Explain what you mean:
literally in a new browser window?
or without the blocks?

In a new browser window with no blocks (it has it's own layout).

You'd have to manually add a new link and change the target of the link to a new window. (target="_new"). See the FAQ on
http://www.nukecops.com/postt1.html
"Adding HTML Links to Main Menu"

Second, you'll have to remove the blocks
See the HOWTO

Okay when I go to add the extra line

Quote:

Adding HTML Links to Main Menu
Find the following line of code in the block-Modules.php file found in the subfolder called blocks:
Code:
$content .= "<big>&</big>&<a href=\"index.php\">"._HOME."</a> \n";

And add this line after it:
Code:
$content .= "<big>&</big>&<a href=\"LINK\">LINK NAME</a> \n";

Of course modify the "LINK" to the URL you wish, and the "LINK NAME" to the name of the hyperlink.

It makes all my stuff dissapper. I just have my top logo.

This is my code:

Code:

$content .= "<big>·</big> <a href=\"index.php\">"._HOME."</a> \n";
$content .= "<big>&</big>&<a href=\"http://www.jovonna-rose.org/rsjrocks/phpnuke/modules.php?name=Forums\" target="_new">Forums</a> \n";

Okay it worked when I deleted the target code (I must have it in the wrong spot) BUT I now have two &. It looks like &&Forums (the first & is bigger too) and there is no bullet like the others.

The code is

Code:

·

you can delete the extra ampersand.

And you must backslash all quotes inside the string

Code:

target=\"_new\"

It worked thank you!!

Now I have another problem (well still part of the first problem). For removing the blocks I added this code:
[code]
if ($name=='Forums') {
/* Don't display it. */
}
else {
blocks(left);
}
[code]

Where it said but my module still shows.

Found another problem:

· Home
· Forums
· Content
· Downloads
· FAQ
· Feedback
· Forums

Forums now shows up twice. The first Forums is the one I added (opens in a new window), and I don't really know what to do. I want to keep it in aph. order.

Not sure about the blocks.. usually that code works.

Perhaps you'll want to use a more robust menu - I recommend Customize Menu (Sommaire) block

Is there a way I can open it up without having any of my phpnuke layout on it? Like it opens to a new page?

Oh and what do you mean?

Where can I find that?

I found a forum that could be an example and they use phpnuke:

The forum is only designed to work in phpNuke - the phpBB and phpNuke tables are not compatible.

They are using a seperate forum called vBulletin

Okay thanks. I will think of something.
