it'll be better for us to learn xoops's structure if someone could share a structure map of xoops.

and i wonder how to create a template of my own.there's no full reference to refer by now.

what must i learn if i want to create a template like the site below....

We are currently working on updating and adding new documentation all the time. We are hoping to open new websites dedicated to various area's of XOOPS (core, modules, themes and documentation) at the start of next year.

Hello tonydd and welcome to XOOPS forums.
Can I suggest you look at this link WIKI as a starting point for templates and themes. Also search this forum for templates etc. There's a lot of usful information around. It really helps if you have some knowledge of using CSS and php to get the result you want. Come back to the forums and ask specific questions if you have difficulties.

Regards, Richard
