a very simple question

OK, so I have a theme with links accross the top, how do I make it so that when I click link, it points to a simple html block that I created.

basically when I click on "events" on the top bar, I want my block to appear in the center main page.

I can't believe I can't figure out how to do this.

sorry guys I know it's a silly question.

thanks for the help in advance

You can not link to a custom block. You will need to wrap xoops around your code to create a new web page.
Take a look at this faq: include my own HTML pages in xoops

Or make a 'blank' module and assign the block to show only in that module... Then you can edit the module from blocks admin... ;)

Or use Mastop Publish, which can do the same thing ;)
I used to use this account, but no longer.

thank you all for the answers... I think I will use the PHP code, otherwise I will have a bunch of blank modules and I don't even know how to make a blank module... Is it easy to make one?

I did try Waku, but found that I can only point to it once and I have 6 different pages I wanted to link :(

If you search for blank module, you will find several as eg Ghost.
Then you need only to paste your HTML or PHP code in it and then install it as a regular module. Rename the module subdirectory to anything you like.

hi'

As Ghia said, you can use Ghost module and if you want something else than /ghost in url just :
• rename folder
• edit xoops_version.php to put same name

Other blank modules :
• dummy (http://www.xuups.com)
• blankpaper (http://linux2.ohwada.net/modules/wfdownloads/singlefile.php?cid=1&lid=35)
Still learning CSS and... english

ok, so I tried to install a second ghost module and I get an error that says, ghost module already exist.

how do I install new ghost modules so that I can use for different pages?
