Hi all, I have 2 sites running XOOPS and it's all perfect with all the modules etc, but I didn't understand yet how to add a new empty page without using an existing module or installing a new one.

For example... I have the home page, news and forum, but I want to add another page, let's call it "who we are" (or whatever), just like the home page but with a unique central block with 3 pictures and some text. I tryed to do it but I wasn't able to understand how.

I thought to work on the templates but seems to me that adding a new simple blank page, to fill with a block, should be too much an obvious task that shouldn't have the user to work with the "hard stuff", so I am asking you if there is a simple way, or the best way, to do it, cause I didn't found it yet.

Thanks in advance

Have you read the operations guide linked on the left?

In admin - preferences - blocks- there is an option - add new block. This block is the one you can use for your own individual blocks of content. Then you need to assign a position to the block...

Another way would be to use Multimenu - create individual pages, and link to them through Multimenu.

Hello, thanks for the reply.

Yes I know how to add a new block, but I asked a different thing, if is possible to add a new blank page without using a existing module.

I know how to make a new stand-alone html page and wrap it with xoops, adding the php codes, but I wanted to know if there is a way to tell XOOPS to add a blank web page (and automatically link it to the main menu) that I will fill with blocks, and in the future admin this new page with XOOPS instead of editing the html code directly. All that without using or installing a module.

Thanks

The only way to do that is outlined in this FAQ.

Thank you for trying to help all we really do appreciate it. But no one seems to understand our question.
The question is not "How do i make a new block?"
The question is "How do i make a new XOOPS page?" or "how do i make a new page using Xoops"
Do we have to make a html file on our hard drives, wrap it in the php code and then upload it (problematic, slow and complicated) or can we just use XOOPS to create a new page that we can add blocks to? (simple and fast)

For example Administration >> Blocks
at the top it says "show blocks visible in:" and then has a drop down box w/ a list of all your pages (or most of them actually). We all want to add some more to that list. Like a page that is "About Us" or "About my blue dog Sam" you know just plain old regular content found in typical web sites...

Did i muddy the question w/ an example? i hope not. It seems very straightforward to me...
