I tried the content management module you provided, and it works pretty well, I can add custom HTML pages into my XOOPS website now. Thank you so much.

Okay, I will try that later on, when I will be trying to port some themes to XOOPS.

Thank you very much.

I am still confused on how to use the whole XOOPS templates, and theme stuff, but eventually I will find myself out.

Thank you very much.

1. I am using FileZilla FTP client as the main FTP client for my website (latest version).

2. I logged into my webhost cPanel account, and changed the permissions from 0644 to 0444, and it worked. This time the file permissions stay the say at 0444 (read only).

3. About the DocumentRoot problem, I did just like you said, and moved the xoops_data and xoops_lib folder out of the /public_html folder, then modified the mainfile.php file with the new location for those folders, and now I am not getting any error messages at all! Thank you so much!

I am not sure which service operating system my webhost is using. It may be a Windows server though, since yes, just like you said, it does keep changing the file permissions back when you use FileZilla to change file permissions.

I have been using Windows all my life, with the exception of using Linux between times, for file backup, to check out the latest live cd/dvd, try to learn how to use it, etc. - I think I got introduced to Linux around 2003, by a friend, and now I have been using it a lot lately for the part 2-3 years.

Therefore, about 2 days ago, I decided that I had nothing to loose, and upgrade from MS Windows to Linux, although there were few problems to encounter - such as my Windows files would not work (games, label creator, flash player, java, etc...), and also that I would have to get used to how less cluttered in every way is Linux.

I choose to use Linux, because it was more secure, less cluttered, and plus, lots of free Linux packaged to choose from.

So, I decided to install the latest Linux Mint 9 i386 DVD distribution, and after getting some used to (because of different way Linux displays graphics), I am not used to using Linux Mint 9.

Also, I mainly choose Linux to use as my main operating system, because I have been using Linux for years now, to test, and backup my system, so I am comfortable in using it, also, I am able to much easily keep many more folders organized, because of the easy to use ext4 Linux file system, and finally, the main problem with Windows that I did not like, is if you have a lot of long directory names (especially when doing website design), if something small goes wrong with the Windows file system, it asks you to use CHKDSK to check and fix the file system, even though there is nothing wrong with the file system, and that I can still access all my files.

Then if, and after you would let CHKDSK problem fix your file system, all your organized folders become from long folders into mess, such as how the CHKDSK program make them into FILE_1, and so on, plus I've had lots of problems using Windows and finding programs for use with it, so Linux is my best solution.

I won't be coming back to Windows at all now, since Linux is much better is every single way.

Thank you very much.

I tried to download the latest MultiMenu 2.0 version from the XOOPS modules / Navigation repository, but the website where you can download it, says that the domain name is expired, so I am un-able to download the latest version.

Does anybody know where I can download the latest MultiMenu 2.0 version?

For now, I will try to go with the Multimenu 1.7 version, which does not have broken download link.

Thank you very much.

Okay, but what do I do about the original links in the template, do I need to replace them to something / ... for them to work, or do I need to edit links / ... ?

Thank you very much.

So, if I re-arrange all the blocks on my website, I can use the theme I installed to make it look that way?

Also, where can I get some XOOPS templates? Or would I have to search online for that?

Thank you very much.

If I contact my webhost, and ask them to change the permissions on the "makefile.php" file from "0644" to "0444" (read only), would that keep the permissions at "0444" (read only), or can my XOOPS installation somehow be at fault?

Found the solution:

I just had to search correctly by the subject title name:

https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=71559&forum=7&post_id=327733#forumpost327733

Sorry, my fault I did not do more searching.

Thank you very much.

I tried installing themes from the XOOPS.org themes repository, and it simply does not let me install them through the Template Set Manager, because it keeps telling me: Must be a tar.gz/.tar file with a valid XOOPS template set structure*

I downloaded some themes from the XOOPS.org themes repository, so I support they would be able to be installed, but I do not know why it does not work?

All the themes I downloaded are in the .zip file name.

I am using the latest XOOPS 2.4.5 installation with my website.

Thank you very much.

I read in your news post (https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=4765) about the latest Total Management Theme; you sort of mentioned, that you somehow ported a free theme from HTML /... to XOOPS (or maybe that's not what you meant...?)

How can I port a free theme either from the templateworld.com, or other free template sites to XOOPS?

And how long would it take?

Thank you very much.
