Thank you :)

eq_image, I've tried:

pMachine Pro, Expression Engine, Mambo, Drupal, postnuke, plone, typo3 amongst others.

Some brief reflections: pMachine Pro is great at a lot of things but has poor forum capabilities. Expression Engine currently lacks modules. Mambo is more suited to CMS than community-driven sites. Drupal has no newsletter/email notification capabilities. Postnuke has so many features that it would take forever removing the stuff I don't want on the site. Plone looks nice but doesn't have a forum or blog. Typo3 more suited to CMS than community sites.

I'm also looking into adapting Invision Board (because it's such a nice clean and powerful forum) - has a gallery module and a thin portal front end...

tjnemez I've read that one thanks and have gone through those 4 steps -

1. I have installed XOOPS and had a play. Wasn't put off at first glance, but it was a bit tricky figuring out where to go to make changes.

2. Made a list of things I need on my website.

3. Read quite a lot of posts on this website and others about XOOPs.

4. Quote: ^^ that's this topic :)

I've been trying out all sorts of CMS and trying to find a good solution for the community site I want to create. If anyone could help me out with how XOOPs could handle these features, that would be wonderful :)

* Users must register to add any comments to the site
* Categorised blog for the front page with comments. Archives by week/month/year. (I don't really get if "News" in your documentation = "Blog"). Ability to post to the future.
* Language filter (censoring bad words)
* Strong forum (how good is XOOPs one compared with Invasion?) with moderators
* FAQ
* Integrated Gallery
* Integrated Polls
* Not too many files to edit to get the design looking how I want it to.
* Ability to greatly simplify the features offered (lots of community sites are overwhelming and complicated for new people)
* Not too hard to be able to add my own PHP code into the site templates

Um, I think that's all off the top of my head. I've tried so many CMS it's crazy Any help would be totally appreciated :)

Ahh thank you!!!

Hi

I'm new to using XOOPS (actually I'm testing it out for a possible site) and can't seem to change the fonts. I've tried editing style.css in the default template but the fonts don't change.

Any suggestions?
