First of all, a big hello to all you guys!
I´m new here and have been looking everywhere for documentation about the themes and i have not encountered nothig about where or how to place this: <{if $xoops_showcblock == 1}> and this: <{/if}> .

Because i´m not a programmer and i´m also beginig to understand xoops.

If some one has been passed through this or have some info about this, could you help me or tell me where to find a solution? Please.

Sorry for any error on my english.

Xoops is my favourite !

Thanks!

This is my theme.html file:

I don't understand your question... are you asking where to put this tag? (The tag basically says if you have enabled some blocks to be shown in the center column, then do this...)

Could you be a bit more specific?

Hello and thank you hightyde.

My question is: How and where to place these tags because my theme file when i upload it to the server, it blanks my screen and doesn´t display nothing, then how i make my theme.html file display the info of the website?

All this is due to the creation of the theme for this website: http://www.ann.com.mx/noticias/

I hope Im being especific enough, thanks for again hightyde.

Good luck!
