Adding Links To The Main Page (Modules)

nuke_noob · Guest

Hi,

I've just installed php-nuke 6.5 and i have some questions.

How do add a new link to the left side of the website in the moudles area?
I created a new folder in the moudles folder, and made a simple index.php page, but i want that when that new link will be clicked, the explorer will open that link but will still show me the php-nuke blocks,footer,etc. --> i want the link to be opened in the middle.

can anyone help me?

Thanks timekeeper,

Some of the links i needed are static ones so hte content option is really good for me.
But what do i do when i want to link an external page? http://mysite.com ?
only if i write moudles.php?... then it opens it in the same page in the middle but if i write http:// it opens it in full page :[

You can make an index.php and put that in a folder with a name of your choosing in the modules folder. Activate in admin/modules
The script for the index.php could be like:

If you wish to make your own menu, there are 2 replacement blocks available at:
http://www.sengers-au.com/downloads.html

These are Simple Menu Builders where you can set all your links through admin. There are many options of how, in what order, with or without images, for users only etc.

I hope you see this....I see that this post is old. I added the folder and made an index.php file in it with the above snippet. However when hit the link it goes to a giant wide page instead of inframe and this is what it says
"< if (!eregi("modules.php", $PHP_SELF)) { die ("You can't access this file directly..."); } if(!IsSet($mainfile)) { include ("mainfile.php"); } $index=0; $theme="UniverseMetal"; ///<------SET A THEME HERE OR PLACE TWO BACKSLASHES IN FRON OF THIS LINE $go_to_address1="http://www.teamstorm.net/roster.htm"; $go_to_address=rawurldecode($go_to_address1); include("header.php"); OpenTable(); echo "
Click to close.
"; echo "

Interestingly enough the "Click to close." works....lol...

Looks like your web server (apache?) does not interpret .php files and rather serves them as normal text. Perhaps you miss a line

I have also used the above code but all I get is the message Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in /home/godless/public_html/nuke/modules/testing/index.php on line 13
but i don't get line numbers, and my layouts are different - I'm not sure which one is line 13. Sorry!

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

if(!IsSet($mainfile)) { include ("mainfile.php"); }
$index=0;
//$theme="DeepBlue"; ///<------SET A THEME HERE OR PLACE TWO BACKSLASHES IN FRON OF THIS LINE
$go_to_address1="http://www.b2g5.com/boards/board.cgi?user=clairefun";
$go_to_address=rawurldecode($go_to_address1);
include("header.php");
OpenTable();
echo "<center><h4><a href="index.php">Click to close.</a></h4></center>";
echo "<iframe SRC="".$go_to_address."" width="100%" height="1200" framespacing=0 frameborder=no border=0 scrolling=auto></iframe>";
echo "<br><center>NB. Using iframes!</center><br>";
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");
die;
?>

Wonderful! It works for me too!

I've been tinkering with this and while I have gotten it to work, it's not working the way I'd like. I'm not fluent enough with PHP yet to figure out how to alter this so that the content on the page I'm referring to pops up into a new browser without being framed into my site.

Can anyone help me out? I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

I don't know if it is what you want but you can find A sample of a Center Menu with Pop-ups here

It is a module that displays a menu in the center and each link in that center menu pops-up a new window.

Thank you! I'll play around with this and see what I can come up with.

Thanks again!

Grr... not having any luck. Basically, here's what I'm trying to do...

I want a module that shows up in the modules block, and it's sole function when you click on the module as it appears in the modules block is to do the same thing as this html code:

<a href="www.mysite.com/test/test.php" target="_blank">New Window Module</a>

So, the module shows up in my modules block as "New Window Module" and when I click on it then it opens up a new window with the page I want to go to. Does this make sense?

I don't know if the following is what you are looking for:

That's close. Except that I don't want to display a new page framed in my site. I just want the module link in the modules block to pop open a new window when you click it.

Here, go to my site. This is the php code that you gave me above:

http://www.kidantrim.com/modules.php?name=Cars

I would like the action of the cars link on the page on the right, to happen when you click on the cars link in the modules block. So when you click on Cars in the modules block, it opens up my Car Gallery in a new window free of my site.
