sorry for asking such a dumb question but I have searched the site and can't find an answer.

How do I create a block with a link and have that link open on the center page of my xoops. (using a 3 panel template) I want the link to open in the center

right now it when I click the link, it opens in a new window.

please help.

thank you

You have to add target _self in the link.

That opens the link in the same window.

Hi

Is the link an external one?
If so i guess you can create a page using for instance mastop_publish or content module and display your link using < iframe >

another approach is to use the my frame module

This link to what is it pointing?
An html document or what?
Is it on your site or from a third party?

There are several contact modules for XOOPS and also some free formular modules that can serve as such.

If yours is a PHP file, You can incorporate your PHP code in a blanko module as eg Ghost. Or using as already suggested the myFrame module.
You can also let your file use the XOOPS header and footer by placing your code between this:
if (file_exists("mainfile.php")) { 
include(
"mainfile.php"); 
} elseif (
file_exists("../mainfile.php")) { 
include(
"../mainfile.php"); 
} else {  
include(
"../../mainfile.php"); 

include(
XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php"); 
$xoopsTpl->assign'xoops_showrblock'0); // 1 = Avec blocs de droite - 0 = Sans blocs de droite 
$xoopsTpl->assign'xoops_showlblock'0); // 1 = Avec blocs de gauche - 0 = Sans blocs de gauche 

// your code here

include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/footer.php"); 
?>
