Dealing with the same design issue's... The Xoop's for Dummies documentation addresses this and solved the dummy module issue though...
You first create a new folder in the Modules directory named for the dummy module... Then create index.php file with the following basic code: _____________________________ include("../../mainfile.php"); include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php"); $xoopsOption['show_rblock'] = 1; ?> include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/footer.php"); ?> ______________________________ Then create a file called xoops_version.php with the following code: ______________________________ $modversion['name'] = "Dummy Module";//name of module $modversion['version'] = 1.01; $modversion['description'] = "Dummy Module"; $modversion['author'] = ""; $modversion['credits'] = ""; $modversion['help'] = ""; $modversion['license'] = "GPL see LICENSE"; $modversion['official'] = 0; $modversion['image'] = "yourlogo.JPG"; $modversion['dirname'] = "dummy";//name of directory // Admin things $modversion['hasAdmin'] = 0; $modversion['adminpath'] = ""; // Menu // Menu for submenus in main menu when page loads $modversion['hasMain'] = 1;//0 to remove from main menu $modversion['sub'][1]['name'] = _MI_MYPAGE_SMNAME1;//define in language/english/global.php $modversion['sub'][1]['url'] = "../../modules/ipboard/"; $modversion['sub'][2]['name'] = _MI_MYPAGE_SMNAME2;//define in language/english/global.php $modversion['sub'][2]['url'] = "../../modules/weblog/"; ?> _______________________ You also place your little logo in the dummy directory. This acts as the icon to install the module from in the module admin page... Good Luck, and if there is a more refined solution, I'm looking to, so report it here please!

Look at http://worldware.com then check out xoopermod. It makes a complete module framework based on certain inputs from the user.

Xoopermod is great.
 Another way I have done what the initial post requires, where you just want to put a special block on a separate page of your site, is use WF-channel and simply make one blank page in it, turn off the link to us and refer a friend standard pages, and turn on the block I want for display in WF-channel only. This saves you having to make a blank module yourself just to display a block. If you already have WF-Channel installed for other purposes on your site, or you want more than one section of your site handled this way, you can use our handy Perl script to clone WF-Channel. Details here: https://xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=26041 Note: we have not tested the script with WF-channel 1.07. Details about compatibility (and a possible update to the script) will be posted shortly. --Julian

Not too shy to talk

Adding $xoopsOption['template_main'] = 'dummy_mydummy.html'; in index.php and a blank html file called dummy_mydummy.html in yourmodule/templates folder you can add you own html in the module using the templates system
