8.1. Add-on themes

In this section we present some interesting add-on themes for PHP-Nuke:

8.1.1. AutoTheme

AutoTheme is an HTML Theme System for PostNuke and PHP-Nuke. The current theme system usually requires you to be somewhat familiar with PHP and the PostNuke or PHP-Nuke architecture. AutoTheme removes this complexity.

AutoTheme's primary benefit is providing users the ability to create PHP-Nuke themes in HTML using their favorite editor , with no use of PHP. In addition, AutoTheme provides easy customization of every part of your PHP-Nuke site; including block display, custom templates for the Home Page, User Pages and Admin Pages and individual modules. The addition of AutoBlocks provides unlimited locations for your blocks. All AutoTheme settings are easily configured from a graphical administration interface that is integrated into PHP-Nuke.

You can get a better idea of AutoTheme's possibilities, if you compare the standard layout of a PHP-Nuke theme with the layout offered by AutoTheme.
