I know there is an option to display the index of WFS-Channel as the home page. Except the home page URL is redirected to the WFS-Channel module.

I wanted my church pastor to edit the welcome message himself. So I took some PHP codes from some of the suggestions at this forum and came up with this.

mysql_pconnect('localhost''<mySql_login>''<mySql_password>') or die ("Can't connect to DB");
mysql_query("USE <insert XOOPS db name eg XOOPS2>");

$query "SELECT page FROM xoops_wfschannel where CID = 1";

$result mysql_query($query);

while (
$data mysql_fetch_object($result)) {
echo 
"$data->page";
}


I created a PHP block with this and it automatically retrieve the first wfschannel record.

One tiny little problem tho, it doesn't do line breaks so I had to put <p> html tags on the wfschannel welcome page.

The welcome message at our church website is an example of the codes above. Simple but it works.

The wfchannel page ishttp://www.albanycc.org.nz/modules/wfchannel/index.php?pagenum=1

Our home page ishttp://www.albanycc.org.nz
