No I don't have an ftp program. I have a cPanel and one of the options on it is an ftp manager, is this an ftp program or do I need to go and get one?

Once you download a module to your computer from the module repository...how do you get it uploaded to xoops? I can't find an upload option for new modules via my XOOPS admin panel. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, I was referring to the module repository. I have found some really helpful modules I could use. I think Stewdio has provided me with some great steps on how to get these in there. Thanks for your reply,
Nikki

Thank you so much for the info. Seems like I may be able to follow your instructions. I really appreciate the advice and instructions. I am going to go try this out!
Thanks so much, Wish me luck!

I have been browsing through the site, and found some interesting things my site could cerainly use in the module repository; especially in the communications module. Where can I find additional info and instructions on how to add these in to my xoops? Also how do you change which XOOPS page is displayed as the home page of your site?
Thanks in advance,
Nikki

Thanks for the quick repies! Yes, I have read some of the documentation, unfortunately I am as "new" to this stuff as they come. I had to have my host install XOOPS for me, that should tell you how bad I am at this stuff, lol. The only thing I am familiar with is Microsoft FrontPage, and I am trying my best to steer clear of having to resort to using it again since it is so limited and produces such plain pages. Anyway, I am going to check out the themes, I am sure I will be able to find something to my liking, let's just hope I will be able to follow how to install it! Also, I know you can add all types of stuff, like a calendar and things, where do I begin learning how to do this at? Are all the things you add called modules? Also, can you change which page is the first one displayed on the web, or will it have to stay with that login page? Thanks for all the help (helpful links are appreciated also),

P.S. Beagle, I am about 20 mins from Mobile, so yeah, we have had everyday t-storms that were way worse than this tropical storm! Thankfully though, I know Ivan last year was rough on you guys, we had no power for 4 days and I really don't want to go through another hurricane this year. Too hot! and What a small world...only 20 minute difference in locations, that is too cool! Don't meet a lot of "local" people in the forums (usually I don't anyway)

I am new to web design/developement to say the least. After much research and advice, I am trying out xoops. My host installed it for me and now I am Lost as to how to proceed. When you access the site: racerxmoto.com via the web, a XOOPS login page appears. My main ? is this: How can I change/edit what this page looks like? As of right now, it looks like a XOOPS site vs. a racerxmoto site. What do I do now?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated and I thank you so MUCH in advance,
Nikki
