Links of Interest module

[Grimmy]

I am sure that this has been covered before, I have searched and haven't found anything yet (probably the in the wrong forum, it's late and I am sleepy)

I'd like a module like on the home page of VBadvanced. The block like the links of interest. Could someone be so kind and direct me to a link where it's explained how to make that module or help me out in how to make it?

Thanks in advance

Grimmy

The link shows how to add a module or create a module it does not say anything about how the links of interest module is created?

[Brian]

Create a module and then add the links in the template.

[rapheal]

what should we pick for "File to Include" ?

[Brian]

Taken from the User's Manual:

File to Include

This option will list all files that are presently located in your forum/modules folder. If the new module you are creating should require another file, you may select that file from the list here. Otherwise, you will want to add a template in the 'Template to include' option below this option.

i did all that .. but its not showing in the page !

[rapheal]

and how do we add the links ?

[memobug]

The links go right in the new template you create. Like <a href="mysite.com">First Site</a> or whatever html you want. If they don't show when you do a preview on the template, you've done something wrong and they aren't going to show on vBa CMPS.

If they do show in the template preview, and don't show in CMPS make sure you have the template named with the correct prefix and that you have created and enabled a module that contains that template.

It's very easy after you've done it once.

I have tried everything mentioned in this thread and I cannot get it to work. Here is what I have so far.

File to include is blank
Template to include is called links (file saved is adv_portal_links.php in the public_html and the forums directory. Neither worked)
Active is Yes
Column is Left
Display is 2
Template Used has been left blank and I add adv_portal_links and it didn't work either.
Everything else is checked yes.

Any help on this will be appreciated. TIA

This is for a template, not a file. Go to your Admin CP => Style Manager => Add Template, name the template 'adv_portal_links' and then add your content.
