Question: Can you not put modules on any other page besides the front page? What about plugins, are they only for the front page?
I want to put rokbox inside of several articles and hopefully even use rokflow on a couple pages... I have trolled threw the tutorials as well as the forums and i cant find anything telling you the absolute first step to setting up rokbox on a page. As much detail as anyone can use would be most appreciated as i am still very new to all of this. I am so lost with this and it seems Joomla > Me

You need to see the demo page where you got Rokbox.
www.rocketwerx.com/products/rokbox/demo
All you have to do is enter the code that fits your application where ever you want it in an article or static content.
If you are using Joomla 1.5 you will not be able to add it to a module without using the standalone syntax.
UPDATE: I added the standalone syntax code below (see attachment) - Last Edit: 16 years 5 months ago by Maria Dacus.

If you want it on the actual content (say next to a paragraph in an article) then you put the code into the article next to where you want it (probably with the float code). See attached example.
If you want it in a module somewhere on the page, then you have to create a custom module and insert the code you want. Then assign that module to the correct position on that page.

- I cannot open the sample you supplied because it is classified as just a file with no extension. Am i missing a program to open it?

- You can either turn off your wysiwyg editor under your user profile or you can click the html button and enter it there.

You'll notice my image has a <div style="float: left; code. This tells the page that the content within that division is supposed to be to the left of the rest of the content. You could actually create columns that way by inserting text in that division. You can also set how much space will appear to the left/right and top/bottom of the division. You can see what it looks like on my page (
http://www.coastcommunitychurch.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=91&Itemid=28
). Basically it tells that object to stay on the left (or right) of the content in that spot.
(Your text could overlap your picture if you don't set the correct settings.) On this page ( http://www.coastcommunitychurch.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=98&Itemid=86 ) my picture actually covers the green square because they are too close (but I like it so I leave it.) - When solved, please modify your original post and add (SOLVED) into the subject AND change your icon to the green check.

Before we continue I would like to thank you for your help. I am very green to all of this so i get frustrated easily
Next question...
Say i just want to slap the sample youtube video from the rokbox demo onto that buyers section page. (at this point i dont care at all about the positioning). I am going to the article in the back end and i get:
"<div align="left">This is the buyers section.<br /></div>"
So am i just supposed to add the syntax ({rokbox title=|Torino 2006 :: Opening Ceremony Olympic Games Torino 2006 - Ski Jumper| thumb=|images/rokbox/demo/youtube.jpg| size=|425 373| album=|demo|}}) from rokbox demo page after "</div>"? - www.palmettobid.com + Joomla 1.5.8 + Versatility4 = FTW
