Enter the code shown above:

Note: You can also create a custom module by writing the necessary PHP file and its associated TPL template. If you create this type of custom module, please consider contributing your custom module to the Tiki code base.

1. From the Admin: Modules page, click the User Modules tab.
   
   

   Creating a new user module.
   
   The User Modules area lists your existing user modules.
   

   Tip: By default, a new Tiki installation contains a single user module — the Application Menu.

2. Use the Create New User Module area to create your user module.
   

   Note: To use Tiki wiki syntax in your module (including embedding modules and plugins) you must enable the Must be wiki parsed option.

3. In the Data field, enter the content to appear in the module. This could be text, images, a widget, or anything you want.
   For example, to add this weather widget (from weather.com):
   
   You would add this code:
   
   Weather.com script

   {JS(file="http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/USDC0001?template=EVNTV&par=3000000007&unit=0&key=twciweatherwidget") /}

   
   

   Note: Notice we're using the JS Plugin to embed the script.

4. You can add addition text in the module, as needed.
   
   Your user module

   Here's the weather where __I__ live.
   {JS(file="http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/USDC0001?template=EVNTV&par=3000000007&unit=0&key=twciweatherwidget") /}
   [http://www.weather.com/|Click here] to find ''your'' local weather report.

   
   

   Tip: Use the Objects That Can Be Included area to easily add other Tiki content (such as polls or menus) to the module. Simply select the item to add and click .

5. Save the module.

Adding {literal} Tags

{if $user}Hello {$user}!
{/if}
Here's the weather where __I__ live.
{JS(file="http://voap.weather.com/weather/oap/USDC0001?template=EVNTV&par=3000000007&unit=0&key=twciweatherwidget") /}
[http://www.weather.com/|Click here] to find ''your'' local weather report.

Tip: You could also use the HTML Plugin include scripts and embedded HTML tags in your module.
