Display content of sidebox to a mainpage?

How would this be done?

More specifically I am running a contest for my launch and want to drive people directly to a page that contains my Newsletter Subscription form. I would like to have it in a page contained within zen rather then only on the sidebox where its hard to find.

<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_THE_MODULE_YOU_WANT)); ?>

Should work :)

I pasted this into an ez-page with no result

<?php include(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(subscribe)); ?>

subscribe.php is located in includes/modules/sideboxes/NightFall/subscribe.php (1.3.2)

Thanks for helping me Again, and again, and again.......

Ah... forgot you can not use php in ez-pages. Are you using all of your define pages? also may need to use subscribe.php

Kim:

Sorry I messed around and tryed to use subscribe.php rather then just subscribe and didnt change it back before posting the error.

The result was the same jusr a different name.

here is the proper error using subscribe.

Warning: main(includes/modules/subscribe.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/home/teamfast/public_html/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_page_2.php on line 1

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'includes/modules/subscribe.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /usr/home/teamfast/public_html/includes/languages/english/html_includes/define_page_2.php on line 1

Working it from the other side of the bridge, I got it.
Used Dr. Bytes Show sidebox contribution inside define pages and removed the first line of code.

require('includes/application_top.php');
