Custom Page Content

[michaelsilvia]

What exactly is the Custom Page Content module used for? What are some common uses? Anyone have examples of sites using it?

I also need an answer for this, as it shows this as being positioned above the news as a center block. But how the heck do you use it?

I'm using CMPS 1.0.1 here. Advice on how to use this center block would be most welcomed.

This module is used to display the various types of content from your pages. For example, if you add a Template Page, the content of the template specified on that page will be output within this module.

And...? :confused:

I've played some more and still can't see how to use this feature.

If I set up a BB code page with some sample text and an image, and I call it some title, how can I get that block of text and the image to display in the custom content section?

If I add a new template, there don't appear to be any options to add the text for that element?

:confused:

When you create a new page and use BB code for that page or HTML it uses the Custom Content file. After you have created the page oe when you are creating the page to get hte BB code or the HTML file to display you have to have the Custom Content block check marked within that page you created for it to display.

Did that. I tried it as a child to the Home page and with no parent page and in neither case did it show up as the Custom Content element within the Home page, although each time it would show up in the navigation element.

What I have managed to do is to create new modules to display content.

Can some one give me detailed instructions on how to edit my home page to include a section like the one on this site?

Just create a new template module and add the HTML code.
