And thanks Mad, I'm looking through books and sites now. I don't think it impossible just like to know where to start, lol!

Ok at the risk of further incurring Catz's wrath, I did not come here to start drama. I came asking for help. Seeing as he was rather upset about the posts here this morning and called to tell me so, I want to be clear to him (because he's now refusing to listen to me, thinking I must have said something to cause comments like that) and to everyone. I'm not trying to step on his toes, didn't imply anything other than he's unable to work on my site anymore.

I've not bad mouthed him. He has things to do and needs to focus on those things and I'd like to learn how to do this myself. I'm appreciating the advice and am reading and testing so I can get this done on my own. Please lets not turn this into a bickering session. I know James and Catz have made nice, but I've heard lots of not so nice things about Catz NOT posted here, but I don't feel the need to go into detail nor should his personal life or ethics come into play here. It's also not my job to defend him either. So if you feel the need to say what you wanna say about him, then I can't stop you, but I will not be gossiping back either. I have no comment on the subject. He and I have our differences, but I've never bad mouthed him. So...let's keep on topic here. Thank you all for your advice I'll be keeping you apprised of my progress and still asking for help. My offer of sharing code still stands for anyone that can spare a little help, when I get stuck. Just be aware I'm still a noob and a lot slower at this than all of you, so bare with me.

Oook. I had a bad case of salmonella poisoning so I'm behind on EVERYTHING. This little task included. But can someone point me in the right direction to get started on doing this myself? David has offered some support as all of you have. But I'd WOULD like to try to do it myself. <crosses fingers> But am not sure where to start. Got a few PhP books lying around and took a class or two but it was a beginner class so I don't know what I know.

Thanks all

Thanks all, these are great suggestions! I'm looking through to see which is most comprehensible to me so that I can attempt to do it myself.

I'm treading very slowly as I'm terrified of ruining the site, lol. I will be making back ups, as suggested, but I'm still quite verified.

Hi all,

I have had a dev using my site as a test bed for new modules etc for the past 3+ years. He's had to move on to other projects which leaves me at a loss. I am not sure if XOOPS modules are completely compatible with my site, but would like to switch the entire thing back XOOPS at it's core so that I can at least continue to update and change my site if needed.

I've learned how to do somethings myself but some of the things needing done are extremely advanced. My knowledge is not, lol.

I'd love some help and in exchange feel free to take any code you see there that you'd like to keep.

Thanks in advance,
C
