Codezwiz >> Forums >> General PHP Nuke Help >> Just a text box in my page format...my kingdom for a horse..

It seems simple but I can't do it.
I have created a page similar to a "content.php" page. The thing is I don't want it to be in the content format. I just want to type in a text (an "about us" text) that will not change and cannot be edited or any of the other "content.php" options.
I am using a template theme (sunset) so I have not created this from scratch but I would like to specialize beyond the modules and blocks it pre-offers.

Here's what I would like
A column of blocks on each side (i.e my text box will be an $index=1)
the text box in the center will simply be a few paragraphs of text and one or two pictures.
Its an "about us" page that is only meant to be read and not interacted with.
Do I edit the index.php in that directory? I copied the index.php from the "content" directory.
Is it something else?

Ok ya'll have a headache from reading all this so if you need to know more I'm willing to elaborate.

<?php

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));

$index = 1;

global $module_name;
include("header.php");
OpenTable();
echo "There is where you put your html or text.<br>If you use \"Qoutation marks\" remember to put a backslash before them.<br><br><center>";
echo "This would be the textbox<br><br><form><textarea rows=8 cols=10 readonly>Your Text here Your Text here Your Text here Your Text here Your Text here Your Text here Your Text here Your Text here</textarea></form></center>";
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");

?>

That was Buuuetiful (to quote Mel and Danny from Lethal Weapon)
Can you tag a textarea to change background colors and text colors?

I spoke to soon...or more to the point got what I asked for.

I can't seem to post any images or links inside my text box.
(not my textarea mind you I removed that). Now I just have a table with text in it and I can't place any pictures or link my email in the box.

As usual I must ask,
Any Help?

Your talking about a table i think. You would need to show me the code you have so far so I can show what to fix.

<?php

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));

$index = 1;

global $module_name;
include("header.php");
OpenTable();

echo "<center><b><u><h1>My Club</h1></u></b></center>";
echo "<center>JOIN</center><br>
<center><h2>JOIN</h2></center><br>
<center><b><h1>JOIN</b></h1></center><br>

CloseTable();
include("footer.php");

?>

Anytime you add the "quoitotaion marks" you need to include a / before them so your image link would like this

Parse error: parse error, expecting `','' or `';'' in /home/virtual/site32/fst/var/www/html/main/modules/Who_Who_We_Are/index.php on line 22

Is the message I get instead of what I want.

following is a code of the entire page that granted me this parse error

<?php

if (!eregi("modules.php", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'])) {
die ("You can't access this file directly...");
}

$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));

$index = 1;

global $module_name;
include("header.php");
OpenTable();

echo "<center>Who Who We Are. We Are Two Moms with Big Hearts for XXXXXXX XXXXX</center><br><br>

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x xxxxxxxxxx x x xxxxxxxxxx x x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x x x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx x x xxxxxxxxxxxx
about three paragraphs of text including a few bolds and italized words but nothing very high speed.";
CloseTable();
include("footer.php");

?>

Ok so interface error...someplace between the floor and keyboard.
Got it .

Telli thanks for your astute patience with the all thumbs wannabe designer.

Not to worry this won't be the last dumb one I ask mark my words!!!
