Did you make it your homepage? and also did you use the new version 2.09 or something like that....

A link to your page would help to see what you mean by news in your left column?

i gather you've saved your html page in the modules/freecontent/content folder?

how i've set mine up is as follows:

1. upload html page to content folder
2. make the freecontent block invisible.
3. in admin/freecontent/admin create your connection by giving it a title and the path (not url this has to be the path ie. modules/freecontent/content/tutorial.html) of the connection..

tick the box that says hidden...

then click the add connection button..

now you should see the connection up top, in the 1st column is the Link ID make a note of the id of the connection u want for your homepage..

Now goto your modules/freecontent folder and open up config.php

edit the part that says: $fc_start_id = 1;

change the 1 to the link id of your page..

turn on xhtml compliance if need be..

u may need to goto modules and update the freecontent module, i can't remember whether i did or not..

4. Now goto the XOOPS admin/preferences/General settings and change the start page to freecontent..

now when u click the home button it shud show the page u want..

hope this is useful for you..

Hey jack, i would like to do that but the site is used by customers so i really have to be quick when updating, unless i do it in the middle of the nigth!!

Monty thanks alot for that. It worked, however when your on the homepage the Recent NEWS still show's up as a block on the left column. IF you go to other blocks like members or links or sections it or even News, the News doesnt show up on the left. Just the home page. if you are a unregesitered user the home page looks fine. but if you are a registerd one, then the issue occurs.

Re: Making Freecontent your homepage

Go to blocks admin, ryancoke, look for the column that says " Visible" and click no for the recent news block if you don't want it to show on any of your pages. If you do want it to show on certain pages, click the edit link to the far right of the block and choose what page(s) you want that block to appear in. Don't choose top if you don't want it on your front page.
