribute experience, is the lack of help from others. Here at xoops.org I often feel surrounded by 5 year old "I want, I want, I want, NOW!" (not directed at you!).

Having said that. Developing a theme is currently very work intensive, and unfortunaly, while many business like to use XOOPS and come here asking for help, the fewest contribute!!! A big annoyance to me personaly, but that's just the way life is.

@brash: I agree And thanks for pointing this out, these people deserve the credit...all though, as you mentioned, there are a couple more, but I'm so bad when it comes to name

Have you looked at any themes by 7dana, StudioC, Incarma, Draven or any other of the other top designers? Personally I've never seen a Nuke theme that has left me gob smacked, they look good, but a tad dated for my tastes.

Mithrandir you are my hero XOOPS is great but we really need some of the theme designers from php nuke there amazing!

We plan on doing that for the next major version of XOOPS. A list of general measures to take as well as how to sanitize tainted data prior to database insertion, how to sanitize it for display and how to sanitize it for editing in forms

We have that already. Only for developers with projects on the site, though, as we don't want vulnerabilities to be discussed in a publicly viewable forum.
