One trick pony?!? Customizing look and feel

I have installed XOOPS, and have been very impressed with how easy it is to work with. It is very professional looking and wow does it save time!

However, being new to XOOPS and not knowing the capabilities, it appears that all the sites I've seen are rather cookie cutter spin-offs. I understand that you can modify the look and feel somewhat through templates and CSS, but where are the living examples?

Someone pointed out in another forum topic that Geek Web Talk is a XOOPS site. Not certain of that, I am asking this:

Can XOOPS be made to look NOT like a XOOPS site? It would be very valuable for me to learn how to customize XOOPS to that end.

Are there tutorials or docs? The ones I saw here in the documentation didn't really address this.

Any and all help is truly appreciated.

Any one have the solution?

Problem solved!

You were right in that the hosting provider has something in place preventing hotlinking.

To verify, I created a new domain and had it hosted elsewhere. Works perfectly. Not sure why XOOPS would trigger the server that it was hotlinking - maybe something in the structure - but if someone has that answer, it would be helpful to know.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions.

Unfortunately, that suggestion did not help. I have attached two screen caps; one as it appears at the client site, and one as it appears in my development environment.

One note, the screen cap of the correct view is NOT showed from a local (desktop) machine - it is actually hosted and on the internet. That is why I am wondering what is going wrong.

I tried doing a global search and only came up with 5 hits in the FAQ section, none of which seemed to fit the issue.

Are you able to be more specific as to which answer you referred to?

... and thank you :)

I have installed XOOPS as a test site for a client and have no problem working with it whatsoever with my development setup. I work with a desktop and laptop running through the same DSL wireless router (Linksys) and I use Firefox and IE for testing them.

When I access the site through my clients router, the page can be accessed, but no images or functionality (ie I cannot log in) is are available.

What am I missing, and where do I start? Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Bender - thanks for the help. I am hoping to get more time to look at the mechanics of Xoops.

Right now, I need to get the XOOPS site to emulate the look and feel of what my currnet site is. From there, I'll dive in!
Thanks again!

Thanks again for the help!

I just had XOOPS installed (automatically) through my godaddy-hosted site. I have been able to install a few modules without issue. However, when I click the Register Now link to create a new user, I receive: "Selected module does not exist!".

I checked the module installation page - nothing seems out of order.

Can anyone help me through this? Thank you!
