Are thier any instructions on how to port a mambo theme. I found one at this link theme that I really liked and was wondering if an easy way existed to port it into a XOOPS theme.
Thanks

I don't know of any step by step instructions on how to convert themes from one CMS to another, but I do know that XOOPS is the easiest to port other designs to. All you have to do is look at the default theme for the main <{SMARTY}> variables. Those variables are what output the data.

What I've done for clients in the past was to do a "save as" in my browser on their site (fully rendered design without the CMS specific variables), then I just cleared out the content data and replaced it with the XOOPS variables.

I think a few of the good designers have done some tutorials on this. In fact, Will_H just did a slicing guide. The Anatomy of the default theme will be helpful as well.
Insanity can be defined as "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

Stupidity is not a crime. Therefore, you are free to go.
