Adapting a theme for xoops

I have a theme created for php-nuke. I was just wondering would a php nuke theme work on XOOPS or are the setups totally different?

If they are, is there anyone here who would be willing to customize the theme to work on xoops. I'm a total novice. The theme was created for me by a friend. But he's on holiday for 2 weeks and i really need my site up.

Do you have a link to the postnuke version of the site so I can see what kind of thing you are talking about?

From that, I should be able to access any graphics and format styles that I need to bring over to the XOOPS theme.

Hello,
Welcome to Xoops.
I just installed XOOPS about a week ago and moved my PHPNuke site to a sub domain.

I converted my nuke theme http://nuke.archangelartifacts.com over to XOOPS http://archangelartifacts.com

Xoops theme rely heavily upon css and it took me a day or two to get reaquainted with css.

Xoops and PHPNuke themes are totaly different, in that you cannot just drop a nuke theme in the XOOPS theme folder.

I currently do not have time this week to work on your theme, but if you leave your web address and the nuke theme you want converted I will be able to work on it next week.

Peace

hhttp://www.kruspe-palace.com/nuke

i've just set that up really quickly. so the menus and content are not there. but that doesn't matter. i just need the basic layout and i can handle rest. i did take all the site down from nuke.

i only went to nuke coz it was installed by default on the server and i couldn't get databases to work. then, i put my brain in gear and woohoo.. a result. lol

whoever wants to customize the theme can.

Sounds like AAINC has this process fresh in mind, so he is probably you best bet.

Actually,thinking about.I do like the default XOOPS layout. But not the colors. If it could be black and navy. To blend in with my banner that would be cool. i've tried to do it with the stylesheets but my colors don't seem to work.

In your preference-general settings make sure following is set to yes while you are updating theme:
Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?

Now I assume you are using a FTP program.
When you upload a file make sure you upload it as a "binary" file, not on auto.
For whatever reason I could not get it to work with the auto on. That stumped me for several hours. I kept changing css and uploading with no effect. Then I noticed that the file size on the server did not change. (thats what I get for coding at 3a, I miss little stuff like that)

To start just update the style.css(/themes/default/style.css) and then later the theme.html and block html if needed.
You will get the hang of it.

I will be able to help this weekend if you still need some help.

PEACE
AAINC

Re: Adapting a theme for xoops

The first thing to try is a hard refresh. Close your browser window. Open a new window. Go to your site. Use Ctrl+F5 to force a hard refresh.

The next thing to do is see what you get in your browser when you go to your web site and "View Source". Is the page being downloaded but not rendering? If so, you have a bug in your HTML.

See if you can login by going directly to:
http://whateveryoururlis.com/user.php

If you can login, try switching back to the default theme, and see if it is still blank.
