I'm trying to do something like you will find at this page with XOOPS Links Module, and I'm having no luck?

Does anyone know how I can achieve this with or without the Links Module? I don't want my users to have to click through categories, and waste time with descriptions, etc.. a simple list of site, and the links under a few categories is all I need.

ANY IDEAS PEEPS?

Thanks,
Babary

Hello Barbary and welcome to XOOPS forums

Yes, here's an idea ... On your main page display the latest links block in the centre and set the amount of links VERY high. Also the length of characters. This should give a long list, hopefully as you require.

Good luck with your site development.

Hey thanks for the welcoming.

Your idea does not even come close, however, to achieving my goal.

OVERALL
I'm trying to mimick the static prototype site I have online right now with Xoops, so I can grow it dynamically and easily. I'm finding XOOPS is not very easy to configure at all, and the navigation is cumbersome as hell.

SPECIFICALLY
For the links, I'm just trying to provide the exact same layout as you see here:

http://barbarybeats.com/links.htm

(1) I can not have this link page on the home page.
(2) I also can not have the user click on a link which takes them to a description of the link... they need to go straight to it, and in a separate browser (target = "_blank")

Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Cheers,

Barbary

Also, any idea how I get that "Welcome" box in the center of the homepage of Xoops, on my site? Is that a "Section Module" or what?

Thanks.
