Link

[stuarttunstall]

Having now started to set up my new home page, I want to add a module call "LINKS", I belive I need to set up a template adv_portal_links, but what code would I need to enter in the main box?

At the moment, I have just put a tempory link in the news section to my old links page, can I do the above to create a box in the Left column to do the same?

Please help an idiot ;)

Thanks for the reply :) Were you say put the code for my links, what do I put in there?

Sorry to be an idiot, but I am very new to this.

You may want to check some basic HTML tutorials if you don't know how to create a link. ;)

I will learn in time, I have only been messing about with forums since March this year, and it is completely new to me.

If people are not able or willing to help, then just say so, I am asking questions so I know how to do it next time, the manual seems to me to be written for people who already know all this, NOT people like me just starting.

Thanks for setting the original thing up for me, I will look at other sites now to find out what I need to know, rather than keep going in circles and getting nowhere :confused:

All I want to know is what code I need, I know I could do with HTML tutorials, and this is aimed at being one!!!!!!!!

StuStu, relax and get a cup of coffee. I have no idea as to what actual code you need as I dont know what you are going to use for links.

Here is the code for a basic link:

Thank you.

All makes sense when explained, I now know what I need to put.

I certainly didn't mean for that to sound rude, not helpful, or anything like that. If you're going to be running a website though you really should know some basic HTML. Finding a good tutorial and trying a few things would be beneficial since the next time you will either know the code, or at least know you can go back to that tutorial and find what you're looking for. :)
