Ok tnx Ghia, editing the templateset did the trick. That makes me wonder though. I am 100% sure I edited the right file from the right spot. When I download it the changes are there. Oh well, it works now :)

Maybe the general system preference for checking templates needed to be on, altough I always believed that updating the module was doing the same trick.

We need once a clear and complete explaination of all the various paths from template change at the various places to display for this template and template set stuff.

It is something that came with this version. I was using 2.0.16 before and could simply modify a template, empty the cache and voila. Not a big thing though as long as things can be sorted out by this community and the supporting members :)

ok, i just tried to access https://xoops.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=261
How do I add custom links in the main menu?

and the FAQ gives "Sorry, you don't have the permission to access this area. "

I want to add a custom block to my menu that will take the user to an xforms page. Inserting a block seems to be the only way I can think of to be able to set group permissions to the page.

So... as the FAQ isn't working, how do I add a simple html link to a block? Everything I try just shows the link text (not even a link)

Putting a block in a block? Seems like a hard way to do it to me...

go to admin>system>blocks> and click on 'edit' for the 'Main Menu' block (system_block_mainmenu.html) and you should find the code (edit template) looks something like this:

le="color: #000000"><?php <table cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td id="mainmenu"> <a class="menuTop" href="<{$xoops_url}>/">Home - ホーム</a> <!-- start module menu loop --> <{foreach item=module from=$block.modules}> <a class="menuMain" href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/<{$module.directory}>/" title="<{$module.name}>"><{$module.name}></a> <{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}> <a class="menuSub" href="<{$sublink.url}>" title="<{$sublink.name}>"><{$sublink.name}></a> <{/foreach}> <{/foreach}> <!-- end module menu loop --> </td> </tr> </table>


Add your link (regular html will do fine) after the
le="color: #000000"><?php end module menu loop -->

part.
