A very basic multiMenu question that I just cant seem to figure out.

I want to rename the main Index menu button in the navigation area from multiMenu to something different. Im not talking about the sub menus below the main index with th 01-08 appended to the end. I figured out how to change those.

I need to change the main navigation butto n from multiMenu to "Applications"

Thanks in advance!

All,

Thanks all for your help :)

I have been able to integrate a php program from my application into xoops. Yea!!! I have to rename some of my variables because they step on some globals from xoops, but thats not a big deal.

The one thing I wanted to do was to not show the url that you navagate to through a menubar option. Now it displays the url in the addy bar.

As Im learning more abot xoops, it looks like it basically wraps its UI around called content/modules. Not a 100% true portal with portlets, which can obfiscate (not show) the URL that runs in a portlet.

Am I wrong with this assumption? Can I run called content in a block without the url that called that content being shown in the addy bar?

Script,

Sorry for being a total newb. I dont quite understand how to use Blank Paper module, or any of the FAQ topics to, get my php application to run in an XOOPS block.

My application is launched from a different path, outside of xoops. My XOOPS root dir ishttp://localhost/xoops, the php program is located athttp://localhost/headstart/student.php

student.php is an application that looks into the mySQL db at the student table, fetches the enrolled students, and displays them in a zebra list that has some jQuery widgets to allow managing of the data... (ie updates, deletets and inserts)

I'm sorry for being so inept with this. I been pounding away here trying to find an existing module that I can use, but to no avail. A detailed explanation would be great!

Kindest Regards,

Rob

Thanks Script :)

I have loaded the module. I have created a link to one of my php applications but when the link is clicked it takes me out of xoops. I want to be able to have the content of the application to be displayed in a block in the XOOPS portal.

Looking forward to the reply!

Thanks again

Rob

Hello all,

I just down loaded XOOPS and ran through the visual guide. I have a question that I cant seem to find an answer through the search utility.

Im building a web based application with PHP/MySQL. I would like my php programs to run in an XOOPS block. And I would like to navagate the application via a left menu bar, that will be based upon a user's profile.

The first thing I need to know, is how can I create a menu item that will launch the php application in the main block (portlet)

Once I have that going, I'm sure Ill have many more newb questions.

Your help is greatly appreciated. I'm building this application pro-bono for the headstart pre-school program in my town so XOOPS would be a great tool if it will work for them. They are severyly budget strapped.

Rob
