I want to use a theme I am using on my Nuke site for Xoops, because there is no real decent themes (atleast none that I have seen) for Xoops. SO my question is how hard is it to convert a theme from Nuke or phpbb to work with Xoops?

@Hikaru

Before you begin seeking the theme be ported perhaps you should seek consent from the original author.

Bassman: I was going to attempt to port it over myself, as I would like to learn the inner working of XOOPS and how it works.

This way I can provide

I am one of the co-arthors of the theme, and besides I am using it for my personal use, not trying to distribute it.

Bummer, its a nice theme. anyways you can find an FAQ about theming in the FAQ section. Basically all you need to do is get it down to a template then add in the <{$xoops_codes}>

header
l_block loop
cl_block loop
cr_block loop
cc_block loop
r_block loop
footer

download any graphic theme and you will see exactly how to do it.

also check out some of these

Alot of great info on themeing and the like can be pulled from outside sources. Good Luck.

Biteronboard No worries, if all goes well, I will release several other themes.

I want to be able to contribute to the XOOPS community and offer my themes, mods and knowledge

I read over the FAQs already, one of the first things I did before posting my question. Just was not sure if the steps would be the same or different since it was a template for something else first.
