Hi xoopsers!
I wanted to show a wellcome block at my webpage, so when you went to:
http://myweb.com
this block would display, and also the news module (so I put in preferences that News would be my Home page module).
Now, whenever I ask for an article in the News (1.31) module, I am given the article but also the wellcome block!!
Is there any way of putting this block in the home page only?
Thanks in advance,
Juan J.

I don't think you can do that if you set a module as your home page. Try using blocks from the news module to display news articles on the front page, together with your welcome block.

But... there is no bloc with all the news, as when I define News as my Home Page module...
I'd like to show some news in the home page.
I have tried the 'Recent Articles' block but it will only show the articles one per line without photographs or anything... :P
AFAIK there is no block that shows the articles as what you see in the News module main page (I think it is the modules/news/index.php)
Any help will be greatly appreciated (maybe it is so clear I don't see it... :'(

See my front page at WarPigW2.com that is a spotlite block using my AMS articles. The most recent News module, version 1.3 has similar.

Ok. I'll give it another look as I have already the News 1.3(1) module already installed. The only problem is I don't have a Spotlight block in my News module or anything simmilar...
Thanks anyway. Now I see that I am missing something clearly. Don't still know what but I know I'm nearer than before! :)

When you setup your block on the front page in System Admin - Blocks, All the way to the right you will see a small link "Edit" click on that link to add additional options for your block.
