Day 5: Customization
There are three kinds of customizations that we can do in XOOPS:
setting Preferences in XOOPS Core and in individual modules
hacks of the Core and the modules
theme customizations
Preferences
Almost each module has a set of Preferences, where the Admin can select and decide on individual aspects of the module, e.g. size of the thumbnail to be saved, size of the image to be accepted, number of records shown to the user.
Hacks
For hacks, there are several good sources on the XOOPS Website:
XOOPS FAQ: Hacks section
XOOPS Support Forums: Hacks section
Themes
Due to the very modular architecture of XOOPS, the Webmasters can switch to different existing themes, or they can developed their own
Over the years many of XOOPS users have contributed close to 1,000 themes to the XOOPS community:
The Webmaster can use the above themes and modify them, or create new themes from scratch! There is an excellent book called "Designing for XOOPS" that will be very helpful:
