Themes: The making of a XOOPS theme - part 1

Posted by: beingOn 2004/12/6 22:40:00 6721 reads

This tutorial is aimed at teaching XOOPS users how to make a XOOPS theme from scratch.

An excellent tutorial written for the less experienced user. Good attention to detail with plenty of explanation of all the stages of theme production.

Also see the second part here.

Amm ... this is great ... I would like to help you but my English is too bad. Maybe I will translate this tutorial to Slovene and I hope people will start making more themes because then XOOPS sites will be different. I really like your work and I hope you will make part 2.

Keep up the good work ...

being, you have clearly put a lot of thought and attention into this tutorial. We need material like this centalised so that all users can find it and benefit. Of course what you do with it is up to you, but if you want a job on the docs team ...

Thanks for sharing this with the community. Let me know if there is anything I can do to support your efforts.

You may have noticed that I've placed your site in the community websites list on the Documentation site. This kind of input deserves promotion and attention.

Part 2 is up and running. Didn't quite make it to the Xoop tags, definetly get onto them in part 3. It's going to be a while before I get to do another part. Certainly not in the next few days but I'll get on it ASAP.

Many thanks for the comments. It's really encouraging to get them. I'll be happy to donate the whole series for inclusion inside the main XOOPS site. All the images inside part 2 (part 1 has no images) are linked directly to grabageek.net so some rejiggling of links with a find/replace tool is going to be needed to move the tut to Xoops. I'll pm to see how to go about this the best way.

Thanks again for the positive feedback, hope part 2 isn't a let down lol

wooow that was fast

I like part 2 very much ... I think that these two tutorials are really the easyest way to learn how to make themes... and btw: your site looks great!

Will you write how to edit CSS, too ?

Hi Bahattee,

Glad you liked part 2. I'll definetly cover CSS in another part. It's a pretty involved subject though and I really only use it in a simplistic way but I'll write about the basics with type for sure.

Very Impressed!

You have done a great job. A lot of effort, very thoughtfull, detailed enough for beginners to get a grasp, as much as allowing an insight, in why certain things are being done.

I can't believe how quick you got that second part up, with all the images, etc...EXCELLENT

Have you read the thread regarding creation of a theme forge? There are a couple of people working behind the scenes, trying to realize this. I would really like to have you as part of it, if you have the time, desire, and motivation that is. Contact tjenemez, Studio C, or me if you are interested.

Thank you very much for your contribution, I am sure many XOOPS users will appreciate your efforts. I do! Nice to have people like you in this community

Very impressed also. I consider this a "must read" article for all aspiring theme designers.

I believe appreciation goes a long way, so your going to have to hear it again ... Thanks for contributing this!

I will head straight over to the docs site now and link to these 2 tuts. Good luck with your further developments.

Did anyone get a copy of this? If you did can I have a copy? The site has disappeared.

This tutorial has never been completed.

You can download a copy of both part 1&2 from my server, which I have uploaded for your convenience.

Maybe carnuke would like to add this zip file to the docs.xoops.org download section, where currently only a link is available.

Wow I am flattered.
Seeing grabageek used as a TUT. Now this is impressive to me.

This is my first time here and it is very interesting. Kewl
