Removing the message TITLE

New Member Joined: Oct 24, 2003 Posts: 6

My front page is basically a message, I add the HTML or whatever to the message, I found this an easy way to have a front page and easily edit it.

The problem is that it requires a message title, is it possible to somehow hash out this code so that the message title doesnt show?

Thanks in advance

Instead of hacking up a perfectly good module, why don't you just create a front/homepage module. Wink

Try this, take this code and save it as index.php and place in a folder (name it whatever you want "the folder")

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__));


include("header.php");


$index = 1;





OpenTable();


echo "<table width=\"100%\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" align=\"center\">";


echo "<tr><td valign=\"top\"><br>";


echo "<font class=\"content\"><div align=\"left\">";


include("home.txt");


echo "</div></font>";


echo "<br></td></tr></table>";


CloseTable();


include("footer.php");





?>

Then copy your HTML source to a text file and save as home.txt
Place this file in the same folder as the index.php you created.
Note: Do Not include the HTML or HEAD tags.

Upload to yoursite/modules directory.
Activate the new module
Then set it to be loaded to your home (Put in Home)

Great idea, I tried to use this method for another module, the module contains php code itself.

For some reason or another the right hand block disapears, any idea where its going? or why?

Thanks in advance.

The file most likely is missing the $index=1; line.
