I've been setting up a little XOOPS portal, and installed 7 modules with no difficulty.

The 8th one presents a challenge!

Its an MP3 library module called "ZINA". Its a nice little standalone PHP program, that has been adapted to work in XOOPS and a couple of other similar CM systems.

I had no trouble installing and getting it to run standalone.

The XOOPS files went in OK, (tweaked as directed) and I can run it from my main menu now.

The most notable glitch i got AFTER putting it out of standalone mode was this:

Notice [PHP]: Undefined index: SERVER_ADDR in file /blahblahblah/xoops/html/modules/zina/zina.php line 217

This error doesnt seem to affect functionality in any way, but it was not present when i tested in standalone mode.

I guess if i look at the zina.php code, i can eventually suss it out.

My REAL problem now is that the XOOPS functionality is basically NIL - its got no options in the XOOPS admin side. Most notably no BLOCK! And being a XOOPS NOOB, i don't have a clue how i can fix the following problem:

clicking the menu item opens the ZINA panel in THE WHOLE WINDOW... obliterating the XOOPS interface altogether.

I would like it to open into the center block!

Can anyone direct me to a NOOB tutorial that will help me build some ZINA blocks or something, so i could solve this navigation problem, and get the link to fire "into the correct frame"? (so to speak!)

TIA!
