Create a folder (example:myModule). Then, in myModule create a file called index.php with code like this

Code:

<?php

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

$module_name = basename(dirname(__FILE__));
$index = 1;
include("header.php");
OpenTable();
echo "<a href=\"http://nukecops.com\">Nuke Cops</a> ";
echo "<a href=\"http://yahoo.com\">Yahoo</a> ";
CloseTable();
?>

Then activate the module.

Create a file called block-myModule.php with this content. Place it in the blocks folder with code like this

Code:

<?php

if (eregi("block-myModule.php",$_SERVER[PHP_SELF])) {
Header("Location: ../index.php");
die();
}

$content .= "<a href=\"http://nukecops.com\">Nuke Cops</a> ";
$content .= "<a href=\"http://yahoo.com\">Yahoo</a> ";
?>

Then activate the block.

I see you also asked how to open it in a new window. That would be like this[code]$content .= "<a href=\"http://nukecops.com\" target=\"_newwin\">Nuke Cops</a> ";
