Hello all! I'm very new to XOOPS. So far I'm very happy with what I have done. I have one question so far, and I hope this is the right place to post it.

Here is my situation:

I use the default News module that installs with XOOPS. When I log in to my site as the webmaster, in the Main Menu, there is a News link. Under the News link there is an Archive link. This takes me to a page where I can view old topics. The page is a list of hyperlinked months that take me to another page that displays all the news items from that month.

I have it set up so that users on my site do not display the main menu. All they get is the user menu. However, I'd still like them to access the archive page so they can look at old posts. Ideally what I'd like is to have a block called "News Archive" or something underneath the User Menu. This block would look like the archive page with the all the hyperlinked months listed. Then when they click on a month, it opens up the news item list on the main news screen.

I hope what I'm trying to ask makes sense. Is this possible? Is there something I need to download and install to make this possible? I'm fairly comfortable installing new modules, and I've tinkered a bit with templates. Any help anyone can provide will be very much appreciated! Thank you in advance!
