How do I create a basic module for text on left column?

[jojo77]

For my left column I just need to create module that I can add either regular text when I want or a script to Adsense.

Can someone please give me a quick step by step? I searched the site but didn't see how to do this for 2.0

Admin CP => vBa CMPS => Add Module => BB Code Module

Just go there, read the options, and fill in the blanks. :)

thanks, I think it accepted HTML but i tried adding my google script to it and it outputs nothing on the page. this is what I put in the bb module text box

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-2506493163782522";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_ad_channel ="";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "30210C";
google_color_url = "000000";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

I even got rid of all spaces and checked the source of the page after and it does show the script

<script type="text/javascript"><!--google_ad_client = "pub-2506493163782522";google_ad_width = 120;google_ad_height = 600;google_ad_format = "120x600_as";google_ad_type = "text";google_ad_channel ="";google_color_border = "FFFFFF";google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";google_color_link = "30210C";google_color_url = "000000";google_color_text = "000000";//--></script><script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>

ok i went about it differently and made a file template, created a php file and added my script there and it worked. But can someone tell me why the heck the module title is displayed below the module and not above?

Would have been easier to just make a template module, and pop the HTML into the template. :)

ok i gave that a try but the module title still shows below the module :confused:

Try adding <tr><td> tags at the beginning of your template, then </td></tr> tags at the end.

Thanks both of you, got it to work now.
