How do I add my own blocks...?

[theMusicMan]

Simple question sorry, but I have had vBAdvanced installed for me and am not sure how I create my own new blocks?

I need to be able to add several block to the portal for different information I need to display.

How do I create a new block with whatever content I need...?

thanks...

1) In your Admincp - Styles & Templates - Style Manager - Add a new template called "adv_portal_yourname".
Insert your code into this template:

2) Still in your Admincp - vBa CMPS - Add Module

- Module Title - Yourname
- Module Identifier - Leave blank
- OR Template to Include - yourname
- Activate and select the column you want it in.
- Save and you are done.

Woops I just posted how to do it in vBa CMPS. I did not know they wanted it for vBAdvanced.

... thanks guys.. much appreciated. Is there a difference here between vba and CPMS??

[poseidon]

Difference is the answers you get in this section won't help you much with vbadvanced homepage

Here is the vbadvanced section you should be posting your questions in:

OK thanks... still a little confused here though. I have managed to add a few modules to my portal homepage using what I think is CMPS... they all work fine. I have added Google, Flash Clock, plus an additional Custom Block that I am going to add some supporting links in.

What I don't understand is what is the difference between vBAdvanced and CMPS?? Sorry if this is a silly question, but as I said earlier - I have had the application istalled for me as part of the custom skin etc...

CMPS is much easier to arrainge your modules on your portal, for one..
