Hi guys,
I want to create a page, call "what's new?" that hold all (or the chosen) blocks from all the modules? Say the forum modules has a new topic block, so does the story block, I want to include all this "what's news" blocks in one page. I have tinycontent which I can make any page I want, but I don't know how to a specific block on a specific page.
Please help :)
Many thanks

You can only currently specify a block per module not per page, try one of the following.

You could have a look at the 'whats new' module available from:

http://linux2.ohwada.net/modules/whatsnew/

Download @:

http://linux2.ohwada.net/modules/wfdownloads/singlefile.php?cid=1&lid=10

or create a blank module to canvas over with blocks.

If your unsure of how to place blocks, then go to your blocks admin and you can make the changes from their:

Xoops 2.0.16 (I presume)

admin ---> system ---> blocks

You will then see a list of blocks available, you will also note there is two drop downs

- Show blocks visible in - This to show blocks currently visible in a certain area of your website.
- Group - This shows blocks visible by XOOPS group.

Find the block you want to edit, and set the 'visible' to 'yes', and that it's used on a specific module (edit block)

Also how to display on the page, i.e. left right, center, etc, etc.

Remember you also need to change group permissions for whom can view what block too.

admin ---> system ---> groups

Hope this is of some help.
Kind Regards.
Tom

Or, you could make all the 'new/recent' blocks visible only on the top page.
