I was trying to figure out what the best way to add some static text on the front page. Mostly like an introduction. I was thinking about just creating a block however the block doesn't have a WYSIWYG editor.

In PHPNuke there was a special Messages module.

What would you recommend?

Thanks for the info. I'm reading the XOOPS for Dummies as we speak.

Do you know where I can find the development info on ZenCart?

I've been looking at simply installing it as a stand alone. I've been on the ZenCart forums and it is really powerful ecommerce software.

So I am trying to make the move from PHPNuke. However, I need a new CMS to have the following things which I would hope are available in XOOPS.

1. Possibility to use external SMTP server similar to PHPBB forums. (ISP blocks my port 25)

2. Paypal shopping cart w/ invoicing and tax exempt customers. (OSCommerce seems adequate)

3. Easy to use WYSIWYG editor for editing pages.

4. Comprehensive and easy to use group administration.

5. Simple to use gallery that doesn't require ImageMagik.

I have looked through the manuals but I would like some insight from people who have actually used it and their impressions.

From what I have seen I'm very impressed.

Ohh and it wouldn't by any chance happen to have compatibility with any PHPNuke mods/themes would it?
