description
The term Xoops stands for eXtensible Object Oriented Portal System , English for "expandable, object-oriented portal system". Xoops makes it easy to manage complex websites . The basic system itself offers one with modules scalable framework with multi- user management . The design and layout can be adapted using the integrated Smarty template engine or using the layout templates that are already available. Xoops are mainly used in online communities ; However, Xoops can also meet the requirements of a classic content management system. Xoops is not optimized directly for web designers. Although Xoops uses a template engine with which in principle everything can be adapted, there are only a few outstanding pre-made layout templates for Xoops.
Xoops can be expanded by so-called modules with additional functions such as guest books , forums , wikis and much more. With the introduction of version 2.3, the two versions 2.0 and 2.2 were reunited into one version. However, due to the changeover to UTF-8, not all modules have yet been converted or adapted.
