if it's a custom block, then select php for the block type.. and then remove the php tags..

ie.

so it looks like:

<font size="1" face="Verdana">
include 'http://www.everythingfunny.com/links/my_links.php';
</font>

<font size="1" face="Verdana">
<?php
include 'http://www.everythingfunny.com/links/my_links.php';

To Guido:
When XOOPS interpets bb code links it adds target="_blank". So it reads:

[URL=yourlink]LinkText[/URL]

and changes it to:

<a href="yourlink" target="_blank">LinkText</a>

This forces a new window to open. If it simply left off the target="_blank" then the link would open in the current window. I'm not exactly sure why XOOPS does this. Maybe its some standard method of interpeting bb code.

At any rate, to make this easier for my users that aren't HTML savvy I edited the XOOPS core. For me this didn't seem to have any detrimental side effects on the rest of XOOPS. I edited the file /html/class/module.textsanitizer.php. There is a small function in there called &xoopsCodeDecode that handles this. I just removed everything that said target="blank". (Note: always make a backup before editing code.)


To Anyone:
Is there a way for me to recommend this little change to the XOOPS developers?

Thanks for the tip about Edito and multiMenu. They won't help me with this specific problem but they really look like very handly modules.
