Hello, I am trying to make a gaming website, I wish to get a few pointers.


Starting off, http://www.gamershideout.org is my website and http://www.gamershideout.org/phpfusion is my abandoned website on another cms, please check out its article system, i was wondering if there is any module which could get me similar results with subcategories.

Also, if someone could recomend me some theme where its easy to just simply put my logo and it suits almost every common resolution i.e. 800 x 600, 1024 x 768 and 1280 x 960 .

Also if someone could recommend me a few modules to get me started. Thx ;)

EDIT: Also i need to know how i can make users have custom profiles where they can enter their favorite games etc. etc. custom profile fields

The search function is the best way to find answers rather than waiting for the right person to come along - it also means you will make up your own mind based on reading full threads.

First go to FAQ section - modules - where are the modules for XOOPS 2.0.14, and also head to the links and the module repository here on xoops. In this repository you will see users ad comments below which may help you make a decision about which module.
Without heading to your site my favourite is Smart Section but I haven't played with many others.

Logos can be changed by altering the image in the theme - lots of themes to try but making your own changes can do the job. Once again haed to FAQ section - themes - lots of FAQ in there.

Custom profiles is one you will probably have to search a bit deeper for - but lots have asked about this lately.

It is also best to try handling one question at a time in the right forum....theme questions in the theme forum, module useage questions in the module usage forum etc...

Please familiarise yourself with XOOPS documentation, FAQ and search - thay are your first port of call.
