The CMS software known as XOOPS or eXtensible Object Oriented Portal System is one of the leading open source CMS applications, composed with PHP, and designed for creating websites. Its object orientation makes it an ideal tool for writing small or large websites, weblogs and mobile applications. It began as a portal system, and is now used for data creation, as a web application platform for web and mobile. Continuously upgraded, it receives good reviews from a lot of users, and due to its growing positive receptions, several books have been written about XOOPS in a variety of languages. It helps as a web framework for use by websites of varying sizes, through installation of modules. An idea of a small XOOPS installation can act as a personal weblog or journal, and this can be further customized.
Using a simple template-based system Xoops can send both emails and messages using simple template based software. Multiple criteria located in in Xoops is made easier for users and webmasters to find. User’s can easily edit personal profiles and decide on their personal website them, with the option of custom avatars. Xoops also possesses one of the best support systems available in multiple languages. There are many support sites specifically designed for those who don’t speak English. This is due to some subject management system clients have problems for users who do not speak English. And it has a very small learning curve as well, and is often compared to larger CMS applications like Drupal. With the intuitive design any extra features needed by your website may be added by additional modules and themes.
A lot of XOOPS modules contain additions to control the indexing of a website in most search engines. With that in mind, there is the fact that XOOPS does not give it’s users much control of their URLs. XOOPS often applies redirects that could confuse search engines. In addition, most XOOPS modules can create duplicate content by developing the same information that’s attainable on multiple sites, and in situations with sites that have multiple languages, several sets of information might be made available through similar URLs.
Due to XOOPS being released under the GNU terms as apart of the General Public License, the expansion and improvement of XOOPS depends on the distributions of a worldwide community movement. That support resulted in the final version of XOOPS, version 2.4.4 being released in February of 2010.
