Yes, it is an additionnal module. You can use xp-syndication or RSS-Fit. Both for Xoops2

Happy xoopsing

You can also use Easyphp. In 1 time, and a very simple procedure (I think it is nearly in 1 mouse-click)

Happy Xoopsing.

You can also read the Xoops Webranking in 10 lessons written by Solo for the Wolfactory.

And congratulation for Stewdio and JackJ;
Keep the good work, and happy xoopsing!

Check: French is translated for the core and for modules too (I think at least 100 modules). The french XOOPS community is said to be very active too ! You can join us here at Xoops-France and find modules in french there.

Happy Xoopsing!

Well, I don't think he wanted to say that, but:
when you want to build a new website, you need to have it on your personnal computer in order to test it, optimize it... for having the best site of the Net, and at this step, YOU are the only person who must see the pages. Here goes easyphp: you just install it on your PC, and you can focus only on the building of your website. No more, no less.
As soon as your site is ready, you must answer the question: where must my website be hosted for OTHER people to view its pages? You can host your website on your own computer, but to me, it appears to be merely a "technical curiosity" unless you have the infrastructure behind it (having your PC turned on permanently, a good broadband for the pages being sent rapidly, making regular back-up, being ready to face hacking of your server (not obligatory, of course, but not improbable too...)) In other words: for hosting, I let professionnals do this task.
And from times to times, you will need to change some things on your website like installing a new module: better to test it on a local site, rather than on a "in-live" site, do you think?

To sum-up: use easyphp for building your website and testing modifications of its structure on your PC, and let a copy of your site being hosted by professionnals for other people to see your work.

Happy xoopsing.

Hello,

That's very simple. When you navigate a website, your browser gets some pages written in HTML (Hyper-Text Mark-up Langage) from a remote server (aka a remote computer on which the website is hosted). If the site is very simple, the server just sends HTML pages stored on it. But on some sites (like this), the page is dynamically made by the server, meaning that the server has to link some parts of code in order to built the webpage before sending it. The programm which indicates to the server what to do is called PHP (Php Hypertext Preprocessor). Note that there exist some other programms that do the same thing as PHP, but PHP is well-known and free.
When you're using a CMS (Content Management System, for example XOOPS ), you have a large amount of data to store. The great idea is then to use a databank. Here comes MySQL (Structure Query Langage), an other free and well-known programm, to handle this databank. Again, you can find other SQL-software, but XOOPS runs only with MySQL for now.
And last, but not the least, Apache (please check the name, it's not apahce) is the name of a webserver.

All of these programms can be installed with easyphp (works only on PC, if you're on a mac, you will have to do it manually), and you can find it here.

Once PHP, MySQL and Apache are on your computer, you can install Xoops.

Happy Xoopsing and bye.

Edited: Cuckson was quicker than me to answer! Sorry.

You can also take a look at easyphp for installing php, apache, MySQL and phpmyadmin ina very easy way...
