Preferences (or module settings)

Before using this module, I suggest to have a careful look at the admin settings. This is where you will define the functional and personal settings of your module. Those settings have a direct impact on the content pages, blocks and admin preferences.

They are all classified in sections, indicated by square braces around each [SECTION NAME] as follows:.

~Banner: Put here the url of your module banner. Pictures and flash supported.

~Intro: Put here the text you want to see above the index list. This text accept Xoops and HTML codes.

~Default text: You can set a default page content for each and every new page created. This can be useful if you want to keep or define some particular template for you content. Using the {lorem} tag would display Ipsus Lorem content.
