Unfortunately my Domain Name Provider's web forwarding service is restrictive to say the least and I have found that the only way to get around this is to use a dynamic DNS service to help with my website redirection to allow me to host subdomains.
I then found I also have a problem with the XOOPS 2.3.3 CMS. The domain names I have used are fictitious as I still want the sites to remain priate until I have got them up and running. The setup is as follows:
Main Domain Name: http://paul.tandt.co.uk
Dynamc DNS Name: http://my.dns.pointer.org
Due to the restrictions on my Main Domain redirection. something like "http://paul.tandt.co.uk/themes/default/icons/favicon.ico" does not work however "http://my.dns.pointer.org/include/xoops.js" does work.
The result is that the opening page of the website and the home page once signed in have got little/no formatting although the Admin pages work fine. I have taken an extract from the sources of the opening page and the Admin page.

I have looked at the theme page and taken an extract of this:
<!-- Rss -->
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="" href="<{xoAppUrl backend.php}>" />
<!-- Favicon -->
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/ico" href="<{xoImgUrl icons/favicon.ico}>" />
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="<{xoImgUrl icons/favicon.png}>" />
What I would like to know is how can I change things like
xoAppUrl,
xoImgUrl and any other similar variables to use the value of XOOPS_URL set in the mainfile.config
Any help would be appreciated
Xavi
