Hello All,

I am a newbie to Xoops. Still trying to work things out. Help will be greatly appreciated.

XOOPS Version : 2.0.14-rc1
PHP Version :5.1.4.4
MySQL Version :4.1
Web Server :Apache 2.0.55
O.S. :XP Professional
Custom template : (Yes/No)
Module Name : System

Issue:

1. I have created a custom block, ideally I would like to display images inside that block. Is this even possible or is it just for content? I have tried turning on debugs but I get no errors

2. How do I assign a template to a custom block?
Do I manually have to edit files / DB?

Cheers,

Arj

Re: Custom Block - how do I assign a template

Have you got the XOOPS administration manual? It's in the documentation link on the left.

You could also look at this:
Xoops Beginners Tutorials pack is the complete pack of the following tutorials. Available here.
You can include images in your Custom Block.

It wouldn't hurt to look at an anatomy of a default theme either - that's where your templates will come from.

Check the Beginners first steps FAQ's too. HTH

Yeah I have been studying XOOPS for a few days now. I have read any all the documentation that I can get my hands on.

I have not been able to find advanced level tutorial documentation - I would like to understand the architecture better so that I can understand the impacts of changes that I make. I am hoping to make some advanced updates.

I think I perhaps have some problems with my install also. Because i can not do the following things for custom blocks:
- Preview custom block
- I can not embed images (Content is is displayed fine)
- If I select PHP scripts instead of HTML then it displays nothing

A more specific question regarding templates would be: Is it possible to view a Custom block listed under Template set manager/Templates?
