Hi all.

I am a complete noob, so bear with me please.

I am developing a local news website. Initially, most of my content is going to be direct links to other news websites. Sort of a compilation of local events. I would like to put a small blurp(intro text) on the news front page, and have a direct offsite link attached to it. So far as I can tell it currently takes two clicks to get offsite from the news module?


I like the features of the news module(top news,recent news, archive etc.) but I can't figure out how to get the benefit of these features with one click access to other websites.

If I didnt adequately describe my problem/question, please feel free to prod me for a better description. :)

Maybe XOOPS is not what I need for this site? Although, from what I have seen so far I like it.

Thanks

I am doing the exact thing you are talking about right now.. http://www.lansingsportsrage.com

I find XOOPS to be a great way to manage daily news postings.

I am also in the process of developing a local e-newspaper for the smalltown I live in http://www.grasslaketimes.com and if you'd like to colabrate and learn together, I'd be open to that.

I have a similar issue in Ver: 2.0.13.1. Has anyone come up with a sollution???

It would sure be nice to just be able to just put html URL code in the title fields for the News and Sections modules.
