Well, Im trying to see if I can alter the look of my main page to allow me to create a look more in line with www.slushfactory.com or www.ugo.com or www.ign.com. I am comitted to working with XOOPS now, after having looked at a ton of different CMS' packages. I have determined that XOOPS is by far the closest to my needs. i am also in the midst of learning php programming and thought i would apply what I am learning on my site. Right now, i am using a theme developed by a XOOPS member and am using the default template. I want to change the template and the theme to match what i want my site to be.
As far as what that is, well, it's a comic book/movie online magazine. I know what i want to do is possible, but up until now, I wasnt too sure how to articulate what I need, but as I learn, I understand what i am trying to accomplish.
I want to take the different categories that I have on my site and list them separately on my front page. i want a featured news spot, an interview and review section, which I believe I can achieve by using the articles module. But I need to change the layout of the frontpage to include all of that and still list headlines under each category.
Like I said above, those websites have the idea of what Im looking to do. Now, its all about the learning and to see if XOOPS can help me accomplish it in its current form.
any help and advice is greatly appreciated.
