Topic: Webmail under a Xoops Module or Block

[grequito]

Hi everyone,

I have instaled Xoops 2.0.7.3 on my SME 6.0.1 and I would like to create a module or a block on Xoops that opens the webmail on it, more or less like Contribs crew made with this PHPbb forum.
Does anybody tried it or have a clue on how to do it???

Tanks in advance

Take a look at a Xoops module called TinyContent.  This will let you call an external web page and put it inside a Xoops frame.

Hi Jeff,

Thanks... I´ve just installed Tinycontent, but I can´t understant how do I link it to an external url. I can link to a file that exists on de /content dir, but how can I link to www.mydomain.com/webmail ???

Another thing, on the Main Menu of Xoops apears a line called "Tiny Content". Could it be called WebMAIL???

Regards,

Gabriel

I think what we are looking are two different things here.  Jeff is saying that you can use TinyContent to display links, whereas I think you are wanting to create a content area or block that opens webmail live in that content area/block.

I think the best way to do this is with a custom menu. Go have a look for a xoops module that allows you to create a custom menu block.  I can't remember than name of the module, but I know it's there.  You should then be able to turn the custom menu block on, then define menu items for this block.  Create a menu item that is simply a link.
