I've searched through the FAQ already.

Lets say I'm not using XOOPS. Lets just say it's 1993 and I'm an old school web programmer setting up two simple pages on NCSA httpd

In order to clarify what I want to do, here is a simplified version of the outcome I'd get in raw HTML:

make foo.html
make bar.html

contents of foo.html:

to bar

contents of bar.html:

to foo

Fast forward to today:

I have a stock XOOPS setup.

Given my description above, how would I mimic this HTML example with Blocks ?

All I seem able to do is add more and more blocks to the Home page. I want more "pages" (each page with a distinct set of blocks, and the capability to link from block to block forcing the display of the page that 'owns' the block.


I make a new Block A
I make a new Block B
I make a new Block C

Question.

1. What is the syntax in the Block A editor to put a hyperlink ... to block B?


2. How do I make it so that the Home page shows Blocks A and B and then by clicking a link (show me the syntax) I see a new page with block C only?

This is question about how to configure blocks, how to author the correct syntax in the "text" area of the block editor

The documentation doesn't quite explain this or I'm not searching for the right topics.

I think most of what you want may be accomplished with a mixture of the following features:

1. use multimenu to set up your hierarchy of web pages
2. build your unique content in html and wrap it using a Module like Wraps or Content (I use Content)
3. in Admin set the context for what is displayed on what page

If you want to see this functioning check out my sites at:

There are others but you should get the feel from these...

Why is it as soon as you post the question you suddenly find all the help pages you were looking for after all. ;)

Yes, I stumbled across more help and found similar advice about wrapping, this exactly what I wanted and why I'm glad to use xoops.

Thanks for the suggestions.
