Ok, I looked everywhere and I know this maybe simple but I'm new to this whole nuke thing.

Heres my question:

I want to make a page that looks like the default home page but have other blocks in it. How do I do that with PHPNuke 6.5? I don't want it to be my home page but a blank page I can insert some HTML into.

I know how to manipulate the header to link to different pages (modules), but I don't have a clear understanding of how to make a new module that I can edit the text on it. I copied the news module and renamed it Agency to go with the link I made at the top of the page. So I got the link right, but nothing comes up but the modules on the side with a blank middle.

You can see this at www.maddenwars.com/index.php and then click The Agency at the top of the page. This will take you to the page in question. How do I get blocks into the middle?

Thanks for any help you can give.

Here is a quick and dirty way to accomplish what you are looking for!

Create a HTM page that you would like to display as needed! Save this in the root directory of your site (../NewPage.htm)

Create a Name (Directory) in your modules directory that reflects the page you wish to create (modules/htmlpage) as an example!

Next create a subdirectory within it called language! (modules/htmlpage/language)

Create the following php file and save it within this directopry as

Quote:

lang-english.php

Code:

<?php

/**************************************************************************/
/* PHP-NUKE: Advanced Content Management System                           */
/* ============================================                           */
/*                                                                        */
/* This is the language module with all the system messages               */
/*                                                                        */
/* Change nameme below to the name you would like the module to be.       */
/*                                                                        */
/* If you need to use double quotes (") remember to add a backslash (\),  */
/* so your entry will look like: This is \"double quoted\" text.          */
/**************************************************************************/

define("_HTMLMODULE","htmlpage");

?>

Finally create a

Quote:

index.php

that reflects the following This will be saved as modules/htmlpage/index.php

Code:

<?php

if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) {
    die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

require_once("mainfile.php");
$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
get_lang($module_name);

/************************************************************************/
/* Configuration                                                        */
/*                                                                      */
/* You can change this:                                                 */
/* $index = 0; (right side off)                                         */
/************************************************************************/
$index = 1;

/************************************************************************/
/* Configuration                                                        */
/*                                                                      */
/* _HTMLMODULE is defined in the language file (ie HTMLMODULE/LANGUAGE) */
/*                                                                      */
/************************************************************************/

$subject = "$sitename "._HTMLMODULE."";

include("header.php");

/************************************************************************/
/* Configuration                                                        */
/*                                                                      */
/* This is where everything happens. Simply place the name of the HTM   */
/* file you  created in the root below!
/************************************************************************/

OpenTable();
include("NewPage.htm");
CloseTable();


include("footer.php");

?>

Hope this helps!

Thanx Exxxpress. It worked just like you said, but I have a ?> at the top, what file should I edit to get rid of that. You can find it at http://www.maddenwars.com/modules.php?name=Agency. Thanks for all your help

Unless you did a typo in the php files that I provided the ?> must be in your htm file! Please review your files or Post and I will take a look at this or PM me and I will take a look!
