xoops 2.3.3
Smarty Debug ON
default/theme.html

the Smarty Debug Console reports that theme_name is empty.

<!-- Assign Theme name -->
<{assign var=theme_name value=$xoTheme->folderName}>

How do I resolve this?

p.s. {$xoops_theme} does have a value.

I read the thread on Pico in one of the other forums here.
I read how some people love Pico and use it all the time.
I wish I was one of those people, but I can't figure out what to do with it.

I was able to install Pico and clicked on "generate" and Pico appears in "Main Menu", but on the admin menu all the Pico sub menus are empty except for Preferences. I don't have a clue how to use Pico.

Pico also shows up in the blocks admin menu, as a choice in the "Visible on Page" menu.

I created a block, assigned it to the Pico page and that's all I get. Isn't Pico supposed to handle generation of other html pages.

Here's what I'm trying to use XOOPS for. I have a customer who already has a website. There is no e-commerce involved. There are maybe a dozen pages. He now wants the site to be converted to a CMS so he can make simple edits to pages, and upload pdf files for people to download.

I decided to give XOOPS a try. Am I on the right track? he is not interested in user forums, avatars, polls or quizes. I looked at XOOPS back in 2002. Today, I am really trying to work with it.

I find it tough going. I can handle php, html, javascript and CSS, but there are parts of XOOPS that are a mystery to me and documentation is limited. I found a XOOPS for Dummies link and that seems to have been the most help.
