Hi,

My News module is the home page content for the site at the moment, but is it possible to have other html info pages to put on the homepage (before News) as well? For example welcome information, or links with graphics to different parts of the site? These extra infos should be ONLY in the homepage though.

Thanks

River

I am sure there is a easy way to do this. For example instead of posting only the News module on the home page (with navigation bar), it should be able to including other information as well (admin message etc). Just look at XOOPS website, if you go to "home" you will see:

Welcome to the afficial.....
Latest XOOPS News...
Recent topics...
.....

Can anyone point out to me how to do that?

Thanks.

You can create a MyPage Module or use another content wrapper if you want. I used MyPage instructions and created a welcome module with what I want seen for the start page.

After creating your module you can make it the start page by selecting it as the Start Page in your Administration/system/preferences/general settings.

You can find MyPage information here:
MyPage FAQ

or the developers page:

Macambridge.com by Jack

He also has a very nice manual called XOOPS for Dummies which has proven very helpful.

Happy Xooping!

Or - you could create a block and just set it to appear on the top page...

Thanks folks,

Lots suggestions here, but is there a simple way to do this? in Maxdev, there is an Admin Message module, that I can show up on the home page AS WELL AS other modules such as News. So therefore, I can design the admin message page as an information with links to different part of the website, then still have the News items on the home page at the same time.

Thanks
