How much of it do you want to be static? You can put news in via one of the news modules through a block. The FAQ will teach you how to do that. As for static content, you can use a block for that too. You have two options. One, you can create an Iframe and have an html page load into that. Or create the html page in the block. Most of what you want can be answered through the FAQ. I am fairly new myself, and outside of some install problems and bugs on the way, I managed to get my page the way I want in under a week.

Both are good suggestions. I use blocks myself, and you can tell XOOPS where to put the blocks in the admin module. Another handy thing is Iframes. I have a large html site that parts of have been around since 1997. It would take forever to transfer it all over to Xoops, so I use Iframes in blocks to get things where they need to be. I use links inside the Iframe so all the html pages open in the same spot. This works very well for me.

I wouldn't trade XOOPS for the world. I am no expert at PHP and SQL. I am at html, and that is what the bulk of my site is. Thank God for Iframes. Still, XOOPS adds an element to my site that makes things more interesting for me. And it is far easier to maintain. Two years ago my site got hacked. There was pretty extensive damage to it, pages missing, other pages tampered with, and so forth. The problem is not whether you are using html, php, shtml, asp, or whatever. The problem is with the security used by the server. If they were able to break into your site through Xoops, that means there were other holes to begin with they could have made it through, and would have. My server now has security that is unbelievable, but even if it did not, I still would not give up on Xoops.

Yes, Bender I tried that. I even deleted the template files. However, the clean install worked, and I mananged to save the database by backing it up and then restoring it after the install was done.

Does not display at all. I get the header, "Main Menu" but that is about it. It is tempting just to do a clean install, but I would rather not do that.

My installed modules are not showing up under the heading Main Menu. Instead there is just a very small blank space. They were okay earlier today, but now they do not show up in Firefox or IE. Any ideas? I have not touched the template though I changed the size of the left column in the CSS.

I managed to resolve it with a full clean install instead of doing the upgrade.

I just upgraded to 2.2.3 and now I am seeing no blocks on the main page, not even the User Menu. I can't login in because there is not place to. Any idea what went wrong. Debugging is on, but showing no errors.

Thanks Bender. What I was thinking though is there should be a way in Perl to pull the login in info from the XOOPS database and use it for Ikonboard. If both use the same cookie, one would not need separate logins. Unfortuantally, I am a dabbler in code, and would not know how to do that. Going the otherway, pulling Ikonbaord login in information from XOOPS I know probably would not work. I think it would disable most features. Anyhow would this be workable??? Or would I be wasting someone's time?
