Extensible Object Oriented Portal System---XOOPS is designed on a modular architecture. This means, the system allows the web administrator to customize the websites with different additional features, modify the presentation with different themes and update the contents of the websites through the installation of different modules. This modular structure also helps to upgrade the small sites into medium and the mediums into large with the addition of proper modules.
The core framework of Xoops can be compared to your computer's operating system, because it offers the platform on which other programs can perform their respective tasks. The modules are like the other programs that are added to the OS for a stronger foundation. These additional modules help your site become more versatile. The News module is one among them.
How does the modular structure work?
Suppose you have started with a small Xoops installation which is adequate for serving the purpose of a personal weblog or a small size e-journal. When you decide to turn it into a more dynamic news site, you have to add appropriate modules for storing, managing, updating or archiving of the news.
So what is a Xoops news module?
It is a professional module that allows you to manage the news of your website. For download and other information, visit this site:

• It also makes possible to attach as many related articles as you want with the corresponding topics and sub topics.
• It also comes with a powerful permissions management system that allows the administrator to create and authorize groups for articles submission. Another group can be created and authorized to approve and edit them. It also makes possible for the administrator to decide who can see what.
• Another advantage of the module relates to the creation of search engines friendly pages by using such tools as significant pages titles in sync with the matter of your content, meta keywords and meta descriptions related to the content.
• The module also allows you to emphasize the contents with some blocks.
• It enables the features of RSS feeds and integrated search, automated articles and expired articles.
