Hi,

Please help

Thanks

probably the simpliest way to accomplish this is to create a new block (System -> Blocks) and set it to only display on the Top Page.

just realised something. on the preference page, there is a default module option for start page. Do i need to edit this in some way. the custom block obviosuly isnt listed there, cos its not a module.

thanks for all the help

What are the settings for your block? (System -> Blocks : Edit on your custom block)

Hi, if you set module for start page to none and set your custom block(s) to show on the top page this should work, ensure you group permissions set aswell or some users may not see it. Also make sure the block settings are correct, if its just plain text you have put in it set it to auto format if its HTML code make sure its set to html.

Hope this helps

that theme only displays blocks set into two positions:

Left
Center-Left

If you place your block into the Center-Left position it will display
