Hi,

That's what we mean by "cloning" modules: changing names and module's prefix tables in order to install a module several times.

Take a look at this site for a demo. I don't know if the webmaster made a tutorial to explain how he did this (shame on me )

I assume you are running on mac osx;
PHP and Apache are pre-installed on your mac (since it is unix powered), you just have to activate them.
You only will need to download MySQL and phpmyadmin, and then use the Terminal application
I propose you to visit this site, which might be useful, and absolutely visit this other site.

Hope this help.

Happy xoopsing.

In order to get the latest version of iContent, the best is to go there.

I knew it wasn't clear
- theme adaptation: by saying 'your current site theme', I meant the whole apparance of your site (in your profile), including your CSS .
How to adapt it? Well, I'm not a theme designer, so it is difficult for me to help you in this domain, but I would see the documentation given here. Basically, the whole 'apparence' of a XOOPS site is determined by a theme: you could find it in html/themes/name_of_your_theme/theme.html
You can use the CSS you had in your previous site (I guess, please somebody corrects me if I'm wrong), and adaptating the theme.html file in order to look the same way as your previous site (just take a look at the code of this page, it is basically like a HTML page, but it has inside it php code in order to insert 'xoops content' like blocs and so on...)

I spoke of adaptation because I thought you would prefer conserving the same apparence of your website. But you can also just use another theme. You can find plenty of themes here.

-inserting data
well, it depends on what kind of data will be insered. If it is weblinks, you will have to re-enter them by hand in the mylinks module. If it is text (I mean html pages like this one, and given you have sub-folder in which many pages are stored, the easiest way is to use the iContent module (since you just have to upload your sub-folder in the 'pages' folder of iContent, and the module will detect them: you will just have to activate the sub-folders and the pages (very easy to understand when you use the module )
For the shop, there are some shop module (like a port of oscommerce to xoops)

I hope it is easier to understand. If not, just ask

Greetings,

the first things to do according to me is to define all your needs for your website: what kind of informations do you want to present: pictures, texts...
When you know this, you can select which modules you will use, and install them, if they're not in the official package.

Second, you will have to configure your XOOPS (and I suggest yu to read this kind of tutorials, and also, this.

Third, you will have to adapt the XOOPS theme to your current site's theme.

Fourth, you will have to transfer the data contained in your old site into your xoops.

Last, but not least, you will have to make a big party in order to celebrate your new website powered by XOOPS

If you search in the download section, you could find modules for rss-feed, e-commerce, and inserting HTML (some features that you will need, regarding the adresse you gave in your profile)

Happy xoopsing.

If you just want to manage article in your website, and nothing else, I would recommand you to take a look at SPIP which was designed for journalism, at first.

Xoops is a very powerful tool (and I enjoy using it) but it is more community-oriented (in my mind) than SPIP which focus on article management only (with a small forum too).

I think the main question is: how will evolve your needs in the future? And only you can answer to this question.

An exemple of a site using SPIP (a very famous french quality newspaper)

Happy Xoopsing

Hervé, this kind of behavior makes me very angry.

I found this link (french only).

EDIT: for those who don't understand french: somenone registered the xoops.fr address and not being a member of the official XOOPS french-speaking team (correct me if I'm wrong, Hervé)

You should read this excellent tutorial by Solo

Happy xoopsing.

You can also use the multi-menu module.

Happy Xoopsing.

Hi,

why do you reboot your computer?

If you have problems with your english, you could join us at Xoops-France.
From there, you should go to Xoops-modules, and enter the "Centre de ressources pour developpeurs" section, leaded by Thecat.
