In the dropdown menu on the blocks administration page select System - Custom then click on the add button.


I added a custom block from system as described above for the purpose of making the content of this block display on my homepage only.

My problem with this is that all the other modules linked to from my menu use a background image for the body, but this system- custom block uses a solid white background for the body.

Do you know how I can make the system custom block use the background image instead?

Thanks!!

Making your own module would solve that problem.

You can make a module container and create the pages.

The pages can then be edited individually by your client.

You can select which blocks to show on which pages from within blocks settings.

Perhaps you want to just have a single block for each page.

Have a look at this link for making a simple module.

https://xoops.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=280


I am new to xoops, but have a little experience with some other off the shelf php/mysql packages like vbulletin, photopost, vbportal, wordpress, etc. And I've managed to learn a little about coding in the process.

I successfully created a simple custom module following the FAQ linked to in the last post.

I had hoped to be able to make the homepage default to the contents of this module. Can anyone tell me how to do this? If this involves creating a simple center block for the module, how would I go about doing that?

Thank you for your help.
