Just to support JayMoog's point, BigTree's documentation has not evolve since the post above and it has been two years when JayMoog asked about this. Even now I can't find anything with How-To-Steps for creating themes, modules, etc. In my opinion if you want the community/forum to grow, there should be tutorials, videos (I have just seen one video about this CMS), and default templates. Put the code out there so we can understand the structure of this platform. I'm not advanced developer but in order to become one, I have to learn and understand the architecture of the system and unfortunately BigTree doesn't offer that to its community.

I would understand if you/BigTree solely want the system to be used by developers (advanced devs) and engineers but if you want BigTree to grow as an Open Source, get the code out there for people see and learn how to customize the system, expand your documentation, tutorials, and videos. Until then people wont understand BigT and if the system was easier to use out of the box, there would have been videos out there by community members but there's none. Then we should ask, why there's nothing to teach How-To customize this platform for everyone?

I'm saying this because I'm currently struggling with this system. I have installed it on my local server to test it. I do have background in web development and front end, and the docs and user guide doesn't help much.

Looking forward to new videos and dev documentations!
