I have a design for my current site that uses an iframe to hold the content on the page, while the links are on the outside (so, the browser address always dispays http://www.mysite.com/). Also, it really works well with the design.

So, that being said, I'd like to incorporate my design into XOOPS with the iframe as well. I've never really touched coding beyond simple javascript and html, so I'm not really sure how to approach this. Everything looks so foreign!

Also, I haven't attempted adding it since I thought maybe the links and paths on the outside were different (EX: {members} or something of that odd sort). I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in a helpful direction :)

One module you may want to look at is MyIFrame

There are a few others that have pagewrapping abilities. You can find them on this page: https://xoops.org/modules/repository/viewcat.php?cid=94

Most users seem to favor the Content with Custom Page Titles module

and Tiny Content https://xoops.org/modules/repository/singlefile.php?cid=94&lid=1299

ah thank you (: will any of those allow me to put .. say XOOPS modules into the frame? for example.. the news I add under the news module. Is it possible to set it up so when you click that link, it simply changes the url in the frame?
