I'm missing something basic here

All I want to do is try some themes out - change the look of the site. It should be straight forward ... but it's not (at least it doesn't appear that way). I'm using version 2.3.3 just downloaded.

I've tried uploading files for the downloaded themes into my /themes/ directory but XOOPS doesn't see them. There's an upload facility in the admin area but it says files have to be .tar or .tar.gz .... but all the theme downloads from the XOOPS site are zip files.

Ok, what am I missing here .... is something stuffed here, or do I need a lobotomy?

Hello Watchmanz,

Take a look at these tutorials on my site:

Even though it is an earlier version of xoops, the method is the same.

No, you only need one of those if you become a core developer. lol

Hey thanks jd ... very easy to follow. Now do you have one to help me build my whole site? LOL

Looks like I can do away with the lobotomy now - I'll leave that up to the developers ;)

Your very welcome. And there are more there. Maybe one day I will get around to updating them.
