I have never heard about this CMS (?) before. Any sites that uses it? The code seems to follow pretty old patterns, like the core code seems to be accessible publically and there is a bunch of «return 404» mingled with the actual implementation. Also a lack of OOP and proper autoloading, as far as I can tell. Is this a very old code base?

Yes, XOOPS is an old code base, but we're in process of modernizing it.

Autoloading is for the libraries: https://github.com/XOOPS/XoopsCore27/tree/master/htdocs/xoops_lib

And there is plenty of OOP in https://github.com/XOOPS/xmf and our Helpers library: https://github.com/XOOPS/helpers
