Does anyone have an example of code for a Custom block that pulls up an external site and loads it into the center block? Is this possible?

'Contenu' is a XOOPS website wrapper module, if you can find it. I can mail you a copy if need be. Anyway, the following bit of code is from its 'index.php' file, think it may be what you need to add into your custom block.

would you not just use the

As the Custom block code and bada boom I have the site I need in my cnter block.

But now how about this? I want a block on the side that just has a list of links, that when clicked load into the center block like it were a module. I almost need a blank module I can use as the target for the Link.

Does this make sense?

I just posted 'Contenu' to you. I also posted a module called 'myiframe' (also in the download section) which may be able to do what you want. Not sure if it has a multi-link menu block as I haven't gotten around to trying it yet. Hope it does as that is what need myself.

There is a module in the download section called 'multimenu', use it to create a link block containing links pointing to the pages wrapped you wrapped with 'myiframe'. I think this is what you wanted.

I'll check out multimenu as well but I used both Wrap (Contenu) and MyiFrames last night, and I found iFrames to work great. A little bit of a pain for me but I think it will work fine.

Check out http://pubmp3.com the two lower blocks are links pointing to iFrames entries.

The way it's working for me is;
1. Open iFrames in the Control panel and 'Manage iFrames'
2. Add an iFrame entry (adjust all the settings to suit.
3. Create a custom block and add an 'Link1


This seems to be working for me.

I tried Multimenu and it was about the same as what I was doing, you just don't have to know too much HTML with Multimenu.

They both work fine, more importantly they both do what I need them to do. :)
