XOOPS Description
XOOPS is a program that allows administrators to easily create dynamic websites with great content and many outstanding features. It is an ideal tool for developing small to large dynamic community websites, intra company portals, corporate portals, weblogs and much more.
XOOPS is an acronym of eXtensible Object Oriented Portal System. Though started as a portal system, XOOPS is in fact striving steadily on the track of Content Management System. It can serve as a web framework for use by small, medium and large sites.
A lite XOOPS can be used as a personal weblog or journal. For this purpose, you can do a standard install, and use its News module only. For a medium site, you can use modules like News, Forum, Download, Web Links etc to form a community to interact with your members and visitors. For a large site as an enterprise one, you can develop your own modules such as eShop, and use XOOP's uniform user management system to seamlessly integrate your modules with the whole system.

I like XOOPS alot. It's solid, has great features and an excellent support community. It's worked flawlessly from the beginning and I enjoy adding new features and modules all the time. Highly recommended!

Xoops is a solid CMS with tons of ready made solutions (modules) to common problems, but I believe it's real strength is in the quality, active support one can access in it's user forums. From basic installation questions to complex hacks, a polite user can get all sorts of help in a decently short amount of time.

Xoops has almost any module you can imagine... twice. That's good. It has a dummy-proof install system. Good. But, man, it has hundreds of templates, a CSS style file that is endless. Easy to configure. Very difficult to give the look you want.

I love Xoops, I have used many CMS systems but this is the most stable and customisable of them all and the best thing about it is the support. It's free and there is a great community on hand that are alway willing to help.

I take my hat off to this portal engine. It works a treat for my urbanskaters project site and the plugins are a real no-brainer. A lot of effort has gone into this engine and i'm going to be using it for a long time to come. Excellent job!

Intersting CMS for personal use. Very slow when it gets big. Many bugs makes it too unstable for professional use. Also to many core

Great CMS with a strong and active helpfull community. As with all the opensource CMS's or scripts it has some minor bugs, but the developers keep their strong involved hands on it.
Because of the use smarty templates it is easy to create a different theme lay-out. Which makes you not stuck on the standard left/center/right lay-out.
Although the admininterface works just fine, it could be bit more improven. It also has some nice grouppermission settings.
As said, every free CMS has its own pro and conts and offcourse bugs. But after trying a lot of them I'd choose Xoops. It installs smoothly and runs flawless.

I was impressed by the features that were available and I installed it with no problem. As time goes on I find many bugs and querks that don't make sense. For example, one of the system admin areas just dissapeared. There seems to be a ghost in the system. Things go bumb in the night.

Xoops was designed really well from the ground up. There are plenty of modules, themes and templates available. They are also easy to modify and customize which made was important to me.

Over the past couple years, I've worked with many of the more mainstream CMSs listed on this site. Xoops is by far my far the most intuitive, stable, and secure CMS of all the products I've tested. I've now been using Xoops for about 9 months and have setup multiple client sites with it. Every client has been extremely pleased with Xoops ease of use. As a designer, and aspiring developer, I appreciate the well documented, easy to understand code.

Don't let the austere admin side fool you. This is a slick, flexible and robust portal system. The vast collection of plug in modules allows you to easily customize a site for almost any type of application. But by far the greatest asset of this system is the xoops community at xoops.org. A lot of people with plenty of answers and help. When choosing an open source application think very carefully about where you will get your support from. The xoops community is one of the busiest and strongest I have encountered.

XOOPS is one of the most easiest to install and modify CMS I have ever used. And I have previously used Coranto, PHP-Nuke, PostNuke but when it forked to Xaraya I gave up and searched for a new one. When I tested XOOPS for the first time I was able to set it up very quickly. I could understand how the themes and templates were created and how I can modify them. I could see all the modules that I can download and install easily (try doing that with nukes!). Feel free to have a look at my church website. :)

I have worked on xoops for few months. Here's my two cents. It's very slow when you got large amount users. The design is piece of garbage (There are many template, none of them good and clean). Real hard to modified code. Xoops hard coded everywhere classes, functions, variables, file names, URLs. Database structure design is very poor. The more you use it, the more you get sorry for yourself for choose it. The only thing good is, I have to say, the support group is good. They will answer your questions, help you solve problems. But problems are endless. I finally have to leave it otherwise I will kill myself ten times. Targeting users:
1. Anyone don't mind crappy GUIs. and
2. Anyone Never modified source code/database even HTML code.
Otherwise go for phpnuke or mambo
