I am a complete newbie to all this. I wanted to create a portal,I tried PHPNUKE, PHPWebsite but XOOPS tops them all. I have managed to get a grip on the themes and modules etc but I have one question.

When you go to the site http://www.itsallaboutthevibe.com it comes up with the modules that I have set for anonymous. when you register the page you see has the centre box filled with a custom welcome box - just some straight text (i created this in front page and then pasted the html into the box etc).

This is the box that I would like to be viewed by all users, in that I customise a welcome page etc before they register and to perhaps encourage them to do so - How do I do this???

I have tried setting the blocks to anonymous and creating a new block but to no avial.

If any of you who are more enlightened would comment i would very much appreciate your comments/feedback.

Many thanks

Jake aka Mr Vibes

You just want this as a block on the top page when a user comes to your site?

Thanks

You just need to set permission for the anonymous group to be able to access the block you created.

Sys Admin -> Groups, check the tickboxes.

Hope this helps...

Go to the admin panel, System -> Blocks. Go all the way to the bottom, where you can create a new block. For the block type, you will need to specify Center Block-Center. Give it a title, and paste your code from Frontpage into the content area, and you should be set. Let me know if that is what you needed.

Fantastico
I thought that if you ticked the block access box - they (the anonymous users) would n't be able to see it - problem solved. Many thanks - amazing - within minutes of a post I got the answer.

Hope some day I'll be good enough to share my knowledge.

I'm a happy chappy now.

Thanks
