I am redesigning our department website and would like to use xoops. However, I am confused as to how to accomplish my goals because I don't know how to configure xoops. I've read through the user's guide at
http://wiki.xoops.org/wakka.php?wakka=HomePage. The main layout of the site will consist of the following pages:
Home pageCourse syllabus page (dynamic php page filled from MySQL db depending on the course code passed to it)
Faculty page (dynamic php page which gives info on a faculty member. Also filled from MySQL db.)
Degree information (static html page)
If I understand what I've read, I need to pick a module to use as my home page.
I finally understand what "blocks" are and where to configure them but I don't know if I need to reconfigure a current module for each page listed above, or use a different module for each, or to just use blocks.
Could someone just kinda give me a push in the right direction as to how I should go about configuring/setting up the main pages above? I'm hoping that after I get that done I will be understand XOOPS better and be able to configure other pages I haven't mentioned.
Sorry if this question is confusing. I tried to phrase it clearly but unfortunately I don't understand enough about XOOPS to better phrase my question.
I've also installed iMenu and created a couple of links but nothing shows up anywhere so I don't know what iMenu is supposed to accomplish. I also installed the Freecontent module and uploaded a basic html file to the content directory as per the instructions but I don't know what I'm supposed to do to display that page.
Thanks.
