I've gone through the manual and think I may be a bit confused with this...

WHen I go to my admin cp and edit modules all of my modules have a section where I can specify what templates are being used - except for the "Custom Page Content" module. This module only has the usergrou permissions and title, active, etc. No place to specify what template to use...

Am I missing something?

I basically want to include some basic text where "Custom Page COntent" is positioned on my cmps_index page.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.When you edit the pages, not the modules, at the top in the "Edit Page: {whatever you called section} there is a field called "Page Template" -- that's where you'd put the template name for the custom module. The thing to remember is that the Custom Page Content module is per page.... that means if you want something to appear on multiple pages than it's easier to just create a new module for it but if you have a 'one-off' item to display on an individual page then the Custom Page Content should work fine.

Can't tell you how many times I've been on that very page looking for something and not "seen" that...

Thanks for the nudge...

I am having the same trouble,(trying to get custom content to appear). I have everything else installed, etc., now I just need to know how to add an i-frame or how to define the custom page content, Can you please either provide me with a good easy step-by step, with examples, etc. so I can see the process, or if not can you point me to where I can find out the info? I tired searching for the manual HERE (http://www.vbadvanced.com/membersarea.php?do=viewmanual&productid=4&pageid=2), but the browser always returns a blank page when trying to locate it. Please help- I am at my wits end.

Same thing happened to me, but once I logged into the members area and accessed the user manual from there the page above showed up.
