“XOOPS is a great content management system that has been around for a long time and has a large community of users and developers,” says Tom Callaghan, click2try VP Operations. “XOOPS offers over 60 themes right out of the box, as well as a complete user management system. By adding XOOPS to our catalog, we continue to provide our customers a wide choice of solutions.”
XOOPS is a truly international project, with hundreds of developers from around the world providing modules to extend the XOOPS capabilities. Because XOOPS uses the Smarty templating system (http://www.smarty.net), designers and users can apply their own custom templates without affecting internal XOOPS operations. This ease-of-use helps explain the tens of thousands of XOOPS users around the world.

Mobile Computing & XOOPS - Tested OK
XOOPS offers the very best in mobile computing solutions, but at the moment not without a bit of leg work. Due to the design of XOOPS there are many solutions you can provide to your clients and your own business with XOOPS for mobile computing, that will make it very cost effective. All you need is an Apache service running MySQL and PHP. You can even run it on IIS with particular system environments and variables set.Mobile computing is a generic term describing one's ability to use technology while moving, as opposed to portable computers, which are only practical for use while deployed in a stationary configuration.
Many types of mobile computers have been introduced since the 1990s, including the:
* Wearable computer
* Personal digital assistant/Enterprise digital assistant
* Smartphone
* Carputer
* UMPC
With the extendable smarty template engine as well as reliable and rock solid Core, XOOPS can bring your mobile computing experience alive with network response and performance not to mention one of the best Open Source delivery method around making the result cheaper and beneficial to company and business; the small time operator and none business use.
Of course, XOOPS has been congenitally designed for the laptop, desktop, fridge computer and other household technology demographics, offering quite a smorgas board of solutions, all at http://www.xoops.org. However you can simply change the template engine to suit a mobile device and bingo - in seconds you have a site that is designed for mobile computing use.
Some examples of mobile computing you will find with sites like mobile.ebay.com and mobile.live.com. These are sites designed for mobile computing use whether it is your phone or solution providing tablet. There are some basic steps of setting up a mobile computing workhorse with XOOPS
Some of these steps include:
If you are a mobile computing solution provider these 5 simplified steps to making a site will have you rolling out your client sites in next to no time, with a base of modules and other solutions. With this you can provide solutions very quickly and far more effectively.
Of course, with the vast number of XOOPS modules and XOOPS performance indication, even with an existing XOOPS site you can offer a mobile portal version of your content and modules. This will make a massive expansion in your usability. On your blackberry, nokia,
LG, Palm, whatever - you can use XOOPS.Why spend 12 month developing rudimentary website tools like user login, session handling, services, modules, your look and feel and more when you get that all bundled with a download of XOOPS. And by doing it you'll be able to cut down the number of programmers needed to do the development, and thus save cost.
If you would like to know more about mobile computing with XOOPS talk to our community, join the forums or email one of the developers. You start to a quicker, brighter, better world that will give you an opportunity to cut cost and take a pre-developed, pre-tested Web Framework and use it.
XOOPS – Just use it!

Welcome to XOOPS' new server
We've completed the move of http://www.xoops.org to our new server 
We would like to express our deep appreciations to the staff of Surpass Hosting for all their help during the transition.
There are still some cosmetics to be done related to UTF-8, but in general, you should be able to use the server without any problems. If there are any issues, please let us know.
Now that we're done with the move, we'll be able to focus on fixing few things here and there, and then focus on redesign of the Website and improving the usability. Please provide us with your feedback in this thread

XOOPS goes exclusively PHP5
As indicated year ago (read here), the XOOPS 2.3.x version is the last one version that is supported on PHP4.
Since PHP4 has been discontinued as of August 8th, 2008, and majority of Host providers offer nowadays PHP5, it's time for XOOPS to discontinue support for PHP4 as well.
This will help us to focus our resources on PHP5 development and to take full advantage of PHP5 features, which will benefit our users and developers. It will also help us to shorten our testing cycle.
Therefore, our upcoming XOOPS 2.3.4 will be the last release compatible with PHP4. However, we will make sure that it is a solid release, that will serve our users for many months, if not years, to come, if they need to keep it on PHP4.
XOOPS 2.4 that will follow, will be only tested and certified exclusively on PHP 5.2 and up.
We would also like to encourage everybody to start switching to MySQL 5.x, as pretty soon this will be also our standard supported configuration: PHP5/MySQL5
Server migration this weekend
We will be moving XOOPS Websites this weekend (starting Saturday, May 2nd, 8 AM GMT) to a new server. In order to ensure data consistency, we'll close the Websites for that time.
We hope to re-open the the XOOPS Websites later that weekend.
Please be patient with us, and use SourceForge, as well as our XOOPS local support sites during that time.
