You can also use a one-page module setup which will give you the advantage of having the link to your page appear in the main menu. Using a one-page module will also allow you to use the blocks visibility settings for the module because it appears as an option when selecting which modules the page should be visible in.

Once one module is created multitudes of duplicates can be made, this only involves tweaking about two lines.

To setup a one page module first create a folder and name it anything. You only need two main files inside the folder and a module image file which appears in the XOOPS modules admin.

So, you need a content file for your HTML called index.php, and a php file called xoops_version.php. The other image file only appears in the XOOPS modules admin

In this instance your content file (index.php) will look like this

include("../../mainfile.php");
include(XOOPS_ROOT_PATH."/header.php");
$xoopsOption['show_rblock'] = 0;
?>

Your HTML Content Here (No Head and Body Tags)

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

?>

Save this file as index.php

To turn this into a module you will also need to create the file called xoops_version.php with the following content

$modversion['name'] = "mypage";//name of module
$modversion['version'] = 1.01;
$modversion['description'] = "My Module";
$modversion['author'] = "";
$modversion['credits'] = "";
$modversion['help'] = "";
$modversion['license'] = "GPL see LICENSE";
$modversion['official'] = 0;
$modversion['image'] = "blackhat.gif";
$modversion['dirname'] = "mypage";//same name as directory folder

// Admin things
$modversion['hasAdmin'] = 0;
$modversion['adminpath'] = "";


// Menu you can add submenus as links to other content files or modules

$modversion['hasMain'] = 1;//0 to remove link from main menu
//$modversion['sub'][1]['name'] = _MI_MYPAGE_SMNAME1;//define in language/english/global.php
//$modversion['sub'][1]['url'] = "../../modules/ipboard/";
//$modversion['sub'][2]['name'] = _MI_MYPAGE_SMNAME2;//define in language/english/global.php
//$modversion['sub'][2]['url'] = "../../modules/weblog/";

?>

I have commented out the sub-menu links so they will not appear in the module, these can also be deleted if no sub-menu required.

Notice this line from the code above::

$modversion['dirname'] = "mypage";//name of directory

The name must match the name of the folder you created

Include an image file for your Module:

$modversion['image'] = "blackhat.gif";//image for your module appears in admin

Inside your module folder you should now have

index.php (content file)
xoops_version.php (module file)
the image file that appears in the XOOPS modules admin

Add your HTML content to the content file (index.php) and upload it to your modules folder on your server i.e.

http://www.yoursite.com/modules

Then go to System Admin-> Modules and install the module. This module name will appear as a link to the HTML content in your Main Menu. Remember to add access permissions in System Admin-> Groups

I read the XOOPS for Dummies answer, and while it is an awesome resource, that is definitely one of the places it turns into "Xoops for Dummies ... who know how to code in three languages already". LOL - no complaints, but messing too deeply with html files seems like a sure way to smuck up my site forever.
