Hi!

Total XOOPS newbie here... I just read your "Before Posting" post and carefully tried to follow the directions. I found that some of the links in your message (FAQ and others) are broken.

Regarding Xoops, two things come to mind immediately as a newbie:

1. Docs are scattered all over the web. Would be nice to have one page somewhere with links to all the other pages/docs.

2. I'd like to see an example site with a write-up by the developer which explains to me HOW and WHY they did what they did. Why did you choose to use a particular module, etc.

Right now I have spent only 5-6 hours working with Xoops. On one hand I find it very easy to build a very feature-filled website. On the other I get a bit lost at all my possible choices.

Coming from a place where I design websites in pure HTML using a text editor, I find I keep tryign to grab for a "page." I might be wrong but the concept of a page seems to foreign from XOOPS site design. The end result to the user may look like a page, but it's not. Did anyone else have trouble wrestling with this concept?

I think I will be very happy developing sites in XOOPS and I'm looking forward to getting up and over this intial learning curve!

Thanks.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We recently re-organized content, and as this thread is a bit long in the tooth, some of the content has been moved.

That is the purpose of http://docs.xoops.org , but as you can imagine, this is a large task, and so far has been slow in going.

Welcome to XOOPS, enjoy your stay, and make use of the search function!

Don't want to be picky. But if the FAQ does not work in the docs.xoops - section I would not show it in the main manu. The Link on top of this thread should definately be fixed or removed. This thread is the first thing you read before posting something, and it doesn't give a very good impression...
