I am really lost, my site is already built and I want to enable a games module on a games page that I already created...I am so lost I tried to do this in blocks/menu and I am so confused by the views module that I just need some clear direction step by step on how to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance

What exactly do you mean by enabling a module on a page you created? Normally, modules don't get enabled on a single page that a user has created, but adds their own page - if any. Which module is it, and what exactly do you want it to do?

I'm trying to enable the tetris module on a node I created called games. When I enable the module it appears on my homepage and I'm not sure how to change this. I also have the same problem for my photo gallery...it enables itself on my homepage, but I have no idea how to have it only appear on the node I created called gallery.

I know this is silly, but I'm not very technical and I'm so confused by all the different options and language.

I hope I explained it a little better this time.

Thank you,

You can set the game block to only display on the game node in the block configuring the blocks to Show on only the listed pages and entering the url of your game node. This is done by selecting configure on the blocks admin page.

This sounds like what you are trying to do?

You need the node-id of your node. Unless you have given it a path alias, this is the number displayed after "node/" in the url, for example node/5. Now, remember that and go to admin/build/block/configure/tetris.
This is the configuration page for the tetris block. On the bottom of this page, there is a setting named "Page specific visibility settings". Select the option called "Show on only the listed pages", and on a single line in the textfield, type in node/5 (replacing the number "5" with your node-id).

If you want the block to show up on more pages, just add the url of each page in that textfield, one page on each line. If you want the block to show up on the front page, add <front> on a line.

I will try your suggestion...we'll see if this works...

I tried the blocks and excluding certain information to only show on certain pages and this did not work for me.

I will let you know how this goes!

Hopefully this information will help someone else who got stuck in my position

amazing...that worked! Not sure why that did not work the first time, I may have tried to put the alias name in there instead of the node name.

Does anyone know how to edit the bottom footer links...contact us/terms of use/trademarks/privacy statement...I can't find them in the blocks section and if you click the links they do nothing...how do I activate these pages and add content to them?

If this is solved then my only dillema is now upgrading to 6.15..lol
Thanks in advance for all your great help!

The links in the footer that you are referring to are not part of a standard Drupal install. The only item in a clean Drupal installation is the Drupal icon, which can be removed from the Admin -> Site Building -> Blocks page.

Did you get your Drupal copy from drupal.org? And do you have any other modules or themes installed?

The footer information you are referring to will most likely be contained in a block, which you can edit, move or remove at the Admin -> Site Building -> Blocks page. If not, then you can try to look in Admin -> Settings -> Site information, where there is a textfield for "Footer message".
