OK, well I been developing for a while in PHP, HTML, XML, C, C++ and a multitude of other langs.

Anyway, I am looking to use an opensource CMS like XOOPS. I have been looking at some of the themes that can be downloaded on an internal site to my network. Some of them look pretty good!! However, like anyone else minor and sometimes major mods need to take place.

Interesting enough (I can now say I know nothing about XOOPS) I have tried to change some themes, with very minor changes. You know like changing a <a href> tag in theme.html and nothing happens, no change at all. So, I thought well maybe the system defaults to the theme.html.bak file...ha ha ha...yeah, but no. So, then I thought why don't I just delete the theme.html file and the theme.html.bak from the root directory of the theme all together, clear my cache, oh, I don't restart my PC, restart the web server, verify on the server that the files don't exist, change file permissions, you know basically completely (I supposed) screw up the theme so it does not function. Boy talk about stability, the darn theme still works no change, nothing. I'm laughing myself into a delerious state of painfully ignorant bliss...WTF!!

So my question is:

How do you modify a theme?

Jason

Under the general settings, change "Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?
" to yes. I think by default its set to no. This will allow you to view your changes.

Well, that works. Suppose I should mess around with the admin menu before changing code.

Thanks,

Jason

Not a prob.
