Shy one... you can find a good example of doing exactly what your talking about at www.lansingsportsrage.com

We decided to use the FAQ page as an open to visitors, and we set that as our start up page.

An unregistered member comes to the site and they get pushed into the FAQ page.. which displays a custom box, some previews of stuff available to registered members, but if you click on any of them, it says you must be registered to view.

Has worked well so far.

Hey All...

lansingsportsrage.com is now 6 months old... and over that time I have learned quite a bit about XOOPS and how to make it work (or how it sometimes just won't).

I'd be interested in hearing site reviews...

LansingSportsRage.com is where Lansing (Mi) Sports Fans Talk Sports.. it is a sports community where fans of Michigan State (and Michigan too), Detroit Pro Teams, and Mid-Michigan High School sports fans come together to share opinions, talk trash and maybe even learn a thing or two.

The mod's write articles from time to time also, just to give us a journalistic flair

If you have a few minutes, please stop in and give us the once over.

Due to massive amounts of personal attacks on the board, I made the site members only... however, I created a guest account (id=guest;password=password) which I will leave available for a little while. I'm hoping you'll all be responsible.

Thanks,

Patrick

what was the fix ?? I had a similar problem.. then discovered the themes I uploaded were inside of an extra layer of folders ( themes/theme_name/theme_name/ )

I removed the extra theme folder, but now the pages don't loud the graphics or the .css correctly...

Any ideas what would cause that ?

Two steps forward and one step back...

The FAQ was helpful, I had read that section once before, but re-reading it, combined with the other help provided it made more sense.

The themes were downloaded and sent to the server, and when I'm in Site Admin, I can select the new themes from the drop down list..

But they don't display correctly at all.. none of the graphics link up either.

The themes were put into the correct folder and they look the same as the other templates there, but they certainly don't load up the same.

Do I need to edit the main template files to look for these new folders ?

Herko, I'm going to have to plead ignorance here.

I'm new to Content Management Software.

My webserver provider informed me many are provided free and of the ones I looked at I liked XOOPS the best.

When I log in as adminstrator, my server only provides 3 themes to choose from: Default, phpkaox & x2t.

I browed through the themes library here and found many more themes to choose from... but I can't figure out how to upload them.

Under the admin menu on my website, I find a "templates" option and there I can upload new templates, but only if they have the .tar format, which most of the themes I've found don't have.

So.. I guess I'm looking for help/direction.

There are several templates I'd like to try here a Xoops, but the majority of them (all but 1 I have tried) don't have a tar.gz/.tar file with a valid XOOPS template set structure included ?

I have found only the Xoops2 Theme Art to have the .tar file, all the others I have tried don't.

Am I missing something ?

Patrick
