We bought something called OpenSpace from PopScript.com a couple of months ago; which is made up of mostly XOOPS modules. I can't even tell what version -- the System Admin module says v1.01 (2002); which I don't know how that cooresponds to current XOOPS versioning. But I am pretty sure it is mostly XOOPS because when I go into the Administration section there are a bunch of modules and many of them have a eXoops button (like
http://www.spirittag.com/buttons/XoopsButton.gif ) and when I look at the "info" for some of the modules like NewbbPlus I get a pop-up that has the info like "Newbb (E-Xoops 1.05 Rev3) with Group Auth, Attachments, Polls and more!" -- so I am guessing I have Xoops, but not a stanard version or a version that has been modified by PopScript.
Regardless, we wanted to upgrade the overall core system and modules so we can take advantage of the newer modules and be able to upgrade as new versions come out, but we don't have a lot of experience with XOOPS or PHP (we know some HTML and PHP, but not tons)! We are a "poor" all-volunteer group running a site for youth and young adults (with a slightly Christian bent, but open to all -- more focused on helping people through personal life experiences than anything else and building a community to provide an alternative to MySpace) --
http://www.SpiritTAG.com -- and are trying to find out where we could maybe get help figuring out how to upgrade our site -- and then also maybe get some minor help modifying a module or two (e.g. we want the ability for user's to add Comments to another person's Profile -- a biggy for us).
We don't have a lot of money, but can probably scrap up something. Sooooo, anyone that wants to contact us about helping us upgrading our version to the latest XOOPS or suggestions on where we can get some reliable help with all this, would be greatly appreciated. We are starting to get a lot of people on our site (only been up for 2 months) but we know that there are some really good updates to modules we could use -- if we only had a little help. So HELP PLEASE We believe we have a really great site for young people, but we are struggling as we are at a loss on how to proceed. Thanks ~PapaBear
