Newbb is old compared to CBB3.08, which you can get from one of the links in phppp's sig (see post above). you will need the "Frameworks" and "xoopseditors" from that site too.


What forum module is used here at XOOPS.org?

Thanks you all for feedback - I'm starting to feel at home already!

Here is where I stand. I have put so much time and effort to understand Drupal and have been using it for about 6 months now. And as stefan88 said:

That being said, I really like how XOOPS handles things. I have installed and played with both the News module and the AMS module. News felt more powerful but thought to be still lacking in some aspects. For example, I can't assign an article to more than one topic, something you could easily do in Drupal.

I also played with Newbb 2 forum, and have to admit, you can't compare Drupal core forum or even the comment module for that matter to XOOPS. XOOPS wins hands down and this is something drupal developers can learn from.

Drupal also has a module called Book module (comes with core) and it is the best module I have ever seen to organize content.

I also love the notification options that XOOPS give users. It is a nice way of keeping users up to date on topics of intereset.

Now let me answer some questions from previous posts.

Do you happen to know something like "Drupal for XOOPS users" or "Drupal for dummies"? I wanted to learn more about drupal, but it is hard to start when familiar with something else - diferent terms and way to do things ...

I hear you there, same goes for XOOPS! - I don't have anything like that but you are more than welcome to email your questions and i will do my best to get back to you ASAP.

LifeType module will be among the top multi-user blog modules once XOOPS 2.3 Beta is released.
Currently you may give the module a try on XOOPS 2.0.*

I will be playing with this today and will report back!

-Some other categories and sub-categories


Are these categories going to be in a forum module, or a sections module, either way yes they could be added to a module.



Also you can use empty (virtual) module for each of the categories (and have something like a page) and asign coresponding blocks to that module.


You lost me here, I have no idea what you mean by this :)

Thanks again guys for such a wonderful feedback.

Can XOOPS handle the following (This is what I have on my current drupal site):

1. Categories
Example:
-Database
--SQL
--PL/SQL

-Programing languages
--Visual Basic
--PHP
--Java
--C#

-Some other categories and sub-categories

2. Code syntax highlighting
This is a must - I use GeSHi module on my current drupal site. I have lots of code in my posts and this will present them in a very clear easy to follow way.

3. SEO friendly URLs
so url will show as www.yousite.com/a-sample-select-statement

4. Blogs
My current site allows me to give users their own blog on the site. Example, if I have a user with username "test1" then they can have their blog at www.yousite.com/test1.

5. Does XOOPS allow guest posts? If so, how does it protect against spam? I use CAPTCHA on my drupal site to limit spam.

This is all what I can think of at the moment.

Thanks for you help

Hi all,

Xoops looks really good! Not sure if I want to switch my site over BUT I have to say that the forum is way better than Drupal.

Is it easy to convert a drupal site to xoops? Is there any modules that will help in this aspect?

Do you think I should switch?!

EDIT: added some feature i'm looking for
