Forum Links Block

[joeychgo]

As you might have noticed, im posting alot of questions. Im new and know little html, no html would be more accurate.... But im trying to learn how do do specific things.......

What I want to do is more for search engines then anything. Some of my forums are also my keywords - so I was thinking it might help with zsearch engines to have a block with links to specific forums.

i.e. I have a car site. www.Lincolnvscadillac.com

Some of my forums are

Lincoln Town Car
Lincoln LS
Lincoln Mark VIII

so I was thinking a block that listed these names, then could take the user directly to that forum -- might help with search engines (especially since those are my keywords)

Maybe im way off - but how would I make this? Whats the html line to make such a link?

Hi again. I'm a bit of a newbie too, but I have a links block set up on my page.

You need to create a new template and a new module.
Add the following content to your template (after changing the URL's to suit).
Works for me!

works, thanks.

Another question -- If I wanted to add, lets say a link to the moderator forum, is there a way to condition out those who are not authorized to see that forum so it doesnt even appear for say a regular member?

For reference, each link line appears as this:

<tr>
<td class="$getbgrow"><span class="smallfont"><font color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2">&nbsp;<a href="http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/chat.php">Member's Chat Room</a></font></span>
</td>
