Adding The 'Welcome' Box...

On the main page of this site, there's a 'Welcome to XOOPS official website!' box...

Where did that come from? What do I need to edit to get that box on the page above the Topics listing?

Thanks! :)

Talis:

You need to go to the admin section: System Admin > Blocks. At the end of the page there's a section where you can create a custom block. Use your knowledge of HTML to build a nice one, and then assign it to appear in the home page. That's it.

Cheers.

You can just make a custom block, stick your static html in it, weight it to "0", call it "Welcome", set it for center block - center, and off you go. At least that's what I did to have a static welcome page to sit above some other blocks on my news start page. It works.

I went one step further. I set that welcome block to be visible only to anonymous folks, and when the users log in, the welcome box disappears, another one visible only to registered users takes its place, and the rest of page stays the same. I love this group permissions thing a lot! lol

Thanks Guys! :)

One more question... I got the block to appear for Registered Users, but can't get it to display for Anonymous Users. I've tried changing the Group Dropdown to Anonymous and THEN adding the block in there too - but all it does is add a 2nd copy of the same block to the Registered User group... How can I get the block to show up for ALL the groups?

Thanks! :)

Never Mind - it wasn't checked in the Groups Window...

I really wish there was a way to copy settings from one group to another. :)
