I'm curious.  You say you are "no coder", but the homepage of sNews says,

Quote:
sNews is suitable for developers with beginner-to-advanced PHP skills and a good working knowledge of how to work with, set up and manage MySQL databases. sNews is not geared towards the end-user who knows little or nothing about building and developing PHP-MySQL websites.


Do you find that sNews actually does not require coding skills?

If I port a theme and have images, css and an index with content... Is it really sufficient to export it as XML ???


Yeah, ThemeManager will do it for you - all templates, images, js and css and menu manager templates will be encode inside the xml file.

And could someone please check if I did ok trying to upload them,


Theme team should check it ...

But as I am quite stupid, heh, and sometimes don't get what I read, I am in need of assistance...


Feel free to ask :) ...

Hi, jmcgin51... I, myself, have no coding skills whatsoever when it comes to PHP (meaning actually building something with my own ten fingers). I do some XHTML/CSS design jobs. I use sNews, mainly from being apart of it since 2005, so a few things have caught on, i guess. But I can't code one bit. Therefor I feel I can say what I did. Though, not saying a complete newbie would benefit a lot from using it, no... There you have a point. All true's are with some modification, no ? So is this. A simple install, needs no coding skills according to me. That's correct. However, sNews is a very lightweight system with bare necessities from scratch, so if you need/want more "blingbling" and/or performance changes, well, yes you do need some coding skills, in PHP.

You satisfied with how system behaves, but need to change the looks of it, yes you need competense in XHTML/CSS.

@Cyberman - Many thanks for a warm welcome.

@Patric

If you want to contribute themes just export them from theme manager and upload the .XML file to the themes site, no need for zipping them, it's just an extra step...

As long as anything it needs is called in the template or style sheets it will get exported with it, just no GCB...

Hello: I just wanted to let all the admins/and users here know that i have just downloaded and installed this great flexible CMS and to tell you the truth i wish i would have installed this long ago,i like it.

Infact i used another CMS for almost 2 years and while using the other CMS i moved into Theme Designing,Core Coding for the site's plugin sites ex: There Theme Site And Mods Site,I was creating at least 6 new never before seen themes on a regular basis.Using some very cool CSS approaches,With this said i am now going to start creating Themes for CMSMS seeing how much i like this system.
My Skills are:

html
xhtml
CSS
PHP
Java
XML
Flash

I use alot of Image Software,Photoshop,Flash Creation,Banner Makers and well so many to mention.
Anyway,again be on the lookout for some cool themes comming from me ...
If you would like to see some of my themes let me know,
