XOOPS editor and any WYSIWYG editor could break code if you use them with code-editing. Have a lot of exp with that.

Those editors add their own formatting, so it's mostly a no-go for me.

Couldn't agree more Aphex, even if it's free, I would never use it. It's ugly. $40 for such monstrousity is a real crime in my eyes.

The balance quality/price is simply below every ground. Even my themes are better xD...

Well he's already hosted... I'm currently being hosted by Versio, a small dutch company, which is very cheap but very good (really good... haven't got downtime since I've been with them).

For a VPS... well, I don't have a VPS yet, we're still not big enough to invest in that already ^^

Anyone can make a better theme. If you want a better theme, and you want to spend money on it, hire a developer to make one for you.

And, you can easily add a school image in a header. Takes 2 minutes in Photoshop. Not even!

Well, part of it is now being included in XOOPS 2.5 Alpha 1, in the file manager.

The first one, you can easily select a theme by going tohttp://www.xoops.site/index.php?xoops_theme_select=nameoftheme.

So if you go tohttps://xoops.org/index.php?xoops_theme_select=default you'll see the default theme.

You can make a content page and add pictures of all of your themes on it and get such a link.

But you can also use the theme block and use the function to let it show a thumbnail of the theme. That's most likely what you mean.

Duplicating themes can be done, but not with every theme though. Some themes use this: <{xoappurl>/themes/nameoftheme/ (or something) as link, and you can't rename them or you'll break all of the images and stylesheets in them. Most themes can be used with changing the name though, but not all.

And changing a theme is more than just editing themes.html and css - you often have (with Morphogenesis themes) a lot of templates in the xotpl folder. That makes it very hard to edit them if you're just starting. XOOPS theming is quite easy, but it's not so easy that everybody can do it - you'll need basic knowledge of css and html - and not everybody has that. Even I have problems often when making a theme (most of the time for XOOPS, but I've ran into problems too when making themes for Pluck. Concrete5 is easy.)

A themes module isn't coming soon I fear - but I have heard from something that Aphex did with a theme. I thought you could edit it with debaser. You can read that here:https://xoops.org/modules/news/article.php?storyid=5148
Maybe that's what you're looking for?

Edit: Sorry mate, but seems twitter forbids it, so no modules will be made for it, most likely :)
(from futuretweets.com):
Quote:
We received a friendly e-mail from the folks at Twitter that providing the recurring updates functionality is a violation of Twitter's Terms of Service. Therefore, as of today, all recurrence functionality will be disabled and existing recurring tweets will no longer be posted.


So litterally EVERY tweet should be unique.. that's a big limitation.. But maybe those services can help you ;)

Hmmm... So you mean a Twitter queue? You can put tweets in a waiting-list and send them at a specified time to a specified account?

Not really heard of something like it, and don't think it really needs a XOOPS module to do it. Most likely there is a a service.

A quick google gives me this:

Maybe that's what you're looking for?
If it is, maybe someone can make a module for it :)

Morphogenesis is great, but it's like they say about Elastic for WordPress: it's too heavy for a default theme.

Look at Kubrick for WordPress: it was revolutionary, but it has grown old. But that's a design anyone can use - Morphogenesis is great, but I see it a bit as "too grayish" and the default theme still makes me think from 2.0.13.1's default theme with another header. We got to get something refreshing, new and something that anyone can use.

And we'll need to use jquery - maybe even a cool pop-down login box?
And well... I think we can do like we did for the new XOOPS.org theme.. hold a contest ;D

And that xo-stuff... I can't understand ????? from it. How many of those are there that you can use XD? It's very unclear... and Aphex, your themes are understandable :p

That's an ugly and dull theme anyway... certainly not worth 40 $. Not any of them is! They look like the default theme with a few tweaks and another (streched) header.
