Hello, I've been looking for literally hours and I haven't been able to figure this out, but I'm pretty sure it's a really easy question. (Yes, I'm an idiot) I would really like to add a channel as a block on my top page like Xoops.org has done with the welcome message. Now, I realize I COULD just create a custom block and type my message there, but I plan on having several other channels (About Us, etc) that are linked from my main menu and I would like to consolidate everything in one place for easier maintenance. This makes sense, doesn't it? Or is there a better way to do this? Thanks in advance for your help, I posted on wf-projects this weekend but never got a reply so I'm hoping someone here can help me. Thanks!

the welcome block on xoops.org is a custom block though..

u could try wf-channel, or freecontent (with web-digest), tinyD module (based on tiny content) or tinycontent itself.. i think they can be used how you're asking but i've never used them so couldn't tell u for sure..

Okay, thanks. I'm currently using wf-channel and so far it works great, except when I want to put a channel in a block. Anybody else know how to do that? How to create a custom block that pulls its content from a channel? Or is that the wrong idea entirely? Thanks again!
