Show module in homepage RavenNuke

This is probably a basic thing to do, but I haven't done this yet.

I am running the 2.02.02 distro.

I have a teamspeak webpost module that shows who is online. The module works perfectly if I create a link to it. However, I don't want to link to it, I want it to show up on the homepage (Center Bottom).

I already have news on the homepage and I want to keep that. There was a setting to "Place in Homepage" but is asked me if I wanted to use it INSTEAD of News. I want them both.

Can I just add a new block and put some kind of code it it to call up the module within that block? Can somebody suggest some code to do this?

Click HERE for the module. Thanks!

well this is indeed very basic...
what they did was create a simple module and used an iframe to show the script in that runs from the root..

so you can do the same by creating a center block and put the iframe in there...

There should be sample block code in your blocks directory. You could use that and send output from your module to it ... do a save as to save it as a block associated with your module. Then go into blocks admininstration and activate it and save the location as center down. That should do it for you.

Thanks. I did as hitwalker said and it worked fine.

Only weird thing is when I go back and edit the block (using backend admin), a message was put inside the iframe tag saying that "this browser does not support inline frames".

I use both firefox and IE. It says this in both.

Is this normal?
