Creating a new block

Using the steps below I’ll walk you through creating a new Content block to display a text notice on our website.

1. Login to your PHP-Nuke admin dashboard.
2. 

   Click on the Blocks icon.

3. 

   Scroll down the page till you see the Add a New Block section, then you can begin entering in content. In this case I’m naming my block Notice, and simply making it a Content block by just typing in some text of This is an important notice!.

   I’ve also set the Position to Right, and left all the other options at the defaults.

   You should see above the new block we’re creating, all the previous blocks and their positions, because we’re setting this new block’s Position to Right it is going to be the 8th block on the right side, as the Information block was already number 7.

   Finally click on Create Block at the bottom.

4. 

   Now if you go to your main PHP-Nuke site, you should see our new Notice block as the last block on the right-hand side.
