Hi, I am trying different ways to blog using xoops, and so far I've tried simple_blog and have tried using the news module, I might like to move back to using blogger.

However, what I'd like to do is load my blog html file in a block in the center of my main XOOPS page. How can I do that?

Iframe is a html tag used to frame a page into your website..

Try this out then you know what i mean..

create a custom block.
go to system admin ->blocks
copy and paste the script below..
position the block to be center



now view it in your page.

Yo Yo CatCity...Great Tip!

Thanks, I have been wondering how static content is dealt with properly in the XOOPS environment.

Following your instructions, I cut & pasted "da code" into a custom block and positioned it within my front page. Now, all I have to do is tweak up my static content for this block. Are there any suggestions where to place static HTML for XOOPS sites? For my XOOPS site, The XOOPS Download module and an Apache Alias directives share the same directory. (facilitates non-Xoops and XOOPS downloads in one swipe)

Here is the relevant section from my httpd.conf creating a download repository accessible via directly by browser or via Xoops...not rocket science, but Apache is fun, if you got "da privs".

#download repository
    Alias /downloads/ "d:/web/downloads/"
    <Directory "d:/web/downloads">
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews IncludesNoExec
       AllowOverride None
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from all
    Directory>


I am not too concerned about the "Allow from all" in my environment, but it a nice option to exploit if necessary

Is it possible to create a custom block, with a link and when that link is clicked on, the content will show up in the center block??

I want a static page for a contest I'm doing to show up in the center block. I want the "contest" link to show up in a block on the left hand column, but not necessarily be in the center block at startup.

Thanks!
