Take the Local Support link on the left in the main menu. Here you will find links to support sites in other languages. If your language isn't there then a support site for you is not known by us...perhaps you will start one yourself one day?
Seriously - if you can't find support in your language in the 'Local Support' section please post in the forums for help in your own language. (Use English - Subject - Looking for help from someone who speaks XXXX language.) Chances are there might be someone who can help you.

Q

How do I find a module in Xoops CMS?

A

Requested by Carnuke and Answered by Mithrandir on 2004/11/10 17:10:10 (6135 reads)
Here on xoops.org, we had a considerable Module Repository with many modules for many purposes. This module repository has not been updated for some time (For reasons I will not go into here it had to be closed) and as a result modules from here may not work effectively with xoops 2.0.16. However, the repository is still open - hopefully some clever people may pick up one of these archival items and breathe new life into it.

Q

How do I know what a module does before installing it in Xoops CMS?

A

When a module is released, the developer will often post a link to a demo site along with his announcement. If the module is used on Xoops.org or a related site, you will be able to see it in action and try out its features.

Q

How do I learn about creating my own Xoops module in XOOPS CMS?

A

a) Be sure of what you want with the module - it is always easier to program, when you know exactly, what you want the code to do for you

b) Look how other people do things - it is unnecessary to re-invent the wheel and often there are nice tricks in other modules, showing how to e.g. retrieve the usernames of several users at once or how to enable the search feature in your module
