For the installation I remember there was something in the compressed file, but try this too http://docs.xoops.org/modules/xdocman/inde...=xu-002&lang=en
for the mantain it depends on what you have to do, if you need help(Xoops i very easy i think no )) ask and if someone will help you

Hi...
Xoops? there are many choices of CMS like it on the net. Personally, i like to use Mambo. It got many features and the interface is nice.
Go to http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_...ment/index.html for more CMS options.
or
http://www.mamboserver.com/ for mambo server

Hey All,
I have tried most of the CMS as well. I also prefer Mambo. I have found it very easy to set up and maintain. You can see my dabbling with Mambo here.

If you have any specific question ... post.

cheers

In a sense you don't learn xoops, you just need a general knowledge in sql and php, as with any CMS:

Then benfits are:

You will understand a script while you look and be able to read through the hole cms at various custom functions ect

You can start to modify the source and make cool things or add new things.

First of all
you need to understand why you want to use a CMS

is it because the ease of getting a webpage to work
in a short amount of time

is it just general interest in the posibilities
you have a urge to learn more

is it because you dont know how to make a webpage youre self

you want the back end database ability but you dont know how to code it youre self

you want the back end database ability but you dont care to use
hours(months) making it youre self

you want and easy interface for updating content on a webpage

you just want to play around

or why is it?

anyway i am also testing out the abilities of mambo
and would posibly recomend it (although it dont work like i want it to)
because of the ease of making youre custom templates
but it is beta
and some concepts in mambo i find a little hard to understand right away.
but the basics are great

there is a new version(v.5) on its way wich will have dramatic changes to
how data is organized (and maby how you configure it?! - i dont know )

but as mentioned there is a lot of alternatives
It is common to test different CMS before sticking with one
you will find tools / webpages (google) comparing differnt CMS

ill just do som name(page) dropping

http://www.spip.net/en
http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/
or just search https://sourceforge.net/ or alike for cms

but forget about all that for a moment
before you start looking at them
find out why you want a CMS
then you will spare youre self of much headache

or if the fact is you just want to play around and learn more
then it does not realy matter
but if you want to there will be help on xoops
just ask

heimcomputer it's totally right... you need to tell us first what is it u want with a cms... For example.. i have a college newspaper published on phpnuke, because the topics layout is the appropiate for the newspaper needs.. but i also have a hip-hop portal running under xoops, because i manage a lot of different info and contents... (so, if you need help with xoops, i'll be more than happy to help with), ok. I also manage a little site for a company, so y use CMSimple, because it's very easy to edit, and the site doesn't need to be changing all the time, there are no news, etc..

Hope to hear from ya soon
